Look who's talking. Here's how it goes:

- You establish illegal, unethical, and immoral businesses in Thailand.

- You run this business until you become a billionaire tycoon.

- You've established yourself enough to seemingly 'disconnect' from the same businesses.

- You enter politics and and position yourself as a person against corruption.

- You start lecturing people on what you think is morally right.

And the funny part in all this, this person is elected by the so-called educated in Thailand. Give me a break.

The difference is, he has come clean. The rest of them are still spinning the same lies to cover the same old tricks.

I forgot to add that - thanks for pointing this out.

so you have one so-called fugitive sentenced for 2 years for exercising his power for land purchase. Amazing!! What a crime!! Hundreds of other politicians (on the opposition side) may have been involved in similar type scenarios - only have not been caught. Then you have sons and daughters of the elite killing people on the roads here and there - and then escaping with suspended sentences or fleeing to Singapore. This double-standard is rampant in this society whoever be in power - reds or yellows or others. Suddenly, one side thinks it is 'ethical' to ban an amnesty bill. Totally agreed to that because everyone who is convicted must pay for their crime. However, does this solve anything? Does it solve the double-standards in society? Does it bring everyone to justice? What about the other guys who shut down the airports for 11 days? These so-called riots may appear to be of a legitimate purpose but they are nothing more than just a thirst for 'power'. And both sides are just playing a political game and we are all stuck in between.

Which country do they live in?

Truly disgusting!

This is most likely a ploy by the government to instill great fear in the general public. Then, magically, there will be a fleet of Government Taxi's that have official emblems on the doors that will be safe to use. The public will flock to these safe vehicles regardless of the price they charge and the government will start recouping the millions of baht lost by tourists who use the medical services here.

you must be watching too many movies!

I bet Valentika is 'white'.

While this it totally unbelievable as an atheist I wonder how many of the people commenting here are Christians as that is as unbelievable as the multiple lives of Buddhists. Just an other brand of mental illness that has never been supported by proof. I mean you can't slander a religion while believing in one yourself as there is no proof for any religion. Then the religious say that is done so by god to make believing a task else its too easy (there is an answer for everything)

Good point. This is really not much different than a Christian televangelist telling their sheeps,....eh, followers, that they should give generously to the church to assure themselves a place in heaven. But those televangelists don't go to jail. They get to buy vacation homes on the alps and live the life fit for a king.

Ok guys. What of the guys who risk their lives in poor and devastated areas trying to offer help, service, and assistance to others? All they're trying to do is give hope to the hopeless. I don't see how they thrive on your tax money. While institutions in themselves are evil, they do not represent anyone's beliefs or convictions in any religion as your beliefs are totally personal. Please don't generalize.

Tell her you plan to borrow the money and ask them to pay you back in installments. This is really not for the money but just a test of her 'true' commitment and respect for you. If they can't pay you back (most likely the case) but at least try to, you'd know much about her and her family from this exercise.

They used to be at 800-1000 THB a year. A week ago they charged me 2600 THB. Checked with the call-center and they said this is decision made by headquarters.

A guaranteed solution to panic attacks and sleep apnea is: full lifestyle changes. You may not realize it but there has to be something about your lifestyle now that's triggering these attacks. Don't look back - make those changes and before you know it, they'll be gone. Only you know what those changes should be.

You need no meds to do this, just commitment.

Just read on BP that the 2013 annual quota for permanent residents has been approved by the cabinet (September 10, 2013). It allows for a maximum of 100 persons per country and 50 'stateless' persons.

Does this mean the IM will start approving applications pending since 2009? Or is this only related to those who apply in December 2013?

Thanks guys.

Lots of superficiality in Thailand. Do what you think makes you happy and never regret it as I'm sure superficial people can't advise any better.

Does anyone use Fitness First? I am thinking of enrolling as my current gym is very basic and I want some classes and maybe some personal training sessions.

Is it worth the money or quite expensive with it being a multi-national company?! Any reviews or suggestions for others would be welcome.

Basically I am looking for a place which is not too far from Dusit/Victory Monument or anywhere on the BTS line as I don't mind travelling from work. Nearest Fitnes First to me in Central Pin Klao.

Expensive. Have to sign 3-4 months or a 1 year contract. Treadmills usually occupied after 6 pm. Free training sessions a waste of time. Trainers quite expensive for private sessions.

Thanks for sharing. First good news today.

I just feel healthier here. Flu and allergies - common symptoms for me back home. Thailand much better for me.

Congratulations indeed. When did you exactly apply?

Ok, you try it first.

Have done it for 3 days already, have had 5 rides without anyone complaining

Ok, you try it first.

So sorry little Marvin. R.I.P

While I do she goes back with you, I don't think she will.

So I'm not yet that pessimistic, even if I understand you all.

Djens - from your posts, you sound like a very intelligent young person who has plans for everything. You're planning options and sorting out alternatives which is good and healthy.

One thing I've learned during my long stay in Thailand and while interacting with many people around is very few seem to weigh out the risks and think alternatives. And I'm sure your wife is not all that detailed herself.

At this point, if I were you, I would take the safest way out to make sure my son stays with me. And that is do what a previous poster advised. Get back home ASAP with you son. Make sure he's settled and then get back to Thailand later and figure out how things can work out.

Do it now before it's too late.
