This is not the man we reported dead? Here, Nurse, hand me that Syringe, this mistake can be taken care of.

My wife and I plus our cats, birds and an unknown loving creature commute as needed between Pattaya and Ayutthaya. We don't get tickets, we get out of the way of idiot drivers and don't deal in smog.

I confess, we have found some of our best help are not Thai nor local boys with the RED NOSES. Drugs apparently so cheap the daily users steal or bum the money, no need to work. We paid proper wages according to skills, mostly in the 700 Baht day range. Need a painter? one of the workers knows a good one. Need someone to lay tile, same. I think; what is the future of these druggies? They knock up a local

14 year old and get her to work to support their sick habits. Too bad, can't fix the culture.

Sawing a Piggy bank with a kitchen knife? This really smacks of a drug problem.

Man. Tutsi Warrior is tough, drastic cruel actions. Cranes are built for specific lifting and when limit is exceeded, collapse under load is guaranteed.

At 78 I think death can't be all that bad, when I see how many Thais chose death over sensible driving there maybe something there. I worked hard and have a firm monetary base and a Thai wife of 18 years who helps me stay alive.

Why do any of your "correspondents" give a <deleted>?

Sympathy located in dictionary between <deleted> and SILLYFUSS. Should still be in Thai prison. Had a bar on Pat Pong eons ago. Nice ladies, good booze, fair prices, no stuffed cups, definitely no drugs. Clientele mostly Oil Field hands, American GI retirees, American & British Saudi workers, DEA, CIA good gang all. Lost my lease to greedy Thai lease holders plus I needed to get out of the booze business to save my liver.

Poor planning, no market analysis. A typical "If we build it, they will come", lots of luck.

200 Baht is a cheap get away. Shame on the person taking and posting the video. Non-Thais have no idea of the miserable pay given to Thai Police. I was happy to pay 200 Baht and be on my way.

If you have a cintella of sense, you would not be on the street at 3 AM.

Run baby run, take your child and rid yourself of this purchasing agent.

My wife and I knew if she didn't get me out of the bar business, I would die a bit sooner than later. Off to Pattaya where we already had friends and acquaintences. Initially looked to rent but didn't see anything we liked. Wife liked house for sale. It was not well kept but wife felt "at peace". Buddha stand had to got as wife and I are Muslim. Not long before I was working in Saudi and had the money for renovation. Wife did

design and oversaw construction, cost a bit but was worth it. Now a very comfortable home, quiet neighborhood.

It seems kind of silly to ask about what to do and where to go when you have only one week visit.

As indicated, no age, sex, race, single, married. I always count the first day into my hotel and sleep. Go from there.

Until they try to wear the mantle of "President of the United States".

I'm approaching 79 and just cannot lose the pounds, then I think, just how long do you want to live? I've had a good life and only a few regrets. Anxious to see what's on the other side.

Ministers and Priests do their dirty in the quiet of a secluded office while Yellow robes will hit you with their begger bowls.

Dog bites woman; woman bites dog. She should have pulled negligent neighbor's teeth.

I only paid 200 Baht once on an illegal "u" turn coming from Siam Country Club. Since then paid 200 Baht for illegal uturn out of store on corner of 2nd road and (I forget) and again coming down RR road when the police had blocked a right turn and I didn't see road markers (last two were simple 200 baht tickets properly written and paid for). Now too old to drive or do anything else.

So if you stay out late and come home in the early morning, we're going to get you. I  have no dealings

with Thai Police but if I had to I would have my attorney on hand, Plus I would never be on the

street at 3:30 AM in Thailand. I would side with the Dutch man and never trust that TPs (that would be Tourist Police).

The unguarded back door is for the HI-SOs..

Tragic loss for the family of this beautiful young child. No parent should have to suffer this pain. Life in Prison without Parole and let him sing to his fellow prisoners.

Nothing is FREE when you are stealing, unless it's a beer carrying truck on it's side.
