I worked in law enforcement for a number of years and been to quite a few countries. Tell me what other Asian countries have the amount of daily news filled with violence like Thailand or don't/can't you read what's going on here?

There is something seriously wrong with these people. Day in and day out, acts of violence against the young the old, mothers/fathers other relatives, basically anyone is commonplace here. No respect for life or the law and something that is not routinely seen in other countries. Hardly lives up to the name Land of Smiles which is a misnomer to begin with.

Get a couple of vicious dogs, find a large cage and put this ahole in with them. End of story.

By saying "most here have never been there" implies you likely have and know others who have been to Kaews as well so not a very helpful reply to what I asked. Seriously, what does this say about the expats in Roi Et if after over 330 views not a single person can answer my simple question. Tells me there are not many happy (nor helpful) souls living here which is pretty sad when you think about it. Fortunately, I'm only here for a brief stay but I do hope the rest of you get out a little more and maybe become a little more sociable as well. Adios.

181 views ,which must include a majority of people from Roi Et, and not a single person can provide an answer as to what happened to Keaws restaurant? Do any of you ever leave the house?

Went by Keaws restaurant the other day and it was closed, Not sure of the name of the road it was on but it was next to another small restaurant across from a river and both had pool tables. Does anyone know if they reopened somewhere else and where it's located? Thanks

Anyone who still supports Trump and what he's doing at the very least needs a lobotomy. He's an arrogant, egotistical, crooked and just plain stupid fascist who will go down as the worst US president in history. If anyone had basic level intelligence and knew how to do some basic research on him, they would understand just what a low-life he is, but I guess that would be asking too much. In any case, I doubt he will make it to the end of his term, nor will the country. Good riddance to both I say and the sooner the better.

Need a separate permanent topic "Brits gone wild"

Anyone keeping count of which country the most crazies are coming from? Wasn't sure before but seems to be a clear winner emerging and on a regular basis from watching the news.

This is getting too common as another nitwit Brit is caught acting like a complete out of control moron and endangering the local public. The more these incidents happen the more negative attitudes the locals will have on expats in general, so these crazies need to be arrested, spend some time in the pokey and then sent back to where they come from. End of story.

These are all self-inflcted wounds and they are not going to be fixed by the lunatics in charge of the country. First the US dismantled it's manufacturing base, became dependent on other countries to supply the goods they once made and now think they can reverse this and go back to where they were 30 plus years ago. Not going to happen. Before this year is over, the US will be in total turmoil as other countries isolate it and find more secure options as they unite against a now bankrupt, dysfunctional "world power". As the West goes down the East will rise. End of story.

So would a T shirt with America's Lex Luther behind bars be ok?

Interesting how Israel ranks high at number 8 and the country of Palestine is not even listed. If it was it would be last below Afghanistan.

Just more proof the Russians have serious competition for the claim of dumbest foreigner in Thailand.

Read again what I said and do a little research before contradicting someone's post. Or doesn't history and the facts matter to you?

They were banned by multiple countries in the past and it's time to start banning them again. They should be isolated from the rest of the world but they control Trump and others like him so they get to do whatever they want including the genocide of women and children with no recourse. Horrible world and it's only going to get worse.

You're joking, right?

Your avatar says it all so why don't you go back to where you came from instead of criticizing someone who has compassion for animals unlike yourself. Unfortunately, people like you also breed which is the main reason the world is as screwed up as it is.

There is something seriously wrong with many of these locals and all you need to do is watch the news for a week or two. They can be overly aggressive and it doesn't take much to set them off. Young and old often don't respect others including family, fear the law or the repercussions of their actions. Add the fact the roads are death traps and it changes the Land of Smiles to something less pleasant very quickly. IMHO, this is not somewhere you want to be if the economy takes a downturn as crime and violence could make this a very unsafe place to visit or call home, Time to seriously think of other options and do it sooner rather than later.

The verifiable oldest person to have ever lived was 122 years old and the second oldest was 119. I seriously doubt she made it to 121 and unlikely there is any way to prove how actually old she was when she died. Still lived a long life compared to most.

Simple, the dog gets put down and the owner goes to jail. Enough of these killer dogs and irresponsible owners who think nothing about it when someone is brutally killed which is becoming a regular event. Instead, there may be a fine and they may have to find a new home for the poor dog. Wonderful.

Either your joking or you're an idiot or maybe both

It looks to me like he signed a document where he admitted he was planning to defraud the insurance company otherwise there is no other proof of a crime from what I read. If he signed a document he didn't understand then he made a serious mistake and now he is paying for it. I personally know other expats who did the same and ended up on the other side of the law. Bottom line is never ever sign your name to anything you don't understand no matter if you're being coerced to do so because it will never end well. In any event, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The outcome of the coming US election is up in the air and will be decided by the power elite/technocrats who are the ones actually in charge. It makes no difference who wins as the objective is to create civil unrest, which among several other events, will lead to the collapse of the country along with a number of other Western countries who are being targetted such as the UK. In this part of the world, Thailand also has significant problems that are becoming more obvious by the day and will not be easily resolved. Bottom line, it is going to become very difficult in the near future to find a safe haven, if that is even possible to begin with as things get progressively worse worldwide.

The verdict/sentence will depend on how much money the idiot has and will decide whether or not he gets to stay in Thailand. If it was up to me, I would send his dumbass back to where he came from as there is no excuse for putting your hands on, never mind kicking, a female in Thailand or anywhere else.
