Is this a continuation of ''Would you cross a busy road to save 50 bht'' thread by the OP ?

Everyone here has a lot to say about the "poor electrical work in Thailand" but all of them have overlooked the fact that it is THEIR responsibility to ensure that THEIR house or THEIR premises are safe. Not to mention that all the posters here seem to be very knowledgeable when it come to (after the fact) electrics - yet NOT ONE has mentioned the one inexpensive little device that could have saved ALL of those lives. It's called an Earth Leakage Relay - or a Residual Current Device. Look it up - and if you don't have one installed, then install one immediately. Before we have to type in yet another RIP!

You don't need a stair case. You need one or two steps, same as the keep fit folk us.

I am happily retired here and if I have a day of doing nothing because I can.......do I feel guilty?......nope!

If I get the urge to get mobile and cut some grass, I do because I can, not because I have to. It is a whole different mindset this retirement stuff.......I love it.

Have to agree, except I do feel vaguely guilty when I take a day off to do nothing and, I've no intention of buying one of those awful industrial sized 'trimmers' and standing out in the sun cutting the grass! Fortunately for me, there are local, working people that are happy to do this for me.

No mention of Brazil? hot all year round, the women are fantastic, weird it wasn't on your short list.

Why would you go somewhere where it was hot all year round? Some of us might not be sex tourists, and not really bothered about the women in our holiday destinations (speculation on my part, I know, but it is possible; perhaps we should ask Eek or Phuturatica...)

I'm looking forward to a bit of a change for the weather, to be honest.

SC

Since when was I talking to you? I was talking to the OP, not that I need to justify myself to a brain dead narcissist as yourself, the OP did say he was looking for a place that was HOT all year round and HE! mentioned the women, and secondly why are you even mentioning the sex trade in this? show the size of your peanut brain inside that rock hard head of yours, many PEOPLE like to travel and admire the locals, women do it all the time too, since when does that make someone a sex tourist? now pull your fat head out of your ass and get a life. Honestly some people on here make me cringe in disgust to the point it makes me physically ill after reading some the garbage they post.

Your ridiculous comment made me go back and recommend SCs!

No not really, I thought it would be at first, and after seeing how many abhorrent sociopaths live on here, which is a good reason to keep me away, so now I just come to read the news and on occasion to ask genuine questions, seeking genuine answers, not some morons' negative and twisted point of view.

A POLL,

Who watches the ball, who watches the butts ?................................

I'll start.

. 1. Ball..................................0

2. Butts................................1

I do.

OP, send me some cash for 2 weeks on the Norfolk Broads, please. ............

My cat has scratch the hood on the truck. l now clip a duvet on the hood every night.

I just signed up to thaiVisa, Oswald was a kind and generous fellow, things are beign followed up by his friends here. In the meantime perhaps it is best if we focus on RIP for him and his family instead of ametuer sleuthing and off topic discussions of tourist deaths in thailand.

There is a man and family behind this story and he will be greatly missed.

I don`t see how this is Thai related.

The OP had a Thai massage in the States and was given a curry afterwards.

Next.

WATCH THIS SPACE.

No not Buddha, yet,

But l can tell you the same stuff in LOS can effect you in old blighty, don't you ever forget it, eh.

Don't you people need a break from Thailand?

I do. 5 Months is the maximum I can stand.

Ever heard of the Finnish word "sisu"?

No i dont live there I'm outside.

Back in Blighty with the misses both working hard.

I like to hear all the bad stories of expats done wrong it makes me fell better because I'm not there (joke).

I don't know about this assumption that thai's tip toe around situations like this.

My wife would go apeshit at the old ladies and id be the one telling her to calm down!

im at fairtex bang phli muay thai camp every day if anyone wants to chat over a beer

That explains the braindamage !

Soul has bugger all to do with it. It's a matter of showing discretion, and respect the feelings of the deceased kith and kin.

Farangs are not Thai and never will be, so farangs with bits blown off should not be shown on this mainly farang forum. Anybody here want his butchered body shown on the Net ???.

Cos some of ''US'' will be, for our families to see. Sadly.

seriously a lot of you blokes that are posting here really need to have a long hard look at yourselves, The complete insensitivity and lack of empathy displayed by many symbolises a complete disconnect with the real world. I doubt many of you have any tangible real world relationships with family or friends. Oswald was a much loved man and you are tarnishing his reputation. I suggest you set up your own thread somewhere and compare how empty your lives are.

Hey, all of us are sorry about Oswald. I'm sure he was a lovely bloke.

Don't be offended, though, if the discussion moves beyond memorializing and into an examination of violence in Thailand in general. This is, after all, a discussion board.

adapting to not drinking in LOS is a steep hill to climb. Well, for me.

people say thai people have no intelect, the landing system for vehicles off to mars were all but given up on until a thai desighned one.

We're not talking about 'intellect' aka being smart, but 'intellectualism' which is the pursuit of knowledge of one's self, particularly about the human condition in fields such as psycology, philosophy, antropology, political science, history, art and the like.

Being highly knowledgable in one area is just an expression of dedication and probably some intelligence. However, the need and want to pursue knowledge of ourselves is what separates an intellectual from say a highly trained (brain work) professional.

And we're also not talking about knowledge snobs as I call them, who think knowledge without purpose/frame is worth anything.

I'd say the hallmark of an intellectual is curiosity, almost a childlike curiosity of the world. An intellectual simply can't stop being curious about how things and people work.

@maxme.

I am no better than anyone on a chat forum. Face to face perhaps, perhaps not.

Why where there no sheets on the bed? Bare mattress in the picture.

Off the charts? Stats, please, out of the over 10 million who come here every year?

Maybe the stats for those who married/shacked up with bargirls would be better.

I would say that the stats for expats murdered by bargirl wives and girlfriends would be reasonably higher than those expats married to decent educated thai women. A huge difference I would think.

Would indeed be an interesting stats...... How many bar girls can afford a hitman?????

It has to have 4- doors and be under a mill, yes?

No, it can be a smart cab.

Full list here for the pickups: https://firstcar.exc...up_19092555.pdf

And here for the cars: https://firstcar.exc...ar_06092555.pdf

The amount of rebate is included in the last column.

Am l right you cannot get the 100,000 with a truck ?

No, you're wrong. For a 4-door pickup truck the rebate can be 100.000 Baht.

Does it only apply to an Isuzu thanking them for buying one ?
