2 hours ago, AhFarangJa said:I have an idea for the British Government. Ban all Thai people from owning land and property in UK unless they meet the same requirements as here. Also, all Thai businesses in UK must be 51% owned by Brits. I wonder what this Government would say then?
I think the UK government can use every penny it can get its hands on right now. Its own nationals can barely afford to buy property so why would it stop people with the means from doing so?
Protectionism is something that every country is guilty of to some degree so pick up your toys and stop whining. Unlike the UK, Thailand's not a first world economy with developed markets so allowing foreigners to bowl in buying up land from under ordinary Thais' feet would be unacceptable.- 2

Welcome to the cesspool of curmudgeonry that is Asean Now forum.
Mostly right wing dinosaurs who think their pensions account for half of Thailand's GDP.

Drop shiping is just being a parasite, is that what you do?
It is no different to being a middle man.

I've now been living back in the UK for almost 6 years, and my living expenses are similar to what they were in Thailand. I now pay £550 per month rent (all inclusive). When I last lived in Bangkok my rent was 24,000 Baht. I don't have to pay for healthcare in the UK
Talk about apples and oranges.
Lower Sukhumvit's equivalent in the UK would be something like the West End in London.24k in Lower Sukhumvit would be 120k+++ in the West End.
Healthcare in the UK is a postcode lottery; the quality of service you receive is almost entirely dependent upon where you live.If you're paying GBP550 pm to live in the UK, you're definitely not living in London or even the South East

And another dinosaur with preconceived ideas about how to generate income.

Couldn't go through more than the first 5 or 6 comments for all the negativity.
Typical guess-the-visa attitudes, assumptions that they've moved without considering education, healthcare . . . no wonder these forums are dying

Given they are not receiving a pension, and sun drenched villas are not cheap, one wonders how they are financing their "new life". One hope that he has a work permit for whatever it is.
PS, have they taken the cost of health care insurance into consideration? No NHS in LOS.
I don't "wonder" at all how they're financing their new life.
Perhaps you think this country is only for pension coffin dodgers.
They're young and, presumably, reasonably healthy and, if they have skills that are in demand here, none of the "points" you made will be an issue.

My friend in England sent a news clip with pictures of the rogues' gallery of rapists and freaks from his part of the country.
Most of them looked as one would expect a child groomer to look like (swart, heavily bearded,ugly) but this alabaster skinned weirdo jumped off the page and screamed "avatar material" at me 555
Almost all foreign pedos caught here hiding out or peddling kiddie porn are white males.
Run a search on Google using keyword "pedophile", "Thailand" and add "British",
"American" etc interchangeably.
Whenever i happen across a gammon bitching about grooming gangs, I produce a results page and they miraculously shut up.- 1

A native guy I knew back home wasn't fond of walking. He told me that his ancestors walked all the way over from China and that was good enough for him.
The subject of the article is dressed like an African migrant, not an American.

They should have an easier time getting a visa than farangs right now given we're at the center of much of all the recent foreign criminality in this country.
Swearing at and kicking a doctor in the back for moongazing on his steps
Hospitalizing an elderly Thai woman by a savage beating at a Big CA Brit arrested for sexually assaulting several of his students. He promptly fainted.
Assaulting a Thai police officer and causing his sidearm to be fired in the struggle.
Selling cocaine in Krabi and Phuket
Sexually assaulting a horse
Handing a passport to an IO with half a gram of cocaine in it
No wonder Thais are sick to the back teeth with farang arrogance especially when so much of it comes from elderly western trainwrecks

LOL a country where they sit on the floor and eat with their fingers out of bowls Buddy. Your average joe Somchai believes all he is told they dont think for themselves land of smiles yes dream on.
So what if they sit on the floor to eat?? Lots of cultures do so. It doesn't mean you're better than they are.
Thais question a lot more than you think but they're taught to keep some things to themselves.
Free speech isn't a thing here in case you hadn't noticed- 1

Just now, BritManToo said:
Anutin calls us dirty foreigners.
Prayut says we should be raped and murdered for wearing bikinis.
If you don't believe they hate us, you ain't paying attention.
Oh grow up
Prayut most definitely did not say that. He merely said that if these women parade around in ordinary public areas, they are bound to attract the attention of men, a handful of whom may take things too far.
I remember when we used to laugh at other ethnicities who complained of discrimination here. We'd say things like "Thailand isn't PC so if you don't like it, . . ."
Now that we're on the receiving end, suddenly the softer, snowflake types among us are crying "racism".
What happened to the attraction of no political correctness?- 3

How many times have Westerners who used to be the bread n butter of the tourism industry been pushed aside and forced out in favor of Arabs, Indians, and now Russians? Complaints to The Police are ignored thai yobs have inpunity from assaulting us, Racism is rife not once has a Thai governor answered why Russians or Chinese are given long-stay-free visas yet all other Westerners get only 30 days on Arrival. Have they addressed it no its all about money the greed is rotting the apple barrel, never mind the Golden Goose that was well and trully plucked 10 years ago. Even Thailand's second in command summed up the thoughts of Thais when he called us unwashed dirty falangs and are not wanted in our country. Well mud sticks You are to blame for the decline instead of blaming others look in the mirror.
You make it sound as if the Thais are somehow mourning this development.
I don't think they are.
Can't speak for all Thais but the ones I know rank Brits at the bottom of the barrel as far as crappy behaviour in their country is concerned.- 3

1 hour ago, BritManToo said:Thailand has nothing to offer tourists, Vietnam is better in every way.
The Viets don't hate white folk, they don't put the wrong stamps in your passport, the beaches aren't infested by sand flies, there is more to see.
If I didn't already have a Thai house, wife, kid, I'd not be here.
Get ill in Vietnam and find out.
Oh, and criticise the Vietnamese government as vocally as many here do the Thai administration and you'll find your life getting very difficult, very quickly. The Vietnamese Communist Party doesn't play.
Thais don't "hate" white folk; they've just learned not to give us the benefit of the doubt as readily as they did in the past. I guess that might seem like a negative to the more entitled among us.- 2

2 hours ago, moorebwb said:With many years of rip off exchange rates I'm not surprised. Until it gets back to 60/70 exchange rates your not getting value apart from the obvious
What's "rip-off" about the exchange rate?
I don't hear yanks bitching. Or Indians. Or Chinese.
The pound is where it is because of the stupidity of the British electorate in voting to leave the EU.
The pound has never recovered the 55 baht it enjoyed on June 23, 2016 and it's likely it never will.

Granted but I'd point out that those Brits getting into trouble for these crimes in Thailand most definitely are.

Perhaps the Brits are also tired of two months of 'Farang, he evil & crazy', a Thai media special feature.
Yes but there are pretty valid reasons for farangs featuring more prominently in the Thai media.
So many behave like absolute scum.
Beating up women, sexually assaulting their pupils, dealing drugs, assaulting policemen and even sexually assaulting a HORSE . . . . .- 1

Phuket, again. Foreigner, again. There really must be something in the air down there. There's been so many reports of foreigners going bonkers on Phuket!
This is commonplace. The media's just reporting more often now.

OK... these women are scum and I hope they are caught and penalised....
........ but flippin' ek.... how hard is The Thaiger trying to drag out the 'foreigner's are bad' rhetoric.... ??
... at least they tried to balance the scales by mentioning a theft by a Thai... but why mention either - the story is about these two women ripping off some items from a store.
Don't like the content of the news so it's time for the censors, right?

It is not! A stupid comment that just shows your ignorance and prejudice!
The vast majority of pedos in Thailand are Thai.
This guy is accused of crimes in the UK, so is not at all surprising that he is a Brit!
Of course the majority are Thai; it's their country
I'd imagine he was referring to the foreign paedophiles who are ALWAYS white and from either UK, US, NZ and Germany.

So not dealing with any aspect of my comment; just attacking me and telling anyone who can be bothered to read how comfortable you are as if I suggested you were indigent?
You need help.
