seems like he got brain surgery already somehow and now he simply wants to get back home and that's where the costs are coming from. He could do worse than being in Thailand but he needs to find a cheaper hospital, which probably does't' exist on that island.

Oops re-read again. So he already had brain surgery in Thailand and now needs medical reparation for 6 million baht and wants others to pay for him. How about he just stay in Thailand until he recovers. If he's brain dead then have the family come for the funeral in Thailand. This guy is probably the kid of some Nigerians that made it to England in the late 80s or 90s and now he's traveled to Thailand and smashed his brain. This story has nothing to do with the English, Europeans or even Thai's for that matter. It's just some African with a British passport. If I have any money to donate it will go towards my own family or locals in my Thai community, not some random Nigerian that wants to vacation in Thailand and do dangerous things. Stop feeding the bears, give these people ZERO baht every time.

I went to Samui for the first time last year during January and stayed on some beach villa on the north/west corner. Got a motorbike and explored around the north and western side of the island trying to get up all the steep little concrete roads I could find. The island has some shockingly steep roads I had fun with but would be deadly during the rainy season. Otherwise I didn't experience dangerous traffic or anything out of the ordinary for Thailand down there. I think I may have been on the wrong side of the island though where it's not very dense. There was some tension on the narrow roads in a few places and it picked up once you get in to the city. The most noteworthy thing about Samui is how non-Thai it is. 100% dominated by tourism. Even the staff at restaurants was Burmese often. There wasn't a single Thai person on the flight to or back from Chiang Mai. Fake Thailand to say the least. If tourists are crashing often they're probably just doing it to themselves is my guess and doesn't even have much to do with Thailand per se.

how much does it costs to do brain surgery in Thailand? Surely not 6.2 million baht. If he's desperate he should find the best hospital he can afford and do the surgery in Thailand, a country well known for medical tourism anyways.

I was just in Chiang Dao 2 week ago. So much open land there. Light pollution wouldn't be a problem.

Go anywhere outside of a big city and you can probably see it. This is where I live. There's a really annoying street light right outside my house on the street but I can still see the some very stars beyond the trees. If I bothered to go out a few minutes I could escape the street lights and should get a good view. I bet it's this way all over rural Thailand.

Ok so now I'm curious, do you guys really not know Thai girls love toy dogs?

tell me how I'm wrong.

My dog is well behaved and quite enough unless you come to door. Besides that these dogs are CHICK MAGNETS. Thai girls love these things. Get one and you'll have girls coming up to take pictures and ask it's name age etc...

Farang is a handy term for white people, doesn't need to mean anything more than that. It only hurts you if you desire a belonging in Thailand and feel isolated when they remind you that you're not one of them. IMO you shouldn't be seeking validation from them and be proud of your heritage as Europeans.

People saying "westerners" all the time feels tedious to me. You're all Farang or white people as far as I'm concerned. Plus, when in Rome....

"You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American." Ronald Reagan. It's been going on a long time and spans the entire population. Endless propaganda on TV and movies has been devastating also. People are learning their lessons slowly but not even a majority of American understand not all cultures are equal and should be kept out.

nothing, are you sure? So my dog and the pit bull have the same chance to kill if only I was a worse owner. Make it make sense. no

I think they're just using Buddhism as an excuse to be lazy do nothings. They can't kill the dog because it's against their religion but if the dog kills you then it must be karma. How very convenient. Sounds like the perfect philosophy for a person dedicated to a life of sloth and inaction.

If you're a gun owner and accidentally shoot someone it's still your fault. Same with dogs owners. You can't always control the dogs actions but at the very least you must be held accountable.

why are you guys bickering so much. Here look at my dog when she was a puppy. Isn't that cute?

It's a great friend and perfect for Thailand. Best 6000 baht I ever spent.

Governments love it too because they require endless programs they need to spend money on now. The USAID thing happening in the US is just scratching the surface. If they did a real full scale audit of what 3rd world immigrants cost the US tax payer people would be horrified.

it's deeper than this too. You would need to literally separate families so they don't spread their backward ways to their children. Forced relocating and separating families is not practical of course so they just let it rip. Like Muslims from Africa that surgically remove their daughter's clits. Americans thought it would be so kind to help these poor refugees and now you have female genital mutilation an issue in Minnesota. Who needs this crap? If you're going to have mass immigration at least have SOME standards. The lowest bar should be "would I take a vacation in their country?" If the answer is no then a full stop ban on those immigrants.

Really? Try asking a Thai about plans after a person dies. I get scolded every time I ask these questions but it's important to plan for them. They seem very reluctant around the topic.

Why does a Brit have a Donald Trump avatar then? I assumed you were American obviously.

If I have anything nasty to say I'll wait until I have time to post there. 😆

Seems like 99% of the bad Farangs go to a couple places (you can guess where). The people I met in the north have all been good people and often are there because they jive with the locals and want to live like them.

Amazing how women all over the western world have campaigned to be invaded by savages from broken countries they wouldn't dare even visit once. Pakistan, Somalia, Guatemala etc... Are you kidding me? Then they complain they don't feel safe in their cities and move to Korea or Iceland where there's no diversity.

White people have a death wish with Africans. I don't know what it is because they will not leave them alone and continue to intervene in African and take as many African immigrants as possible. All we get in return is crime poverty and a population explosion in Africa producing even more problems in the future.
