Legal Lifeline

A legal and constitutional punch-up before the new government has started work Crazy constitutional law here that I struggle to understand - and I have been a lawyer for a long time!

I agree with this sentiment completely. At the stated age one would hope wisdom would have ensured he would be urging peace rather than offering to fight

I agree- and the ban on foreigners owning land deters many like myself from investing long term in the country

We cover the law in England and Wales. Northern Ireland and Scotland have their own separate and independent legal systems in place

You are of course correct. England and Wales share the same legal system, where Scotland and Northern Ireland have entirely separate legal systems

I actually think he clearly had very very bad eyesight

I agree totally- a big issue is whether or not the Thai authorities realise that the situation is no where nearly as strong as they think it is

A bad situation and it will get a lot worse economically for Russia in 2026

I was approached by a very polite clearly gay Indian man asking if I wanted company- I told him he clearly needed glasses- we both laughed and went our separate ways

Let us hope Thai authorities do not follow Heathrow Airport who charge even for a 1 minute dropping off of a passneger!

I agree- otherwise Thailand will fade - and end up looking like a tired old seaside town in the UK that has seen better days and is now past its sell by date

I do the same- and it works for me No particular way or time of exercise is "right" really - I guess as they say different strokes for different folks

I agree- Thailand really does need to wake up and smell the coffee For many years Thailand has taken as a given large tourist numbers However other countries in South East Asia have already learnt , and will continue to learn, from Thailand's mistakes and offer a better place for tourists Thailand needs to get its act together quickly- and we all are aware of many ways that Thailand could enhance all that it offers to tourists generally Whether TAT will do anything is of course another matter altogether for as we all know TIT

I think perhaps it is an age- related issue of perception As we get older some of us perhaps become more mellow and more aware of the importance of politeness, good behaviour, mutual courtesy, respecting foreign culture and so on? Just a thought

I agree totally. The gangs are ruthless and need to understand the penalty they face if they carry om

Well we all know that Dementia Don would never lie don't we?

In reality aren't most women, here and in the West, impressed by wealth in a man? And if a woman pursues a man as he has money she is just ensuring she has a life style she seeks- does that make her a prostitute?

If the relationship works for both involved who are we to criticise? Having handled divorces for over 40 years in the UK it seems to me women's attitudes to money is the same in the UK as it is here- and no doubt as it is in many countries No woman wants to be with a poor bum if she can avoid it Drive a nice car- have a good job - be kind- and you will not be alone for too long regardless of looks A cynical comment but sadly I think I am right

And I am sure many stories to share- please do as your worldly experience would be welcome here

IF, a big IF, your story is true post her photo so we can all be warned Wake up and smell the coffee- she is a hooker- and a fresh bigger wallet has arrived

It all sounds as if something very horrible has happened I hope we are all wrong in our suspicions - time will tell

I agree 100% Books being judged by their covers and all that!

I agree totally - and plan to move to Isaan from a very smart condo in the centre of Bkk when my lease ends in May At the end of the day if you meet like- minded people and create genuine friendships the occasional noisy festival will not spoil all of the rest of the attributes of the area

I don't think any Thai or US prisons will get a high ranking on tripadvisor

Sadly true I suspect
