It's hard, I know, but narrow it down to your top 3 fav Thai dishes. For me: 1. Stir fried chicken & cashew with steamed rice 2. Isaan grilled pork with a spicy salty dipping sauce, a (Thai) papaya salad with salty duck eggs and pork rinds added, and sticky rice and raw local veggies too. 3. Massaman curry

I am currently on an extension based on work. My question is: if I wanted to change back again to an extension based on being parent of a Thai child, could I make the change to a 60 day family extension first? Then, later extend it for a year with financial proof. Thank you ????

Hypothetical question: Suppose you wanted to switch back again (from an extension of stay based on work to an extension based on family). Could you make that switch and just get a 60 extension to begin with (based on family), rather than going straight for the one year extension right away? The reason I ask is because to my knowledge the 60 day family extension doesn't require proof of funds in the bank, but the one year extension does, right?

It was 20 years ago, God answered my prayers to send me to live somewhere with loads of easy, hot women. I was thinking somewhere in Europe, like Magaluf, or as it was known "Shagaluf" to us 15 year old virgins. Well, God indeed outdid himself. I must have insulted him by saying that the loose British women who went to Magaluf were hot.

Interesting, Microsoft Azure not here?

What a plan, lol! Ah, yes. Once again, a Thai who cannot fight fair.

Well, I suppose it's all about personal taste. My list goes something like this: 1. British (meat n two veg, stews, soups, pies, roasts, fry up breakfasts, fish n chips, haggis, black pudding, good bread, UK style Chinese) 2. Lebanese (hummus, salads, flat breads, falafel, tasty healthy veggie options, shawarma) 3. Indian (love a good curry, amazing breads and rice, dopiaza, tikka, bhoona, daal, delicious veggie curries, amazing lamb) 4. Mexican (the burritos, the tacos n nachos, jalapenos, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, amazing spices n flavors) 5. Thai (Isaan grilled meats, sticky rice, papaya salad, massaman curry, pad Thai, fried chicken, chicken cashew, good duck, noodle soups) 6. Greek (moussaka, salads, breads, goat's cheese, grilled meats, lots of healthy and tasty options) 7. French (pate, breads, cheeses, cold meats, pastries, cakes, French onion soup, wine, coffee, baguettes) 8. American ( mainly for the sandwiches, burgers, and hotdogs) 9. Italian ( love spaghetti, lasagne, pizza) 10 Japanese (good sushi, ramen, healthy options and tasty)

It's scary to think these people live among us .

Let's be honest, he punched him once, maybe twice. And the Thai guy was up for a fight. It wasn't like he "put him in the ICU" intentionally by stomping all over his head 100 times. The guy had an unlucky fall and hit his head. They should never have been fighting in the first place.

What do you guys drink when you are not drinking? I just don't find Diet Coke very satisfying and there's only so much tea n coffee I can handle. What a good beer substitute? But not Heineken Zero. That's more expensive than real beer, lol

That darn testosterone. What we gonna do with it?

Honestly, this is pathetic. Two grown adults got into a fight. It happens. But let's not just blame one of them only.

Lol. Calm down, Jet Li. If the Thai guy was throwing fists n feet, then it's fair enough to respond the same way No need to pull out some special moves. And not everyone has these kinds of abilities anyway.

Both parties wanted a confrontation, that's my point. But you are saying the farang is 100% at fault. I am saying it's 50/50. You seem to not understand what we are talking about.

Obviously. What's your point? My point is: two adults got into a fist fight, but it's being painted as an unprovoked attack.

But you said it was 100% is farang's fault. The Thai could have kept driving too, by your logic.

There's also talk now of their being contact between the vehicles, in which case you are legally obligated to stop to deal with insurance.

Didn't the Thai guy get off his bike too and approach? Doesn't that make it 50/50?

Her story always sounded strange to me. Clearly, she is just trying to cover for her husband who got involved in a fight willingly. And trying to make it look like an unprovoked attack. Next, she'll be wanting compensation. Mark my words.

I don't really fancy going back to a crazy country, to be honest. Kinda liked the UK the way it was a couple of decades ago.

Can't ruin the, "big, bad, rich, Farang" story. The media only care about the story, not the truth.

He seems to be taking the "when in Rome" thing a bit too far. Frankly, I am more concerned about the madness on the roads in general (which is Thais). Thais are an awful influence and some farang clearly get caught up in it. No excuse though. The only thing that gets me is when they see a farang doing something wrong, they are so quick to condemn, but they themselves are attrocious on the roads and unashamed about breaking the rules. They were probably just <deleted> off they couldn't drive as recklessly as they wanted with the rollerblader on the road. Let's be honest, they don't care about the safety of others, or --.more bizarrely -- themselves on the road.

This is gonna be a tough pill for the Thai apologists to swallow.

Doesn't the video of the actual incident show the Thai man getting involved in the fight? In other words, he wasn't just attacked, right? He was a willing participant.

Just when you think the laws here couldn't be any dumber...
