scammed

the way the virus works is,

it infect if you are working/eating/drinking,

but you are safe if you throw concrete bricks

and demolish property, 

its biology, its science

on the bright side there is no scantily clad girls

shouting welcome hansum man,

on the downside i note there is a no parking sign,

c'est la vie

I'd suggest doubling that plus housing and car expenses. That is if you can speak Thai and eat Thai food. 40K/mo is cheap charlie range, IMO.

as was foretold by the oracle

Do you guys not realize that most Indian restaurants in Pattaya are now closed...

 

99% of Indian restaurants customers are Indians....1% farang....0% Thai

 

The 100s of Indian restaurants were already running on fumes....Now they are completely 100% stone cold dead... 

 

The Indian restaurants have a BAD BAD reputation with farangs that they WILL NEVER be able to recover from of very high prices and so-so food...Without Indians they might as well start digging a mass grave to bury them all in and have the funeral..

 

 

I guess there are still a few open...  

i dont interact with falangs into indian food so i wouldnt know,

but they have a bad rep among thais, being unclean, 

if that is referring to hygiene procedures or plain racism i do not know

Are you for real?

 

So today all bar owners make pictures without a single customer on it, where before they would do just the opposite to brag how successful they were? Yeah sure

not in gogo bars, open air beer bars may be different

Yes, it is. And I’m paying a lot of “beggars”. Which most of the people commenting in these threads with mediocre spelling don’t. 

list the reasons as to why you think its good to hand out unconditional allowance

This has to be, IMO, a windup.

For a start, IMO, financially secure, well educated, attractive non BG Thai women don't want to marry farangs.

depends on how presentable you are, t-shirt, tattoos, & flip flops isnt fashion here

It’s good that we Europeans are helping each other.
 

It’s disappointing that we still don’t have enough balls to punish the Eastern-European populists and enemies of democracy. 

no it isnt  lest you are one of the beggars

the traffic here is dangerous even if it has actually improved a whole lot,

theres no telling if you are going get cut off next split second,

there is not a whole lot to do about it beside a, drive slower so it dont hurt so much,

or b, drive a car, but plan b means more waiting in the traffic jam and harder to find a parking slot. mark my words, right of way is a concept entirely lost here,

or ever invented

 Sure, if you think so.

 

No, there was no mob, and the peaceful protesters did not break into private property.

 

I think you've been scammed.

 

 

a video shows one of the leaders telling the mob to enter the private property,

at this point in time the video show the right gate was intact,

the video you posted from the aftermath show the right gate was broken,

so the destruction happened in between that interval.

the reporter you posted clearly states it was private property,

hens the mob had already commit crime and was trespassing

before the citizens armed them self and went out to deter them

Of course, you should feel free to "prove it".

 

 

"there is a portion of the gate that is broken",

and the mob broke into their private property.

Nope.

 

Disproven, keep up or move aside.

 

 

 

 

disproven by you ? where is your evidence ?

most foreigners dont work here, is not part of any social group, does not speak thai,

that seriously limits the chances of meeting potential partners,

whats left is bar girls.

another factor is sheer laziness, and lack of incentive,

why make an effort in the first instance ?

Read the article and try basic comprehension . It is not that difficult, expounding an invalid theory does nothing to create credibility for you.

 

"protesters damaged a wrought-iron gate at an entrance to the wealthy neighborhood."

that means in plain english that the mob used force to make it into the citizens property,

the mob was counting on numerical superiority to deter retaliation for damaged property,

while the citizen was counting on his firearm to deter further attacks towards him or his property.

the question we haev to ask is: why did the mob intrude on the property in the first place ? why did they use force to invade ?

2 minutes ago, RJRS1301 said:

No their plan was to protest to attempt to get the mayor to resign, until your invalid theory. Read the article first.

why did they invade this citizens property ?

Proof of other "prey" is ?

They were on the way PAST the house to another destination if you read the article, but hey what have facts to do with your theory?

they carried on to next victim in line cause this victim was armed and willing to defend.

this is the only way to meet bullies such as the mob,

the mob attacks because they have numerical superiority

So what was the point of pointing the guns?  For a bit of fun?  Or as a threat that they might shoot someone? 

 

My faculties that are as operational as they need to be; but thanks for your concern.

 

PH

deterrence, and it worked, the mob backed off, deciding there was easier prey to be had

Never paid a single bribe to immigration and always do my extension of stay myself and mail my 90 day forms. No problem at all. Not rocket science and not a big deal. If you are leaving Thailand because of immigration “problems” something is wrong with you or you are broke. 

lucky you, but that is not the norm

Size matters, the MC rider bet and lost. This is the problem with riding too fast, you can't make corrections fast enough.

a definite assessment isnt possible since theres no video,

but it sounds to be the biker was only betting that the trucker wouldnt cut him.

the issue is that many here dont understand right of way,

the trucker being ahead thought that gave him right of way in all four lanes,

maybe he think making a signal gave him right of way to cut the biker ?

ime, the advises to workout when you are saturated by injuries were dead wrong every time
