I really can not believe the idiotic topics and questions put up on here. Buy a room air conditioner. Duh. They sell portable ones you can take with you when you move.

Hang yourself by the road side? Who does that. Drugs, way to many beers and a bar girl in there somewhere.. It's a guess

27 way to young RIP

The headline is a mum thing and you can't blame her for making him look good ahead of the inevitable go fund me.
I feel sorry for him, he wasn't in a jet ski accident or no Helmut scooter.
But those symptoms do you really just wake up one day without any warning and you can't walk?

Doesn't sound right.

Just wait until big joke trips over the TV forums lol.. Gonna be some knee trembling behind keyboards.!

 
You political correctness makes you blind for realities in Thailand.
 
Far from painting everyone with the same brush, OP says a large part of Thai population dislikes thinking things through, and what he means with that is that this behavior is more widespread in Thailand than in Western societies.
And this is totally true !
 
The Thai education system and traditions explain a large part of the problem, as other posters pointed out.
Many lower class Thais are indoctrinated to not think.
 

Tourism from Europe is down. However, Massive influx of Chinese tourists who want to experience a change from their sterile cities. The sad scenario though is the Junta are destroying the street culture, the vibrancy of the city that many come to Bangkok for.

Destroy tourism and the Thai economy would collapse.

Why try to fix something that works?

That could be said for most hubs. Fly to Paris stay 5 days and then off to somewhere else.

Why do you think bangkok is special? 3 years in a row and 10% growth forecast this year, not by TAT but mastercard. TAT AND mastercard are about the same in predictions. Much to the disgust of TV posters but you just gotta Suck it up boys next year will be 4 in a row!!

Headline should read "Bangkok top transit destination in the world last year" especially for tourists holidaying in other Asian countries. Maybe spend a few days in Bangkok and then move on to less garbage ridden and safer destinations.
Apart from transit passengers take out the 27% Chinese zero dollar tourist invasion and Bangkok would be well down the list. 

Oh dear. It's the uneducated thais that say that "think to much 'Given that the majority of farang have married into village girls or associate with bar girls etc.

You really think the higher class we'll educated in a high profile career would say you tink to mut?

There is more to Thailand than isaan or isaan exports

When buying any assets in a Thai name it automatically becomes theirs.remember the old saying possession is 9/10ths of the law.well here it's 100% and a good chance of never seeing it again.having the brother in law have assets in his name would be mental torture for him as he would want to get his hands on his new found fortune with the only thing in the way being an old farang with mega bucks.remember the saying in Thailand always make sure your worth more alive than dead.

You can't expect a customer to put on a helmet with bugs and lice in it.  So what to do?  Are the paying riders supposed to carry their own helmet?

60 years of this organised crime syndicate being in charge by the barrel of the gun, time for a longlasting revolution. Once the next financial crisis hits,it will ignite a new round of protests against these murderers which will grow into yhe destruction of the 'junta'

Be life without parole just about anywhere else.

psyllium husk.

Good karma health store in phuket will post it via EMS.

One 600 baht bag will last for months

Wearing a helmet is 1 thing but it has to be locked as well and those helmets for under 1000 baht are of inferiour quality, they are not allowed in the EU....for safety reasons.
 
A good helmet costs around 20-30.000 baht in Thailand...it costs half of that in the EU online.

must count flying into the only intl airport of note as 'visiting'; and if they stay there more than just transiting out, then i count those travelers among the world's stupidest

"Bangkok was the world’s top destination last year, three years in a row, with 20.05 million people visiting the capital in 2017 and a 9.6% growth in number of visitors is predicted for this year, according to Mastercard’s Global Destinations Cities Index."

Now this is impressive. 9.6% growth this year.

Turns out TAT are on the ball

Visitors to Bangkok tend to stay 4.7 nights during their trips and spend, on average, US$173 aday, according to Mastercard.

Oh dear with all the bashers saying BKK is going down hill..

Lots remain unclear. Airbnb may legally be able to rent out hotel rooms, and condos
for a month long stay (or longer) but what about the more common 1-2 week rental.
I have read so many times (posted on my condo building notice board, and in the elevators) that
it is illegal to rent condos out for less than a month. This may not make Airbnb illegal
but it would make many of there rentals illegal.

There is a wee difference. In Los the geezer gets the Gf experience the effect being he loses his marbles and hands over a new house.

In the West they just clock watch... Way cheaper [emoji23]

Soo, what's your point? It's like you came up with some great revelation saying old guys in the west can't have 20 yr olds unless...…...unless they have money of course. The only difference is that in Thailand less money is required. There is no difference.

That's monkey abuse.. Will it work on soi dogs [emoji16]

 
Believe it or not the following works.
The difficult part is the first part.
Set up a trap cage and put food in it for a few days until the monkeys get used to it.
After they have no fear of it and go inside for the food set the trap.
When you catch one monkey inside spray it with a good few bright colours of harmless vegetable based dyes.
Let the monkey go.
It heads back to the troup and they run from it because it scares them. It doesn't know that so keeps trying to follow in a day or two they are a long way away and the dye fades out so they all end up happy somewhere else.

. Relax it was a genuine observation from the grass is green side

After all your still posting on TV so you havnt even cut the cord yet

I think you kinda just reinforced my point LOL
 
Thanks for that

Let's not forget the isaan wing nut ear / monster feet combo. I think I know how this happens but not gonna say it [emoji16]

Get back to us after 7 years where you are now

I think it’s one of those ‘bright shiny things’ that over time the shine wears off. And It builds up over time
 
I loved Thailand for the first 6-7 years, then it just began to irritate me, from driving, immigration, cost of living(which I don’t think is that cheap anymore), power going off after 2 claps of thunder. And the weather didn’t do it for me either, hot and sticky all the time wore on me.
 
Now I love going back for a few weeks vacation, it’s bright n shiny, again, but its a few weeks I  can get back the plane a leave before the absurdity of the place kicks back in.
 
The newbies, and the ones who cant afford to leave, love it and will defend it to the point of insanity.
But if you’re really lived for a long time, you kinda get it
