2 years plus sued for writing a bad restaurant review, 10 years plus 100,000 for groping a woman, 1 years plus 100,000 for smoking on the beach. 500 baht + hospital bill for stabbing a farang if he doesn’t die. Who makes this sh-t up ?

If I was you I would think twice before putting your son in that van again. The driver may treat your son differently now that there is a problem. I would see if there is another way to get to school or perhaps change schools. If they can't even sort this out how are they going to teach your son.

He's really got to go. 
Can the country even survive a full term of a such an unfit nut job potus? 
 
"Trump has caused a catastrophe. Let’s end it quickly.
 
There is really only one issue in American politics at this moment : Will we accelerate our way to the end of the Trump story, or will our government remain mired in scandal , misdirection and paralysis for many more months — or even years ?"

I would say it will be a few more years of scandals, misdirection and paralysis before Trump can drain the swamp. :)

It's not about winning or losing.  And this isn't about one side or another using dirty tricks.  This is about an hostile country trying to influence the elections.  Not sure where you are from, but I doubt you'd be very happy if this happened to your home country.  Luckily,  a majority in the US aren't happy either.  Election results mean nothing here.

How many elections around the world in the last 50 years has the US tried to influence ? I would guess all of them. It is part of the game that countries play.

The age thing is not really a problem as beautiful people look good at any age. What bothers me is seeing ugly, fat and stupid farang with a lovely young Thai girl. Her life is all down hill and if they have kids they will be same as the father. At least if the older man is good looking, good shape and smart there is a good change that he well be well off and his kids will take after him. Youth is over rated by young people who fall under Ugly Fat and Stupid. Mind your own business and stop judging people and hope your kids are not stupid...fat or ugly. Just saying :)

If so, I must have 100s of law suits against my name. Next.

You joke now but if someone took you to court and you were sued for a million baht for banging some cheating hag it wouldn't be so funny. Plus you also have the jealous guy with a gun who won't think twice about offing you. Too many single babes to risk being stupid .

I don't remember where I read it but I understand that in Thai law if a man screws your wife you can take him to court and sue him. Anyone hear this before ? If true I wonder for what and how much.

If they fired all the Thais who were involved in some type of sexual harassment there would be no one working in this country.

the shop i rent in pattaya seems to be live. its walls are mostly aluminium windows. if i touch the sliding door with wet hands i get a boot. even the CCTV system has problems. i got a boot adjusting one of the cameras. a canadian guy i know measured the voltage on the cameras plug in 12v transformer and it is pumping out 120v. it is the camera outside the shop so should give someone a nasty surprise if someone tries to mess with it.

Sounds like they got the Polarity + and - switched. Also no earth on anything. So typical in Thailand

If anything Thais hate us (if they do) because they now know that most farangs don't have much at all and are not so smart. They are starting to understand that we are not all rich and that many drive taxis, dig ditches, clean hotel room toilets and do same back home that Thais normally hire others to do. We have been knocked down a few notches and now they see us as equal with no need to over respect us like in the past.

Move ! Best city in Thailand is Bangkok for just about everything. You have crossovers and some under the road tunnels for crossing a road. For Transportation you have metered taxies, motorbike taxies, the BTS, the MRT, and buses. Most central areas have shopping malls, bars, coffee shops etc so no need to travel far and can normally walk with no problem. Bangkok has just about everything except beaches ... which most in Thailand are not worth visiting anyways. All the resort areas, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya etc are now over built and the infrastructure has not kept up and the low life farang and Thais have flooded the place.

I have been a TV member for many years and find my postings are mainly in times that I am totally board with everyday life. I had times that I would make a few to perhaps twenty posts in a day. When stuck in the village the posts were at their highest. When I am busy I post very little unless I need some information. After all the Trump and Clinton crap Last year I decided to take a major break and cut down my time spent on TV to a few hours a month. So far this year I have done just that and I think maybe not missed by anyone. We all go through stages in life and I am sure many of the once daily posters will be back to their keyboards again in the future.
There is life outside of TV !

So what happened to the cars that were parked there ? Salt water can damage a car's body if not rinsed off and if it gets into the engine it is major problem.

Perhaps they mean the Indians who bother you and try to sell those fake watches are tourists. What else could they be talking about ?

There is just too much wrong with this to even comment. What !!!

Before you judge the man walk in his shoes. Perhaps he is down on his luck and needs the money to eat, perhaps he has mental issues, perhaps he did not take anything as the video is not really 100% clear. We don't know why he did this. And shouldn't that money go to help those in need. Monks have all the robes they need as most buckets with soap and food that are given include a robe.
The temples get rich while people starve and do without .... shame on the system as it is for not reaching out to people in need.
My 2 cents worth .... for what it's worth

Spend $$ thousands on a plane ticket and hotels, then let $14 stop you from going to see something you can't see anywhere else you'll ever visit in your lifetime?
 
Sounds like false economy to me...  But then, I'm in favor of dual pricing.

That's great (not really) for the tourist but what about the retired or school teacher expat who has a Thai family and trying to get by on his 800k or perhaps 400k income a year.
I guess some people have money to burn and can't see how the rest of the world lives. " I am fine" thinking is what's wrong with this world.

Floating markets seem to have adopted a 200 baht farang entrance fee within the last year ( certainly Ayutthaya has, and Hua Hin apparently).
From zero to 200 baht seems like a pretty good money earner based on the number of farangs visiting them.

Yes, and the Ayutthaya floating market is nothing to write home about.

I may be the lone voice in the wilderness on this one, but I'm not that bothered by two-tiered pricing, and you'll find it to be pretty common in developing countries, at least in Asia. Four related reasons:

1. Maintaining national parks comes at a price... it's not free. Developing countries like Thailand don't have a large tax base, so entrance fees help defray the costs.
2. The majority of citizens in developing countries don't have a lot of disposable income. But they should still have the opportunity to enjoy their national heritage at least as much as foreigners (who will generally have more money than the average Thai).
3. Tourists spend 100s/1000s of dollars just to go to Thailand, so another $20 here and there shouldn't be a big deal provided that the attraction is worth the price charged; they also 'save' a lot of money on the low cost of food and drink here during their holiday
4. Most foreigners come from wealthier and more expensive countries. When I arrive in Thailand, the spending power of the money in my wallet magically increase 3-4 times. BT500 won't even get you two beers in a restaurant in Singapore, where I've been spending my time lately ... how many Changs will that get you in Thailand? A BT500 entrance fee will not kill me...

That notwithstanding, perhaps they could not have the higher prices for people over 60. Heck - make this stuff free for over-60s, Thai and foreigner alike (I'm not there yet). And people will naturally do their own arithmetic: like I said above, the attraction better be worth the price. People may be willing to pay $20 to see Sukhothai historical park, but a beach ... perhaps not.

Some of what you say I can somewhat agree with but if you want to be helping the poor people enjoy the parks then they have to also get there. Awhile back when expats could get into the parks with a driver license I use to load up the truck and take the local Thais to see the parks. It was a nice day out with friends and family. But who wants to visit a park when you have to pay 400 baht and the people with you who make 300 a day working can't believe it and feel shy about you having to pay.
I just stopped going thus many Thais friends and family have lost their free ride. I don't think I am alone in doing this.
I would understand charging a little more but 10 x is just too big of a difference.

After 20 years here and traveled the entire country I have yet to visit a Thai park that I thought was fantastic. Some are nice but most are a waste of time. There is nothing outstanding in any of them. The waterfalls are small, the old temples look cool but after a few look the same, the flowers can be seen anywhere ......
The grand palace area in Bkk is however really nice but too many people to really enjoy the day.
