  1. I got my veterans card a few months ago. You can get one if you still have a UK address.
  2. Hard to keep it a secret at the British Legion and other events like at the British Embassy, Hellfire Pass or Remembrance Sunday at the British Club etc. 😉
  3. I have several good mates living in Pattaya who are genuinely ex-UKSF. One is ex SAS 22, one ex-SAS 23 and another former SBS. All bona fide as I have seen their credentials when attending Remembrance Sundays, etc. When I lived in Bangkok I drank with a mountain of an SBS guy and knew various others. All genuine. The bar I drank in on Soi 22 was all ex-UKSF and had the winged dagger on the wall IFYKYK.
  4. Budget travel has a lot to answer for. In Pattaya, Soi Buakow and surrounds is full of them. Hopefully “climate change” hikes air ticket prices beyond affordability for these undesirable oiks.
  5. Drinking with mentally unstable Thais is always going to be a risky business. RIP to the victim.
  6. Sounds like the nephew wasn't wearing a seatbelt and the toddler was not in a proper seat.
  7. So not based on statistics and actual events then? 🤔
  8. That is not a racist comment. It is an observation of a behaviour which seems to be common among Indian visitors. Many Thais dislike Indians and view them as rude and dirty. Hence the outrage at this video of Indians urinating in public. Hope that clarifies.
  9. They could spend all of that budget and it would still be a sh*****le.
  10. Who to replace them all with? More corrupt, selfish criminals? All the same, top to bottom here. They get exactly the government they deserve.
  11. It was under Thaksin that the nationalism and xenophobia against foreigners became apparent. Prior to his government in 2001, we were mostly left alone. Paying off the IMF loan was one such example, and his other comments about UN not being his father etc. Also, many of the visa restrictions including limits on PR and citizenship happened under his watch.
  12. Many companies use broken / inaccurate gauges on dive equipment. One such example from my own experience is a well known offshore safety training company on the Eastern seaboard that was using broken gauges on their Compressed Air rebreathers when I did my offshore survival training there. 'Mai bpen rai' was the usual excuse. You really think Thai companies are bothered about lawsuits? 🤣
  13. Absolutely spot on and has been forever thus.
  14. I hope he lost the maximum amount of face possible.
  15. Happens all the time in many Thai companies without unanimous authorisation. Signatures are often fakes, as we see in this article. I have faced a similar situation for a company I used to work for, where two of the directors stole all the company assets including the foreign owner's houses, condos, and land owned in company name. Problem is, the foreigner was a w⚓️ and deserved it. 😉
  16. I hope he's got a permit to film all these videos as Thais don't like folk exposing their dirty little secrets online.
  17. The Swiss guy was the one attacked with a weapon by a cowardly drunk Thai. Also, Swissman David was acquitted of kicking the Thai doctor. 😁
  18. The lesson: don’t drink with low class Thai males in bars.
