Countries need to be careful of the Chinese, they're looking out for themselves, not anyone else. Yes, the countries gain some things short term but there's a price to pay--like what's happening in Sihanoukville, and in the long term the price will be even more immense.
The Malaysian prime minister saw this happening with a project called Forest City, basically the Chinese were building it and marketing it for the Chinese, not Malaysians. Now the PM has seen the light and banned foreigners from buying any of the properties. It's good to see some world leaders can see through the short term financial gains that the Chinese offer and look ahead to the future. The belt and road initiative is a dangerous thing IMHO; as time goes by the belt gets tighter and tighter.

The islamists use the awful loudspeaker to intimidate the people in the area, Islam is a religion designed to be in your face and fear is also used to keep its members from rejecting it.
Agree totally! It's not about them having alarm clocks, apps or whatever to tell them the time to pray--that would be too easy, it's about influencing the infidels--their word not mine, around them to accept the fact that this area is muslim; it's all psychological.

Singapore got it right on this issue many years ago. You can be whatever religion you want, as long as it doesn't disturb other people.......like wailing out the call to prayers; not muslim bashing, just an example.

That's funny, I've never heard the general worried about--(insert any other nationality besides chinese here).....funny how that works. What's that Meja song(?), It's all about the money, money, money..............

The more things change, the more they stay the same in Pattaya! The ineptitude just keeps rolling in like the tide!

That's pretty funny! I don't see much relief or a system!

China ends up owning the project and has an ever tightening noose around the borrower's neck.
Agree with this totally, China is in it for the long run and the end goal; it's not about the individual projects they fund in the many different countries right now, it's about many many years into the future.

Be careful of belts, they can tightened to where they're uncomfortable to wear.

Kind of like that bus station in Pattaya on north road used to do; haven't used them in years but I can't imagine all the money they--or a certain cashier, took in!

Making the people afraid of you will have this kind of result.

I did this a few years back and the bank gladly took my money then made the payments as per the schedule.........not exactly what I wanted. Guess something got lost in translation, or they were very clever and knew what they were doing......still getting the interest. Make sure you understand how they're going to do it, IF, they'll do it.

RIP to the little girl and condolences to her family.
What is wrong with the Thai justice system to allow this sentence to be so lenient. I saw another article in TV that mentioned doing wheelies could get you 3 months....unbelievable!

Police work was great, too bad it doesn't happen this well on some of the high profile cases. Guess the Frenchman didn't have enough money to make the case stall, then finally just fade away........like a LOT of cases we all know about.

I can't believe all the lame excuses I've heard in Thailand for this type of issue. Do they really think the people are that stupid to believe their b******t?! I guess they've got a lot of the population scared and they won't say anything. Some other countries come to mind with the same type tactics to control their people.

Forget about changing the gun laws, 2nd amendment is too big of an issue...........tax ammunition HEAVILY; that way the second amendment doesn't come into play......like it always does with this issue. People can have as many guns as they want, they'll just have to pay dearly to be able to shoot them.

I hate to say it but basically it's "reap what you sow". I believe it's a combination of a gun culture with a huge amount of guns in the hands of the public combined with people losing touch with reality because of social media. It's a combination of many social issues but having guns readily available exacerbates the situation.
Ok, go ahead gun advocates and say how if someone would have had a gun they could have taken the guy out....agreed, but if the gunman didn't gave a gun to start with this wouldn't have happened. I know, I know, second amendment and all.

If what you say is true, you've done more than enough for this family, get out before any more damage is done--financially or emotionally.........if that's possible! Wait and see how much her "cousin" takes care of her or her family once you're gone, yeah right! Pretty sure he'll be down the road when he realizes the ATM machine has closed.

What was your biggest medical bill and why?

Just looked at the profile of this doctor; same doctor I had a few years ago for a bone spur in my shoulder. I can vouch for him; he told me what the problem was, explained what the operation would entail, performed the operation and everything came out just as expected. If I have any problems in the future I'll use him and I can definitely recommend him to anyone with orthopedic issues.
