Who is Richard Barrow???

I've never heard of him, so he can't be very important or influential!!

He is a 50 something blogger that acts like he is still a prefect at college and never grew up. 

If you want to be a public figure anywhere you must stand up to all scrutiny and pick your battles wisely.

If he is not 100% above board. He will be forever a precedent of further reason to alienate farang.

What accent does this Brit have? Where in UK is this self promoting selfish misguided buffoon from?

Reading about this chap it sounds like he failed at a very early age in the UK gave up and got his family to help him get a foothold here and the result has been his helpers have helped him keep the same job for 26 years and to pay them back he goes Rambo on the Thai gov in his last couple of years. So instead of being thankful for the fact he has held the same post and feeling lucky. He starts hurting the very country that made him want to call this his home.

I doubt very much you have been following him for 6 months.

 

I would think that Richard Barrow is in his 40's and not 60's as you stated and his surname is Barrow not mr burrows.

 

Another incorrect post.

 

 

Incorrect. I say he is 50. Based on reading his info. Max 55.

You don't do what he has done unless something happened. Was he always acting out. Not to my knowledge. So what made this guy start attacking the country he claims to love. Did he really think he had pull. Perhaps the digital world he lives in went to his head. 25 years and being one of the first blogs and he sets his stall out very well and embraces everything good about thailand and then uturns all of a sudden.

Strange that.

Pleased to see that the general consensus is this guy's a complete tosser with a face for radio and a voice not even a mother would love.

Try seeing it from the other side for a second.

Guys been here 25 years and as he says it's his home now. 

Maybe this chap has forgotten some important Western philosophies such as do not defecate where you eat.

Thailand is hurting and there's no tourists so why on earth did he think it's a good idea to talk about dual pricing. 

He put a target on his head on purpose by being a lone ranger he should have stuck to travel blogging and left all other matters to other people. 

This is only your home if you tow the line and you all know that. 

Bangkok p not doing him any favours pushing his content and he is not doing farang any favours either. 

I will jump sideways to a close country and wait it out. Makes no sense to go back to the UK. The doom Sayers will not see an end in sight but there is an end and it's not going to take until years end for things to normalise, at least regionally. Makes more sense to test run the borders with neighbouring countries first so with a bit of luck that logic will prevail. Had to join a lot of other groups to get insight on where to fly as no one seems to know here. I'm thinking a month in Malaysia but we still have time to see things unfold. Amnesty still could be extended.

I don't go to a bar to be pestered by local beggars.

I don't expect white guys to be begging me for money either.

So if that happens you are ready to boycott. Man with a plan I see.

But let's be honest this Kev has a decent amount of subscribers. His website is pants but in Thailand most are. The point being he's a threat to every other farang focussed medium and maybe this Kev (cos he looks like one) could be the next TV???? Stranger things have happened....

If you were that worried, why didn't you give him the 200bht? instead you begged by proxy.

I would have asked you to leave the bar, if it was your bar, I would have chosen to drink elsewhere in future.

The Brit guys were right, you were not only soft, but insisted everyone else be soft as well.

OMG so you would have taken so much offence to being asked to help out a poor person you would boycott the bar??

So a guy asks you to show some compassion and you take offence. So instead of doing a good deed you want to spend the rest of your life boycotting a bar you previously frequented. 

Making a lot of sense.

He looks like he works in Insurance claims. Directline or maybe customer service at talk talk.

Definitely popped his cherry in Pattaya or Amsterdam. No doubt about that. Certs. 

Pretty sure that biz model was just a cover. 

Yeah Barrow is too vocal at the wrong time. Real dim wit this guy. 

The way agents hide in the dark is really strange it's as if it is not legal and if it is not legal how come this place is awash with talk and if it's not illegal what's the cloak and dagger all about.  I guess it comes down to what people are willing to pay. One day agents are gonna be extinct somebody will figure out a way of removing their shadowy practices.

So let's say you have over 400k in the bank and you had it there years. Let's say you are on the birth certificate but nothing else and your on amnesty and you used all your 90 + 60 non O visa and extensions already and your staring down the barrel at the amnesty expiration date of 26/9.

Do you think they could be lenient and give me a non O based on what we got?

I am a handsome chap too if that helps and I have nice aftershave I could wear.

Would it be taken lightly if I rocked up with a load of cakes for the immi staff?

To be honest it sounded like the guy thought he needed to stump up 5% of 1.2B and then was told 5m so to me it sounds like a good deal. I bet that MP closes that deal sooner with someone else. All thanks to the free marketing sukky just gave him.  5m for a 1.2b deal and this guy don't know where to get the money!! Guy needs to be sacked for not knowing that.

Ice cubes.

Fizzy 1.5 LTR pop

Fags including singles.

Beer and whiskey

Noodles

Sweets lots of 1 to 5 baht options

Cooking sauces and oils

Toilet roll/ tissue

Deodorant always a smelly <deleted> about in the villages.

Cheap flip flops

Gasoline 91 green stuff.

Cold milk tea - Cha Thai

Toothpaste

Covid 19 buses not clean. You not allowed on anyway. Thigh only.

That's a bit far fetched if that's it. The image is a bit naff too.

This site has links to Samaritans just some Info which may be helpful.
