Utter bullsh.t.  Been driving taxi in Germany. Received a lot of tip. 90 % very pleasant people.

The only bullshit comes from you. My post was very clear and I pointed out that tips are not needed if you forget your bag in a taxi as it is expected to return the bag to the passenger.

You seem to either not understand English or just have a another bad day in Thailand.

Thanks for your positive thinking. But no, he is suggesting that Germans are too miserly to give any reward.

This is absolutely nonsense. Been driving taxi in Germany myself. They tip quite generously.

MobileContent seems to be a very negative person. Pity him.

Of course they tip well but Taxi drivers don't expect a tip for returning a bag they left a few minutes before in the taxi. If you don't return the bag you will be charged by the police and loose your taxi licence. 

In Thailand it is a different story.

As for me a trip from Tegel Airport to Kreuzberg cost me around 24-25 Euros and I always tip and rounded up to 30 Euros.

The only guy that is negative is you

Absolute rubbish you are talking. He even accuses me in PM to read Bild and I put shame on Germany on this forum. 

TO MAKE THE POINT CLEAR IF SOMEONE LOOSES A BAG IN A TAXI AND COMES BACK TO CLAIM HIS BAG THEIR IS NO NEED TO PAY A REWARD.

For gods sake do I have to pay a reward in a restaurant or hotel if I forget my bag. It is expected to return as it is a service industry. If the taxi was called by phone the driver would have bring back the bag and maybe the fare would have been paid.

As for the Isaan taxi driver I do feel he deserved it and I am happy for him. In Thailand, I would have certainly given him 10K. As for the German Taxi driver I am happy I have no taxi friends from Germany but I count my 20+ taxi drivers in Thailand as my true friends.

4000 is a bit tight.For that amount 30 - 40 thousand would say a better thankyou.Bet he wished he nicked it now,look at his face.

If you are in a German taxi, the driver would have got nothing. 

Some farangs came to our village and then told my Mother in law come with me to bum bum I give you 500 Baht. Since then I don't allow farangs that I don't know to come to my place. Most I have met is real trash and I prefer the company of Thai's.

NKK all the poles here in UK have a job, they dont claim jobseekeres allowance.

They just work and claim tax credits and like you say child allowance.

The locals teenagers who cant get a job are labelled as scrotes as there are little jobs available, unless your Polish .

The poles work in most job agencies now too and give jobs to their polish bro's.

In Germany we have 92,000 Poles that get welfare which cost the state 441 million Euro a year. Romanians (63,000), Bulgarians (73,000). Only the Turks are the top of the line with 240,000 that  claim benefit and that cost Germany over a billion Euro. 

Not included are housing allowance.

LOL - Pure PR by the police. The kid could have paid the fine on the spot

Actually, when a body is swinging then its pretty common practice to cut him loose and see if CPR will get him breathing...save a life and all that.

I thought he was burned down with the house.

At the side of the property investigators found the body of Andrew Green Thomas, a fifty-six-year-old Englishman, hanging from a water tank platform. Rescue teams released the body.

Did they actually waited for the police to arrive before they tampered all over the place.

In Germany it is standard procedure for the fire brigade to bring the fire under control and then the police will do the investigation.

Just sickening to read the article.

As long they stay in-house during the night they should be ok.

That place should be closed

Very sorry to hear. I hope this story ends up well and the parents are back united with their daughter. As for the guy he is a big <snip> because their are no school holidays currently and if he would have some brain he wouldn't have taken her.

Let's all convert to Islam for world peace. They would not have it any other way.

Sunni or Shi'ite?

My only option would be Sufi.

Great open minded Muslims but sadly prosecuted by the fanatics

".... the automobile was imported into the country in 2011 and was a donation from a disciple who was living in the US."

Strange thing to "donate".

Surely the donation should go to the Wat and not the Abbot?

You are spot on but sadly the abbot runs the temple and often things it is his one.

So he cannot marry her because he is married. He pays money....if sex is involved if her age is less than 20 that is illegal.

I think not. 18 years is the legal age to bang around and this advise I got from my embassy. In addition hotels have to report to the police if prostitutes under the age of 18 years are following clients in the room.

I think the mayor is just stupid.

To marry a 17 year old is permitted as long the parents permit it. When I met my Mrs she was 17 years 8 months also she did told me she was 21 years which I believed until I have seen her id card. Would I marry her again? Absolutely she is the best what could have happen to me.

What I don't like about the mayor is that he stripped a member of the press and confiscated items from the journalists and for that one he needs to be punished. As he is associated to the Red shirt group in Isaan I expect him to be charged with something, however if he is not political active he might get away with it with a slap on his back.

People are crazy not to think that when push, comes to shove, so called moderate Muslims will take the side of the extremists.

Moderate Muslims don't get involved because the extremists are controlling large areas and those moderate Muslims are frightened.

Its the liberal Muslims that are the only one that are against the fanatics. I have seen fights between Liberals and Fanatics in Berlin but the liberals are to small in numbers as the moderates don't side with anyone and look the other way.

I'm concluding that this almost daily wave of attacks is a consequence of Brexit, which must translate into the perception that they are disliked by Europe and perhaps about to be rejected. Once the deportations begin it will get worse. What a mess.

Your post is beyond idiotic. 'Brexit'? Like the refugees/economic migrants know what that even means, never mind the fact negotiations for exit haven't even started. Christ .. (no pun intended).

BTW, has it occurred to anyone else that this neoliberal Hollande/Merkel instigated disaster is unstoppable? Syria? Bomb 'em Afghanistan? Bomb 'en. Libya? 'Bomb 'em. Notwithstanding their countries were invaded for their oil anyway. Bomb the entire continent of Europe to eliminate that which you've recently welcomed? Who is sane here? This Will Never End. Ever.

Brexit is all about anti-immigration. The immigrants know that, and the hostility towards them has already been seen on the streets as a direct result of Brexit. Why suppose that immigrants don't read the news or social networks? They are certainly aware of the mounting anti-immigrant vibe. Where am I losing you?

The sociology of these attacks is transparent. They're all feeling more threatened - for good reason - and nothing incites violence more than feeling threatened.

First of all the Brexit was not only about migrants but had much more to do how Brussels is run. So in your theory those attackers that are part of ISIS feel threatened by the Europeans. Most governments in Europe were horrified when Mutti Merkel opened the gates and I was last October for two weeks in Berlin (Kreuzberg/Neukoelln) and my Muslim friends told me Merkel is nuts and even those liberal Muslims told me without documents no one should enter the country.

Some chap on TVF said just two days ago on Tuesday will be Belgium but it hit once again France.

What is going on with Europe

Easy to double your money in three hours.

I put 100,000 Baht on Juventus against Tottenham

Just got an email this morning from Lagos and I told him thanks I received the 20 million USD already from Iraq but I have nothing heard back yet.

Suppose a guy pays Sinsod of 50,000 Baht to have a Buddhist engagement party (Man) and the gal pulls off a stunt and goes with another guy, then the woman should pay double back because she broke of the engagement.

In our village a nice bird virgin got married for 60,000 Baht (Traditional) and the guy dumped her after 6 months. The bird can keep the 60,000 Baht because the guy paid already. Last week the girl came back and told everyone the guy left her in Bangkok and she is now 2 months pregnant.

As I said Thailand is a Banana Republic and the cops take on the case just not to upset the army.

No mention of nationality but i would not be shocked if he was a Muslim they love spreading their religion of peace.

I don't think so. In America shooting happen all the time and its part of their culture to shoot each other but I could be wrong. In Europe its a different story most of the time.

Around 12 years ago I was offered a well paid job in L.A. and also the money was good (250,000$ pa) I turned it down and prefer Thailand as it is more save.
