  1. This issue is repeatedly addressed in Thai schools and learning material from the age of 8 onwards. They even point out the boy will get bored and move on leaving the girl "with her life destroyed". This is the phrase they commonly use. I have no idea if this approach reduces the frequency of teenage pregnancies / motherhood.
  2. She needs to stop making up ridiculous excuses, she isn't being tried in the soft-touch UK where that would get you a suspended sentence. She needs to start grassing people up.
  3. Explain that. Cannabis has been decriminalised in Thailand. They are not jailing people for cannabis smuggling. Are you still in the 80's?
  4. As somebody stated earlier, he was probably over the limit for alcohol and drugs. He needs to go away and take time for these to leave his system. This would be his motivation for not stopping.
  5. It looked to me that the altercation was clearly started by the cop going into the cell and kicking or "theeping" (pushing with the foot) the detainee. This is always stated as being the gravest insult in Buddhist Thailand. Of course, we don't know what went on before. Possibly the detainee was sitting blocking the door slightly. The police officer should learn about Thai culture and using his foot.
  6. Donald does not have any friends for long. Even MELANIA can't stand him.
  7. Surely bread, good or otherwise, goes stale and therefore inedible. It might even get some mould on it. So I am struggling to understand your comment about "good bread remaining edible". The exception to this would be if it was truly loaded with preservatives like Farmhouse bread.
  8. I don't believe he is dead. The whole thing is a charade. Lies upon lies.
  9. Hang on, I will just turn my music down.
  10. That's the one!
  11. Count the posts with "Bangkok Hilton" in them.
  12. Monkey House or Bangkok Hilton? I'll let you choose. Or invent a new cliché.
  13. The Lotus North Pattaya branch of Decathlon is definitely not there any more.
  14. You're not alone. It seems the police and municipal officials (on the same road) also have not noticed.
  15. Really? What do they do in school in Cambodia? Just speaking, no books or writing? You should learn to read Thai if you can already speak it. You will see how the tones arise and learn new words all the time. Once you have learnt Thai script, you will see that the Laos script is a close derivation/variant. The Khmer script is quite a long leap further but still related.
  16. Has anybody else noticed it? It is outside Makro. It looks like a heap. It has created an impromptu motorcycle parking spot by shielding the inside lane immediately after it. It has been there for weeks.
  17. The Chinese will tell them where to build, who is going to build it (The Chinese), how much they are going to borrow (from the Chinese) to build it and supply the trains. They won't draw the Thais attention to the heavy penalties (not all financial, Hello, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea....) hidden in the contract for the slightest breach or default. They sure as hell will try to gloss over the fact that control of the entity will be retained in Chinese hands. All of this will be facilitated through careful bungs to the right decision makers. Day by day, Thailand is drawn into China's sphere of influence.
  18. Unlike in the UK where bank staff are mandated to ask what the money is for, where it came from and where it is going, bank staff in Thailand know to keep their trap shut, mind their own business and just process the transaction, for better or for worse.
  19. No details, no official sources, an emotional plea for sympathy and a massive bump for the Go Fund Me page. I suspect this is fraudulent.
  20. 18 years from now he may get picked up at a checkpoint.
  21. Collect the 'don't arrest me' instalments for 18 years and then move in for the kill
