The blind leading the blind comes to mind.

The same can be said about the talking heads on cnn and fox... no facts... no solution... just blabber.

Bring them here and move in with them because he will have no income more like it...

You are better off googling for the information you seek... it is all available on line... rather than ask the group on this forum... all you will get is complaints about how badly tourists and farangs are treated... and the constant scamming by everyone from taxi drivers to roadside eateries... 555

Lawsuit blames fallen power pole for starting Texas Smokehouse Creek wildfire | CNN ... You do read CNN don't you? Like Hawaii these blazes are more a product of mismanagement or no management of resources.

The age old excuse... unlike their western counterpart... Thais are not totally money motivated... it's not about being uneducated... it's about their choice to be or do other things rather than "go for the gold" all the time...

Obviously you should be writing him and the source and edumacating him... Please post your supporting link that what he stated is false.

So exactly what direction is forward for THAILAND... they should model the WEST... that's mostly a failing social program... please enlighten us... SIMPLE question... WHICH DIRECTION IS FORWARD?

So you wouldn't be happy anywhere...55555

When I invite people into my house I expect that they will be respectful... sorry for you that you don't understand that.

CLS... Chicken Little Syndrome

You mean... do all those things that they do in the WEST? Why should they if they are happy doing it their way? The slower the west encroaches on THAILAND the better for Thailand

The new regulations will only be enforced for landlords who oversee five or more properties. Those who manage less than this are not obligated to this new policy, but will likely be encouraged to follow it.

I say bring back corporal punishment... let's take back the right to living without bullies and criminals ruling the world... 555

Link please...

Actually it is NOT disrespectful at all... there are protocols for leaving a flag up overnight and they vary from country to country... ie in the USA the protocol for flying the flag overnight is that it be lighted... in Thailand there is no restriction or protocol if one so chooses to fly the flag 24 hours... so go peddle your xenophobic rubbish somewhere else.

Spoken like a true criminal... Degree of assault & battery is irrelevant... it's still a crime.

Hey wobblybob... you are certainly wobbling today!

The above list is from Thailand web site... if you have an issue with the way it is worded take it up with them... 555

The circumstances are entirely different... one assault was an unprovoked assault & battery on an unsuspecting woman... the other was an escalation between two alpha males whose mothers never taught them how to behave... you want so bad for it to be a discrimination issue because the swissie is a farang and in your small mind farangs are always picked on.

Just because they don't ask... but they can if they want to... see 4 below. Be from an approved country. Be visiting Thailand strictly for tourism. Hold a genuine passport with a valid expiry of over 6 months. Can provide a valid address in Thailand on entry that can be verified. This address can be a hotel or an apartment. Must have a confirmed return ticket exiting Thailand within 30 days. Open tickets do not qualify. Traveling overland by train, bus, etc to Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia (including en route to Singapore), Myanmar, etc is not accepted as proof of exiting Thailand.** Provide proof of funds of at least 10,000 THB for single travelers, or 20,000 THB per family during your stay in Thailand.

So in your feeble mind unprovoked ASSAULT & BATTERY is an overblown hoo-ha... sad

There are bad actors in every country... one crime does not mitigate the other... and one punishment does not alter any other... except maybe in your small mind.

The rules say proof of accommodations while in Thailand... In nearly 30 years I have never been asked by the IO... I use booking.com and have confirmation on a hotel room that is fully cancellable... unless I know that is where I will be staying...
