Beat me if i have a clue what a family planning conference means, what? you tell people how to plan their families? such an odd presuite, but i guess when you're a billionaire you can pick and choose what ever you like...
Perhaps this will help you. The good news is people can join the conference "virtually" which I am sure may be of interest to those who can now sit at the bar and still discuss the need for, or not, condoms with their chosen bar lady ????
International Conference on Family Planning (ICEP 2022)

A thread that is a magnet for bitter Westerners. I suppose they reap what they sow.
You are 100% correct in that conclusion as can be seen from some of the posters already.

You seem a bit slow. Story said "allegedly intoxicated" i said "if drunk" what part of that don't you understand?
You seem to be the thick one. I asked the question "Where does it say he was drunk ?", a simple comment. Now had you have said he was drunk, which you didn't, then I would have said something totally different.

Many of us do otherwise there would be no need for wine retail outlets.

There are countless stories like this on here. Seems common in the farang-Thai relationship.
And do the people the OP describes sound worthwhile people to you?
You should be aware that in low socioeconomic areas there are way more social social problems and abuse, right? There have been research papers written on that
You have said it "Stories". ????, so many of which are unsubstantiated. I left believing in fairytales behind when I was a young child but clearly some people never ever really grow up. Also this thread is about lack of gratitude in a Thai relationship, not about abuse which you attempt to deflect onto.

A sequel movie perhaps to "A Bridge too Far" except this time not portraying the brave, rather portraying poor design and/or no Maintenace perhaps

Typically, the ones who try to search out farang for a relationship fall into this category.
I also think they treat each other this way too. So it ain't just us.
It is more prevalent in people coming from the low socioeconomic places.
is your statement based upon your own personal research project or anothers, if so please publish the paper, or simply based upon your own personal prejudices ?

Just now, scubascuba3 said:If he was drunk driving and his fault he should be prosecuted and pay up, maybe the lawyer can mitigate if no helmets, licence, too many people
Where does it say he was drink driving ? The police don't only stated they would have him undertake an alcohol test at the police station. Or do you work in the police station and know the outcome of that test ? Perhaps you were the unnamed witness who stated he appeared intoxicated ?
Maybe he was DUI in which case he should feel the full force of the law but there again we don't know nor at this time who was at fault. Whilst most people driving Fortuners are poor drivers, and that's being polite, let's wait for the police report before jumping to conclusions especially that 4 people on a motor cycle is hardly a safe and controllable form of transportation.

Truss’ latest pro-big business, anti consumer madness idea is to merge the UK’s financial regulators (the organizations set up to prevent banks from gambling with the nation’s credit and protect consumers from financial fraudsters).
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/aug/18/liz-truss-merge-financial-regulators-fca
In November 1918 prime minister Lloyd George in his famous speech stated " to Make Briton a fit country for heroes to live in". I have no doubt the potential PM, Liz Truss will aim to make Britain "" A country fit for wealthy tax avoiders to be resident in"" . Indeed a divided nation.
In my opinion there has only been one great peace time prime minister in my lifetime and that was Harold MacMillan. to quote from "Wiki" ; " He was a One Nation Tory of the Disraelian tradition and supported the post-war consensus. He supported the welfare state and the necessity of a mixed economy with some nationalised industries and strong trade unions. He championed a Keynesian strategy of deficit spending to maintain demand and pursuit of corporatist policies to develop the domestic market as the engine of growth. Benefiting from favourable international conditions,[2] he presided over an age of affluence, marked by low unemployment and high—if uneven—growth. In his speech of July 1957 he told the nation it had 'never had it so good',[3] but warned of the dangers of inflation,
What a shame that all successive Tory PM's, perhaps with the exception of John Major has succeeded in almost destroying MacMillan's philosophy and now the UK can look forward to years of deprivation for the millions of less well off and pensioners, the butt of international jokes and an utterly, utterly divided nation. What ever happened to the Tories and their probable selection of the countries next "couldn't care less" PM, Liz Truss ?

Got to be better than the bus loads of Chinese licking the bus windows.
Also an amazing experience going to a sea food buffet with that lot in house.
Well at least the Chinese can certainly put the Thais in their place for the amount of food they can get on one plate at a buffet

Been discussing making changes to motor laws on radio in Thai for a couple of days and now as you say back to usual.
I fitted seat belts but nothing was said when stopped at check points before I fitted them.
I just thought it was such an unfair thing to do within such a short time just to rip off the poor.
Well as we all know most Thai laws are optional. Around here most of the pick-up drivers don't wear their belts anyway. I tried to suggest they did as it would stop them falling out of their seat when drunk, but they just don't listen ????

Never has one government created so many problems in such a short period time....
Collapse of the water system
Prices of gas/energy out of control
NHS - in crisis -
No Dentists
Queues at A&E
Trained and skilled workers sent back to EU
Inflation over 10% - inflation is caused by businesses and banking - the wages haven't gone up yet.
Foodbanks serving people who actually have jobs because of low wages
PM having a sulk
WAR IN EUROPE.
This is a government elected on one issue alone "Get Brexit done" - they have no idea how to actually govern
They didn't anticipate any of the consquences
Now they just cover up after cover up and blame Covid
Now the dust is settling they are running out of excuses and things they can blame.
e.g. -Energy price cap in UK is over £4000 by the new year - in France it's 4%
Pretty glum all round and things to get worse, far worse for them.

Yeah, I knew it would be easy, but TiT and the website makes no mention that I can see of the "just turn up" option.
Really daft question - All my documentation is in Thai, I'm assuming that will be OK (You never know in this world).
Best in Thai from my experience, other than my name which is kept in English. I always have my Thai DL with me if there is a new assistant is a bit unsure about the spelling of my name.

Yup, we have a full service counter.
I've used it many times to return Lazada stuff with pre-printed labels, just never initiated the shipment.
very easy when I have done it, simply give them the delivery address and they do the rest on their electronic machine and just pay the money. They have never asked me for id, simply my address and phone number and have sent numerous parcels over the years.

Just check to see if there is a kerry service point near you and take it in, very simple.

Maybe because I read this article and many others which were similar at the time
Authorities are also exploring the idea of a “cannabis sandbox” that would allow tourists to visit the country while recreationally using cannabis in select areas, to help create destinations synonymous with the drug, according to local media.
At the time of campaigning in 2019, Charnvirakul said that the legalisation would be “a win-win situation for the Thai people because they will grow the plant and it will benefit the economy”.
Shouldn't believe everything you read, especially the Guardian.

If I leave the country during my 90 day extension it will cancel it
Are you planning to return before the end of the 90 day extension ? If so simply get a re-entry permit and it won't be cancelled I think.
Sorry saw UJ's reply and mine crossed in cyber space

I was surely under the view that Anutin wanted Marijuana Tourism to flourish.........silly me and all of you others who thought this was true.......
Not sure how or why you concluded that. My impression was that Anutin wanted marijuana legalised in Thailand to allow unlimited supplies for medicinal use which by and large would be grown and sold by companies which he either had an interest in or his cronies had in order to maximise his own business stream income at prices which could be controlled. I can't think for one moment he considered that loads of independent growers/suppliers would pop up pushing prices to very low levels and hence having a big impact on his projected income.

Pattaya Deputy Mayor visit injured couple who plunged into street hole
in Pattaya News
Posted
Perhaps there should also have been a basket containing spectacles as to quote from the article
"Deputy Manoch carried on that the hole on Soi Buakhao 15 was dug in preparation for a storm drain pipe. In fact, there was a warning sign for vehicles at the hole, and a narrow path beside the hole was left for pedestrians only, the deputy added."
