HAPPYNUFF

Why does the saying " give up hope all ye who enter here", come to mind??

It wasnt me, it was that bloody plastic bag that did it!!!

And the Tourism Authority of Thailand have verified that figure using their own computer!

The elder brother was obviously very cut up about his young brothers re action.

A couple of years ago, I had my 800,000 in one of those Co-Operative Banks, as then, it was paying a higher rate of interest than other banks. Went to do my usual annual visa thing, was told, most firmly, by I.O Boss I HAD to put my money into a Bangkok Bank, or else, no visa extension next time.. Did as ordered next time, luckily, by then Bangkok Bank was paying slightly higher interest than Co Op Bank anyway.

Fraud, in Thai elections, I simply cant believe it, I mean all those banknotes handed out at election time are just candidates repaying debts that just happened to fall due at the same time.

Here I am again, ready to do my bit. Hand me one of their shotguns, give them a 100 metres start, and let the show begin.

Considering the educational standards of Thais, the poor little sod of a government official was most likely doing his honest best when he said he had amassed one million signtures. The only problem he had was counting all those zeros after the figure one..............One, another one,, one more,,.........

Unless I have misunderstood, you need to front up 100,000 baht, being 10,000 baht for each of ten years. Im Ok with that, to a degree, as people who presently use an agent pay more than that per year. But what happens at the end of ten years, assuming one is still in the land of living..."Get out now farang, times up" ????

Its generally the loose nut behind the wheel.

Ha!!!!.. I will send you my first Isan wife,,I just need to point her in the direction of your wallet. A thieving lying bitch of the first order. Got rid of her while I still had money, and brains. She now has some poor sod from Europe in despair. My second one, from nearby, but not quite, Isan land, is great, laughs a lot, cooks magnificient, Western or Thai food, never stops working around the house, doesnt ask for money, nor do her family. Second time lucky.

As far as I am aware, the liver is the only organ in ones body able to "repair" itself, to some degree, if alcohol, which was the cause of the problem, is abstained from. That is providing the damage done is not to far gone. The report also refers to mild brain damage, again a symptom of excessive alcohol abuse. That is not reversible. It is sad so many people, Thais as well, cause so much damage to their body by excess use of alcohol, but considering the hard life many Thais live, it is the only form of relaxation they have.

I have never been to bed with an ugly Thai female, But sure woke up next to quite a few!!!!!!!!

Not being from the northern hemisphere, I have never heard, before, of Neil Oliver, and make no comment on his broadcast. However, he does talk of trust,, I would assume he also means respect, and o n those points I would just say, who now, in these troubled times, can we look to, to respect and trust. Religion, of nearly all denominations,, have failed and are hardly to be looked upon favourably. Politcians,,, what can one say about the greater majority of them, self serving power hungry individuals, only concerned about getting re elected next time around. For the British Commonwealth people, their monarchy is going through turmoil and embarrasment due to the antics of some of their members. Polls taken show doctors, and medical peoples are amongst the few to whom people look up to these days..That is individuals, it should be institutions as well that have our trust and respect. It is sad, as I believe we need someone, or something, in our life to look up to, respect and trust, otherwise it quite dispiriting.

Well, I was going to have Liverpool Lou be my lawyer, should I ever have need of one, as he purported to have a good knowqledge of Thai law, especially in the matter of consuming alcohol on Thai beaches, Pattaya in particular. However after reading the post from Thai Lawyers, there is mention only of the "sale" of alcohol, no mention of "consumption" on said beach. Alas Lou, Ive had to sack you before even hiring you. Never mind, Im sure your Thai friends still love you.

Putting aside the possibilities of more to this story than stated, I am simply amazed that there were only two ThaIs confronting one farang. They must be very brave, or very stupid n ot to have another half dozen pals to assist them, they could have been hurt.!!

Oh God, please save me, is 2022 going to be the year of Thai lovers dominating this forum...??? Most know that bad drivers exist world wide, even in ones own country, surprisingly. However, this forum and (most) of the people who contribute to it, live, or at least exist, here. Therefor they talk about local matters, on a local forum , how one can construe that as racist, or bigoted,?,when it well may be the nut behind the loose wheel may even be one of those "dirty" farang,, if you want to talk about Saudi, Kenya, USA , Uk, start your own thread., in each of those countries forums..

As another poster said, Thailand is for Thais. and it would be a far better place if we could just rid of the sods.

Pathetic isnt it,, the foot stamping of a ten year old retard whos just been told hes a naughty boy.

well after all, he, and his son , are just showing the normal Thai level of intelligence and common sense.

Well I had a fairly good life back in Oz, own house, car, plenty of money, well enough to not worry, companionship of the other sex whenever, some just as friends. Met the wife when here, she didnt want to leave her family, I wasnt fussed about moving. However, if it hadnt have been for that, I wouldnt have moved here permanently, no chance in the world, holidays here are not in the least like living permanently. The hassles in everyday living wear you down, continually on your guard, plus the health insurance, costs through the roof and increasing every year as you age. I admit I have been very fortunate with my wife, but I know personally of several poor sods who have been wiped out, financially and emotionally through meeting the wrong woman, these people just dont think the same way as western people do, its hard to explain or put in words, but its a fact. The most sensible option for the OP, he seems to have a reasonably good life in his country, would be 6 m onths here, 6 months back home, the best of both worlds. And NO PERMANENT commitments with females.

As the wonderful Royal Thai Police come under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, I guess this means all the cops are going to stay home as well, not that there will be much difference in their work output.

Its just the Thai "thing", aversion to doing anything resembling work, that might hold them up playing with their phone.

Unless my Chinese calculator is wrong, adding up the numbers given here comes to 109,801 arrivals..... What was the nationality of the missing 141,194 from the total of 251,00 quoted, or is Tourism Thailand using an even older Chinese calculator??
