So, if I read this correctly, the guy gad a bight out in Bangkok and voluntarily decided (he was not forced into having a face tattoo and had a bad reaction to it, It does not say if he had been tattooed before, nor does it mention if he has an allergy to the black tattoo ink. WHY are we supposed to feel sorry for him, and why is he complaining about something that is most probably his own fault anyway.

For some obscure reason NO Trump supporters appear to have shown up for this thread.

I think that the only thing the the UK embassy NEEDS, is the return of his passport. IMHO they are of little other use to the majority of expats on Thailand.

And what ceasefire would that be, I wonder?

But that doesn't matter to Trump or MAGA supporters Trump can't be guilty of anything, even if he admits it, they will simply dismiss it as fake news.

What a sad lonely life the thumbs down giver on my previous post must live, if he has no faith or trust in people.

And what year was that?

And I do have great faith in her, after knowing my wife since 1993 and married to her since April 2000.

Why SHOULD the Gulf States pay to rebuild Gaza? They didn't destroy it. Israel did with the connivance of the USA, who supplied the weapons to do it with. Let them pay to rebuild it. If Trump wants the USA to help pay the cost, then HE will have to explain to the US taxpayers will have to pay part of the cost.

Personally I don't see why the embassy is involved with the cremation in the first place.

How do you know that they are leftists or even woke? Have you even met any Canadian tourists? Most countries want tourists. They are in the country for a relatively short time and spend money. Any country makes money from tourists.

IMHO any of the Epstein files that do get released and ARE redacted or go missing, will point directly to the DoJ and Trump's diktats, and the whole lot will be accused of bring fake, and the cry for unredacted and complete files will grow louder and longer.

There don't seem many about today for some odd reason on this thread. I wonder why?

Sadly the cost of living id going up across the whole of Thailand whilst the politicians do what they do best. They talk a lot but achieve nothing.

YOU might need to be told the difference, but the majority of smart people will look at the thread and see that the contents are about Indians from the sub continent of India, all of who are immigrants. Exactly the same people as those who supposedly hate them. Otherwise they would be called Native Americans who lived there long before the white people killed them off and stole their land. Secondly, you are not supposed to hate anyone.

That sounds simple and easy and just right for rural Thailand

Probably because women have far more sense than men.

It isn't.

I wonder where that was, as I live 6 km away from Klong Lan and there are NO convenience stores in the market area. In fact the market area is on both sides of the road, though there is a 7/11on the main road out of the village towards Nakhon Sawan.

TBH, I don't see why it cannot be done, perhaps that would be to simple,

We live in rural Kamphaeng Phet some 350 km from Bangkok and the British embassy in a small Thai Moo Ban. AFAIK there are NO funeral directors out here and most deaths are dealt with by the Pu Yai Ban, the Amphur and the Police from the Amphur. I have not been to the embassy since it was still on Wireless Road in BKK. I doubt if they have any knowledge of any Brit living in rural Thailand. My wife, 21 year old son and I are all insured through the local insurance scheme which is done by the Pu Yai Ban so our cremation costs are covered with perhaps a bit left over for a few wets for anybody who comes the see me off. IMHO if the embassy IS told of my death my (frozen) state pension will be stopped and the news will spread to the others, especially the military. The way that I look at it is that the embassy is not that interested while I am alive, so why should they care if I am dead?

My problem is that I am 81 and I get 3 pensions. 1 A frozen State pension which dies with me 2 A military pension and my wife will get 50% 3 A company pension and my wife will get 50% The problem is that they are all UK based and each require the Thai documents to be translated to English. They each have a list of a bereavement form which they will NOT release until after notification of my death which IMHO is really stupid. I am a believer in the K I S S principle and if the documents are sent to me BEFORE my death, I can download them, help my wife of 25 years to get both pensions, As an aside, anybody who has a Wise account should be told that as soon as Wise is notified of your death, the account is frozen and your wife/GF will need to make a separate claim (with proof of your relationship) to get YOUR money released. The Wise account is in YOUR name only and cannot be a joint account or transferred to her name. Has anybody helped a widow get a military or com[any pension and still have a copy of the bereavement form that I could use. I understand that it is a faint hope but I have to try. My wife speaks and reads English reasonably well but is computer hopeless.

If I can download it, I would like the Last Post by a bugler of the Royal Marines Band. This will do nicely. https://www.google.com/search?q=The+last+post+by+RM+buglers&sca_esv=f84ae5225a953008&sxsrf=AE3TifO497ZycFOSWAuau-bHfzLYpTLzfA%3A1763284748844&source=hp&ei=DJcZaY73L5GO2roPs4iIsQU&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaRmlHCZs9l-3JNfRMmFaX4HfZWNk2pah&ved=0ahUKEwiOrdvIq_aQAxURh1YBHTMEIlYQ4dUDCBg&uact=5&oq=The+last+post+by+RM+buglers&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhtUaGUgbGFzdCBwb3N0IGJ5IFJNIGJ1Z2xlcnMyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUic5ARQAFi7wQRwAHgAkAEAmAHMAaABgyuqAQcxNy4zMy4xuAEDyAEA-AEBmAIzoAKULsICDBAjGIAEGBMYJxiKBcICBxAAGIAEGBPCAgkQABiABBgTGArCAgoQABiABBgKGMsBwgINEAAYgAQYxwMYChjLAcICBhAAGBYYHsICCBAAGBYYChgewgIFEAAY7wXCAgQQIRgVwgIEECMYJ8ICCBAAGIAEGMsBwgIKEAAYBxgIGAoYHsICCBAAGAcYCBgewgIGEAAYCBgewgIEEAAYHsICCBAhGKABGMMEmAMAkgcGNS40NS4xoAf9-QGyBwY1LjQ1LjG4B5QuwgcJMC4xNi4zMi4zyAf8AQ&sclient=gws-wiz#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:245d4034,vid:_PijFZPDp6A,st:0 I was never a Bootneck, but I was a Crabfat for 25 years and that music always brings a tear to my eye, even though I am 81. I would like it to be played at full volume.

Why SHOULD America be first anyway? Why NOT China, Singapore, S Korea, Japan or any other country?

IMHO reforming the BBC is a good idea. However, before reforming the BBC, why not start by reforming politics and sacking EVERY politician. local and national, who lies? After a clean sweep of them, go on and sweep every person employed by the local or national government. As for Trumps reputation being damaged, NO serial liar or convicted felon has a good reputation anyway. If you want to sue a UK company, then sue them in the UK.
