Looks like a pretty rough Family Friendly resort. Many of the troubles involving foreigners seem to be from there...

I recognize that I have become more thankful and compassionate after my settlement in Thailand. I started to appreciate what I used to take for granted before. As well as more compassion to those who are less fortunate. So I came to give food and other useful goods to the local homeless.

Gun pointing a cop. Only B500- fine for that? Looks like nearly walk-free.

Forget about that BS. It is the scare campaign that only benefits some crook accounting firms. Providing Useless Advice to the foreigners and charging them hefty fee($500-1000 for 60-90 minutes senseless talk). Thai govt has not made any clear announcement on after some media's sensational headlines in May this year. So those accountants really wouldn't know how it goes either. Still, they are trying to take advantages of the worry of the expat. If you are after Useful Expert Advice, better read the article below. It was posted last weekend here.

Their prisons don't mix natives and aliens. Instead, they are segregated each other; foreign convicts get a better treatment than their own country people. Sounds strange, but true.

Who said Never Bring A Knife To Gunfight？

Pure embodiment of the Sin City?

the city’s image as a family-friendly destination -------------------------------------------------------------------------- How can they lose what they don't have in the first place?

It doesn’t surprise me. As one outstanding feature of this kingdom is, able to accommodate travelers and stayers of any budget and taste.

they lacking in education, awareness or are they just too damn lazy to do it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of them.

I also felt that way, too. That idiot got a similarity with Poo-tin. Finally came to the island of this kingdom to claim its ownership during holiday trip. Yelling, "Anywhere inhabited by own people will be deemed our extended territory. And it is subject to annexation. But our Spetsnaz were all wasted in Ukraine. So head of the state came to do it instead..."

Perfect example of the Scare Tactics. Trying to Capitalize other people's worry. While they are as unsure as anyone else.

Your taste is None of My Concern... Contrary to your expectation, I am not into drinking or smoking cannabis.

His words are the most accurate and conscientious Expert Advice since tax chief's bark in May this year. Unlike those from some accounting firms whose only thought is to rip off foreigners taking advantage of their anxiety.

Thai lawyer argues most expats won’t be impacted by personal income tax - Pattaya Mail Mr Hart stresses that Thai financial laws have not changed... The video attacks foreigners, claiming to be tax experts, who give advice when they are not qualified to do so. ---------------------------------------------------------- That's what I have noticed months ago. No affirmative announcement from any sources. Still, some accounting firms invite expats to come in for consultancy(for Useless Advice).

They are useful to chop up meat and vegetables in your kitchen. As well as Blood Thirsty Beasts when they come for you. One Knife saved dozens more lives from the blood thirsty murderer.

I like it when Thai laws approve simple Instant Justice; allowing people to take matters into own hands in emergency. Many parts of today's first world are sick enough to protect the criminals instead of the good people. Righteous Defenders can be prosecuted if they harm(kill or injure) the violent aggressors. In the West, Definition of Justice is so twisted by the Do-gooder system over protecting outlaws' human right.

I can imagine it was truly a Life or Death situation. Without those men's swift bravery, the toll must have gone further up.

Willing Giveaway from Mercy and Compassion. Thai virtues from Buddhist faith well demonstrated. A heartwarming episode.

Most Thais are usually calm and gentle. But when the situation tenses up, they often demonstrate Uncommon Valour. As stated in their National Anthem.

bystanders at the shop, who acted decisively. Outraged and determined to stop the violence, they tackled the gunman and, in a dramatic turn, fatally stabbed him, bringing his rampage to an immediate halt. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー The instant vigilante took a knife to the gunfight and finished off the lunatic. Salute to the Few Good Men who risked their lives to contain the situation. Unsung Heroes of the day.

In Thailand, it is not noting new that the band of good-hearted foreigners put their energy to better the society. Quite a few foreign NGOs provide private charity to the less fortunate of this kingdom. I don't understand why this many people post cynical comments ridiculing those doing a good thing. Help clean up the mess is far better than litter bugging.

A sound judgement. As the breakout of fire on a crowded boat will be catastrophic. Transport operators cannot be too careful as they are responsible for many lives on board.

That vendor simply exercised own Buddhist faith: A willing Giveaway to the poor. Why others complain about it?

When Thailand feels they need more working hands, they will probably relax settlement conditions of the people from the neighboring countries(where the population is ever growing). When those migrant workers' children are admitted to Thai schools and brought up as the new Thai citizens, they will be able to replenish their aging population. If Thai govt doesn't really do anything, the current trend will start to take its toll in the next 20-30 years. I won't be alive then. So it doesn't really worry me.
