Simply disgusting behavior, but since there are hardly any consequences it certainly will not get better in the future. The law seems to work for the rich only in certain cases, and as a foreigner you cant expect to ever get a fair deal whatsoever.

We used to eat out plenty, but it is hard to find a restaurant serving quality food without them using unreasonable amounts of MSG. A good enough reason for us to cut down on eating out, besides being ripped off too many times for bad or low quality food and inconsistent service. Pets, open kitchens, poor hygiene and unhealthy environments is another reason for thinking twice before dining out.

Like many other things, plenty of everything, but no quality! l

Besides unreasonable increase of prices, lower quality and smaller dishes the food it totally saturated in crazy amounts of MSG at most places.

Who exactly cares?

Thanks appreciate!

In Europe/ Scandinavia I usually get my yearly check up, which includes a full body skin cancer check done with a blue light mostly, taking less than 5 minutes. I did check with a few clinics, in the Rayong and Pattaya area, but mentioning the blue light, I don't get much of a response, or the "no have" answer. I would like to get a full body skin cancer check up, without being charged a little fortune, since it is really only a matter of minutes. Any serious suggestions or positive experience regarding the subject would be appreciated. I understand that some private hospitals offer scans, but the price is totally unacceptable to me, since it costs only a fraction of the price over in Europe with a familiar and trusted environment.

Absolutely!

Only carry what you can afford to lose!

Disgusting response, but I guess you are talking about yourself

OMG

Absolute nonsense, 30 or 40 years ago Thais were behaving very differently, and most people living here long term have had their share of experiences, but it has not being reported most of the time, because they all know that it is useless, and little to expect from the law to protect them.

Doesn't really matter what he did, because it certainly does not justify ganging up on him, but you should never expect a fair fight or reasonable argument.

absolutely correct and well said, besides it being a questionable question.

Life is a learning process, but at that age you should have had a few lessons, not falling for cheap tricks in a rip off environment

I guess you haven't been around Thailand much lately, because Thai take dogs around malls, restaurants and all sorts of other places in baby strollers, all dressed up , certainly many having them in the bedrooms too. Only up north east it seems a little more civilized, where I actually saw signs with no dogs allowed in parks, and I guess places being near Laos keeps the numbers of stray dogs down too.

Nonsense, its got nothing to do with nasty neighbors, the dog barking issue is pretty much all over and in every village, besides stray animals too. Animals are not to blame, its pure selfishness of people, disrespecting their neighbors. Foreigners and local people alike, which usually can hardly take care of themselves, claiming to be animal lovers, keeping pets prisoners in cages and mostly a rather tiny area around the house. Dogs in the mall, convenient stores, restaurants and so on, it's disgusting and totally unhygienic. Dogs causing accidents chasing people, being bitten or killed, but of course they have been always lovely, harmless little doggies, which have never harmed or annoyed anyone. Will never change unless people will be made responsible, which will most likely not happen in the near future if ever. A little common sense/courtesy would go a long way, but that certainly shouldn't be expected.

I totally agree, because once you have investments, it is not all that easy to pack up and go, considering a loss in exchange rates selling, plus starting all over again, especially at retirement age and up.

Yeah, real utter and absolute nonsense!

Well, it's got nothing to do with looking down on Thais at all, there are facts which will remain even if you choose to ignore them. Open your eyes and have a good look around!

A display of uncivilized low life behavior, and they are probably proud of themselves!

Trash pretty much everywhere around, besides the disgusting smell in most of the little streets , which doesn't seem to bother the locals at all.

Amazing how people have the time hunting down foreigners taking pictures and movies breaking the law or whatever, but I guess its called news, or is it simply to make foreigners feel welcome?

right, in a country with law abiding citizens!

You are correct, and we should consider ourselves lucky to be in a Country with law abiding citizens, right.
