Her husband is at home, I'm sure that the cats don't care who feeds them!

Sale of alcohol has never been banned. There are no curfews, they were lifted many months ago. I have never heard of any bar or restaurant that does not sell alcohol between 11 and 2. Do you know of any...specifically? Restrictions on selling alcohol for three hours a day, something that has not changed for many years, is not an alcohol ban.

Where? Almost every bar in Bangkok is open and alcohol is freely available.

Which "alcohol sales ban" is that, the one that you just made up that doesn't exist, perhaps?

That would only lead the searchers to where she had left it!

Hilarious.

But with the "LOCATION" turned on the phone can be traced. You think that a person with Alzheimer's, wandering off into a jungle for a week, is compos mentis enough to ensure that she always has her phone charged and safely with her?

You think that an Alzheimer's sufferer will be any good with a smartphone?!

Why should they? Emergency rescue services are the state's responsibility, those rescued do not get invoiced!

She is here with her family, why is being in Thailand, specifically, not a good thing for her, will she not have her ailments back in Germany?

Problem is they make you fat with the subsequent impact on health down the line, once a week works well Only a problem if they're not eaten in moderation. Anything that is over-indulged in will make you fat.

Yes, you did miss a lot of the news, obviously. Read up and come back. He didn't miss the news, there have not been 12 confirmed, unprosecuted murders there. Read up and then come back (don't read up on Mickmanus' speculative, guesswork posts on the subject, though!) .

So not "12 western murder victims", not "8 murder victims", in fact none of those that your guess referred to have been confirmed as murder victims.

Who are the twelve confirmed "murdered" westerners that you're referring to?

It's really amazing how these Thai-bashers can't stop with their "only in Thailand" rhetoric...ad nauseum.

That may be because they weren't "a couple".

He wasn't her boyfriend.

No "kids" were charged, a couple of Burmese men were, though.

Two Burmese men. There were no "kids" charged.

I wonder how that link got past the mods!

The British police solve all their cases and there's no corruption in the UK's police forces? That's completely false.

"...then no murders or death". Really?,,, "It was in a Koh Phangan bar that a 22-year-old British man was shot and killed in 2013 after getting caught in crossfire between rival gangs, while another British tourist was last seen at a full moon party before going missing ten years ago—a disappearance that Norfolk and Suffolk's Major Investigation Team is still trying to solve. It was also where a 31-year-old Israeli man was stabbed and bludgeoned to death in 2007, and has been the scene of multiple drownings". https://www.vice.com/en/article/59jqea/shrooms-raves-and-murder-how-thailands-full-moon-parties-turned-violent

That's b0llocks again, as a Thai-bashers over-generalisation.

Because it's easy, I have a permanent, indisputable record , I don't like having to get or keep track of receipts, I do not have to meet with anyone, and I'm protected against fraud by the landlord or their staff. So is cash with a receipt, I have permanent, indisputable record also and I am just as well protected against fraud! I'm not saying that bank transfers are not good, I'm saying that there is no downside to cash (apart from your paranoia of "having to meet people"!) and that bank payments are not the only way rent "should" be paid.

Utter generalization and misleading. receipt? why should keep paper for years if you can request history from the bank? You keep 'em since 1995? That's dumb thing to do, right? You may think paying cash is dumb but you haven't explained why. As I said, I've never had a problem and I haven't needed receipts from 27 years ago. You thin k that trying to order bank statements here from 27 years ago is easier than taking a receipt out of a drawer?
