  1. Registering a company comes with a lot of stricter rules and compliance. What do you think the benefits of having the business in a company structure to you are?
  2. Are you two guys seeing each other? i think you may be over dramatizing it a bit with millions of taxi and motorcycle taxi trips happening every single day. There will always be a few idiot customers and incidents and misunderstandings because of language and cultural differences. i find taxi services in Thailand one of the positives here, easier to get a taxi here and much cheaper than the UK, and the Wins are very handy, quick and cheap. Some people just like to moan about everything instead of appreciating how good life here is. They can not cope very well. They should catch a taxi to the airport.
  3. Racism against Brits by Brits in the UK is rife these days. Maybe you should write in. Some people are highly sensitive and easily triggered these days, always looking to be “outraged”.
  4. Make a good ghost movie from this story “based of a true story”
  5. Yeah, always throw your food at the young below minimum wage staff. They are the ones scamming you, that will show them, teach them some respect. Are you overweight? They might be trying to help you slim down.
  6. Looks 100% safe to me. it is dead.
  7. Ok then how about this one. Apples with apples. U.S. steel companies and workers since the 1970s have probably received more government assistance than any industry in the country. This includes hundreds of import restrictions; tens of billions of dollars in state, local and federal subsidies and bailouts; exemptions from environmental regulations; special “Buy American” rules just for integrated steelmakers like U.S. Steel; and federal pension benefit guarantees. https://www.cato.org/commentary/us-steel-ubiquitous-market-failure
  8. Lefty Loonies Xi and Kim
  9. The USA doesn’t sponsor industry? https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-offers-12-billion-automakers-suppliers-make-advanced-vehicles-2023-08-31/
  10. And end up with a boring, lifeless, expensive city with red tape. If you like farang cities there are plenty to choose from and direct flights to many of the from Suwarnaphumi and Don Mueang.
  11. I can confirm that Thais do speak very rudely in Thai about Bob. Everywhere I go I hear it. Taxi drivers and prostitutes probably the worst, but even in 7/11, banks, restaurants etc.
  12. You are free to be gay if you want. Your right. And other people are free to not like gay people if they want. Their right. There is not a law that says you must like everyone.
  13. Good job Thailand, they manage to entertain, feed and accommodate more people in six months than the entire population of many countries and with a low % of incidents. A slick well oiled machine. Probably getting a few extra Brits now from Spain as they have turned nasty on us.
  14. It will be hard to prove they have found the correct perpetrators Chinese all look the same. Maybe the luggage will give them away. RIP Kitty
  15. You have always seemed gullible to me. Now you have proven it. If he really is going out today it will just be point scoring and annoying the locals who have better things to do. Funnily enough you both always claim you are leaving with an endless list of grievances about Thailand and Thais. But you never seem to actually go.
  16. A lot of the porn actors are very well hung so make sure you use plenty of lube otherwise it is going to hurt like buggery.
  17. He was probably poor. i don’t see it much in Phuket but I was surprised how many poor farangs I came across in Pattaya. I went to a slum condo that was filthy, worn down but many farangs living there. i don’t think Thais care, they are used to seeing poor people
  18. I don’t think you will have to pretend too much.
  19. Where did you meet your wife? Is she educated? Must be hard.
  20. A sad obsession. Despite his claims he is really just lonely. He never really made it here and suffers a lot of bitterness.
