  1. Why are you confused? What's confusing you? or are you just being silly?
  2. Sometimes it's not returned, and/or engagement is avoided for one specific reason: - The Thai person can't speak English (no judement intended), and they avoid engagement because they fear the foreigner will speak English to them and they can't respond and they will lose face. So avoid engagement. Not rude, just normal human behavior. An extension of this, I speak pretty good Thai, several times I've spoken to shop (and other) people in polite Thai and contact avoided, so I ask again politely - more avoidance. Then my Thai son (his face is more Thai than foreign) says politely, in Thai 'My dad is speaking to you in pasa Thai'. Then a second later the penny drops and a two way conversation starts.
  3. Maybe it's all online with very fast access by using a fast overall search facility, set up for the most efficient fast use by hospitals, insurance companies and anybody interested.
  4. But: - Is 'negotiation' available to a convicted and sentenced to jail person? He did have the option of challening his convictions but didn't exercise that right. - If the answer is YES then surely 'negotuation' should be available to any convicted persons? - If the above is true then this makes the proper well established proces of the law a sham, and not acceptable.
  5. Perhaps you should all my posts...
  6. And in his view entitled to special treatment. I wonder what his and his family's thoughts (especially his wanna be prime minister daughter) are on 'nobody is above the law!
  7. Same... seems to me there's a lot more that we don't yet know about.
  8. Sorry wrong, he disliked foreigners and made no attempt to change/adjust the severe negatives imposed on foreigners by his right hand man Purachai.
  9. Please read all my posts.
  10. Here we go, don't try to bait me, I don't play that game.
  11. I'm not trying to deny anything. Yes I have a few times been to girlie bars, in most/all cases because we had engineers or similar visiting on special assignments and they were curious to go to a girlie/escort bar. They always stayed at 4/5 star hotels in Pattaya and it wouldn't surprise me if they went back to 'make a purchase', and that's their business totally, not my business at all.
  12. I haven't mentioned bar scene, that's just your assumption, made with no knowledge of me.
  13. I lived in Sth. Pattaya for about 5 years when I worked on the Eastern seaboard. Over 5 years i observed a lot of places/situations etc. I'm not suggesting every farang living in Pattaya should be classified as 'cesspit'. And there are good farangs living in Pattay (good, what does that mean?), but also plenty of farang who I wouldn't allow to come into my house.
  14. Is this meaning Christian fellowship / bible study groups, etc?
  15. And maybe crocodile, and heaven forbid, gunja leaves!
  16. My Thai son's buddy has a female child who has had many, some serious, medical issues since birth. Many stays in hospital 2 days - 10 days. Many tests and scans. About 1 yr back (girl was 2 yrs old) my son suggested to his buddy to get health insurance for the girl. Progressively he applied to 3 insurance companies (all international companies), they all refused to issue a policy. He asked on each occasion why, with no hesitation all 3 shared they had analysed the girls past medical history.
  17. 'Cesspit', true. Not even remotely like real Thailand.
  18. And very risky, there's always a good chance someone will see the man with his mistress etc.
  19. Scripted like reality shows in all countries.
  20. I removed my name from the voting roll decades ago. No drama to remove my name, subject has never come up again.
