Thailand remains in Tier 2 on latest US Trafficking in Persons report
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not quite, they need a boat that can take them a few miles off the coast of France (helped by the French) then our treasonous political elite have them picked up and taken to the UK, put up in 5 star hotels even having their own doctors and dentists then given pocket money along with free meals. -
MFP Leader Wins Two Digit Prize in Today’s Lottery Draw
BritScot replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's only 4,000 baht. For a man of his stature very insignificant. He should of immediately given the 4,000baht to charity and then it would grow in significantly in worth. -
Thailand boosts tourism budget to 5bn baht, targets off-peak travellers
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not at all! Kow tao is spelt many different ways like many Thai words including places. Khow Taow etc. I speak very little Thai for two simple reasons: first when I was teaching I witnessed foreign teachers using their class who they were meant to be teaching English practicing their Thai which I felt was very wrong. Second my children are bilingual as I have only spoken English to them and their mother speaks Thai to them (even now living in the uk). I also found when living in Bangkok there is enough English words now in Thai vocabulary than understanding conversations is easy. -
Foreigners Rounded Up In Surat Thani Crackdown

Now they are and have been for a few years. Have some advice for you which I was given as a newbie in Thailand "Never invest more in Thailand than you can comfortably just walk away from". -
Foreigners Rounded Up In Surat Thani Crackdown
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Think you need to check your memory. I was living and working in Thailand during Taksin and the coup. Life was great when Thaksin was the big boss then the coup!!! things changed including attitudes towards expats. English teachers were replaced with "pilipean" teachers. Visa rules changed and droves of expats left me included. -
JSCCIB Urges Preparedness for Climate Change Impact on Economy
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I can't read this cult nonsense. We used to laugh at the man in the street with billboard saying "The end is near". Since the 1940's the world had been going to freeze, burn up, no ice sheet to much ice now climate change (which is and always has changed. 40 to 0. Is the definition of madness believing this time!! -

One day your rose coloured glasses will clear and by then it will most likely be to late for you and like many become trapped. In your eyes I probably know nothing but with only first landing in Thailand in 2002, living island life on Kow Tow which then was a paradise (not anymore), living the Bangkok life and also rural southern Thailand and things are not rosey at all. TAT are a joke, Thailand should be a holiday wonderland and not far off perfect but greed and theft of funds it regressed instead of progressed. Roads and infrastructure are non existent (being disabled and holidaying in Thailand is a no no then there is the Mafia in the form of police, taxi military and the risk of being attacked or bitten by rabid dogs or thai men oh and the deadly roads. If I did not have family there I would never set foot in the place but hay I know nothing. -
The dog should be put down and compensation paid (million plus) as those are lifetime facial scares. I hate seeing dogs not on a leash because you never know. I hate idiots who say "I have total control of my dog" No you do not as the unexpected can happen. My dogs were always lashed unless working on a shoot.

Swedish bank notes now useless abroad
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I can't believe people cheer cashless society! Have they not learned anything? Canada freezing Bank accounts was bad enough just imagine governments with specific power like "you have had your 2 beers this week so no more beer or your carbon credit exceeds your allocation as a nothing person so no heating/aircon/electricity or no meat... wake up for heaven sake!!! -

Try educating yourself. First go research direct to places like UK. GOV website where facts are shown and not spin from vested interest xxxxx (can't call them people). Even the UK had to stop this nonsence about children getting vax.- 130 replies

Beauty Queen's Life Shattered by Autoimmune Disease: A Cautionary Tale
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes. Try watching a senior member being interviewed and admitting the vax had not been tested for transferability. Plus if you think 12 white mice is good enough for you then crack on have you seen the report? Well its just blacked out pages. I got 2 vax and regret it so much. My wife got every one and became iller and iller till she had to stop work oh and about a month after her last shot she got covid. Note I got it as well (last vax was over a year) Mt symptoms lasted a few minutes then was gone. There are so many damaged now and I have several family members injured (try looking at the official uk government figures 1 in 800). The truth will always come out good or bad.- 59 replies

It must be joyous being so squeaky clean. Never cutting your own grass, washing or driving your own car/motor vehicle and many, many more jobs reserved only for Thai's. Sorry but no foreigner in Thailand can survive in Thailand if a vip takes a dislike to them or is jealous (ask the Duch guy and his wife)....?....
