True????

Thats why I only drink Brandy now, no bad chemicals in that, and it is actually good for you, lowest calories in all alcoholic drinks and is good for cholesterol. But has to be a good quality VOSP.

Good news no one was injured, thanks for the warning to others, its something that can so easily happen over time I guess.

 

Our is always turned off immediately after use and the bottle is physically located outside the premises.

Great idea to have the bottle outside or as far away from people as poss.

Let's not forget the long-term solid Thai social 'rule' that men don't accept the existing children of girls/ladies they meet.

 

Why? Because 'they don't have the male partners blood'. Their blood is not the same as the master of the house., therefore the GFs children cannot live in the house.

 

90+ % of Thais follow this thinking, common also in Cambodia, Lao and Myanmar.

 

This is another reason why so many Thai kids live with grandma and in many cases ahave never been to the house where their birth mother now lives and know they are not welcome.

 

On the other hand the majority of western men (I think this is true) readily accept that their new GF has kids and she should remain strongly in their lives, and therefore accept her kids into their daily lives and into their house, accept responsibility for their welfare. education etc., and often become very good step-fathers. 

 

One of my professor buddies in Bkk met a female professor at his uni and they quickly formed a happy relationship. She speaks advanced English, lovely pleasant and intelligent young lady, never asked for anything.. 

 

She had  kids from a previous marriage with a Thai man,  2.5 yo and 5 yo. The lady professor informed my buddy she had kids as soon as they met.

 

The farang made it clear he wanted to meet her kids and get to know them, this happened quickly, the kids bonded with the farang quickly and were young enough to quickly pick up plenty of English.

 

Two years later they married and the kids featured in the ceremony and the wedding celebrations.

 

The lady professors elder brother made it plain from day 1 that the couple met that the kids had to be split up & each one go to live with a grandmother. 

 

Farang insisted this not happen and a few months before the wedding bought a new house with enough bedrooms for the two kids to each have their own very comfortable rooms, a shared bathroom, some electronics etc., and the kids (suggested/prompted by the farang and accepted by their mother) had been moved into better schools. They all moved into the new house a month or so before the wedding.

 

The day after the wedding the farang came home to a severe argument between his new wife and her elder brother who had arrived at the house, rounded up the 2 kids and demanded they each go to their rooms with big black plastic bags to gather up their clothes etc. Their mother was telling them 'you are not moving anywhere, this is your home, our family home'.

 

Both kids ran to the farang and clung onto him and with lots of crying said they didn't want to leave the house. 

 

Farang called a Thai lawyer friend and his wife called the police.

 

The police arrived first and tried to tell the farang that his wifes' brother was correct by Thai law, the kids could not stay there.

 

Lawyer arrived soon after and quickly demanded that both the police and the older brother quote the supposed Thai law which states that they could not live in the new house because their blood was not the same as the new husband'.

 

Both police and older brother couldn't quote any such law. Lawyer demanded the phone number of the senior the 2 cops reported to and lawyer called him. Senior arrived at the house 10 minutes later and got very angry with his 2 junior cops telling them 'you've been told before there is no such law and that you cannot make up laws'.

 

Senior cops spoke some English, he told the farang 'you are not breaking any laws, and I'm happy to see that the 2 children and being well taken care of'. '

 

Senior cop then spoke strongly to the older brother and made him confirm that he now understood there is no such law, then told the farang 'if you have any further problems please call me' and gave his card and mobile no. 

 

 

Great outcome.????

It is also in the Thai press daily.
 

They handle this job a lot better than most countries, like most things regarding covid. Every covid case recorded, showing where, the dates, if they have recovered, if they had symptoms etc. eg How many “Total recovered” and “ Active cases” in the UK? The UK won’t tell us.

I am glad he is going to sue these moles, I don’t see any other country  doing the same. It will help to prevent further crossings if they know they will be punished.
 

Some posters seem to be under the impression that these are poor hookers, they are not. They were making plenty. Their selfishness, laziness and greed (which is typical for girls in this profession) has caused loss to other businesses that were already struggling. 
 

Once again people will pile on the criticism because Anutin dared to call some farangs dirty for not wearing a free mask he was personally handing out to stop this pandemic during the same month Boris Johnson was going around shaking hands with infected patients in hospitals without washing his hands. 
Frail.

No on the contrary. I've been trying  to donate my church organ for years but as they're buddhists they're not interested.

He clearly meant the most dangerous roads in the world, statistically.

 

Which... is somewhat debatable for a car as motorcycles account for 76% of the road fatality stats. 

Thus, it would be interesting to see ‘realistic statistic’ applied to road safety i.e. Road accidents / fatalities per KM driven in a 4 wheeled vehicle and compare that same stat to other countries. 

 

Then there is the debate regarding whether higher up is safer at all. In seating higher up in an SUV type vehicle you can see further ahead, over other smaller vehicles, thus safety may be improved, however, rollover is a higher risk and thus there is greater risk to safety. But, an SUV is usually a larger vehicle with more great protection / space around the occupants, however etc etc... the debate could rage on endlessly. 

 

The reality: sitting higher up may just be nicer !

Ive travelled all over the world Pal and been driving for 40 years including HGV trucks of which I own 20, also driven high end cars such as Bentley, Mercs, BMW etc, sure they're luxurious and the best comfort you can get, but for me being able to see over most other vehicles ahead of you gives you a greater safety advantage, and in something like a Fortuner the comfort isn't far off the higher end prestige cars, and the strength is right up there too. As for them turning over easy that would definitely be down to  inexperienced driver.

I've had Toyota pickup truck for several yrs and told I can get 500k trade in. 

 

It was in the smash repair shop for a month getting a full re-spray. During this time I was driving a sporty BMW. The first day back in my pickup was horrible. I couldn't believe how unsafe I felt. Bouncing all over the place and so high up. It didnt feel right and now I want to change cars. 

 

I have finished doing renos on our building and now dont really need the pickup tray as much. Sometimes I do like driving to a lake area that has dirt roads. I suppose I could get away with an ALL wheel drive option and not a 4WD.

 

If I had a million to put towards a new car (maybe 1.5mill) plus the 500k trade what would you recommend?

 

thanks

Toyota Fortuner. High up is good on the worst roads in the world, one of the most reliable vehicles on the road, strong if you do have a prang, and comfort is amazing compared to hi-lux. I've had several of both going back to the early models.

P.s  and lots of room inside and rear in case you need it.

Well even just to take care of the garden area they arent interested in, garden is 1  acre  2.5  rai and is  low maintenance, everything on sprinklers, Fruit is 12  rai, we  may  just abandon growing the fruit completely, even when they get  offered 40%  of any profits they dont want it.

The main problem is they  just up an leave,  no warning often leaving us in a  real mess, have to cancel appointments even flights  sometimes.

Ive had enough of the attitude and lack of work ethic Ill sell get a condo by the sea and have a less stressful  life without having to think about staff beacsue no matter what you offer or  how  kind you are its  not appreciated.

I let the last  lot even use my pick up once every few  weeks, then they started using it weekly  then daily.........theyre all take take  take.

Probably used it for drug running, thats why many don't want to work hard, Easier money to be made.

It is a hard time for businesses but putting money before peoples lives is not the answer, until covid is totally under control around the world travel bans need to be enforced and the govt needs to help effected businesses/people more than they are, buying subs etc when the country is desperate is not  good govt policy.

Yes but its not any old sub. Its a Chinese sub!????

The best way of checking if you have C19 without actual testing (which seems to be as exotic as the fabled white elephant in Thailand) is to keep an eye on your blood oxygen level using an oximeter. Readily available on Lazada and not expensive, if you see your oxygen level drop below 95% it's likely you have C19 and you should go to a hospital. If you've got a cough and the usual cold or flu symptoms, but your blood oxygen saturation stays up above 95%, then it probably is just a cold or flu. It's not foolproof, but then neither are the tests, however it's a lot better than just praying.

Cannot possibly be better than praying or walking round the Temple 9 times.  555.    777

It seems lots of people here would like to execute him right away.

 

Obviously what he did was wrong and bad. I think the main question should be: Did he "only" look at those pictures or did he have sex with children, maybe in Pattaya.

If he had sex with children then I join the execute him club. Because that is a lot worse than "just" looking at pictures.

Looking or doing where children are concerned just as bad in my book. No trial or jury straight to execution.

Wait a while, and you'll get free PR thrown in.
