  1. Why not crush the driver? Problem solved. I love the comments from posters who are obviously from a country where freedoms of choice have been eroded to the point they normalise the harshest of punishments. Tax! Jail! Crush! Seems to be the only responses they can come up with.
  2. The closest point from Australia to Bangkok is about 2700 km. Christmas Island is Australian Territory. Seems you don't know much geography either. Your low intelligence is well known,proven and doesn't require further comment.
  3. Send him 10,000 baht by western union.
  4. I can pretty well guarantee you are paying one way or another That's how banks work. Nothing is free.
  5. Oh god, not another Schwab gives me all money back to my Thai Chinese wife's bank account post.
  6. So she you took you for a lot. And you now feel it is important to share your experiences with everyone else. No worries, it happens to a lot of suckers. Seems to be the 50 plus contingent from the UK with little real life experiences.
  7. They basically said you are a tourist not a resident. Next time I had a non o 90 day visa....no problem.
  8. They laughed at me at Surin immigration . Said no chance on a tourist visa. Come back with a long term visa. My experience.
  9. Blah blah blah... This is Thailand not the USA. It will change when the Thai people demand change. Not whining farangs.
  10. Stick your head up yer bum and fight for breath. Put us all out of your misery.
  11. You are thick aren't you? Nothing will change until the Thai people want change. Whinge,whine, and say what you want. Until the Thai people want change nothing will happen. But hey, knock yourself out, or go blue in the face holding your breath waiting for change, it won't happen until the Thai people want it. I've said it three times. Do you understand yet?
  12. Go in Thailand, balls and all, you have the fire power to take out Hun Sen and the last vestiges of the Khmer Rouge. Send a message to China and bring back Sam Rainsey and return Cambodia to the beautiful country it used to be.
  13. The concerning part is the Japanese Johns who paid for the service. More investigation is needed as there seems to be a market for this service.
  14. Six months?? That's twice as long as the ear medicine powered Chalerm used to promise. May need to up the meds. He could fix everything in 90 days.
  15. You seem very interested in Cameroni's adventures. And very bitter. I wonder how much the Thai girl took you for.
  16. Sounds like any Democrat/ Labour/ Labor leader anywhere.
  17. Apart from ordering the army to open fire on students.
  18. In my experience, yes they do move on. It is a very different culture to the west. If it wasn't things would change. But it's not. I spent quite a few years in Myanmar/ Burma and it's the same there. Death is no big deal. Sorry and sad that you have gone but you'll come back.
  19. After twenty years in Thailand you must have noticed the culture. Death is not same as in the west. Sure it's upsetting, for a short time, but culturally it's not that big of a deal. The belief in reincarnation is very strong. I do actually live on an island. On my first visit to Thailand I was having dinner with some people who became very good friends. This was in Isaan on a country road with few houses around. A couple of ambulances went past, lights and sirens. It grabbed my attention but the people I was with just shrugged their shoulders and said young men on motorbikes. Three killed as I understand it. No amount of laws are going to stop young men doing what they do. It certainly didn't stop me and thankfully I survived. Simply impossible to have police everywhere,all the time. If you think otherwise you are deluded.
