A parents worst nightmare

Seeing your kid grow up to be a worthless junkie is worse. Makes a parent wish they'd never had that child in the first place. All the good memories are driven out by the sleepless nights and endless lies/manipulation.

Sounds like something a ****ing drug dealer (or junky) would say to try and justify their own actions

Or a big pharma rep and the guy in the white coat with a stethoscope around his neck. 

Mr. DIY or Big C Extra would be the first places I'd look. You'll want a pure sine wave for a laptop and 500 watts should suffice. 

It's my glands!

Been working as an English teacher since 2005.  Couldn't get the same level of remuneration back home (UK), so here for good now.  Plus I now have a family here (although not Thai).

You must be a real teacher.  Are your kids being robbed of opportunities in life due to the Thai education system?  It's like overcoming a learning disorder or speech impediment. 

I came to Pattaya to take the waters.  Maybe one day I'll find them.

So it's more or less a prostitute's parade and a moronic Tattoo parade.

Anybody to top this idiotic ideas?

Or a moron's parade. The women who run in that race are clean, healthy, normal women, not prostitutes shooting tequila and taking hits off a vapourizer.   

I'm with you on the tattoos.

When you have a son as a junkie, all family bedrooms have padlocks fitted, car keys locked away and visitors told to keep handbags and valuables on their person at all times, local burglaries laid at your door.  Visits by 6 cops, search warrants and sniffer dogs descending on your home and if drugs found repairs to doors/windows at your own expense.  

 

Jail!!!!!  Do not make me laugh drugs were freely available in jail, wardens/guards are the unseen pushers to keep the so called "Krazies" calm.

 

When the nightmare does end it is usually death.

 

29th, December 2016 aged 27 my son took his life, a nightmare ended, yet to many that never directly suffered at the centre of pain, memories become kinder??  Me, mine have never changed, drugs destroy families, destroy family relationships, drugs are not innocent fun and a cheap way to happiness they are a path to conflict, loneliness and death.

  

Do not ask for my solution to drug taking and the problems, you will not like my solution nor its timescale.

 

As those two young men have found out, one with his life the haphazard way taking of drugs and thinking they are in control being smart!!!!!  usually ends in death.

I've witnessed the same thing with close friends, hence the seemingly harsh statement.  This young man's death is now a "tragedy" instead of a "thank God it's finally over".

Cool story but he's more famous and succesful at age 21 than you'll ever be posting nonsense on thaivisa at your age ... Let that sink in.

 

He was a high level pro with over 50 fights and still only 21.

Yes, he "was" all of those things and probably a lot more. Now he'll be remembered for dying like a junkie in a 700 baht flop house off of Buakhao.  

Let that sink in.

who confirmed his identity and acknowledged the charges.

Are these excited utterances or do the cops waterboard the living garbage out of these suspects?  Maybe Thailand needs some of those "free man on the land" self educated lawyer types on YouTube. 

If you squint you'll see Bob in that photo, second from the end.

Wrong as usual.  Way off base.  Your posts and replies are just bizarre and often contradictory and you seem to be in a constant state of confusion.  Maybe it is the steroids or maybe whatever causes you to go to do blood tests all the time.  What possibly went on in your head to give that ridiculous reply?  A knee jerk reaction, perhaps.  Think things through before you go into these nonsensical, baseless, ramblings.  I'm not even trying to be insulting or funny.  I wish you good health, it just seems like a mental health issue IMHO.  

What's this bed wetting thing?  I don't go through people's post histories.  These forums aren't as anonymous as one might think. 

I buy all my supplements and medical supplies from dodgy Pakis tanis.

Why has the word "contact" disappeared from the English language?

Vlad is the nickname for Vladimir, like Vladimir Putin...

Or the little actor cum dictator with lifts in his shoes.  Perhaps when that country reinstates elections he will go back to playing the piano with his dick.  He's a pretty decent dancer though, got to give him credit for that.

Please be shocked enough to go away for longer next time!

I did just that. Lo and behold, another Englishman popped up, incoherent and shirtless.  What the hell is leeching into the groundwater of that once proud nation? 

I'm shocked to have been away from the forum for a few days and log in to find yet another tale of a degenerate Brit acting as he does back home.  Who let him escape from Buakhao? They need electronic collars and invisible fences for the likes of him.

Now it's going to be very difficult to get back to your fitness 

You left it too long 

Look up "muscle memory" and get back to us. It's much easier to get back into shape after a layoff than it is go get fit for the first time.

what else can they feed them except grass   ?

 

 

They can also be fattened on corn and finished on grass or grain. They grow rapidly on corn but it's hard on their guts.  An uncle raised cattle in an organic fashion and his beef was sold the day the calves showed up at the farm.  People line up for quality beef.

Go to Buda Mountain and the museum across the road. You should like that the museum, it has a few Chinese Terracotta Warriors that are super cool along with all kinds of other great stuff. 

Great recommendations.  The Chinese temple was like an oven inside in July, despite the massive floor fans all over the place. It really is a quality attraction though, and only 50 baht.  I was surprised to find terra cotta warriors in there. 

George, you might want to check the definition of laminating. I'd go with "contemplating" .  Do you ride a motorbike?  It's easy to reach all of the major tourist attractions around Pattaya in a day. 

There's a really cool place called "Coffee War" a few minutes past Buddha Mountain that's worth a trip.  The coffee was good and only 100 baht. The price of admission is any drink, so you could go for water if coffee isn't your thing. 

Another attraction, though an hour away, is to visit Moo Deng, the world famous baby pygmy hippopotamus, at a zoo in Si Racha.

Until authorities clamp down on speedsters, the daily figures will continue.  This fact appears to have escaped RTP's notice.

The majority of Thais drive well below the speed limit and straddle both lanes, causing people who aren't timid to fight to get around them.

Everyday same sad stories. Will they ever learn?

Hypothetical question😵‍💫

Learn what?

The guy driving the truck had just pulled a graveyard shift at the port. Have you ever worked a graveyard shift?

,I hired a Grab motorbike taxi 39 baht from Jomtien to Pattaya,

Even 50 baht for that trip seems low.  I pay over the odds for a few things because I hate the economic race to the bottom. The old taxi fares were rape, with quite a few (but not all) drivers going for the throat. Now they're all paying the price whilst large multinational corporations are making the lion's share of the profit.  There's a balance somewhere in the middle where both parties can walk away feeling ok about the transaction.  

Last year I had a great massage woman in her late 40s who was skilled and as strong as a rice farmer (yes, she was a woman). The shop charged 200 baht per hour for Thai massage, so of course the women try to jack off the customer to make the extra money. 

Proper Thai massage is damned hard work, especially during high season when they're busy for 12 hours per day.  I paid 500 baht per hour for an excellent massage that relieved some serious knots, and didn't have to put up with being pestered to pay for something that is taken care of by someone younger.
