Possibly paid for the service that he required but failed to receive the goods? Dunno!

The big takeaway from this is that America can never be trusted again. Not wishing to teach my grandmother to suck eggs, Thailand must now look for new trading partners for its exports.

Thailand should now recognise that America cannot be trusted, ever again. It should look for new customers and get economically closer to China. Maybe it should increase its prices even further on certain food products such as rice and shrimp and really let the American consumer suffer even worse, remembering that the American consumer is the American voter.

Maybe also put a high tax on revenue generated from Thailand by American tech companies such as that generated from Facebook, Google, Amazon ads, Netflix, Apple, etc.

This illustrates the cowardice of Thai men. 10 onto 1. His gf has shown her true colours!

Why jump from one extreme to another. Some people wish to use it as a recreational drug, just as they do with cigarettes. Banning the substance is not the answer; it will only create pushers, jail more users, waste police time.

Why not make it less available:
1. restrict the number of outlets (say 2 in Pattaya, 4 in Bangkok, etc) by charging a huge licence fee, to the highest bidders. 2. charge a very high duty on the sale of the product.

Like cigarettes the product should not be flaunted to the sight if non-users and children.

OMG. What could have been a disaster beyond imagination. f

Well done, fire crews.

FYI. I got Covid about 10 weeks ago. I suffered a lot more than the first time that i got it about 2 years ago (which was very mild), and, although the Covid lasted for a week or two, still feeling whacked out every day for the last 10 weeks.

How bloody stupid. Nearly two lives finished; the victim dead and the assailant in prison for life.

Add to that the lives of their loved ones which would have been ruined.

The lessons: 1. Do not carry killer weapons. 2. 3. 4. and more, the obvious.

1. Reduce the massive import tax on wine.

2. Restaurants should uplift the price by 50% not 100%+

3. True dinners would then start to eat out more often.

With all the things going on in the world today, how does this even make the news?

The continuing jet ski scam does not help.

Reader's cannot know the full story. There are always two sides to a story. If the whole thing was caught on CCTV then the outcome should be a simple affair.

The owners of this dangerous animal should be jailed for a very long time, maybe for life. It is about time a strong message be sent out to people who want to own such dangerous, so-called pets.

Better still, make it an outlawed breed.

Travel the world, some to exotic countries. No need to take precautions, even if you are elderly. No need to ensure that you have proper medical insurance cover. If you get ill or have an accident, just beg through gofundmesomethingorother

I worked at a government school a long time ago. An English guy who used to teach in the UK worked there and, by all accounts, was very popular. 

 

Unfortunately, one day, he made the mistake of correcting a Thai English teacher's bad English in front of a class.

 

He was sacked the next day.

Unbelievable, or maybe not!

Fundraiser (begging) again. What about the family paying; or what about insurance beforehand. Many travelers fork out for insurance. Those who dont know the consequences.; or what about a funeral in Thailand!

I thought having a place to stay was necessary to get a visa.

It is very advisable to only pay for property when a project is completed, and the payment and the transfer can be made  simultaneously. Look at what happened to all those hundreds of unfortunate buyers of the Waterfront Suites and Residences opposite Bali Hai Pier.

And you are comparing this to urinating in the airport?

Huh,

It is worse. Can cost lives!

With wines and champagne as expensive as it is in Thailand with 300% duty, Thailand attracts ONLY beer drinkers.
