You recon?

Bit late as the time limit is almost up.

My wife's family did that with her sister, gave the dowry and the money from the party to them which helped them buy a house. My wife and I didn't have a party as it was close behind her sisters and her father didn't think it was right for people to pay twice so close. Then again we didn't pay a dowry. Some families are good. Oh and my wife according to thai tradition was dowry qualified plus has a degree.

Your 100%.

Wow! Your family must feel really safe with you as it's head. Just what a coward would say. Sometimes it's the only way for a MAN! Should deal with a situation. One hit, he didn't hit him when he was down. Just a tragic accident that he hit his head. I hope the Brit gets treated justly "500baht" fine, as a Thai would but then again 6 or more Thai's would have attacked him, with kicks and stomps to his head when down.... these things happen. The lesson is don't touch any female inappropriately especially another man's wife. Note: At 35 I would have done the same, god even at 55 infact I have one last rodeo in me so I still would hit anyone who inappropriately touched my wife or daughter when out. I think the Brit showed great restraint only hitting him once.

Open your ears and eyes. I suppose the old couple and their son a few years ago who got a severe gang kickdown ending in hospital and very serious injuries was a figment of the imagination. Wake up for god sake or does it make you feel safe victim blaming? This could very easily happen to you so better lock your door and hide under your bed....

You think! Plus a few additional tracking chips.

One of the reasons I finally had enough of living in Thailand was waking up to a line of police vehicles on my drive and on the street (6++ vehicles). Visa check! I had been doing 90 day and annual visa trips for 8 years. Same house (my house) same immigration office. So you are very lucky not to be harrased yet. Oh and the obligatory photo with all the police and me next to my house.

Time to stop giving Thailand aid.

You are a brave man. China is the capital of fake and you would risk buying gold from there. Just watched a YouTube of a Chinese woman cutting her gold bar to find a silver core. When you buy gold you buy from reputable supply countries. Swiss, UK, Canada, USA etc Germany is also trusted as is Australia. China = fake: rice, eggs, meat even noodles. They have also saturated the pharmacy industry with fake medicines including life saving medicines which havedirectly caused peopleto die. Good luck with China.

Really? It was very dodgy flying in 1939~1945. This was a bizzar occurance. The moral of the story is keep your seat belt on. I feel for the passengers especially Mrs Davies and hope her back orts itself out. Cuts and bruise heal.

So many racists on here. Self haters, in my opinion are the lowest of the low. Regardless of where he was from this is behaviour not restricted to race as it could easily have been a Thai behaving badly. There are just D. Head people.

I hate tuk tuks with venom. From having my phone stolen back in 2005 and then the ride from hell I had in April culminating in a back injury. The guy was throwing the tuk tuck about putting it up on 2 wheels several time and going over speed bumps at full speed. Never again. I blame.e the tuk tuk driver for not paying attention and driving to fast for the conditions. Unless the pedestrian ran into the road he should have been able to notice and slow down. Tragedy. Get in a taxi the prices are near enough the same.

Not really, it's just kids dabbling/trying the cocktail of drugs easily available now (well always were) in Thailand, or drinking hard and their meds stop working.

Take her travelling! Strange.

And when is Thailand returning said stolen jewellery to Saudi? Ah shhhhh can't talk about Blue diamonds and who was seen wearing it....

Where are the haters and victim blamers? Why was the Abbott not tucked up in bed a sleep at 11:26pm or 23:26?

Really! Your having a laugh.? The majority of young tourists (under the age of 50). What a sheltered life you must have had.

OMG! Just can't help yourself. Victim Blaming at its best. A group of Thai men and he is stabbed "it is attempted murder" just what you expect on holiday NOT!

Nice to see someone on here who has taken off the rose coloured glasses. To the man in Surrey (a very beautiful part of the UK), try Witherspoons its very cheap for food and booze, try some of the clubs. Booze in the shops is far cheaper than Thailand and more on offer. Wine, whisky, rum and bourbon never mind the beer quality. We left Thailand in 2019 and back then and headed back to the UK. I did the comparison in costs and it worked out far more cheaper to live in the UK. fuel is more expensive but in the UK I don't drive 60km a day on school run in a 3lt ford Everest, the education is far better in the UK and the opportunity for my children is far better. My daughter plays violin, horse ridding lessons 3 times a week and plays football for her school. I think it is very selfish when expats drag their children to thailand. I did shop in Tops and Big C as I refused to buy meat with flies crawling all over it. Do I love Thailand Yes, do I miss Thailand Yes and I miss my house in Thailand. However a month a year on holiday in Thailand is OK for now (4 months would be better). Yes I hate getting high energy bills but we are still better off because my children's future is high on my priority list. Oh and health care in Thailand is risky and very expensive (my car and big bikes were my health insurance in Thailand and that worked out well as I sold them when we left). My wife and children have private health care in the UK which is cheap, I'm to old and broken so just have NHS which is better than nothing. My car is also far cheaper in the uk than Thailand (top spec CX5 made in Japan (£36,000) far more expensive in Thailand.

How sad and people are anti IDF for doing what we should be doing. To beat terrorists you must use terror. The Russians had the right idea when their nationals were kidnapped for ransom . No Russian has ever been targeted since. All leaders of Hamas should be legitimate targets and regardless of the country giving them sanctuary, eliminated!!!

Really! How many climate predictions have been massively wrong? 20, 30, 40++. Great lakes dry~ highest levels on record, no ice caps ~ ice cap growth, polar bear extinction ~ growth in population so much so they are breading with brown bears.... oh let's not talk about islands underwater, London under water, miami coastline underwater, that's the area certain cult members have multi million dollar beach front property! Anyone feeling stupid yet?

Nasty! Both derogatory to the Thai girl and to the poster who most likely posted a tongue in cheek comment. I take great offence at your comment as I'm married to a Thai woman (20 years) of exceptional moral character and well educated and never seen inside a bar. We have two children. So stop being nasty. Phew!!!

The cult were screaming Global Warming causing the great barrier reef dying until it slipped out it was infact growing. The Cult changed their mantra to Climate Change. Something this spining rock has been doing for billions of years. Anyone for an Ice age? Trash and sewage kills reefs/corals. Dead coral is white.

Sorry to disappoint but in the UK digital is stuttering as people have started to revert back to cash.
