That's fairly normal behaviour from the owners here in Thailand !!!

When it comes to money which the ring is Thai's have a whole different perspective on what is fair & reasonable, the law means little as wealth is above all!!!

Well it depends on who is awake and who isn't!

Given what has been revealed and what many of us knew in the first few months of the "pandemic" this is hard to believe! Shame on you NZ government!!!

How much did he make from the last pandemic !!! Maybe he is missing his little jaunts to Epstien's island!! The world really can do without people who leech off others for their own means!

Its difficult to see if he kicked her intentionally or he slipped, either way he has been acquitted. But his swearing at the 2 ladies is hardly an appropriate way to speak to a stranger, especially a lady. His actions certainly suggest that he an aggressive person so I hope he at the least got reprimanded for that outburst whether he paid hush money or not!!!

Divorced and severely ripped off, my own fault! I was way to trusting and generous only to be manipulated, lied to and stolen from, and of course now slandered!!! I am sure there are many Thai ladies that make great partners but most Thai's have an extreme love of money that often over rides ethics and morals of the western world, I am quite sure these over sights are known to Thai's but old habits die hard and override what they most likely know will be problematic in a relationship. Its easy to be wise afterwards, set a firm precedent from the start and dont let the situation become available and your relationship will have a greater chance of survival.

Russia, China, Iran, India & Thailand in various ways support the illegally instated Burmese Junta for their own financial gains. The Junta are committing atrocities against the people daily, destroying infrastructure, bridges, schools, hospitals, places of worship and thousands of peoples homes, this is a known fact yet these neighbouring countries & others continue supporting this genocide of the Burmese people. The so called army are currently getting their arses kicked by the rebel armies who are fighting for their lives & some sort of self rule based on a democracy. To add to this the generals and their cronies are stealing the wealth of Burma from the state & the people whether it be properties, business's or recourses and destroying the peoples ability to make a living. Inflation is out of control, the rule of law is whatever suits the Junta on the day and yet the likes of China & Russia being the 2 biggest supporters continue to prop up this atrocity purely for their own means. What has the world come to, why do these leaders have no shame, no ethics or morals?

How can the Kennedy family be Democratic Party supporters after the government of that time's involvement when JFK was assassinated, the cover ups and the lies that surrounded the entire sad event! I say good on RFK junior for joining Trump, Its time to drain the swamp!

sure but remember where you are!

Determining the source doest alter the devastation it will have on marine life in the area, his efforts should be towards detaining its spread and getting it cleaned up!! Typical !!!

With the comments you made it sounds like you have an extremely small circle of Thai friends being the guys you drink beer with early mornings. I guess its great that you have these positive sentiments re your drinking buddies.

Well Shretta was not doing a good job so who knows, she may be a better choice!

Yes very true, I did cross from Mae Sai a few years back, carried a bunch of red wine back with me, about 40% cheaper than Thailand!!

Actually I was referring to your comments re Harris, do you live under a rock?

Only Ranong and its easy!

What planet are you from?

One could say plenty about just 1 more of Thailands ambitions but being a tech Hub given their antiquated systems which often includes reams of paper work, what planet are they from?

durrrr!

The previous plan of attracting high spending (quality) tourists was and is the way forward for Thailand if it is serious about being a leading tourist destination whilst maintaining a balance in society, given the current infrastructure hoards of cheap charlies will overload the already stressed infrastructure and slowly drag the standards down to a level where high quality tourists will look elsewhere for spending their $$. I have said it before, you sleep with dogs you get fleas!!! The recent actions of the Thai legal system dissolving the MFP is another huge spike in the Coffin, sadly the current administration doesnt see it being their downfall.

Embracing the likes of China, Russia & Myanmar is a fair indication of the calibre of the Thai elite and its politicians!! What can I say, you sleep with dogs, you get fleas!!

Did you expect anything else!!!

No of course not, it just raises the bar on negative publicity doing that. Its bad enough that a potential ( Eastern European) customer feels she has the right to turn a dozen or so diners evening meal into a nightmare and because we have the right to refuse service given the situation she can damage my potential business image.

Reporting in Thailand is often far from being accurate and many institutions like TAT give figures they want to believe which get printed as factual. Unless you had a reliable connection to the person who has the correct information then its often guess work. If you counted all the illegals here which included foreign workers I am quite sure there would be 100,000 in any given year. One would think immigration would have overstayer numbers at their finger tips given it must be computorised!
