Can you honestly debate the fact that he is already fulfilling all his promises?

Would you prefer that he allows Islamist extremists into the US to the detriment of American people?

Exactly.

Trump is AWESOME!

Trump - President for Life!

This is excellent news.   About time we stop terrorists from coming to America.

Considering the law today is completely not enforced, the concept of doubling the penalty means a law with more penalty also not enforced.

As a Thai policeman told me, "Thailand doesn't need more laws; it has plenty of laws.  It just needs the laws enforced."

The problem is not the law, it is the lack of enforcement of the law.

Got to love gik !!

Hope she gets arrested, charged and convicted of assault. Nothing makes this acceptable. A truely poor display of humanity.

I hope she does not get arrested, does not get charged, and is not convicted.   It is a personal affair.

Exactly.  It is a personal affair.

Firstly, this Forum is so against Western women it is sometimes horrible to read.  And extremely amusing!!  Raped women who asked for it. and now this!!  You should all pat yourselves on the back!!

 

How do you know she knew she was pregnant?  I remember missing a period whilst on holiday in Thailand.  The change of climate, food etc. can add to a woman missing her period  for several months.

 

How do you know she was drinking?  Did you see her?

 

It is not the 1950's where women took to their beds the minute the were diagnosed.  And stayed there for the duration.   They go out, travel, go to parties, participate in the Olympics.

 

It is not a disease.

 

As for the hospital bill, i don't know.  But glad that she is OK.

It is not a disease, but she has a responsibility for someone besides herself.  She is selfish and not considerate of a young child inside of her.  Full moon party when pregnant  .. without money ... without insurance .. only a crazy feminist would condone this activity.

I rekon the low lifes are the cheap charlie tourists that have left the hospital and Thai taxpayers poorer.Will she send the money when they get back to UK?

Totally agree with you. 

Yes, I have permanent residency.  Very time consuming and very complicated.  You should search on ThaiVisa.  Someone posted extensively on requirements and how to get it.

Considering hundreds of them pass my front door in Asoke every hour, yeah, I know what taxis look like in Thailand.

GrabTaxi and GrabCar are two different services.

Ahh.  GrabTaxi and GrabCar, got it.  Thanks for clearing that up.

 Classic racism expressed so articulately. George Orwell would have been proud of the mental gymnastics required. Yup, freedom means something different depending on where you come from - not all people can expect to be equal, afterall?

Classic ignorance expressed so articulately.   Cultures are in fact different.   Your communist ideology already lost in the global cold war.

I wouldn't mind people disagreeing if they actually knew what they were talking about.

GrabTaxi drivers are regular taxis.

I thought they were privaet cars, i.e. unlicensed taxis.

Is that not correct?  The picture shown on the headline is not a taxi.  

I assume u know what taxis look like in thailand?

What do you mean you don't understand the concept?

I guess the people behind the app have a little more business acumen than you because, in the real world, not everyone lives within walking distance of a main thoroughfare where taxis can easily be hailed.

With the app, drivers can get guaranteed work without having to cruise back streets and the passenger gets a taxi without having to walk a distance.

Using GrabTaxi gets you a standard taxi.

Using GrabCar gets you a private driver who charges less but who may or may not have insurance for carrying paying passengers.

I use GrabTaxi regularly and have always been highly satisfied with their service.

I'll only use GrabCar if no taxis want to bid for my journey.

I disagree.  Regular taxis are better service.  

This women is in the wrong.   Full moon party, drinking while pregnant, comes to a foreign country without money, doesn't check her insurance policy to see if it covers her.  

What a terrible mom and I am surprised at the number of people here trying to defend her.

What about the hospital and their jobs?  I know lots of Thai nurses; they don't make much money.  Who will pay their bills?

The army is doing a great job in a highly difficult situation.   Most Thais that I know support the stability that has been in place since the coup.

Democracy as practiced in Europe or the United States is not necessarily the best system in parts of Asia.  Different cultures may mean a different system. 

You signed a contract promising 3 months notice.

If you were professional, you would hold to your contract. 

Dear FredNL:

I read thru your postings criticizing people here, e.g., guys who marry bar girls from Ihsan, and that you have advanced degrees.

I have found people here to be genuinely trying to help, and in many cases, going well out of their way. 

You have such an over-the-top obnoxious response to people trying to help you.  If you feel that way about others, then why come here at all?  

I have advanced degrees ... not clear to me, however, that you also have advanced degrees given the grammar you use when posting. 

To the other TV members, I certainly thank you and appreciate you all for the numerous advice and tips you give for living here.   Thank you to Ubonjoe and all the other folks like him here.

For those of you interested, perhaps some facts ...

HIV is mainly, not allows of course, but mainly a disease of IV users, homosexuals (anal receptive or bottoms being the most vulnerable), and female partners of the above 2 groups.

Heterosexual transmission from female to male, although possible in theory, in practice rarely happens ... I am not saying it is impossible, I am saying it rarely happens.   Anecdotally I know of one guy whose female partner had HIV, they had unprotected sex regularly and he never caught it ... after years together.  

For those of you saying we all need to be careful, well yes, perhaps for zero risk that is true, but if you are a heterosexual male who is circumcised, it is highly unlikely you will contract the disease.

More scientifically, I refer to you to Medhelp: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/Question-about-infection-odds/show/247359

Odds of a male catching HIV from a female from unprotected sex is about 1 in 2,000 - assuming the female has HIV.   This number drops again by half if you are circumcised.

If you assume only a 1% chance a female has HIV, multiple this by 1/2000 and you get approximately a  .0005% chance of a random female giving HIV to a male for a single act of unprotected vaginal sex. 

For comparison, your chances during your lifetime of being struck by lightening are 1 in 12,000 or about .0083%.   You have 1,666 times more chance of being struck by lightening than (assuming a 1% chance of a random female having HIV) receiving HIV from having one episode of unprotected vaginal sex.

Of course if you have many episodes, your chances go up ....

This is not to somehow detract from the reality that HIV is an awful disease and we should all help to getting to a cure ... I am just putting some reality of figures.   HIV, compared to many other communicable diseases, is comparatively difficult to contract ... if it wasn't difficult to contract, many of us would already be dead.  

Good.  He should leave Thailand.  Typical arrogant westerner.   Why doesn't he go back to his own country and tell the Brits what to do?

If you don't like it here, then you should leave.   Why do so many westerners, including many of whom will likely reply to this post, complain about Thailand and still stay here?   If you don't like it, then leave.
