  1. And: Kill birds as they fly into them. Recycle them is digging a big hole where it takes hundreds of thousands of years polluting the soil. Oh and my classic, they have to use a diesel generator to start them but only when the wind is right, to slow can't work, to fast can't work but people are making loads of dosh from governments making them.
  2. Didn't the military vouch for them working?
  3. Shaking my head in disbelief unless your talking about the military.
  4. OMG! So taking a country at the end of a gun is a slight infraction of the law. The most currupt of all are those in uniform. Becoming billionaires on quite a modest salary! Pull the other one...
  5. You must live in a rose coloured bowl. Open your eyes and if you live in a village take an interest. Yes it happens a lot. Quite common for a Thai family to let the Boyfriend stay to prevent daughter running away but normally reslts in a pregnant daughter. I remember a 16 year old ran away so not to marry her 50 year old fiancee who had paid the dowry and helped her family out. He got the police involved. His demand was money back or to marry her younger sister. Yes he was Thai and yes she came back and married him.
  6. One side view. 99.9% of tourists who rent motorbikes. Starting to look like a shakedown gone wrong.
  7. One way to get through customs and a free bed for the night in London. Very cunning plan Baldrick!!!
  8. Shake down gone wrong maybe. And, must of drawn his pistol to have it taken from him so easy. To draw a firearm on a speeding charge???
  9. Could this not as easily be a shake down gone bad. Policeman pulls his pistol and has it taken off him. They didn't try to take it, they disarmed him. Good chance the pistol was drawn.
  10. What utter nonsense! I was living and working in Thailand when Mr T was the right full and voted for PM. Everything was rosie for expats, life was free of persecution, border runs a thing of life. Everything changed with the coup and the persecution started: Visa rules changed, schools started replacing native speaking teachers with Philippine teachers and the list goes on. Same again happened with the recent coup. 800k, 400k requirements and more persecution....
  11. For Thai's "Yes"! 500bht a day compared to about 4,000baht a day in France.
  12. Mr T who I personally do not like was the elected PM by the people and as was his sister. A coup is the highest form of treason and the leaders of said coups should be punished accordingly to their crimes. T. Has done far less than those you seem to support. Billionaire generals ammassing fortunes on very basic pay from a system the promotes on "purchase power" in which scum and most currupt always rises to the surface. You seem to have forgotten the jack boot at the neck of Thailand imprisoning every threat from people travelling on a train to the eating of sandwiches and never forget the brave nurse who witnessed unarmed murders.....
  13. Actually we did and if you knew anything about history you would also. What a bizzare thing to say about Africa. You sound as if you think Africans should still be in mud huts killing each other and slave trading each other. These things were stopped under British colonisation. Only an idiot would say that Africa is better now and more prosperous after we left. People should never forget GB stopped piracy at the cost of over 3,000 British sailors and freed slaves at a cost which left Britain with a debt it only recently paid off. Phew!!!
  14. Stupid is, stupid does. People like me, are you some sort of racist? I still have property in Thailand, I've lived and worked in Thailand since 2002 and since 2005 came across the early Thai visa (I think) for advertising jobs. I am married to a Thai and we have two children, so I think I've earned the right to comment. Why would I worry or be jealous about Thai visa earning as they have provided a service to expats for years. With your name I imagine a sad little nobody who has seen nothing and done nothing, hitting a keyboard in their fantasy world. Sad very sad.
  15. You do not touch, just look was and is the rule. The only thing you should ever take to the surface is rubbish or lost gear you come across. It's only Thais who getaway with desecration of the sea.
  16. So very bitter. I think the biggest draw for Northern Hemisphere people to come to Thailand is the weather and way of life. I have a house in Thailand we built and lived in before moving back to the UK in 2019. I can assure you that we never ever lived in 5,000baht rooms or sustained ourselves with 50baht noodles on the street but we did add well over 1,000,000baht of foreign currency to the Thai economy every year. Including buying 2 new vehicles and 4 big bikes and building a house. And their are a lot of expats who spend a lot more money than we did. Thailand needs expats and should wake up and start treating them with respect because one day they may stop moving to thailand and start going somewhere more welcoming. Lots of warm countries are already starting to be very inviting to us. Thailand is not the centre of the universe and if not for my wife I would never set foot in Thailand again. Give a bank 800,000baht of your money for the pleasure of living in Thailand, a country that despises you. "Use must be mad".
  17. Think you will find a lot of suicides attributed to Facebook posts and bulling on Facebook around the world.
  18. Really! Internal airports are not that bad in the uk until strikes occur, then they are Hell. However, you do get support and compensation unlike !!!
  19. Escape from hospital! I never new thai hospitals were prisons. Thank god we in the UK ended the Toll booth/prison for debt. Debt should be a civil mater and not criminal.
  20. Took me a long time to find and a lot of really bad mistakes. 😆
  21. Used to be 500 when the bars closed. So a friend told me.....
  22. Gen Z or whatever is being produced now are so self serving, selfish, me, me, me types. So at 22, with no real money behind him thinks he can live and work in Thailand, as what? A receptionist because, that seems to be his only qualification! Scuba diving instructor a possibility but that takes money and time or a teacher but no degree. Bat Sh!T Crazy! Deluded, wake up kid, get a job or start a business in the uk, make your money then come to Thailand to loss it......
