Absolutely. They are utterly dogmatic about time, breaking time down into 15 minute segments. Hear it from other 'farangs' married to Thais. I put it down to fact a lot of them end up being single Mums with just an elderly relative helping around childcare etc, so time and scheduling becomes of the essence! (Or in my dark humour moments I ask her if during WW2 Thais ran the Japanese POW camps)?????? If I'm out doing errands and in my Mrs' head she thinks I should be taking no longer than one hour then God help me on 61 minutes when my mobile switches to constant ringing even though I may be driving. When I answer the stock questions are, "Where you now? Why you late? Followed by the accusations I've sloped off for some Boom Boom with other lady!! (Bloody chance would be a fine thing)! Same impatient attitude problems with her daughter, unsurprisingly. If something is not to her timeplan, (whatever it may have been as she rarely gives any advance notice), then "BOOM" off she goes like the proverbial bomb, aka: Thai psycho! In essence urban Thais are so impatient, especially the female variety. It's why the husbands go and hang out with mates. Gives their wives something else to complain about instead of them trying to understand the psychology and effect of their actions. Ditto why globally men take up golf, fishing or crickey. A reason to be out the house for hours on end not just minutes!

"Another example of how thai people cannot control their anger and lack any after thought of their consequences..." Steven100. You hit the nail right on the head there, with your observation. I can back that up every day with my situation, (mother & her 10year old daughter). Does'nt matter how blunt or loud I proclaim the fact you mention, neither ever listen or want to understand or learn. Thais should come with a health warning stamped on them, like cigarette manufacturers are forced to provide on their product packaging.

Superpimp? Big Joke? Whatever next?? Honest Joe - Prime Minister Dough-Nut - A northern province's chief of police. Sue Kee Coch - Chief of Thai Ethics Committee, (Prostitution Branch).

Thailand. Reading this news channel each morning shows what a "Big Joke" Thailand is and provides a great comedy fix. I'm surprised no media exec has'nt found this and gone, "Hey we could make a 9pm comedy slot out of this"! The Thai Die News Today show.. ????

Absolutely, and as the victim was a British citizen should'nt the UK police / authorities now have him in their custody and charged, seeing as this perpetrator is back on European soil? (Maybe he's already flown off elsewhere on another fake passport). Or does co-operation around things like this not happen in European circles?

Even less incentive to revisit Foo-Kit in the future. Corrupt Thais. Racist Thais. Overpriced and over-rated holiday destination. Throw in hordes of Soviets. What more could anybody want at the end of a £1,200 rip-off return flight ticket??

11% were sold to foreign buyers it states in the article, totally undermining the statement in the headline to the article. Were these journos trained at the hands of Murdoch's media empire at The Sun? Rubbish editorial content yet again! Anyway, based on Thai construction quality I cannot see how these high price tags are justified, other than if the view of the ocean is stunning, which has become the norm in many other countries...

Well what a surprise. A cozy in power army government respects the will of the people, NOT! They're probably being advised by China and Myanmar's generals how to crush any forthcoming dissent. Coups, martial law etc etc. A perfect recipe to destruct their vital tourism industry revenues. I wonder where the Phuket Soviets will move too if it does kick off, perhaps they'll enlist? ????

WTF! Thais are much better parents?? Well if you like your schooling and upbringing theories to be that of the Victorian era, it may well be. But from my first hand experience of living with my Thai wife of 46 and her 10-year old daughter, I'd say the exact opposite is true. All I know is that Thai Psychosis would make a great dissertation topic for a degree! And that in our town our hard pressed social services and police team are too underskilled at knowing how the Thai psychosis works to understand how to diagnose the 10year old fledgling psycho! I really can't be arsed with providing a sponsorship for their family visa much longer, seeing as they both show no respect to this country, other people around us along with me and my family. They do like Sterling however! No, not the useless Liverpool and Man City reject, but the financial variety of Sterling!

What another Thai scam to extort money from people coming to enjoy themselves in Thailand, while they are spending money for the Thai's economy! Really does look like the country is run by inbred red necks. Plenty of other welcoming destinations to visit, that don't have such stupid priced airfares to boot, that are higher up my wish list now!

Re: Thai cannabis. Does Chuwit chew it, or does he smoke it? ????

What another controlling, short fused psychotic Thai female with psychiatric problems? Well, I never there's todays big surprise about the human race. Whatever next?

Of course in a sunny country it makes no sense to have a massive state investment in solar power and battery storage? I mean why use an abundant, free natural resource, ie: sunshine to power all the A/C units in the country. And yeah I know, when its dark there's no power generation, so therefore you either generate electricity from natural gas as per the present method, or you instal battery storage solutions. Of course though these Thai generals don't want imports flooding their domestic market, so they lump on massive import duties which simply makes the hardware required to generate electricity way expensive! Inward looking military inbreds!

So far during 2023, my 10 year old stepdaughter aka 'psycho Thai', has smashed 2 of her Mum's phones when she's having her psychotic outbursts. She's living in the UK at present, note at present. Hoping to get curtailment on their family visas issued by Home Office at about the same time as they fly back to Thailand for 5 weeks in July's school holidays.

Yet another reported news item today that can sum up Thai culture and typical character traits in one phrase, (as reported in another Asean Now article), 'It appears they had psychiatric problems". Yep, that's right. They all have! When their red mist descends they respect nobody or nothing! Even my 10 year old psycho Thai stepdaughter says when she argues, "She argues until she wins". Even if that means arguing for 16 hrs one Sunday, having numerous police incident numbers against her name, draws a knife, headbangs the floor or wall, ends up so stressed and angry she hyperventilates and now has a case social worker trying to figure her out from a 'British psychology' perspective!! I've learned the old adage is very true re: Thais.. "You can take the girl out of Thailand, but you can't take Thailand outta the girl"!

"Psychiatric problems"??? Nothing new in that, she's Thai and female! That in itself is usually enough to equate to "psychiatric problems"! I've a wife and step-daughter that I can use as evidence to back that fact up!

If they, TAT / Police want credibility, why don't they carry out searches in bars frequented in the main by Russians? Or have / are the swathes of Soviet immigrants paying tasty 'baksheesh' to local TAT officers to turn the other cheek while siphoning their roubles through the Thai banking system out of view of sanctions?

Not far north of Ayutthaya about 15 to 20 minutes on a train you will arrive at LopBuri. Very quiet, lots of temples to wander around including those with ,000's of monkeys. Compact to wander around with little traffic either. If at any point you've had enough and wish to get back on the train I was never more than 10minutes walk from the station on my wandering tourist trail.

Looks like there's a lot better choices of places to visit and spend your mullah in these days compared to Thailand. Anywhere that hasn't opened it's arm, (and legs), to Chinese and Soviet hordes for example. Anywhere that isn't so blatantly corrupt and contemptible towards the foreign visitors coming to spend their hard earned.

You also need a skilled, motivated, reliable workforce capable of consistent quality output and working harmoniously in groups for the benefit of the company's economic prospects and not the 'do it quick, bodge it and pay up' mentality that exists!

He obviously did'nt offer, (or have), enough baht to 'pay' the officer who checked his passport on the street. Maybe if he had been Chinese or Russian, it would have been a different story

Aren't all Thais of unsound mind and disposition, liable to extreme psychosis at the flick of a switch, especially that of the female Thai variety. Surprised David Attenborough's BBC Natural History unit has never done a season on "Wild Thai"! And they would'nt have to spend months in malarial zones, up to their armpits in mud, nor risk venomous snake bites! ????

Future Park at Rangsit is really good. Not difficult to get to from DMA and there's an Ibis just across the car park lot where coukd stay if your shopping trip is a big one!

Only 30 - 40 years, you sure?? Thais seem to be culturally, mentally, psychologically stuck in an equivalent to the west in the 1950's, (pre Elvis and rock n roll 1950's too.

Wish my Thai wife was blank. She's more complex than Hadron Collider!
