As you live a long way from the in-laws you've already made a great decision IMHO.

 

I know exactly where you're coming from. Visiting immediate family is one thing, but when all the relatives and hangers on get into the fray too, it gets too much to bear and can end in tears, even though you mean well and don't want to offend.

 

I made a decision not only to live far away, but also never to visit. The wife goes to see them on her own twice a year and every once in a while I invite the immediate family (three people) to stay at my house for a short visit. This is a good option if you have room. Or else rent a guesthouse close by. They fly and get pampered while here and they love it. Meanwhile I sleep in comfort and can get away and do my own thing while they are here. And it costs me less at the end of the day.

 

 

Are you sure that you live in the right country ?

I can fully understand where the OP is coming from, why take time and spend money on a visit to the boondocks only to probably not be able to communicate or be a close part of the gathering. It’s also possible that your wife. Understands.

Being realistic, you married your wife, not her family and those who see you as a provider will just have to swallow their disappointment that you did not attend.

Stay at home and send a goodies box up with your wife.

After being married to a Thai for 10 years, one should be able to communicate in her language ???
To visit her family from time to time would be something like showing respect ???
If they live "up North" this might be around Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai ?
Not such bad places to visit and stroll around.
...and most people in the North are quite civilised meanwhile, no danger.
...your beers you can buy there too !

Correct

Just many times they do not let you do a visa run at Mae Sai.
Looks like you have to get there on a lucky day...

Looks like a brand new  CB150R !   she hit her head on the road quite hard,  how the hell she didn't see the barriers ?  

Her new mobile didn't have the "dangerous barriers on your way App".
So not her fault 

Slam the authorities? Do they own the shark?
Officials/politicians give help? 
Photo shots are done - job done !
But: Would there be any country where a government would pay his bills? Don't think so.

There must be more to this story, for someone to cause such a fuss can be only 3 things. Mentally unstable, on drugs/alcohol or he knows these people.

I vote for the 1st. + last possibilities.

they seem too. a lot of africans working as english teachers in the sticks. really dodgy but i guess they only have to pay them 25k and that's pretty much impossible to live on so they must be up to something else

These guys entered the country illegal.
I wonder how a school can employ somebody without the right visa.
Does any official check anything about this business ?

Poor unfortunate woman, traveling along then bang shes dead.

All because phone/ internet companies employees are too damn lazy to set the cables at the correct height, wich is a minimum of 5 mtrs.

R.I.P. young lady too young to die.

Cables should be up 5 meters and freights should be lower then 5 meters.
"dawn lazy" AND stupid employees at work, just watch them for some minutes... 

Put the Omani's in jail and pay the Africans a reward for the magic show...

"Also if the so called medics where probly trained  they could have resusitated the person with just better training.Nobody needs to die from drowning if caught quickly enough."

And here is the reason the victim died............

The member of the public had decided to take the victim in his own transport and meet the ambulance at an agreed spot. But due to the delayed ambulance the meeting was not kept - and the victim died before the ambulance could get to there to give help.

No blame to the ambulance crew, medics, they never even got close to the victim.....until they were dead.

Go to a waterfall.
There is always somebody to collect an entrance fee, collect money for parking...
But i have never seen medics or an ambulance car set up there for the safety of the paying guests.
Maybe they could spend some of the collected money for this ?

Well too late now , he got away according to the FB-group this was reported in . He is on his way back to India. 

 

He is a US citizen but lives in India and his visa expired today . So they just sent him back to India.  Not sure if he paid the police or not

 

 

 

 

Looks like you are one of a few here that read the whole story before spitting poison.
Thank you.

Looks like a drunk, senile, obnoxious low-life. Plenty of them around. Lock him up a few months, make him pay a massive fine to a kids-charity and deport him with full report sent to authorities in his homeland. Pai is quite a nice and quiet place. Wonder if he is a known resident? MS>

Pai seems to be a magnet for strange individuals of any kind as well ...

Unfortunately he will walk away , only evidence they have is he tried to hug or kiss the girl . What is the penalty for flashing their privates in Thailand ?  

 

If this was the US he would be arrested on the spot and sent to prison . 

 

Pai is not part of your USA so far.

Seems to have more of an alcoholism and mental health problem than a pedo problem. Of course he has invited police attention but don't jump to conclusions about how dangerous he is. He seems more dangerous to himself than anything. 

It's anything then ok what he did, but:
For my oppinion not fair to the drunk and probably a bit mentaly disordered guy to shout out that he's a pedo.
As I read in daddy's post on fb, he left the country already bcoz his visa was finished.
Daddy started a "hang him high"- campaign ! A bit over the top ???

Mate, she needs flogging at the post!

How? I mean, How can you not see a motorbike in the middle of your path?

It's not like it came in from an obscure angle. It was sat there the whole time, in clear view of all but the totally blind.

Maybe her guide dog was at the wheel?

Might even have been him who came running to the scene, to see if he should leave town quickly.

How cannot see:
1. eyes on her mobile phone - others can stop and get out of her way (If she doesn't come from behind)
2. too short for this big car - cannot see what happens aroud
3. stupid and careless - pockets full of money, so no need to care about a motorbike anyway
Just my thoughts so far...

Maybe its time for all ambulances to be fitted with missile launchers....Nothing else seems to get the message across.

Send the license number to the cops and they block the car for a month.
Invite the moron driver to assist in an ambulance car for several days/nights.

It sounds like the airport needs some safe zone/comfort rooms for offended and stressed people. Maybe equipped with cuddly toys and anger management dolls.

Do the other staff have any other work options?

 

Are some of them Thai and therefore difficult to move to other jobs?

 

Can the local staff fairly easily find jobs in other restaurants?

 

Why? Try to carefully calm her down to ensure the staff stay until the deal is totally finished, from there every man for himself.

 

 

Do you really think such a dragon will care about this when she's the boss ?

Not until she's alone without staff !
SHE is the BOSS !!!
