I sure hope that his 'orphanage' does not include taking children from families, as so many do. 75% of children in 'orphanages', are not orphans! Don't make more orphans by giving to them.

Fly Air Asia to Chiang Rai. Probably cheaper than the bus.

thank you for your help to the above posters.

This should read: As for the U.S., the PM said it was still necessary for the Thai government to trade and invest with all countries despite the U.S.’ CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of Thailand’s internal affairs.

Sad story. I dont understand why something is noty done through the drivers insurance company?

If it was a farang driving I think he would be liable to look after the entire family for the rest of his life.

Time for Thai Visa to raise money for the poor women

The members should give back to Thailand

I am not waiting I am sending money

Harry WHERE are you sending money? Would like to help also, though there are some questions about how to do that.

Who knows how we would locate/contact her to provide some help?

Not going to miss him! Just a sleaze 'journalist any how. Maybe if you investigate before you publish, you get sued less? '

Last night refused by 7 taxis from Soi 5 to Soi 77. Went to the poice, they sent over a cop. The next taxi refused, claimed he was going off duty (with his red light on and waiting for a fare). Cop did nothing. 2nd (very rude) driver took me, shouting most of the way about the police. <deleted> them. Getting only exact change from now on.

This little Lahu boy will now be brought up as a Thai Buddhist, in institutional care.  Far from a perfect solution.

 Where are the Lahu organizations to help him??

Wait and see boys. There are only tuk-tuks here now. Could be a very good thing!

1.8 kw should use 1.8 kw/hr. If you pay 6 baht a kw, then you are about right in your calculation (6x 1.8 x hrs. run). Still much cheaper than A/C. Would love to find a small heater here in LOEI, but there are none! Enjoy the warmth.

electric consumption on a gadget is never given in kWh but in kW or W only.

This is why we hire bi-lingual Thais. Farangs are just so inflexible, too much trouble and unable to communicate with the students.

Hiring the bi-lingual Thais is a wonderful solution.......unless you really want them to speak English.

Highly recommend Pro Language. Gee, I wonder why the owner of the place would be recommending his course?

Wouldn't recommend Walen EVER!! Try Pro Language or any other place. I've heard very good things about Pro Language if you really intend to learn Thai.

Isn't there a place called 'Ice Bar'? Farang owned and friendly?

Good luck w the Pattaya police. Very surprised that they were smart enough to look for CCTV footage.

never got it back, one a farang from my own country. I'm done lending!

LAWYER.....why should she benefit from trying to screw you?

Failing shouldn't be a surprise the way this place is run.

I wouldn't expect the truth and I wouldn't expect the Pattaya do any kind of real 'investigation'. Incompetent comes to mind.

New TV series coming soon - "CSI Thailand"

...and its offshoot CSI Pattaya, which I believe is to be a comedy.

They won't even investigate a crime when there is a CCTV recording of it. This stands no chance of success. Have to agree.....a comedy!

APRIL FOOLS!!

Is this just targeting foreigner? WHY?
