Probably because he only had one to start with. Do read the threads.
 
Actually, kudos to the pilot, engine failure over tiger country, a controlled descent into trees, allowing trees to dissipate energy, all only minor injuries.
Respect

Wonder why it couldn't finish the flight on one engine unless it failed right on rotation which would be problematic even for modern air craft

Why is it EVERY month there are articles like this ("Record highs in hotel occupancy," "Most travelers EVER") yet everyone I know in the hotel business tells me otherwise?

Dr. Dave:  I spent six years visiting (living) in all of CA and most of SA, finally settling in Roatan.  I built a house on the beach near French Harbor (in my name) and really enjoyed it in the beginning.  There were plenty of available young women who only asked for something to drink and eat, and the locals and expats were friendly.  Security became a problem when three of my neighbors (expats) were killed, my maid and security guards robbed my house, and the police kept extorting money from me wherever I went.  It was a wonderful adventure if you ignore those negatives, but it all just became too much for me. You see, the criminals all take the ferry over from the mainland, do their thing, and then return on the ferry.  If you want to live in Roatan then my advice would be to live in West Bay, which is quite expensive now, but heavily guarded.  After three years there, I sat in the Yacht Club one day and asked a few of my trusted, well-travelled buddies where they would live that was safe, reasonable COL, and plenty of available young women.  Can you guess the answer (starts with a T)?

Fair observation by cops. It "looks" like suicide. I would have closed the case right there only because it's Pattaya and so predictable usually the same 3 triggers, bar girl, alcoholic running out of money

Next!

Gonna be hard to replace phi phi party life anywhere else in SEA. Looks like it's back home to mom and dad's for 6 months while he looks for a real job [emoji16]

Can't just keep expanding forever and incinerator, is that the solution.. What about the smog problem

Rich expats in Thailand go back to their home country for an operation, the same as rich expats in Vietnam do. 

 

Have you ever been to Vietnam?  Their infrastructure is fine, and there is plenty of western convenience. I fine the infrastructure in Vietnam better than Thailand's in many respects.

 

What lifestyle does Thailand offer that Vietnam doesn't?  Climate is the same.  Vietnam has a long coastline of beaches.  Nightlife is similar.  Food is good.  

"I fine the infrastructure in Vietnam better than Thailand's in many respects."

In what way?

Why is it so hard for you to accept that people leave Thailand for greener pastures?

Don't they have any TAT people to "fix" that?

economics 101. increase price to $50 make up for shortfall

When was the last time a pm did a full term? I peg the oil changes in my car based on a new pm, easier to remember that way

Indeed.

 

But then there are many stupid,cheap shot posters on the internet.

 

I often wonder whether the internet exists wholy and solely for them.

Like  Lady GaGA said on a recent interview ...social media is the toilet of the internet

Lack of details probably means this is suicide or accidental OD RIP

Sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and sausages. The sauerkraut and mash are imports from the last trip back home. Sausage are Thai ones from Big C in a vacuum pack, flavors chili paste and garlic.

You seem to think a desirable area is in a big city near a BTS.

That isn't my idea of a desirable area, I like peace and quiet near mountains and rice fields, where all the local middle class Thais live. I've never lived more than 12Km from CM centre.

Living around rice fields surrounded by mountains says it all. I think you paid to much ????

I read on here that any contract can be terminated once you give 3O days noticed.

  I just read it again lately as someone had "liked" a comment I made on it which was ..."what's the point then of having contracts for more than 30 days"?

There are conditions attached to that . Otherwise like you said it would be pointless

There was a mom and pop store 50m from the house, 7-11 was about 300m further.

In a desirable area? You dodged that one .. The question isn't whether you can get 5k rent and probably even 3k a 100 miles from CM center.

Fact is anything in the center in a nice area is going to be a complete DUMP!

I rented a very nice 2 bed house near Chiang Mai for 5000bht/month. Aircon, water heater nice garden with mango trees.

Sorry, but you appear to have no idea about normal rental prices in Thailand.

In a desirable area? or in a mooban where you need to drive to get to a 7/11

Of course there are 5k rentals , The further from the center the cheaper. You can get a descent 5k room in bangkok 45 mins drive from lower sukhumvit and no BTS in sight

My apologies, I didn't mean to put you out.

Sure choose a taper based on an internet stranger. Doesnt sound like a good idea but ..up to you

"culd she buy Buspar or Tefranil OTC in Thailand?"

Why would her doctor recommend it if you couldn't buy it? I would go with what her doctor tells her to do.

And a doctor telling her to go cold turkey is just nonsense 

Why would you ask here when there are countless links on tapering on google

Bin Poopyface started out ok but has steadily grown angry as the thread develops. Clearly he came here seeking justification for his bad choice and hoping the bashers jump on board. Well even they are not so stupid as to make a serious comparison to Thailand.

I hope OP finds whatever he is looking for but its obviously not a partner. The odds are so slim its highly unlikely, Shame he didn't do his due diligence before leaving Thailand he could have saved a lot of heart ache

If you read back through your posts I think you will see it was yourself that has been fixated upon the availability of women, indeed quoting a number of statistics on the matter. Where as most others were discussing Malaysia in general.
Again your final short paragraph here is entirely about "hookers" and attractiveness of women.
Question what you like and quote what you like, the fact is that the vast majority of Thai women that interact with foreigners in Thailand do so because it is their chosen career. You could most likely apply that statement to Malaysia also, given the fact that a large proportion that sell personal services in and around Asia are infact Thai women.
