The concept of consequence isn't taught to children so no thinking is done until it's too late.

I see morons like this on a daily basis.

True. I also wonder about the quality of construction. And more so about the fit and finish. I have been in a few high end developments and have yet to be wowed by the workmanship. Yes, expensive materials but often massacred by poor tradesmen. At least if you pay for luxury in the West you usually get high quality work, electricity that is safely managed and plumbing that doesn't leak.

Joking or serious?

Joking.. But only partly. In pretty much every major capital city in the World there is high end/high cost property.

Yes you can analyse it and discover that over time some is a better investment than others. 

But I'm not shocked by the price.. I'm shocked that there are people who are shocked by the price. To the sector that this sort of development is aimed at it's not shocking.  People spend 10 - 14 Million dollars on a car. More on a boat and sometime more still on objets d'art. 

And guess what there is always someone poorer than them who thinks they are dumb for 'wasting' their money..

Could the perpetrator please be sent to Pattaya ?

Between $US 1 million and $ US 4.5 mil. A pittance for Wealthy Thais, Chinese and others with money.

A Porsche 911 GT3 RS costs more than 30 Mil Baht in Thailand so a luxury apartment in BKK for the same price could be seen as a bargain. See what you get for that in the center of London, HK, Singapore or even Jakarta.

Older cars and pick-ups crawling along without bright rear lights at night is common. Worse they are often in the righthand ( fast ) lane RIP the Ducati rider. I'm guessing he was riding too fast but no way to learn from his mistake now.

Women, and particularly young women here are not allowed to stand up for themselves to anyone older than then, or anyone 'higher' up on the 'respect' ladder.  They are taught and conditioned to not say anything against anyone who is older than them, even other females.  

Its this part of the culture that need to change.  Also those few that do have the confidence to try to bring charges are treaded very badly and loose a lot of face for themselves and their families, who would rather just hush it up and sweep the matter under the carpet, or ignore it and pretend it never happened.

 

I'm over 50. tommorow I'm going to central to ask young women to undress for me.. Can't wait  Why didn't somebody tell me they can't refuse years ago ?

So you would abuse young girls if you were a teacher, doctor or photographer, forcing them to get naked in a room alone with you against they wishes, because they were afraid or you, or loosing their job or ruining their career?  You would think it normal, but slightly bad behaviour on your part of feel no guilt about it?

They weren't young girls. He didn't force them physically it seems ( the story is ambiguous, I would say he asked and they relented because he was a teacher ) But  if you re-read my original post you will see I say "I don't condone it " 

What I consider normal is, that he being a man would want to see young women naked.  He went about it in the wrong way and used his position to make it possible. 

This doesn't mean he's sick, a weirdo, a pervert, an animal or any of the other narrow minded victorian labels used.

He just saw an opportunity and used it. Nobody was harmed. It won't be the first or the last time that a naive girl has been tricked into showing her bits.  More fool them. shame on the parents.

OMG seriously, I'm not going to say any more otherwise I'd get a posting holiday, all I will say is - you are pretty sick if you think all this is normal behavior

So you really don't think a man wanting to seen young women naked is normal ?  Did you have an interest in naked women when you were 16 ? Have you lost that interest now that you are older ?

Strange. Why if it's not normal is the internet bursting with naked pictures, Movies stars are youthful and often strip off and nude shows and gogo bars are everywhere. 

I'm not saying it isn't bad behavior and I'm not condoning it. But sexual attraction and curiosity is perfectly normal.

I hope I never lose interest in the naked female form.

I have similar porous tiles in my carport and driveway. Mine are cream/grey coloured so hard to keep clean.

I use a grout cleaner from homepro ( acid based ) or alternatively hot water with bleach/Mr Muscle and and then jetwash. Letting the detergent soak in for an hour seems to help a lot ( I don't let it dry out)  

The grout comes up clean and it removes most of the tannin stains from leaves etc.  I've seen the grit blasting attachment for my Karcher jetwash advertised but never seen a non-industrial set up in action.

I'd seal the tiles if it was a smaller area but a good quality sealant that will hold up in this climate seems to be hard to get as well.

Takes a couple of Months to get dirty then it's out with the jet wash.

How much are they worth second hand with bullet holes and smeared with blood of an <deleted>?

 

Probably brown stained seats as well!

Cheapest secondhand one that I have see here was 6 million baht. Over USD 180K for an 8 year old car. Seen a few with a 14 million Baht price tag.

Thanks for all the replies guys !

 

 

 

Why black ? How is that any better ?

 

 

 

Watch out for calcium deposits if you use granite. May be that is not a problem for you, but my water

has a lot of minerals and that gets stuck on everything. When I retiled my pool, I used "glass tiles" and they

look like crap just after a year. My worker actually managed to scrape the deposits of without damaging

the tiles, but it's a hell of a job ...

 

Let me know if you ever find a "decent" pool builder, lol ....

 

 

 

This is an interesting idea. I could have a stainless steel structure, instead of pine wood, and cover with stones above ...

 

I might try making a 1m section and see how it looks ...

 

 

Thanks,

rudi

 

 

Black,  because it won't turn yellow. Although it may turn grey ?

They don't imagine it is their own daughter.

Most who don't see a problem with it, is because it is a Thai girl and they are all sat at home having a hand shandy.

My daughter wouldn't be dumb enough to be coerced in that way. It's all down to parenting. If their kids have been brainwashed into following orders without question who's fault is that ?  No different to poor kids being abused by people in authority ( Clergymen, scoutmasters and teachers )  in the West.  The difference is that in the West they target young kids who don't question authority. Try asking a girl in a UK uni to take her clothes off and see how far you get.

so you want to see nude photo's of young girls, is that what you are saying ?

 

This so called teacher should have had his home searched then arrested and charged, he is a dangerous sexual predator and abuser for taking pictures of these young girls and has likely done a lot more than take pictures

Or he may just be a normal man that likes to see young women naked. It's a Uni not a kindergarten.

Nowadays it's acceptable to be gender confused/neutral/gay and take part in all sorts of depraved sexual acts that were punishable by death in the last century.. But suddenly when a normal hetro fella is interested in naked girls he's a sick perv... What is the World coming too ? BTW my grandmother got married at 15... Guess my granddad was a paedo ?

F F S ! 

Does this mean they are all going to start carrying DVM's now instead of a voltage pen and a croc clip ?

Yes. or you have an all night power cut/ Brown out and wake to find that you can't drive your lekky car to work.

Mobile phone battery technology can't keep a phone charged for 12 yrs use yet and even with power points everywhere we still get caught with a dead phone/ low batt etc etc..

Imagine same issue with a car in a traffic jam on Sukhumvit. 

More development needed

Death by stealth.. Hopefully they are going to be available in bright colours with an audible warning tone and flashing lights. Imagine how many pedestrians are going to get mowed down cos they didn't hear it coming !

If it doesn't need an airtight seal how about the water cooler sized bottles commonly used here ? The round ones.

I have an overflow pool and the same issue. White grating becomes yellow grating in a short time -Also brittle from the UV.

Had a good look for a solution. Easiest ( I think) is to buy black grating next time.

Better but way more expensive is this stone grating. it comes in sections and just replaces what you have. But much harder wearing and obviously UV resistant. 

Lastly. And probably what I will do when I locate a decent pool builder is remove the plastic grating and re-do the edge of my pool so there is only an infinity type edge with a slot for the water to overflow into. Think I should be able to accomplish this with a section of the rough finish granite that is available here. I plan to re-tile my patio area anyhow as the sandwash finish there now is 5 yrs old and looks poor.

I had to stop wearing underwear, read an article that recommends boiling your underwear in a water bleach solution to kill all bacteria, hot dryer dry them before wearing them again - it worked in Africa, but when I got back to Thailand, it started again, threw out all my underwear, now go 'commando'  hasn't returned been about five months.  Before that I used clotrimazole in the crotch area.  You're right about that Snake stuff  -  burned like hell and I wound up with seeping sores, gave it to a homeless guy on the overpass.   Good luck.

  +1 30 years of going commando in Asia.. No crotch rot problems.

You forgot to mention to fill it up with water..
