Dutch Tourist Hurls Objects at Udon Thani Café Staff Over Change Dispute
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Do you not think his friend said this just to calm things down and pay out of his own pocket? I also would be very angry getting short changed. But, I don't throw things about unless thrown at me first. -
New Guidelines Introduced for Safer School Trips
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Greed will stop anything happening. Back in 2007 the owner of the school I worked at was a nasty, nasty man. Took 100baht off every Thai teacher every month (they were only paid 6,000baht a month). Last School Camp I did, 4 coaches full of students took the kids to the camp. However, only 2 coaches came to take them home. I was so angry. 4 kids to a seat, standing and sitting on the floor. I wrote a letter of complaint and his response was to go to the police accusing me of trying to take students to another school with me. Nothing happened. He had a long list of female teacher sex abuse made against him, that he would pay off... nasty, nasty man. -

German Tourist Arrested for Drug Use and Overstaying in Thailand
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I'd does in the UK, over 1,000,000 illegal immigrants in the UK and never get deported. Current estimates are 1 in 10 people in the uk are illegally in the uk. Feeling the draw back to thailand growing. However there is a looming road block to this happening "Threat of beng Taxed". -
Mother Arrested after Assaulting Two Year Old Daughter in Wichit
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
You are right. However, praise to thailand in that it will be delt with quickly, especially the drugs part. Where as in the uk this would drag on with social work and if the child is put into Foster care their little lives could be ruined by woke ideology guardian choices. -
Well looks like they have not learned. Exactly the same thing happened to me in Trang! I was so angry, my new car covered in tar. Had to take photos of the road, go to the police station which wasn't that far from the location the idiots were spraying tar on the road surface. Then I had to go to the council building who organised my car to be cleaned at Bic C car care. They are just so stupid!

Phuket Tourism Worries Mount Over Climate Change Impact
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Racist! Yep, very Racist remark. Thailand killed the golden goose many years ago. The failure to invest and the uncertainty of ever changing immigration laws. Driving away expats and greed gouging existing expats. So now you have expat community dwindling and not being replaced. Letting a bank hold 800k of your money giving zero interest puts expats off especially when there are friendlier countries out there. Expats bring family tourism into the country. All the expats I've ever known have left Thailand even the ones I thought were there for life have left now desperate to sell their houses... -
Big bike forced off road by car on Bangkok highway - video
BritScot replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
You did watch the video? After reading some sanctimonious posts on here I watch the video again and again. You can see that the car driver makes a very aggressive swipe at the Biker! He new exactly what he was doing and have seen Thais doing that to bikers many, many times. Little D!ck syndrome. Don't like being overtaken by bikes. -

Are you mad and blind? -
My fist vehicle I bought in Thailand I had my windscreen tinted with the thought "harder to spot I'm a foreigner, easy tea money". Big mistake, I hated driving at night as several times I came close to hitting/driving into vehicles especially motorbikes with no rear lights and bags blocking the head light. My next vehicle had very little tint on the windscreen. It was great seeing at night again.

Don’t ban TEMU: Thai experts call for enhanced trade standards
BritScot replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Personally I will never ever buy anything on Temu! It was reported when the app is downloaded they have access to your device data and bank records. Whether this is true or not, I will not risk it, not for all the free sockets they offer me! -
Thailand triumphs in UN Human Rights council bid

This shows the UN is currupt and waste of money. Time to defund the UN. I wonder how much this has cost Thailand and will cost. -
Thai police officer allegedly rapes 17 year old girl in Chon Buri

German Ambassador Shares Photo with Ex-PM Thaksin, Expresses Honour
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I personally did not like Mr T when he was PM. But, I'm man enough to admit he was one of the best PM's Thailand has ever had for the country and the people. I fell in love with the Thailand under his Premier ship. Life was good for Thai's and expats. All stats were better, I think GDP was as high as 14%, school English proficiency was far higher than now. Never forget he was also ousted by an illegal military coup then charged in kangaroo courts. Corruption costs for businesses almost doubled and the start of persecution of expats started. We were left well alone and Mr T. new the need for Native English Teachers was needed. I just do not understand the venom expats on here show but self harm is a thing , i suppose. I do however understand the crowd of Thai's who suddenly appeared on here after the last coup singing the praise of the criminals who stole the counry and then procedded to drive into the ground arresting anyone who dared to speak out. -
Thai police officer allegedly rapes 17 year old girl in Chon Buri
BritScot replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
So much virtue signalling on here. It is her word and every story especially in Thailand has 2 sides. Apart from her age 17, uk 16 is the legal age, alcohol 18, but in scotland you can vote at 15. Thailand I've seen 15 year old marry and a 16 year old with a 55 year old man so not uncommon in Thailand. Several says forced/raped but kept going back every day? The man was an idiot but she must take responsibility for her actions. She could of said no at any time and told him to stop coming around. Everyone on here should remember 2 sides of a story. If you believe verboten what this girl is saying then I have a bridge in London for sale. -

If you require torture to train then two things may happen in theatre: one, live granade placed in your kit, stray round in your back or two, soldiers will not fight when required. -

Those rose coloured glasses are working overtime for you. What a shock your going to get when you wake up and they clear. Thailand stopped being a paradise over 20 years ago. -
Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
While it is sad every British pensioner would have known this before they became expats. They should have taken steps to avoid this. The easiest step is to move back to the uk for 6 months! Job done!!! -
Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Your obviously deranged and lacking in knowledge. First illegal immigrants in the uk are not allowed to work so do not pay tax or contribute second, they get tax paid handouts like: free accommodation, free medical/dental (prioritised before tax paying Brits), free money to spend as they wish, free phone, free, free, free more than British people. Infact the hotel barge they turned their noses up at could have homed, greatful homeless veterans. -
Thai tax riddle: Elite Visa holders off the hook?
BritScot replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Lol! Use are the ones they have their grubby little finger on. The 800/400k banking con, the produce your life history and 6 months bank statements every year and the on parole 90 day reporting. It will become part of your annual reporting documentation "Tax declaration". Easy pickings. Question is: will they Tax your 800k/400k in the bank every year as new income? Welcome to Thailand.
