How sad for the man running his peaceful coffee shop. What a whoring bitch he chose for a wife and she for a lover. She, lover, and gang all get to spend a long time in Thailand's finest accommodations, daily sea food and rice. Buying a life is so cheap in The land of smiles. I'm happily married for 45 years to a wonderful wife and non-demanding family.

What century will Thailand fix the HANGING WIRES PROBLEM?? In many places you cannot even walk on a sidewalk without the danger of walking into hanging wires. This DANGER is totally inexcusable if not CRIMINAL.

Schzaam...you are now a Diplomat and fully understand the crooked operations of Thailand. Same names, same rank, same money, same beautiful homes, same old bejeweled wives, same many jeweled mia nois....he knows all about Thailand.

Go fund me is bu.s.it. My daughter, granddaughter and daughter's beau spent 30 days out of USA via Japan, Bangkok, Pattaya didn't need it but had plenty of insurance. Why so many Brits got their hands out all the time for bar bills (oops Hosp bills), etc. Yanks just hang in until they die.

The poor Thai can't afford vegetable products and they rightfully blame their so-called leaders.

I'm an American and my wife is a Thai. She pays all bills and I see where and how she tips. She often gives to the "real" poor and pays 500 Baht per day (Thais lucky to get 350 Baht/day) to laborers she hires for work I can no longer do which is just about anything now at 79. No more bars so that problem has gone away. In a younger foolish period I spent foolishly and enjoyed it foolishly.

Such tender egos of Thai men, must run home and beat up on Mom.

In each of these stories, I can't believe how careless people are with Laptops; Bags of Money, etc..If I carry more than 20,000 Baht cash I'm loaded (of course there's two credit cards with a total of $28,000 US line of credit.

Pretty sorry story, get room with bigger bed. I was stationed in Korea for a year and other than getting used to the Kimchi smell,  loved it.

I'm assuming you speak of Thai Baht?

My wife gets 36,000 in SS from the US and I give her another 36,000 from my retirement for 72,000 total.  She pays for everything...I just eat, sleep, and complain. But, considering the cost of living here, I don't spend another dime and the rest of my Pension get banked/invested every month.  However, I do go home and get a new O-A Visa every two years...

 

I think she got a better deal hanging out with me and working in the US. 

Partner in bar on Patpong 2 (Cloud 9) centuries ago. Guaranteed no underage, not seniors but nice ladies. Buy ladies a drink or two and if she was amenable, reasonable buy out and away they went. Never in the three years there did I have a bad news situation twixt lady and customer. Never went with any of our ladies and all knew that was the standard. Enjoyed until big bucks of Sudan, Saudi Arabia and finally a bad year in Nigeria (not recommended for employment). Cloud 9 was remodeled somewhat and owned by farang (who got screwed out) and an old conniving Thai. Closest I've been to Patpong since was Lawyers office in building across the street. Got back money I put in both in cash and fun. Now safely and happily married.

There was a time you could take your tourist friends including young children, not any more.

We never know just how desperate these folks are or why they choose Thailand rather than their home countries. They may know that the body dies but the spirit never dies, there is more and more and more, some good some not so good but the spirit never dies.

Your headline misleads one to believe that this is all being done gratis Bill Gates.....FAT CHANCE.

Years ago my driver (at the time) failed to react to drivers who braked hard so he get caught in it. Damage was was not that great but it really scared my wife (I was not in the car at the time). Once she fired the driver she had the damage repaired but in addition she had steel bumper material completely wrapped around the car. We may be in an accident but it will take a 10 wheeler to get through the steel protective barrier. I think we paid several thousand baht but have had many inquiries as to where we had the work done.

If the murdered girl had been my daughter, Mr. Smiley and all the police and judges he has bought off with his offshore money, would not protect him from gentlemen who specialized in their own manner of justice.

It's rare to have any clerk in any store to ask you to sign card.

Not mentioned is that several millions, close to 1.5 billion US dollars have been donated by US citizens, as ZERO coming from French billionairs.

One of my two cats is a rebel. Leave the door open a crack and off she goes. She always comes home if caught in a thunderstorm or when it gets dark. She's spayed and the male is neutered but I'm always worried she will get into a fight with an unprotected cat. All our friends know to be care full when exiting the door but young kids forget and the cat is fast. Today she's on a leash but it's too easy to get dangerously tangled and she has to be watched. I don't like to cage them all day, all night OK.

1. What is the penalty for arrested racers.  2. What do police do with motorcycles confiscated from the cute little boys not home doing their homework.  3.  What penalty for the negligent parents. I know for a fact that Police salaries, particularly new recruits, so auction off the bikes with clear titles with money going to police benefits.

Well done, no one injured. P... poor maintenance, seems like.

Taser in one hand, 9mm in the other. If the 1st doesn't do the job, most 9 mms have a 9 shot capacity..use them all.
