Well, if anyone who would like to offer advice on where they suggest is the current best place to obtain a TV, without making presumptions about my personal life and/or lack of contributions to Thai Society, that would be great. Thank you.

Hi eek,

I think your best bet is laos, theres a company called jacks golf in Bangkok if you phone them there be the ones to tell you what you can and can't do. There website is www. jackgolf .com , a thew freinds i know have done it and said theres no problems. Good luck.

I always new the "I is samui people, i know you you from bullsh1t country i is thai people" were a little on the rough side but this is unreal, if there not thrown off the land from there shack it would be crime against the future of the island.

Chris.

To the Op, try to chill out a little! i live in Thailand and love it, but you sound like you live in a tourist hot spot full of scum bags. Surley you realise that Thailand needs these people to come as the income is vital, except it!

From a very chilled out non right or left wing extreamist.

Sorry for the tough love response but she is not to blame, you are. She is crazy, but you are sane right? I dont think so..... there is something definately wrong with someone that gets hit EVEN ONE TIME by their lover and stays with them... but time after time after time? You have some issues right? Your parents beat you or something so you think this is normal? Not trying to be insulting but you had no boundaries and that is not normal. Now your childrens lives are at risk becuase of your weakness, well dam_n. I really hope one of them isn murdered by the time you find your testicles. You need to do whatever you have to to get your kids out of this country and away from her. She can get supervised visits once shes gone through serious therapy and on medication. DANG!

Damian

Agreed with everything but the comment on the children is a little too harsh, I think that would hurt.

Whats the story or where i can i read about it, please.

Your lucky and unlucky, lucky you didn't get ripped off and unlucky that he couldn't provide his service in finding your destiation.

Youv'e given far to much in IMHO.

You think 85 baht is too much? Please, the look of gratitude on his face was worth far more than the $2.40.

Yes i do think 85 baht is to much, you never got to your destination plus you uped the level of tipping in a non tipping country thus making it worse for the next man "maybe" , 85 baht is "more" than three hours work for an average Thai in a company like Mc Donalds so i do think you gave a bit to much.

Above post. True enough.

For those reporting about the crime levels in areas such as Pattaya and Phuket .......................you really should spend 6 months in my home cityof Manchester UK

My city far outstrips any level of crime in any location of Thailand. Jing jing.

Have you ever seen the crime figures for London and Birmingham? Nottingham?

I for one am glad to be in Thailand.

Google worldwide crime rates, if Manchester had as much crime as Thailand there would be no other crimes in the UK yes UK and thats not mentioning the crimes the Thai police let pass for a few extra Baht.

Your lucky and unlucky, lucky you didn't get ripped off and unlucky that he couldn't provide his service in finding your destiation.

I share the same day as a birthday and it suck's as i like a few beers to say the least, anyway i am where i am and won't be here then. With respect!

More "quality"

Now is anyone really loosing sleep over Thai on Thai crime? How about Malay on Malay crime, is that keeping anyone up at night? For some reason the sods who come to thailand want to be appear sympathetic to Thai issues which do not involve them. Crime is part of Thai culture and I would rather they attack each other than hassel me.

This is a post on Thai-Falang crime not Malay-Malay crime, stick to the topic Jimmy boy.

He will not be charged 500 baht overstay leaving from the airport; nor will he be charged 500 baht airport tax.

Hi, why would he not have to pay for the days overstay? and isn't the 500 Baht departure tax still there?

Regards.

Chris.

If I overstay my tourist visa for 1 day (which I believe is overlooked in terms of fines) at the airport, do they put a different / special mark in my passport tarnishing me as an overstayer?

--matt

You will be fined 500 Baht for your days overstay and don't forget your 500 Baht departure tax.

Chris.

Sorry i should have added, when i got my years visa i had four overstay stamps inside it and it was no problem, good luck.

Playing Pool has just got even better in Bangkok, I have just been to the latest Pool Hall called Sports Academy which is at the Asok Sky train junction located on the 2nd floor above the Seafood Palace and it has to be the best Pool Hall in Bangkok, 10 full size metro brunswick tables and 3 VIP rooms - check it out!!!

SPAM!!!

Attention Tver's, if from the UK do not complain about the system in the UK as there are idiots on this fourm who will brand you a BNP member. What a complete joke!

Why can't peeps accept that Thailand is same same the curates egg? Some of it is good, some bad. You all will have your own ideas on the proportions of each. I realised early on that this was not Paradise and that there was nothing that I could do to make it so. Hence my response to things that irk me is to raise my eyes to heaven and utter the well worn phrase "This is Thailand" with a good measure of exasperation. This usually causes Thais with earshot to grin and if they can put up with the frustrations then so can I, after all their lot is usually a whole lot worse than mine.

To those who whinge continually might I suggest a little proaction and that they get off their backsides and do something about whatever offends or dissatisfies them? What is truly galling is that they offer no practical ideas or methodology to bring change about. All that they offer is 'hot air' and thus cannot be taken seriously. Nobody, however broad minded they say they are, will endure that for long and simply switch off making the exercise pointless.

The banter about the UK seems to miss the point. Immigrants are immigrants and over the past centuries the UK has shown a profit on the deal as have the US, Australasia and South Africa. What is happening now though is colonisation of Western Europe and the same process is on the cards for the rest of the 'civilised world'. The peoples seeking a better life are bringing their own cultures and laws and want us to change ours to accommodate them. They are also out breeding the locals making the exercise appear, to me at least, like a take over. What are the odds on the UK being a Moslem country in the next 50 years or so? The lingua franca of Florida now seems to be Spanish. Thailand it seems is not willing to go down that track and why should they?

My life in Thailand is much richer and satisfying than it could be in the UK and I am grateful (to a degree) to successive Governments for allowing me to make my home here.

You shot yourself in the foot pal, the correct spelling of Moslem is Muslim, so please don't pretend to know to much.

I'm a Brit and yes i moan

Russia 2 - 1 England and being a Spurs supporter, I guess you do have a lot to moan about!

Hi Jamie, yes i do moan, if you don't then your never going to see improvement are you?

So you what a goverment clone of the world or what? no some little boy closet supporter no dought.

Regards.

Why is it that these posts always wind up with someone whinging about immigrants to the UK (Complete with the usual helping of BNP BS)

I love the irony of it – Has it dawned on the Little Englanders around here that ThaiVisa's membership is largely made up of people who are immigrants to Thailand, want to be immigrants to Thailand and/or who took Thai wives back home as immigrants to their own nation.

Look, if you can't keep up with the way life in the UK (actually life everywhere) is changing, quit blaming immigrants, who as has been stated above, are by and large harder working and more willing to work than the indigenous 'Hand-Out Britons' and get your bum in gear and make your own life…. OK I accept, perhaps you are having it a bit tougher than most because you didn't pay attention at school – but who's fault is that?

Yes agreed, i've been here two years now and i'm looking at a passport already plus the welfares great along with the free health care, i've even managed to get my kids enroled to a good school funded by the goverment. Plus i've got total freedom of speach compaired to what they gave me in my homeland.

I'm a Brit and yes i moan, if i moaned here in Thailand they way that the aliens moan in the UK i would go to prison or be kicked to death, so if getting a little whinging out on a fourm helps people let them do it.

England 3-0 Estonia France 9-14 England Today i'm not moaning.

Thais thinking every westerner is rich, then expecting every westener to spend there money like they would.

Exactly my point longway, they provoked the situation and when it backfired they come crying. They should have just left or paid for the guys drink etc.. Im not saying what the thai guys did was right (it wasnt) but if they want to play at threatening someone so they back off they should be willing to pay the price.

.

<deleted>! i've had a couple of drinks knocked over before by Thais in night clubs and some havn't said sorry or for sure have no way offered to pay for a new one. What advice do you give me on this.

The Thais in that situation got what they wanted.

Hi All,

as regard's to evidence been shown for those who are intrested please look at this video clip, at around the 2.30 min mark your see the tiger Temple and how there kept, for those who now about Tigers your know that they need aroung 10 squred miles of terrain to themselves, please make your minds up.

Regards.

Chris.
