  1. Where did it say they were 15 in the post? Under 19 is classed as underage in prostitution Thailand. The term "to young to concent" used yet in villages up and down Thailand girls 15 or younger marry all the time and sometimes to much older men. Young girls of the very poor are often sold into basic bondage to karaoke/bar etc. This has been thai cultural for hundreds of years. Right or wrong people should never judge through western culture eyes.
  2. Years ago I thought about opening a business in Thailand but very soon realised after hearing of several drive by shootings from jealous people. From pub entertainment restaurant to even a noodle shop. Then the knock on the the door with a simple we want your business. Not worth the hassle as didn't really need the money.
  3. When people are so poor all they can do is pray and hope. Just one suggestion and they will all flock "Just in case". Then if someone wins (probability of numbers) then the object's value soars.
  4. Not many can even afford a parking space in London. London built the barrier (more to do with high tides). My point is: people should start opening their eyes. The fact is Insurance companies and Banks who use Risk Assesment are still lending money for 50 year mortgages and longer in areas which the climate cult say will be under meters of water in the next 7 years sorry its now 4 years. The other fact that as far as I'm aware no government has started emergency flood defences even started or plans to start.
  5. I found both films entertaining. They are what they are just "entertainment". I've actually just watch Meg for the second time the other day. Then again my movies are just background and help me relax/switch off and some I watch many times depending on my mood.
  6. I believe it is very good in Thailand. From what I've read there is/are temples that use a drug that's banned in the west which ends addiction almost immediately. Then the persons system is flushed.
  7. MP2.5 are very dangerous to all. It is one of those things that can have an immediate effect or more often long-term effects from exposure. Respiratory problems and yes cancers. Bangkok is very dangerous and people die by the thousands yearly from it. To put the severity into prospective London has only One death ever attributed to vehicle pollution in recent times and that is a "suspected" cause. I've lived many times in Bkk over the years and the places I lived you could go on your balcony look over Bkk and see the grey cloud of pollution.
  8. On one of my first trips to thailand I saw something like this first hand. 6 Lane Road, well lit street lights. Stopped in a taxi as a speeding motorbike came flying down the road a smashed into back of a taxi. It was surreal so unbelievable then I saw how thai drives just swerved past the body in the road. I stupidly got out the taxi to prevent the body being run over again. Didn't last long as I also nearly became a victim.
  9. Well something is deeply wrong with air travel already: our internal flights have now been cancelled twice and had to be re-booked in a week.
  10. For £1. Can't really go wrong at those losses..... lol
  11. Maybe because many people pay attention to banking due to recent events and realisations that every bank sits on a knife edge due to the 10/1 ratio which means every say £1 they have in assets they can lend £10 of basic fresh air. Have you ever walked into a Thai Bank and looked at their repossessed property for sale? These properties are at a much higher market price (some I have seen twice the market price) 'magic accounting'. Feeling safe????
  12. No, no, no! I love the secluded beaches in Trang where the only intruders are the monkeys.
  13. Not many can and local born have no chance or even much desire to live there and opted to sell making a killing and buy further north. The fact that the uk doesn't have major costal defences being built should wake people up to the scam. The fact that mortgages are rising and not crashing around the coastal beach front property also should wake people up.
  14. Do a little research, some decrease and some increase every year however the total area remains constant and sometimes increases but photos are managed and posted of certain areas to give the effect they want, data is picked to promote their agenda. It would have more credence if they picked one date in time for all aspects. The west's model is flawed however the Russian model is far more accurate. (Note I'm not a Russian fan boy).
  15. And London and strange as it is they are all still here, infact you can get 30 year plus mortgages... Ha ha ha Banks are so stupid the world is about to end or is it the Sheeple who spout this cult nonsense? Hasn't it been 7 plus mad predictions by people like gore (who flies around on his private jet making millions a year from talking climate cult). The panic this man has caused to millions: Great lakes dry! No highest level ever recorded, No ice caps (some decrease and some increas as have done for millions of years), poor bears gone yet highest populations since records began infact so high they are starting to cross mate with Great Brown bears. Not on prediction has come true.
  16. Not really, hitting your head on concrete etc can be very deadly especially the weak back of the head. Really sad and his friend will now carry this guilt for the rest of his life. I had 2 friends in my youth "teens" they were inseparable and would die for each other. However one day they got into a fight at home and one brother picked up a golf club hitting his brother once on the head "Dead!" He was never the same again and I would be very surprised if he is still alive as he carried so much guilt.
  17. Still very considering. I never ever ran with the herd, I was not influenced with other soldiers. If I had not gone to Hong Kong I would never have got any tattoos as I did not like the thick lines of the ink in the UK. In Hong Kong the art was very good, so good that 20 years later a guy came upto me who I was teaching Scuba to asked me if I had got them at Jimmy's in Hong Kong. Apart from the admiration of the tattoos at Jimmy's alcohol played a big part in the decision making process of this young man 3 times = 2, 2 and 1 over a year.
  18. So I'm an idiot? I have 5 tattoos all of which I got in Hong Kong as a young soldier because I liked them. The question is do I regret getting them and the answer is yes except one "The sweetest girl I ever kissed was another man's wife my mother" means more now as my mum passed away. I was sensible enough to have them all on my upper arms so the can be covered with a shirt. I do not like seeing women with tattoos but if the personality was there it would not matter.
  19. Well they have proven inadequate, incompetent at everything they have touched. One just has to look at the growth figures plus the Thai rankings which were all much better. I never liked him personally but he was the best for Thailand and still is. A foot not to all the fan boys out there please tell me of one single country in the world that prospered after a coup, just one?
  20. Need to get out of the red light areas and talk to real expats. I personally haven't had many conversation in fact non that started with ""Sex" but then again most if not all I talk to Thai or expats married or in relationships.
  21. What about a rigged senate, a man in power who was not on a ballot, a man who broke his own made up constitution with rigged judiciary, rigged election. One could go on and on about the breaches of "The Party" but pointless but there is one thing for sure the PTP will be prevented from taking part or there will be a fixing of the result "How long are they keeping hold of the ballot boxes again?" There is only one way to take back the country, the same as it was taken. Its time!!!
  22. Basically No! Peer reviewed paper just published for covid (concor I think) and the use of masks (it begs belief that all the previous peer reviewed papers on viruses and the effectiveness of masks were not taken into account by governments).
  23. Of course he did! I imagine he was very worried or even scared as Thailand has a very bad reputation relating to police, bars and Thais. I really am shocked at the number of haters on here.
  24. You concluded the tourist started it, wow! You actually sound like one of those thugs who hit people and run away or maybe just a hater who for some obscure reason hates his fellow countrymen like so many on here?
