simply swap "lucky" for "could have been a lot worse! " has that helped you ?

Well that would depend on who one was.

And don't forget the chinese, Their consulate must be busy

So the number of Brits increases and they are somewhat surprised that their workload has increased proportionally ....amazing They could always consider upping their resources, there's a novel idea, and they could hire a few diversity consultants just to be safe

its hardly the job of the consulate to explain the obvious to idiots but i do agree the staff are useless

brilliantly spotted

Duh! Try watching the Thai news occasionally , plenty of law enforcement among Thais

unbelievable to anyone who has never been here , I live out in the sticks plenty of unlit roads and still they do it kids and adults alike. God I'd hate to think of the consequences of killing one.

he was more than a porn star he was a producer too some of his videos were hilarious. Later he became very litigious in an attempt to protect his production style from being copied

so what do they go for? to walk their dogs? get real

"quality expats"

but you should really see the large one

most people would consider prolonged staring somewhat impolite and to be honest just plain weird.

indeed they do , they even struggle not to whinge about it on here regularly, the same people every time

35 in the UK last time I checked

"Scot"? surely you mean welshman

i know quite a few "poor " Thais, None of them survive off 7/11 ready meals

I am not sure if she actually lied or if she just hasn't a clue what she's doing, probably both
