And more times than not, with a smile.

Scum, the whole lot of 'em!

Deserves them right for going to an Ed Sheeran concert... 😂

They [Thais] ain't seen nothin' yet. 35 THB pants is just the beginning.

Surprised they haven't sued the Thai Enquirer for this condemning article. 😂

This statement alone should have been enough to explain their decision and actions and counter any criticism. Taking legal action is over the top IMHO. Just how immature are these people?

Not once in my many years of travelling have I experienced this.

What cultivar / kind are they? I had the same issue years ago and was told that that particular sort of papaya was ripe when big and green (similar to the ones in your photo). They are ideal for making papaya salad. If, on the other hand, it's the sweet fruit you're after, you might have the wrong sort. No papaya expert, just passing on my experience for what it's worth.

Too true mate. What a sad state of affairs.

😂 Good luck keeping cats out 😂

Whatever you do, it will have to be very, very discreet...

Great news! I too love tomatoes! It's a great feeling to eat the produce you have grown yourself. I collect the seeds from my toms to sow the following season. If interested, drop me a PM and I'll email you a list of what I'm currently growing/collecting. The only thing I would ask for in return is some of your seeds. The same goes to anybody here who would like to swap tomato seeds.

How do I say in Thai "what time does the last bus/train/boat leave at?"

Every time I start to lose faith, I read your posts and know that there must be light at the end of the tunnel again. Thank you Don.

I was/am/was/am striving to grow organically, but sometimes (rightly or wrongly) I feel it's futile here. Despite using organic methods, sprays, etc. once or twice a year I get these infestations and it seems like the organic approach isn't harsh enough to solve the problem. That's why, once or twice a year, I feel like I have no other choice but to turn to the stronger chemical pesticides. The time and effort I have put into, and am still putting into, growing fruit and vegetables simply can't be in vain. Perhaps it is taking me longer to build up a beneficial growing environment, soil fertility, etc. than I had expected. As always, thank you for your feedback. It's very helpful.

So they too can profit from those "special stickers"?

AFFS! Now I've heard it all!

I'm glad she cleared that up! I couldn't sleep worrying about how much she is really worth. 😉

Internet citizens wouldn't be infatuated with other people's business, wealth, etc. if [other] people didn't constantly feel the need to keep their fans up-to-date with absolutely every aspect of their lives.

I'm so glad I live in a country that has absolutely no other issues which need solving.

CCTV was not designed to "prevent" crimes from happening, just to record them as they happened. If your gf's family want to prevent them from stealing, then perhaps a wall/fence around the property may be the solution, considerably more costly, I know. People here don't seem to be into naming and shaming. There seems to be a tendency to solve these issues in a calm manner. If her family have lived with this for years, then why are you getting involved in their way of life (not trying to provoke you, it is a genuine suggestion). I wouldn't get involved unless the criminals were stealing from me.

Wasn't there an issue a few years ago when Deutschland confiscated a certain person's private plane until Thailand paid certain debts? Would love to be a fly on the wall if that nugget came up over dinner. 😂

Am away for a few days but my missus has just sent me these photos. The fruit was taken from my Spanish Lisbon lemon tree, which I sprayed with abamectin 2 weeks ago and again last week with wood vinegar. What are these little red fellas called? Anybody know?

Was there not talk of a canal only a year or two ago? What happened to that idea?

So we have to read the Pattaya "News" to get the dates? Why can't AseanNow print the dates here in the story?
