  1. NorthernRyland, it is sad they have no common sense.
  2. You can make all the rules you want, but nothing will change until you add more police to enforce the laws. I might also add that the driving test for automobiles and motorbikes is a joke here in Thailand. Driving and riding schools. It's worth a try. Bottom line: Checkpoints are useless. Thailand needs more police patrolling the roads.
  3. You could have left out the word American. Yes, he is an idiot like many others I have encountered from other countries, including Thailand.
  4. What an "F...ing" idiot. I am almost ashamed to tell people I am from America when asked.
  5. This is sad. My wife and her family live in Kalasin, and I felt slight tremors from the quake here.
  6. Old fool! You are giving Americans and farangs in general a bad reputation. Go back home.
  7. It's sad that even if you are right, you are a farang, not Thai, and they always win. Even my Thai family has thrown me under the bus on occasions.
  8. It appears that I will not need to pay any tax. I rarely use my credit card for purchases other than at Mitsubishi for service and tires.
  9. If I use my international credit card to purchase items here in Thailand, aren't the items already taxed? If so, why should I pay an additional tax on that purchase?
  10. Growing up, my dad had an IQ of 140, and my mom was the spelling bee queen. I didn't inherit any of that. However, my parents always said that common sense is equally important. I find common sense lacking here, and most Thais are inconsiderate. Does this human trait, common sense, contribute to intelligence? I think so.
  11. Expats like Robert gives all expats a lousy reputation. If I were to meet up with him, I would slap the snot out of him.
  12. There are many dogs in our village. At night they began to howl and bark, which is annoying to say the least. Owners are responsible for their animals. In my country, owners of dogs and cats are required to follow animal control regulations. Dogs and cats need to be neutered or spayed.
  13. The Thailand revenue department is missing millions, if not billions, of Baht each year by not taxing street vendors.
  14. Too often some take advantage of events like this and have no basis for raising prices. Other than pure GREED!
  15. What I give my wife is nobody's business. What I give her, I do so happily.
  16. Since COVID, my wife and I have noticed that the cost of groceries has increased by at least 1000 bhat each month. I fear we will see another increase due to the tariffs, if so, I feel sorry for the poor Thai people.
  17. You said if legally registered they have the same rules as motorbikes. HaHaHa...what rules? These idiots here have no rules. They believe they own the roads. Some examples: Ride in the opposite direction, have no turn signal, pull in front of you on the right at a traffic light when turning right, never use their mirrors, and then pull into your travel lane. I had an ATV and told they are not street legal.
  18. I remember Sex on the Beach was an alcoholic drink you could order. After a few of these, you were unable to get it up for any extra fun on the beach or not. 😉
  19. Maybe the old guy was sleepwalking trying to find his bathroom. I don't care if he was Thai or foreigner it takes balls to walk naked out in public. He might also be prode of his package...Just showing off. 😁
  20. As I said in the article "Krackdoowm on foreigners" by police and other agencies. You are playing the blame game and have put a target on our backs.
  21. When you resort to playing the blame game, you lose. Yes, some foreigners come to Thailand with bad intentions and need to be shown the door, and then some are just complete idiots. The fact you are targeting foreigners makes us targets; I have many good friends, shop owners in the city, and village people, but what bothers me are the Thai people I don't know. They will put their spin on this and become abusive or even become violent.

  23. This all seems pretty innocent to me. Mom always said if you make a big deal of something, it becomes a big deal, which appears to be what this has turned out to be.
  24. I have been living and banking in Thailand for over 10 years; I sure hope I don't need to make any changes to my bank account. I am 77 years old and cranky as hell.
  25. Some blame the Thai nationals for committing more crimes than foreigners. Well, duh, there are more Thais than Forenirs. You must be shown the door if you come to Thailand with bad intentions. Some Thai men tend to intimidate foreigners, which escalates into violence. I have personally experienced this. The police crackdown nationwide should hopefully help curb and slow down crime among Thais and foreigners.
