Piers Morgan summed him up pretty well.
Michael " Sammy the Bullsh#@t Artists" Cohen.
Yes I have lied but I'm not a liar.
Nice try, Cohen. Enjoy your holiday in the big house. I'm no expert but you would think using Clintons attorney would ring alarm bells in anyone's head. For a lawyer, Cohen isn't real bright.

What a sook.
He needs to remember that actions have consequences.

And why do you so confidently say that Chomper.
After all there was no collusion so that argument is out the window. What else do you have ??

Quick, rush to burn everything we can before the ban. Inconsiderate <deleted>. I hope they burn themselves in the process. Not one bit of consideration for anyone especially the kids.

How about jail time for those lazy inconsiderate farmers burning the cane. That's been illegal for years but never policed.

Spoke to a mate who owns a fairly big bar in Pattaya yesterday and he said it's business as usual.

I'm waiting for the lazy b*#!d farmers to come out and apologize for deliberately breaking the law burning the cane and poisoning everyone around them. I watched a video of some kids being evacuated from school because of these ar*eholes lighting fires. The kids weren't just walking calmly. They were bolting down the street and the flames and smoke was massive.
3 weeks on and I'm back offshore and still suffering from the effects of this PM2.5.
I used to have a lot of respect for farmers seeing how hard they work but thats changed and they're just a bunch of inconsiderate morons who care about themselves and nobody else to save a few bucks.

They can also start by prosecuting the lazy farmers for burning the sugar cane. 3 weeks ago there was 210,000 sugar cane fires burning across Thailand without a care for anybody's health.
The farmers know it is illegal to burn yet year after year they flout the law and get away with it.
The co-ops came out publicly and stated that they would no longer accept burnt cane but it remains to be seen how serious they are.
Every day I read the news makes me angrier and angrier that the government is sugar coating this issue with their crazy solutions when people are getting sicker every day.
I suffered a severe chest infection a few weeks back, ended up in hospital and had no choice but to leave Thailand early for work and go to Perth to see my GP. By the time I got to Perth, the chest infection became a full blown asthma attack and for the next 2 weeks I was on double doses of Cortico Steroids to keep my windpipe clear. 3 weeks later I'm starting to come good but I'm concerned that when I get back to Thailand on the 23rd Feb, it's going to start all over again.
I've made plans to go to the country and get out of the foul air but there's no guarantee it will be any better anywhere I go.
One positive to come out of this is it has hit the world stage and the world is watching. BKK's economy has reportedly taken a 3 billion baht hit and it will get bigger as the tourists stay away. Maybe thats what needs to happen for this show boating government to take it seriously.
I'd put money on the fact that this time next year we'll all be repeating ourselves as nothing will be done.

Laem Chabang is fantastic but make sure you know the price you are going to pay before booking. 6,000 baht a round is what you may end up paying outside of special days, pricey to some but worth it to play on a course of this standard. Same can be said for the Siam Country Club courses: Old Course, Plantation and Waterside which does do cheaper deals and worth it.
Bang Phra is great and a good price, as is Kao Kheaw and Burapha (opposite Laem Chabang) up that direction. Phoenix a good option closer to Pattaya. Green Valley, Saint Andrews and Silky Oaks is also a fantastic set-up.
Fact is, you are spoilt for choice and wherever you go it will probably be excellent.
Laem Chabang is 2437 baht for 18 holes on Tuesdays which is great value for a course of this calibre. Normally weekdays is around 4900 bht. Playing tomorrow morning in fact.

Burapha
Laem Chabang ( Half price on Tuesdays at the moment ) Magnificent course too.

Got it. I remember seeing one of those now.
I was thinking of the UV ones because they require no refills, and the idea of the light + carbon dioxide + fan seems to suggest they will work better than most.
thanks
Matt
Be careful with the small ones that you put the little metal plate in. They do work but you'll wake up with a splitting headache if you have it on while you're sleeping. You'll be breathing in the stuff they emit and they dehydrate you big time aswell. I won't use them anymore for that reason.

Many of us living in Thailand have little interest in donating to Gofund me pages when yet another tourist comes to grief in a manner that voids insurance.
However, this guy seems to be a member of the Fremantle Butterfly people whom I'm sure will forgive the way he injured himself and donate in droves. They will have many fundraising events such as folk music concerts, vegan food stalls, street theatre, juggling and stilt walking.
They will look after their own, albeit 2 or 3 dollars at a time.
I agree.

My GF said the thunder was that loud it woke her up. Been pouring down at my place in Naklua she said.

2k for a chartered van would be very nice... no more detours to pick up and drop off the others. May be 3.5 hr is all it takes compare to 6 hours max.
The van at Sukhumvit is only 250B...
There are two or three travel agents on the N side of Pattaya Klang between Second Road and Beach Road, where you can book a shared van that would pick you up and go directly to the border without detours...may be 600B.
Yes it was very nice.
4 hours total to my place in Naklua and that including stopping for a smoke and food.

My missus lives pretty much on the border and we get a private mini van when we go back and forth.
Nice and new and really comfortable for 2k each.
I'll try to get the guys number for you.

I read a website called " Offshore Energy Today"
It updates daily and there is a lot of info regarding what companies are doing ok and what companies have won contracts.
I'm not looking for work as I'm one of the lucky ones to be with the same firm coming up 16 years in November but for anyone who is looking, it's a good place to start.

Just read on a W.A. news site that his sister and family first thought it was a hit and run but apparently not the case.
Hope he recovers.
This from his sister just now,
"Last night when I spoke to Mum they were investigating a hit and run because of the severity of his injuries and someone rang at 4am to call for an ambulance but when they got there, there was noone there so they thought it was suspicious," she said.
"I have since been told that a lady witnessed it and he misjudged a corner and crashed into a concrete barrier at full pelt with no helmet."

I'm thinking along the same lines as Farang99. I had planned to move here 6 years ago but for some absolutely stupid reason I let my little head rule my big head and shacked up with another Western leech who just recently had me in the family court. Everything was planned for the move then i made that mistake. I have the best of both worlds right now working offshore and spending my time off in Pattaya. I have rented a nice place in Naklua and just when i'm starting to get a tired of it, it's time to go to work and dry the liver out. After 3 weeks at work I can't wait to get back. I have a great girl in Pattaya who looks after me and never asks for much and my mates that live in Thailand love it just as much as I do. Still have my property in Perth which I will maybe think about selling in 5 years when my work finishes out here. To be honest, I can't see myself ever living back in Oz full time but will go back periodically to see my kids and grandkids.
Wish I had of moved to Thailand years ago.

Expelled at BKK today
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
I work FIFO and have been coming in on a 3 weeks in 1 month out for the last 2 years.
Even though I don't ever exceed 28 days I decided to go down the METV route to, if anything, try to show that I'm doing the right thing and not using the VE route and run the risk of the same thing happening to me. At the end of this swing at work I will be hanging around in Perth to apply for a new METV. This will be #4 so hopefully it will be granted. I always have copies of my next 2 return flights and accommodation along with no less than 30k baht on me at all times. The IO actually told me last time that I don't need a visa but you can never garuntee getting a polite and friendly IO like that so for $550 a year I'm happy to pay it. Just my 2 bobs worth.
