Such hatred for expats. Why oh why? Do you realise if all expats left tomorrow emptying their accounts the results for Thailand would be very serious and quite possible cause a run on thai banks.

The more desperate Thai's become the more dangerous Thailand becomes. One of the reasons we left was the known 400,000 ~ 800,000 baht target on my back. Whole families in Thailand have been tortured then murdered for less.

Why? The people who should be in prison are those generals who stole the country at the end of a gun from the elected PM's and their government. Especially the one who ordered the shooting of unarmed civilians at the temple then took over the elected government just as he was about to go on trial and hounded the very brave nurse who witnessed all as she gave aid... They are the true criminals.

Why do people still spout this? The colonial powers saw Thailand as a useful buffer border and that's why Britain never colonised Thailand. Thailand only lasted minutes against Japan who colonised Thailand and then joined Japan fighting against the allies and also should have paid war retribution's but usa wanted a foot hold in Asia. The "lost on the post excuse" makes one laugh.

Þhe thought of buying a wife repulsive for civilised people. My wife is very beautiful, well educated and a virgin (when we married) and I did not have to buy her. The other point is according to Thai tradition one a virgin = dowry. Don't pay.

Some years ago thai vegetables and herbs were tested and all found to be poisonous and some being deadly: parsley was the worst I think.

What crazy advice! Maybe he should be telling the criminal generals who amass fortunes in quite a low paying rolls not to take over the country at the end of a gun.

Look at how well the country did under his leadership and that's why. GDP 12 to 14% or more I think.

Dribble or you don't know many intelligent people. Being intelligent is not the same as being clever and some of the really intelligent people I have known are quite stupid away from their chosen field. Reasons people buy electric cars to start off was financial (government incentives even free electric chargers etc which now have all stopped) look at me now it's a tick box exercise. Any one with half a brain that looks into the production of the rare metals and still buys a ev is quite a damaged individual. Then to have a time bomb in your home is a risk I would never take infact I would not now allow my children to ride in a ev. Note UK: People so easily forget a few years ago it was diesel engines good so people purchased them then the switch and road tax went through the roof for them as diesel now bad.

Took you 6 years to realise this? Lol. Welcome to Thailand's. Soon your rose coloured glasses will clear and boy your in for a shock!

Kangaroo Court convictions. Both were duly elected by the people and would be again. The real criminals are those with tanks and guns who invade their own country to take power at the end of a gun. While they walk free I would show some humility... shhhhhh

You also don't see other countries parading people with visa breaches on TV!!!

Just hadto victim blame. How dare anyone say anything negative about Thai's...... Heshould have paid 200,000baht compensation oh I forgot that's when aborigines hits a Thai.

Sorry they are dwarfed by the military.

As requested by the CCP!

Have you ever lived in rural Thailand as there are many roads just like this one obviously minus the power line poles....

He is right! My Thai wife was refused a lottery ticket in tesco Scotland (it is stricked): she was mid 20's and pushing our 2 year old son in his pushchair and I was with her. You can go into a pub if accompanied with an adult in the uk but can't buy alcohol.

It was my reaction to comment regarding teachers generally so my comment is valid. Male's who become teachers are not deviant as the post stated.

People forget that Mr T. Was the most successful Thai PM with 14% gdp and more. Table positions in education especially English were far higher under his watch as was corruption was far lower. I never liked him but the Thai people did and he was the best person for the job. Being an ex soldier I hold any soldier who takes over their elected government with disdain.

Only if he promised to marry them. Give gifts as bf/gf then tough. There has to be a contract be it verbal or written is my understanding. If the if the investment was a business venture that never happened then that is fraudulent and criminal.

Just had to copy your image as it covers so many on here.

They just can't help themselves! Rising sea levels? Please. Correct headline should be "Poorly constructed cost road washed away" suspected corruption involved!!! Just looking at this a blind man can see it wasn't constructed correctly: where is the breaker, where is the sea wall?

Strange mind set! Teaching in the uk is quite well paid with both excellent working conditions and pension so a very strange statement. Like a lot of career choices it is a vocation which can give great satisfaction seeing your students excel under your guidance. Please don't tar them with gutter mentality!

If you did that then the generals may find it difficult to tell them to take arms against their own people.

Why do some people come on here who obviously have deep racist hatred for non thai people? If you hate us so much why are you wasting your time on here?
