American expat escapes Thai jail time for scathing hotel review
Old story. Tripadvisor ended up publishing a warning about the resort. The sueing backfired spectacularly.

Thai widow swindled in romance scam by fake college director
Indeed. This woman was after the man's money. This time however the man was first to pull the trigger.

Thai widow swindled in romance scam by fake college director
Most women are "romance swindlers". They steal a man's money with the help of the family courts. It's called "love". It is legal and teenage girls learn about it in the media and at school. The kind of money involved is much more than a puny 50k Baht. On very rare occasions a man manages to steal from a woman. He then gets labelled a romance or marriage swindler and is liable for prosecution.

Red herring. Plastic is the problem.

How you use AC at night?
In every single condo I've rented there has been hitches with the aircon, like water leaking, aircon propeller stopping after 5 minutes ... That's one of the reasons I live in hotels two thirds of the time. In a hotel whenever there's any problem, I'm in another room in no time.

Sleeping only with the fan is ok as long as the outside night temperature stays below 28. So it depends on which time of the year. Has anyone ever had dry eye problems while sleeping with the ceiling fan? One of the things I love when being back in Europe for the European summer is living a life free of aircon.- Disabled Thai woman busted in Valentine’s Day Yaba crackdown
You wouldn't say that if she were a man of course. You would say "hang the bugger". What if she has DAUGHTERS who are not working? Should they be thrown in jail instead?- New Govt Tourist Insurance to Cover Deaths and Accidents
Except taxpayers elsewhere are insured under national insurance schemes.- Do women hit on you randomly in Thailand?
I get hit upon by women who are below my radar (too old, not hot). The hot ones I stare at ignore me. Same story the world over and for everybody.- Anybody know this spider?
The size of a human hand? Holy sh*t! I am arachnophobic.- The "Exodus" of European Farangs, The Trap.
Not true that elderly people in France were euthanized against their will. Quite the opposite, successive French governments have torpedoed any reasonable euthanasia bills. Infamous retirement homes are a reality. But selfish old people who don't want to die are also a problem. Bring children into this world who never asked to be born, then expect the latter to sacrifice their lives caring for the old who live to be a hundred thanks to alzheimer's. There are 2 sides of the coin. Parents are entitled to have a life, but so are the children they selfishly catapulted into this world.- Dengue Fever Vaccine
Apparently. However, some EU countries still do not recommend it for the non-previously infected. Reason: the older vaccine only proved to be catastrophic for the non-previously infected 3 years after being launched. When was this new vaccine launched?- LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
What is funny and unexpected is that it seems the 80k USD requirement is indeed 80k before tax. I worked from the beginning on the assumption it had to be after tax. I didn't even ask myself or anyone the question. It looked obvious. 80k before tax (and before alimony etc.) seemed absurd as it could as much mean "poor pensioner" as "wealthy pensioner".- Thailand’s sugar intake quadruples WHO daily limit causing health concerns
Never mind, cannabis is a national catastrophe, not sugar.- Possible hidden gem
Ok, reading your title I thought for a moment it was about Soi 6 Pattaya.- Bill Maher viciously roasts expats and expat destinations
Never married and himself a prostitute's client. Calling the women he pays for sex "whores". Not very nice.- Bill Maher viciously roasts expats and expat destinations
Little of what he says is funny. I was never a big fan of Maher but I gave him credit for being funnier than this. I also don't find John Cleese very funny any more. Comedians are overrated. They'll die out with television.- Thai soldier rapes his stepdaughter, mother forgives rapist
Coz "children can't consent etc. Children can't understand anything about sexuality. Their brains are not mature. Etc.- Thai soldier rapes his stepdaughter, mother forgives rapist
Yes you have. You've already posted 2 more posts.- Thai soldier rapes his stepdaughter, mother forgives rapist
I already hear the nearing thunder of male-lynching and soldier-bashing in the distance.- Dengue Fever Vaccine
Qdengua got okayed by the EU for people above 4 years of age. I'll get it. I'll say I am from Europe so never mind I am 65. The Thais love treating people differently on account of citizenship.- Dengue Fever Vaccine
One Dengue vaccine is only recommended for people who've had Dengue already, otherwise it does more harm than good.- 15 Vietnamese arrested for illegally working on cannabis farm in southern Thailand
The emphasis her is on "cannabis". If working in a cabbage farm, no headline.- Thailand in Crisis: Population plummets by 500k in 4 Years
I get myself in hot waters when I explain the way for countries to have expanding population is to tolerate intergenerational sex. I get call names for "defending pedofiles". What the hell are they talking about? I only found 2 meanings for pedofile: it's either a file for filing nails on you feet (toenails), or a file in which you keep data about feet (which foot has fungus, corns etc.). - How you use AC at night?
