Red Forever

You're being ripped off. 18 months ago I went to Doctor Sima in Ubon who diagnosed a cataract. He said come back next week and gave me eye drops to be applied for at least 8 hrs before op. Operation took 15 minutes. Returned week later for check up, all in order. Price: 25,500 baht. So call it 50k for 2 eyes. However, eye surgeons will never operate on both eyes of a patient on the same day so it looks like 2 separate procedures. Whichever way you look at it, it's a rip off.

And Trump isn't "deluded"? At least Biden knows who won the 2020 US election. Trump thought that he (Trump) beat Obama in 2016. Jeez.

Stop digging. You really are looking silly now.

At least 2 posters have swallowed the UK government's deliberate policy of conflating immigration and lack of housing. This is, of course, tosh. The immigration fiasco is unarguably the result of 13 years of Tory Home Office mismanagement. However, the lack of housing, crisis in NHS etc is as a direct result of Tory Central Government underfunding services and saying "look there's another dinghy!" Sunak gave the game away when addressing a Tory group in Tunbridge Wells saying [we know that Labour controlled local authorities are aiming resources at poor, deprived areas. This, we intend to stop]. Sez it all, dunnit?

I've tried (unsuccessfully) to to block this boring guy from my newsfeed.

I hope that you're not teaching my daughter English. If indeed you are a teacher which, judging by your grammar, I doubt. I call your comment b.s.

"freedom of expression"?! These cuddly yellow shirts led by Suthep and his armed thugs resulted in cancelling of elections and 9 years of the junta. I was in Bangkok when this anti-democratic mob were finally ejected from Lumpini Park leaving behind a cache of weapons. "freedom of expression"? My Bottom!

What will the sad obsessives in the Thaksin hate mob do when AN. stops their supply of red meat?

To feed red meat to the hate mob Brian.

"Think about it"? The gammon hate mob on here are hard of thinking.

Get well soon Khun Thaksin.

Disgusting "journalism". This poor woman is rightly mad with the loss of her pets but to weave the word "barking" into this sad story is just cheap.

"Pukhet Pattaya far better to live"? Blimey, that's a low bar to clear.

This right wing swivel eyed loon got 23% of the vote. Come on people: Some perspective maybe?

"undisclosed airport"?

This guy is really annoying. He popped up in my newsfeed. Had to block him.

Most local markets have cotton boxers on sale for 60-70 bt a pair. S-M-L-XL-XXL.

Perfectly doable if at night or early morning. I did the reverse trip the other week: BKK-DMK in 30 minutes. Taxi fare was 390baht. Fee

The most successful farang in Pattaya is the guy who keeps his head down, doesn't draw attention to himself, keeps his visa and bank affairs in order whilst enjoying the reasonable cost of living and good climate.

Dunno if you're a Brit OMF but I can give you 20 reasons why the death penalty (in UK ) must never slither back into our lives: Guildford 4, Birmingham 6, McGuire 8, Barry George. All of these innocents would be dead because of the lies and corruption of West Midlands and Metropolitan Police. Add to the above incontrovertible facts that when the death penalty was an option juries were sometimes reluctant to deliver guilty verdicts in murder trials and went for guilty on less serious charges resulting in the accused doing short time or being freed to commit further crimes. Now that's what you call a paradox.

Yawn....

Ban these dangerous killing machines driven by airheads. Jet skis, that is.

Can I mention a water bill scam? A few months ago the lady came round to read our water meter. I heard my partner querying it and sure enough it was 100+baht higher than it should have been. I looked at the bill and told my partner to wait . I went indoors and found the previous month's bill and meter reading and showed the collector this thereby proving that she had overcharged by 20+ units. I told partner to pay her the correct amount. The collector knew she'd been rumbled and gave wais and "kor tort". I made sure that all villagers were made aware of this theft. BTW I'm the only farang in the village so it would have been easy to assume that it was a "farang can afford it" scam but it turns out that she was scamming her own villagers.

That photo was actually "leaked" 2 years ago. Still, you and the rest of the hate mob scoffed up the red meat as usual. Yawn ....

Jeez, this group are screaming out for attention. Have they no other more important windmills to tilt at?
