  1. I worked for 40 years; fully taxed & insured in UK. They froze my pension so I get 350 UKP State Pension per MONTH. Wonder if our Ambassador knows/cares. I still pay tax on it!
  2. His cars/house/valuables should be confiscated. He should stand trial for murder. Most likely he will get a 500 baht fine & a couple of wais imposed.
  3. Coming back from Bangkok some time back, I counted NINE vehicles telescoped together in the fast lane. Looking at the above photo, it's easy to see excessive speed was the main contributor.
  4. I get 3 spoof emails a week saying my account has been suspended. I forward them to Paypal but nothing happens. I have stopped using Paypal.
  5. Thais rarely return money.(to farangs). 'verification steps' will ensure foot-dragging & time wasting.
  6. Does this general have any qualifications/experience of this type of work? Thought not.
  7. Anutin will switch to Sinopharm - got to keep up his mortgage repayments.
  8. Totally correct. Withdrawals were made from ATMs in a town I had never visited. Each transaction was for 10K. (This was before Smartphones.) The BKK Bank manager couldn't have been more disinterested; said my GF had taken my card/PIN despite this being impossible. I told him only the bank knew my PIN; he literally shrugged his shoulders.
  9. It is ironic the photo shows Pattaya's now defunct Go-Go bar - permanently closed.
  10. Yes, Pattaya Plod deserves all the praise it can get courtesy of a 'a freelance reporter'.
  11. Another casualty of the Thai need for speed - brought to you by the most inept police force in the world?
  12. ‘We need to talk about it’, says Thailand mental health chief' - Great talkers the Thais, just not very good at doing.
  13. The only investors who might come would be the Chinese eager to snaffle up businesses they ruined in the first place; BUT China has banned foreign travel for its citizens.
  14. During my 17 years here, I've met a number of Thais who exercise regularly - that number is four; none of them in the police force.
  15. They are greedier than most other nationalities and more stupid.
  16. Sometimes confused with police. The fact that they raided the place twice suggests this month's protection money has not been paid
  17. It'll be exactly the same as few Thais learn anything at school because most Thai teachers are lazy, incompetent, self-entitled, smug, bullying morons.
  18. They're laughing all the way to the bank, probably the same one Anutin uses.
  19. So how does this work? When you go to deposit a huge sum in your savings account, the cashier says 'How are things at your house - fragile?'
  20. Announced today that those who paid in advance for this vaccine but have since been jabbed with available alternatives will NOT get their money back. (As if any Thai EVER returns money!)
