I will NOT watch this clownshoes again... I'm here for the comments.

some male drivers have a strange sense. some kids do some elderly people do I don't understand....is this a defense? Judge, I'm a female and I have a strange sense. Judge: Why are you driving, that isn't safe! Oh, I know. But that's my defense. Can I go?

50.5 percent females. subtract. only about 4 million foreigners in Thailand, the real base number. then we have this: Institute for Population and Social Research at Mahidol University using data from 2010, suggested that there were approximately 440,000 expats living in Thailand, which included 141,000 Chinese, 85,000 Brits, 80,000 Japanese, 46,000 Indians, 40,000 Americans, 24,000 Germans and 23,000 French nationals. of course the numbers are higher now, but 85,000 Brits and 40,000 Americans isn't a lot of people. So, yes, I have already guessed who this guy is based on his writing style and searching the internet to match certain phrases, cross reference with condo sales, CTV cameras, etc........traffic fines. OMG, so easy

It's funny to me when 99% of farangs don't even try to pronounce the names correctly. I learned enough Thai, can read a fair bit, and can definitely tell when something is off. Like near Chiangmai, I'm going to Pai. It's not pronounced with a "P" actually. lol. Pattaya is also almost never pronounced correctly. anyhow.............When in Rome, speak like a Norwegian I guess if you have money.........lol

Doomsday warnings started in 32,593 BC. That's BC you Christians!!!!!! Every single year.....................every year........................there were 100 million doomsday warnings!!!!!! 2023, however, is the one exception. I am set to die on December 31st at 11:59 so this year must be the last for everyone. Yes, I'm selfish and I hate all you falangs enjoying the bar girls like I used to do when I was just a young pup and full of hope and vigor or whatever that saying is.....Now I'm bald, fat, blind, lobotomized, and broke. lol 2022 wasn't good, except I did get in better shape versus 2021 so that's a plus. 2023 will be better than 2022. But don't tell anyone!!! Doom and gloom for the win!!!!

what a disaster!!!!! I'd fight it every day, every single day.................why? IF you pay it today, then guess what....20,000 fine tomorrow!!! RIGHT BEFORE you are sure to sell the condo, pay the 6000 on the condition everything will go smoothly. This is reason Number 9082374803947324923743249 to never buy in Thailand. Luckily, renting isn't so bad here.

I've never run over a PERSON before, but I have a feeling you would have a feeling it wasn't a curb (Kerb to you nutters), squirrel, snake, or box.... IF the parking spot was like 5 meters away, maybe, just maybe, no hit-and-run. any farther, throw the book at her!!!!!!!!

Daily revenue probably 500 baht. Will sue the driver for 1983578940374832 billion. This is the way.

Every city open 24/7, bars everywhere, full moon party every night (I'm sure some clown will figure out how to project a moon in the sky that looks full), 10-year visas, no visas, visas connected to your bank account....goes to 0, and then you are on overstay!!!!! above 0, stay. but those juke boxes in every taxi with lights. call every city Pattaya. Pattaya 1, Pattaya 2, etc..... now we have high season. But I'm here for the temples!!!!!! lol

The more tourists, the less a real experience. START there, talk in English for days about how you are really living the crazy life, on the edge, reckless, learning about yourself over a cup of Starbucks in CM, doing walking street and stopping at 6 p.m. and realizing you are really in a different place!!! Then, for the love of all good things, get far away from Phuket and CM and get to know Thailand.

NOBODY is going to turn around and go back home, so I say make it 500 and give everyone a ticket to a jade shop or 20 baht off a massage. gotta make back that covid-lost money. I've seen more coffee shops and street vendors lately, and at least they are trying; however, coffee shops are soooooooooooooooooooooo 2000. but anyhow, it will close in a few months. Once in Udon I remember getting a real cup of espresso......once in 8 years, yea, that's promising. OK, I digress. Maybe have everyone buy Thai chips like at a casino for 1,000 a chip and they can use these chips for fun and enjoyable prizes!!!! touch a drugged tiger, ride a beaten elephant, hold an aids worker, get your back broken from a bad masseuse, die on a train, die on a car, die on a motorbike, die on a bike, die walking.........LOL LOL

I've worked with Thai children for 5 years, even many girls 18 years of age. NOT ONCE did I have an urge. Not one time. I always prided myself on that. Teacher, student, your mind must switch off and realize they are very, very vulnerable. probably still vulnerable at 25, but ..... well, ah..... lol. Anyhow, I'm guessing it's a power trip. A man super insecure who must show some dominance over anything; animal, kid, maybe old people, etc....... then we have to wonder about childhood trauma, sickness, on drugs, mentally incapable of anything, IQ under 60, who knows...... but I'm guessing power is high on the charts. A bargirl gives you all the power you want.......not sure a sicko would want that.

Barn door closed. Horses gone. Barn in flames. Date: Jan 11 Reporting……Jan 1 to Jan 10, Barn in great shape. Nothing to see here.

Love Harry! Great hard-worker and really married a winner! Great for the image of the UK!! - an American

I've seen a Thai teacher take kids in Pratom 1 away from the cameras and hit them with rulers. HARD. They cried. Yes, they, kids, many at once......saw it happen for about a year. I'm a Type A personality (go figure) and I had a friend who was a policeman (most of us do) that I met while exercising. I told him, and he visited the school on official business. The school said they don't have any recordings, so he left. LOL. Note: Yes, I did wait until my contract was finished because I'm not totally like Rambo. Now I wouldn't care if I still worked there, but before I didn't really understand Thailand as well and was a little worried I'd be found out and immediately deported or something strange. I have learned you can complain about schools, but you won't be complaining about the police. Luckily for the kids, this kind of behavior really became news and it did go away immediately according to my three teacher friends at three different schools. I'd definitely have a meeting with the school about hitting this girl, and take it from there. If a parent thinks they can sue the school and get money, they will likely do it. another NOTE: Don't HI-FIVE kids!!!!!!! Why? When you raise your hand, they think you are going to hit them. This happened to me twice, my heart broke, and I didn't do it again. Yea, I'm not the smartest knife. Fist pump, they like that. with the explosion at the end...lol

It could read.......... into a crowd of 10 million people and everyone turned into skeletons and I would fully expect a fine of 1 baht per person and a few wais and can we ask you some questions over breakfast? Russia, Nigeria, China, and even falangville........................money TALKS, and BS walks. well, in this case, money and BS is walking right out of here.....

Picture time. Free meal. Maybe a brochure of some new Stealth bombers going on SALE!!!!! and, of course, bug a few phones and check behind the paintings (I'm kidding CIA!!!!!). lol. not even new technology anymore.....all you need is a phone number, not the phone, and it's bugged....... which is why I have 87394570435348534 phones

I'm sure they are both excellent schools. I'm happy there are a few thousand students and teachers enjoying a proper education and environment. All I'm saying is there are about 89798234732 million kids tossed into the dung heap of ABC Where you from? Where you go? You!! Again please? R's sounding like L's and "friends" said as "friend." The one great thing about teaching is the kids. Really. The kids are amazing. Kind, nice, willing, and respectful. I've been around probably 10,000 students and I only purposefully avoided two. One threw scissors at a teacher, so that's a little scary. The other was a massive gambler and he didn't like it when I told him not to gamble at school. 100 other teachers would simply just walk by as if nothing was going on, but I felt I had an obligation. He stopped, and luckily I left at the end of the term. M6, probably 18 years old. Anyhow, that was years ago and nothing happened. On the flip side, I have thousands of nice memories of kids apparently happy to see me all the time. I have no idea why they all liked me so much, but that's why every school begged me to stay.

I have to imagine the solution is 1. Hire real teachers who are native English speakers. If you are going to do #1, then you will have to pay around 70,000 and hire to attract some talent. In China, it's about 3x higher I think, Vietnam over 2x higher wages, etc....... It's also sad, but helped me a ton, was that good looks is 100x better than anything else!!!!!!!!! I'm 100% serious, and other teachers will back me up. Oh, you take a good picture for the parents? great. Parents would complain about Thai English teachers because they wanted to pay for someone who looked like a real teacher. LOL. Absolute joke when the "white face" does nothing and then all the Thai teachers get jealous and upset. vicious cycle. Another solution: Every school should pay 12 months. Most schools pay 10-11 months a year (another big problem) and it really tells a teacher to jump around if they want because they give you a year contract but don't pay you for it and, trust me, the Labor department usually doesn't care at all. Air Con every room, 30 kids a room max, 1 falang and one thai teacher mandatory, better pay, less teaching hours, be a real teacher, must be native... I have NEVER met a Thai English teacher who was fluent, and I promise you I've met well over 200. maybe more. Yes, fire all of them or have them teach something in Thai. That's impossible. Now, do you want me to talk about corruption????? lol.

Thanks for the heads up, I guessed Cambodia was really the only big scam. HOWEVER, I disagree with you here......IF they say you can't come in, then that is the law. For all practical purposes, it is the law to you. Are you going to fight them or make things difficult or quote them the "real" law, they don't care. Not sure how to get around this one........make problems for them, they will make problems for you. welcome to the lawless world of "your life is worth 500 baht, enjoy your stay" LOS. lol. or should I say SOL.

I think you know your answer. Ask your gut............what's the first answer that comes to mind? my feeling is, and I agree with you, your first thought is to either buy a new frame or sell it for parts. Even if back home, I might do the same. After an accident, things are never the same and i'm not sure it will be fixed to put your mind at total ease. pretty big risk to take................especially on a bike with that kind of power.

These are our neighbors. Title says “easy” which IMO is a bad choice of words. Shot seven times, travesty in our backyard. Easy implies some sort of joke. we are all in this together until you get on a plane and find better

When I turned 10 I wondered why people tell others how to dress. Nobody should have the right to tell others how to dress. Nobody. Free world. I've seen billionaires wear shorts, do they have no self respect???? I've seen pedophiles wear pants. It's these posts that make me go out and buy 10000000000000000000 pairs of sandals. hahahhhahhahahaah

Good story for my second cup of coffee!!!!! 1. Cred. : 5 years in the Thai education system, not now. Note: 95% of all current English "teachers" would have no idea what "cred." means. That's problem one. I have seen COUNTLESS periods of kids sleeping, on their phone playing ROV or whatever, while a Thai OR falang teacher drones on about whatever.......................rooms usually don't have Airconditioning, 50 kids jammed in an outdated classroom, and the books are either way too easy or way to hard. plus these teachers see their kids about 40 minutes a week. times 20+ classes. horrible. the pay is between 900 and 1100 USD per month. let's say $12,000 a year. What clown would go to Thailand and do this to save money before going back to America and needing about $10,000 just to start a new life. nobody. I did it before I retired, and that's another group of jokers. lol. I would guess 80% of the English teachers are non-native. I could write books on how damaging this is, but I'll give you one story. One lady yelled at her kids for saying "hi" instead of "hello" because "hi" was rude. anyhow......if you looked at her Facebook page it was never in English, so there you go. turnover. I've seen about 200 teacher quit or get fired. enough said. kids aren't dumb, they see this. school will be closed for a week, then teachers will do review for a week and tests for a week and then there are more holidays. do the math. almost zero communication between teachers. there is no 'team'. so nobody has a clue what you are teaching. I've never met a real English teacher, but I've met about 50 backpackers who smile and sing songs in class and show up exhausted and miss classes and show up 10 minutes late to every single class. Thai teachers are also really great at showing up 10 minutes late to a 40 minute class. seen it 1000's of times. nobody fails. so nobody cares. When I started, no grades. Then I would give most kids like 90 percent and then my last year I failed everyone who should fail, KNOWING that the head Thai teacher would simply change my scores and nobody really cared except they wanted numbers. any number. lol. last note: I've seen farang and Thai teachers flirt with kids. Yes, I know what flirting means. Yes, I can tell. Yes, it's disgusting. They add them on Facebook, chat on messenger, LINE, whatever.... they cross the line in my mind. it's so unprofessional I can't even begin...... and then one day they leave and a new joker arrives. welcome to the Thai school system, and that's why it's very, very inexpensive. you get what you pay for.

Everyone is vaxxed, I got 4. Not only with this NOT be a disaster, it will save the world economy!!!!!! Of course there will be some who can't handle it, like always. US at its peak without a vax is 10000000x worse than when everyone's blood is now Pharma green. lol.
