  1. Even in the unlikely event the cop provoked the situation, you gotta be out of your tree to chin him. I can imagine the retribution back at the station would have been swift and without mercy, and not one to one!
  2. They should accept Thailand for what it is, a developing country! As such there simply isn't the infrastructure to support anything near luxury holidays. First thing a visitor notices is the driving standards, then the wires hanging between concrete or wooden poles, as for Bangkok it's a toilet for a capital city its a disgrace. TAT should work with what they have, improve what they have get rid or duel pricing and after they have mastered that take the next step towards bigger spenders.
  3. So you've never been stopped by MIB or customs never caused you a problem? It ranks 107 out of 180 on corruption index.
  4. You forgot to mention two tier pricing and the endemic corruption! Other than that spot on mate!
  5. Laughable seriously i have friends with young families that live there and every year for 6 weeks they move down to the coast because of the air pollution! I once went to visit friends there I got off the train tuk tuk into town didn't even bother to check into hotel immediately returned to train station where I spent the day waiting for the 4pm train back to Bangkok.
  6. Whilst I dont disagree with getting out of UK I wouldn't recommend relocating to Thailand! I dont think he has looked at what's on offer regarding his children's education? As a family unit what is on offer, go visit some temples, the water park, pop into Market village for a European breakfast at a few 100 per person or find an ex pat restaurant or some Thai street food. Perhaps at night you could go see a film? You and the misses pop into local bar for a drink? Maybe you could all take up golf? Seriously have a rethink perhaps go for a months holiday then make a decision. Good luck.
  7. Why would you get involved with any drug in Thailand? The penalties are not worth it. You pay your money you take your chance sometimes that just doesn't work out.
  8. How can a stash that size not be detected at Bangkok? When I hear this it makes me think that she has been set up and an even bigger load has got through!
  9. I think more likely how to pack 10kg of medicinal supplies into a body cavity?🤫
  10. What a low life slag! She doesn't recognise her older children unless it's her birthday and she ponces cash from the father's she states she's had a 'designer vagina' to eradicate any signs of child birth! Her child is named Cairo i wonder if that where he was conceived or the father is Egyptian? I do feel for the kids because at some stage in their lives they are going to find out about her. I sincerely hope she gets kicked out and the UK investigate her for potential fraud.
  11. Actually they can! Well at least 49% with 2 other 'investers' having 17% each. (In their company) Making them majority share holders and their house becomes their company office. I owned a property for 6 years like this, sold it at a profit and moved onto the next one using the same system.
  12. It took longer than I expected!!!! I wonder if what's left of his assets will remain in his family custody or now that he is no longer with us the vultures will pick it clean.
  13. No precise cause of death! if he were to say she did a runner back to Thailand a few weeks ago, the authorities might have a problem proving otherwise.
  14. I feel for the parents, they have raised €30,000 to take the body back to Ireland? The cost for a body repatriation can be anywhere between £2,500 and £20,000, however the average cost usually tends to be somewhere around £3,000 to £6,000. The cost for an ashes repatriation is usually lower and can be around £1,000 to £3,000 depending on the level of the service. This is to the UK, I know what I'd be repatriation a nice urn .....
  15. Regardless of who is to blame, I'm sure the mahouts insurance will cover any necessary medical bills and perhaps a little compensation as a sign of good will.
