Mr Meeseeks

I have known many foreign men that have been ripped off by Thai women and Thai men with whom they were romantically involved. Too many stories of knives being used, assaults, police involvement and similar to list here. Over the years, I have had two friends killed by their Thai wives, one was shot, and his body left in his underwear in the jungle, where he was found days later. Another was killed, and his body burned, again in the jungle. In both cases over money and in both cases the Thai spouses were convicted. They were also from Bangkok, so these were no small village crimes. They people that committed these crimes were close family that they had known for many years. So yeh, I do know a little bit about this stuff, and when I hear about farangs going bonkers for no good reason I have a tendency to question it.

Anything over ten years is a pretty good effort. 👏

The title of this thread perfectly describes my last serious, long-term relationship in Thailand.

I was just thinking the same thing. Life savings gambled away, personal possessions stolen, etc. Loads of reasons that would make a man go berserk. We have to realise that many Thais use the words bipolar to describe Westerners that become increasingly hostile and angry with their unreasonable behaviour, often over money. How do I know? Been there myself.

Not all of them, and often they are out of order or kept locked by the security.

Those 20,000 entered illegally from a safe country therefore they are illegal immigrants. Genuine asylum seekers flee from unsafe countries, like war zones etc, arrive in the first safe country then claim asylum, often using the UDHR article 14. Let me explain. They would be genuine asylum seekers if they came to Britain directly from wherever they originate. They did not, they wilfully and illegally moved through several other countries to illegally enter Britain. This means they have ulterior motives other than just remaining safe, fleeing persecution, or claiming asylum. As they came directly from a safe country, and a country in which they were not persecuted, namely France, their asylum claims are entirely bogus. They will all be going back.

20 odd years ago not so many of them had tattoos. They were still taboo for Thais even among bar-girls and go-go dancers. There were a few that had sak yant, small designs, baby coverups and a few even had tats on their naughty bits. How times have changed.

Bit like the locals then. 🤣

Absolutely correct. Also, those junctions on railway road need working stop lights. So many accidents happen there.

The biggest danger on the roads in Thailand are young men in these pick-ups.

The Rwanda plan was not a scam, it was a deterrent. Also, it would be much cheaper and more effective than putting up illegals in hotels and giving them handouts. Now the solution will be turning back the boats, with forced deportations and repatriations, which will be a lot messier. They aren't staying, and populations of ethnic minorities that have not integrated into British society will be forcibly repatriated. It is inevitable.

Erm, the Labour Party sabotaged the Rwanda plan from the beginning, because they understood the implications of its successful implementation, even for only a few hundred migrants. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-labour-secretly-fears-the-rwanda-scheme/

That was also true for Brits, Swedes, and a number of other nationalities. At one point, Thailand was well known as the most dangerous tourism destination for Brits. Late 90's, early 00's.

The Police are the worst culprits. Instead of leading by example, most of them view the uniform as a licence to do as they please, and that it affords them a higher status than ordinary civilians. Nauseating.

All the Gofundmes I have been aware of recently are to repatriate American pensioners who can't get health insurance in Thailand because they are too old.

That's the real information that tourists need to know and that may save some lives.

Used to be the go to for everything back in the day, foreign driver's licences, fake university degrees etc. Some of them were quite good too. One guy I knew used the fake UK driver's licence to hire and drive a car back in the UK! Better value was found in some of the lesser known fake certs though, such as PADI diver certs etc. Some fake certs even helped guy get employment offshore!

They are experts and born geniuses don’t ya know?

Looking like hard times ahead at Nissan. 9000 lay-offs this year, production down 20%, and a $60.1 million operating loss. As there are several Nissan plants in Thailand, and with a massive slump in domestic demand, this has serious implications for Thailand! https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1145156_insider-says-nissan-has-12-14-months-to-survive

Tell me you don't know what you are doing without telling me you don't know what you are doing. Meanwhile, in the UK, the 6th nuclear-powered Astute Class hunter-killer sub has just been launched. Probably the most advanced sub of its type in the World.

Nonsense. Don't fall for their lies and excuses. Press full charges,

Erm, she's running a country mate, not working in a Svensens 555. She should definitely have experience in politics, in cabinet or shadow cabinet, before becoming the leader of a political party, and leader of a country! In this case, it doesn't matter, she's from the right clan and doing exactly what Daddy tells her. The mind boggles.

Having a Dad in charge of the company certainly helps.

Well known in upper-echelon Thai circles for being on the take and heavily involved in the elephant ticket scheme. A mate of the watchman Prawit as well...
