Nationwide send me a monthly statement, new cards, a card reader to my Thai address no problem at all.

Yes mate pay nothing and welch off the people that have paid in for thirty years and continue to do so.

Want more money, try working for it.

GGGRRRRRRRRRRR

Around Wat sawangarom is the area [north end of Rawai beach]

There has been a spate of burglaries in Rawai again including the two houses next to me in the last week, in one the burglar hid in the roof until the owner had left before committing the crime and escaping.

Just a reminder to be vigilant and always lock your doors and windows even if you are in the house, any unattended room is easy prey.

Reckon this will only get worse if the coming high season is a low spending bust.

You do anything to Bangla it can only improve it !

A small nuke would be the most cost efficient.

Oh God don't get me started on this crap, build two marinas that boats of mediocre length can actually get into not very often, then put another in a location that can be wiped out in an on season storm, and pray it never happens.

There is 1 marina here that comes any near a proper marina.

If this place ever wants to be considered as a hub for anything you have to give the service not the bullshit.

You want the dosh deliver the service.

My arse, why would they care? Mercs are cheaper for the haves as is all western goods.

Do you honestly think the haves care about the have nots in this country?

Sorry if this in the wrong section Mods.

I am in urgent need for a 6 bedroom pool villa for two weeks from 27th December in the Rawai, Nai Harn area, 2 3bed villas next to each other is ok.

Willing to pay for a months rental even though it will only be occupied for two weeks.

PM me please if you know of anywhere.

My lawyer/accountant is excellent PM me if you want her address.

My daughter

Litter bins

good manners [not Thai bashing farangs are worse]

Fair minded cops not on the take

Autumn

Ice cold stella that stays cold more than thirty seconds

Pastureized milk though Villa now sell it yippeeeeee.

An ok public transport system.

Tradesmen that actually know what they are doing.

Good quality service.

There are loads and loads of things I don't miss though so it all evens out in the end.

Not true

Nationwide sent me one without me even asking, just plug it into your computer and away you go.

The reader was even free.

Ask Nationwide to send you a card reader, you can transfer up to 10,000 pounds at any 1 time for the price of 1 atm withdrawl. And from the comfort of your own home.

Its all been said before, he is being held because he violated his bail conditions whilst in the UK by coming to Thailand.

And you don't really need a premeditated plan to do a runner, there are many ways to leave if you really need to.

And if Thailand presents a formal request with compelling evidence and an assurance of no death penalty then extradition is possible.

He can appeal to the European courts after that about the conditions here etc.

Thats it, not rocket science.

Pissing around in sheltered waters here is one thing even without any safety gear.

Get up past Korea towards Japan and even further North and it is a different kettle of fish and rescues up there are hazardous.

I am all for human adventure but this potentially endangers others and as such should be stopped.

Driving here? Compared to the Arc De Triomphe in Paris this is nothing.

And whilst these idiots pursue their "dream' is it ok to endanger the lives of those who will have to rescue them?

Really, miles out at sea, no waterproof marine radio, no flares, no lifejackets?

Udon airport car park has a sign that says Please cut out engine !

No unless he is found guilty in his absence from Thailand. Quite simply it can't be a civil case.

Bloody hel_l Certified, you have the right name,from your ranting it seems you should be!!

FYI to extradite from the UK an official request has to be made with compelling FACTUAL evidence, DNA, fingerprints, eyewitnesses etc.

The UK follows all international guidlines and not the current gung ho american thinking of justice.

UK will not extradite to countires that carry out the death penalty, even to that haven of civilised behaviour, the US, unless assurances are given that the death penalty will not be imposed. They also have to be assured that basic human rights will be adhered to.

To summarise this particular person will serve what is left from his parole violation in the UK [first crime takes precedence] then IF the Thai authorities present a request with evidence on the ALLEDGED crime and assurances that there will be no death penalty the Home Sec will consider the request.

As none of the above have been completed yet how can be extradited??

Morning coffee next to davincis for me.

Piengrudee's response is typical of what is holding Thailand back.

Like it or not it is now a global economy and communications is one of the prime factors for any company wishing to invest.

Thailand is one of the few remaining economies that wish to compete in the world and yet cannot abide any foreigner having a real say in the economy.

In most modern economies Germans cotrol electronics in other countires, Americans technology, Britain investment services etc etc. The world doesn't come to an end. Indeed countries that receive the investment benefit from tax revenue, employment, better health care etc.

It seems much more preferable to protect TOT etc as they are Thai. Whilst this continues whose fault will it be when the investment gains over the last thirty years start to evaporate?

Probably the nasty farang companies who provide jobs, pay taxes etc.

Still better to protect the few on the gravy train and keep falling behind the rest of Asia.

Actually body language is a science that psychologists, police and loads of others use.

It is quite precise results wise. Think you should research it a bit more before passing half assed judgements.

Perhaps you need to go beyond body language for dummies to give a qualified opinioin.

Everything is fine TOT have told us.

Forget yellow shirts closing airports, riots in BKK, the overpriced Baht.

And it will all be someone elses fault when it turns tits up.

Comedians is a polite term for this lot.

Seems that morality and ethics are lost on Thai's and most farangs that are here.

Might make you a quick buck but it lessens you as a person and the ethics you embrace will bite you on the ass one day. Sooner rather than later I hope.

There is a saying, if it seems too good to be true then it is. This applies even more in LOS
