You got me, but, In fairness, i could say, that there were no pick-ups around in the buddha's day so one would expect a lack of guidance in that respect, As regards rape and murder a cynic might say that some of those could be due to less educated devotees following some of the examples set by less desirable members of the clergy But you're absolutely right i simply forgot

Anti vaxxers = Schoolboy like behaviour= Uneducated .. Fascinating I think I'm onto something here

Bigoted comment Not lacking in irony But at least you took the trouble to write it in english

I'm guessing for anybody who knows anything about psychology and linguistics, this sort of bizarre attempt at an insult must be absolutely fascinating on several levels. The word "anti vaxxer" is evolving before our very eyes tonight on this forum. From a word invented, by those in a blind panic, and intended as a pejorative for people who made a decision not to have something they didn't want, injected into their arms, to a general insult to be thrown at anybody regardless of their vaccination status or views thereon A lot of covid inquiries going on at the moment and a lot of revelations are being made , the truth is beginning to emerge, another few months and "anti vaxxer's" usefulness as an insult may well be diminished

Thailand is the land of fakes, I doubt the guys on the door really care, as long as they are seen to have asked for ID there is little else they can do. the police aren't really that bothered about it either it to be honest, Its something they home in on now and again, like crash helmets on motorbikes, where I live its the last thursday of each month with often additional checks prior to Songkran and new year

They might throw that at her if she's found to be lying The club is unlikely to lose their licence on account of one underage customer, anyway I'm sure you know how it works here . the club will have been paying "insurance" since it opened

missis seems to think she had fake ID A photo of her ID card on her phone ( of course) with the D.O.B. altered, take that as unconfirmed though

I guess that's how a diplomat would describe things, One in particular is downright hostile, whilst others, Chong Chom / O'smach for example, are actually quite friendly, 300 baht to come straight back , think of it as a tip

That's what you get from google translate lol should have been "anonymous" surely

Not much to go off in the OP So It will be interesting to see what verdict the TVF hang' em high brigade arrive at. I have no feelings either way as to who's telling the truth,and I couldn't care less personally, My missus has been taking a bit of an interest in it all, on TV and "social media" (of course) she's of the opinion that the girl involved is telling porkies and only involved the police as her blackmail plans were not working out. stranger things have happened The lengthy news coverage implies to me that its not exactly an open and shut case, If he is proved to be guilty he could be facing a lengthy prison sentence, as of course is only right and proper But if the opposite is proved to be true and her allegations were indeed all lies, then she should face an identical sentence, and of course be publicly named and shamed along with anybody else involved Unfortunately even if he is exonerated his reputation will suffer irreparably for a long time, as accusations like this leave a stain that is very difficult to remove. Is it right to reveal his Identity before the case has been concluded ? Personally I say No

Good post AddyA lets not forget that many of those critical thinkers were rewarded with suspensions for there efforts. The word "anti vaxxer" won't be going away anytime soon, as it now appears to be metamorphosing into a general insult , an example of this can be seen in a currently running thread about a foreigner defecating on the pavement outside a shop in Ubon Ratchathani (seriously I kid you not!) There are no anti-vaxxers any more, there are just people who chose not to receive it, and are no worse off for making that decision, Those screaming "Anti vaxxer" these days are just a few of those who now regret having allowed themselves to be used as guinea pigs in a worldwide experiment, and are understandably jealous of those who stood their ground As far as I remember there was hardly any mention of the natural immunity received from having contracted and recovered from Covid, no, no, no only the Vax would (allegedly) protect you from catching it and only the vax would stop you from passing it on, (doesn't even make sense). The natural immunity and or antibodies one received as a result of having had the virus, strangely counted for nothing, one had to be jabbed, again and again and again, some "experts" were suggesting everybody being jabbed every 6 months. Starting at 6 months old ! and how did we end up with so many different vaccines anyway ? Something's not right there either, the Astra Zeneca vaccine is now virtually banned! that must be very comforting for those who received it There must be a lot of people who are, understandably, quite embarrassed at the way they behaved and the things they said and did during the covid situation . I personally deeply regret allowing myself to be injected 3 times, but at the time the loss of personal liberties that we were threatened with was something I could not accept One poster on here created almost a full time job for himself, not sure if he had a work permit, but he must have been almost permanently glued to his laptop for the best part of 3 years, obsessively posting charts and statistics of infections and death rates almost daily, to ramp up the fear amongst the english speaking community, Since when did anybody have such trust and faith in facts and figures produced by government. The actions of a rational man? or the actions of one consumed by fear and panic (as a result of believing all those government figures) He's conspicuously absent on this thread. Thankfully I feel that the days of lauding those who encouraged fear and hysteria, and vilifying anybody who dared to question the narrative are behind us,,,,,,,,,,until the next time, which, if unelected organisations like the WHO have their way , will be sooner rather than later

Strangely on a thread about lamb, there has been no mention of mint sauce

The second part of the above quote certainly seems to have upset a few on here for some reason, but as far as generalisations go , its not that far off the mark. Its probably a bit different in the predominantly muslim southern provinces, but I've never been there so I wouldn't know. Now as to the first part of the above quote... I have not met many Thais , except perhaps a few monks, who allow their "Buddhist beliefs", to interfere with their day to day activities, Materialism, Ostentatious displays of wealth, Lying, Sexual misconduct, Abuse of alcohol, and Xenophobia being just a few examples, To be honest I have no issues with that. And before the pedants start on me .... No I have obviously not met, or spoken to, every Thai national on the planet, and doubtless there are exceptions, but again as a generalisation it's not far off the mark

virtually impossible to say from the photo but I would say it was probably one of the above, I would put money on it

Why those who do not use agents feel the need to stick their nose into other peoples business is a mystery to me. Shortcuts are there to be taken after all

I'm guessing the OP must be referring to the multi entry Non O based on retirement, ( or marriage) which is the only visa I know of that could allow 15 months, if used carefully. It has certainly been removed from the UK e visa website, and many others according to recent reports, apparently the marriage version is still available from Savannakhet. Personally I have never used an agent, but I have no issues whatsoever with anybody who does, for whatever reason. I cannot understand why anybody posting on this forum objects to others using an agent, It really isn't any of their business. Do agents even have any influence regarding visa applications made in foreign countries, its not something I ever thought about before but I would be interested to know the answer As for the objectors, why not just get a life and mind your own business

Bill Gates should have been told to STFU since day 1 Not quite sure why a computer geek, who just got lucky, was allowed to interfere

None of the above would happen if the illegals were not allowed to remain, How many genuine Thai wives are working in brothels, ? How many genuine Thai wives arrived in the back of a wagon or on a small boat?

Good for you , A shining beacon of morality to us all. I have had enough now, if you need to have the last word, go for it, I won't reply

Ah claiming the moral high ground, but we all know why you came here, and it wasn't for the temples

Thought as much!

The welsh invented it, I doubt sheep were indigenous to New Zealand

Any where near Dover by any chance ?

Like I said , we are not all used to your level of luxury

Absolutely correct
