Some people shouldn't reproduce......

Unbelievable how long this thread has gone on; you either believe it or you don't......simple. And the people going on and on with discussions about it aren't going to convince the other side they're right.

A will.

No help, but I had the same issue--along with others, so had the wiring re-done in my house, same thing as before, no improvement in the television going off when fan switch is turned off. I'm not an electrician but tend to go with the shared neutral issue. Sure wish I could find a western trained electrician in the Chonburi area....the Thais I've had in just don't understand enough about electricity. I've had to explain a few things to them, of course everybody lost face when I did that....oh well.

7 to 15!? Unbelievable that's all he could get! It's a proven fact that a large majority of sexual offenders re-offend once out....one of the many good reasons to keep him in longer so he doesn't ruin more families lives.

Good luck, I had a similar situation; police came, evidence/fingerprints taken..............nothing happened........what a surprise.

Yea but how much of that went on fixing up sick Buffalo ..

Exactly! I've been here 25+ years and have spent a hell of a lot more than a Chinese tourist who comes here for a couple of weeks a year. My money spent here has gone DIRECTLY into the Thai economy/people/extended Thai family. Obviously the Thai govt doesn't see the amount of money westerners who live here full time pump into the economy.

If someone told you, in all seriousness, that they talk to invisible beings who control the universe, you’d probably back away slowly, nodding and smiling, while desperately looking for the nearest exit or escape route. If this person then said they wanted to be in charge of your life, you’d probably do the same, but more urgently, and with a view to finding the nearest police officer.

And yet, this happens all the time.........it's called religion.

There was a question on another post; "Do you believe in god?" I answered no to that one, and this article is one of the reasons why I answered the way I did; IF there is a god how can he/she let this happen to this child? I know what the believers will say; "It's the work of the devil." Why didn't god stop the "work of the devil", is he/she not as powerful as the devil? Hmmmm......

Humans can be so sick and evil sometimes........that's why I like dogs more than people. Just put her to death, someone willing to do this to their own daughter probably can't be rehabilitated.

No, not when so many tragedies are inflicted on innocent people, especially children. I can't believe a just God would let these things happen. Of course believers would say it's the work of the devil, whatever......

My house also has this problem, the most I've gotten out of it is around 3-4 years. I've tried pressure washing, wire brushing, letting it dry for a few weeks, primers, water sealers, etc, all to no avail. I agree with what some of the posters are saying; the lime/alkaline leaches into the wall and makes the paint flake off from the inside. Water sealers only serve to keep water out, they don't help when it's coming from within. Anyway, sorry no solutions from me, but I do feel your pain. Seems most buildings in Thailand have this issue.

Arrest warrant issued two years ago and they just now caught him?! Hmmmmm

About the police order to return in 3 months and show your bankbook. I've kept a million baht in the bank for the last 20 odd years just for the retirement visa with no movement of the money. I still work out of the country for about 6 months a year so might not be in country when the 3 month date rolls around. Does anyone know how strict they are on this and if it's just a formality--kind of like the TM 30 twenty four hours after entering? Obviously they'll be able to see the next time I apply that there has been no movement of the money.

More and more hoops to jump through!

Idiocracy....it's real!

For those that haven't heard of it, Idiocracy is a B grade campy movie that is a mirror of what's happening in today's society; basically humans dumbing down. First time I watched I couldn't make it through the whole movie, but after a few times it's unbelievable how the writers could see the future.

The way people perceive "free" is the issue. It's free to people who use it, but not free to taxpayers when the percentage of tax they pay goes up. Someone has to pay for it somewhere, the govt doesn't make or generate money, in fact they spend more than they take in, hence the 22 trillion--and climbing, debt they're in. Instead of a single payer healthcare system how about a "govt stop spending until the debt is lower" system.

My daughter will have an another baby later this month. It will only cost her the gas to the hospital. My mother broke her back a few years ago. She was in the hospital for months at no cost to her. The peace of mind in not having to deal with insurance corporations is priceless.

I'm glad you and your family have had good service with the Canadian health care system and are happy with it. I know three Canadians that are tired of paying the high tax rate and getting less than good care. 

Whenever something like this is proposed I immediately think of who's going to pay for it; the tax payers that's who. The govt doesn't make money, they use tax money to run the govt and fund projects. Plus the US is at a minimum, 22 TRILLION in debt--and probably a lot more if the truth be known, how about we pay that down before we spend any more............before the Chinese call in all that debt.

Saying all that, the US does need cheaper healthcare; costs are ridiculous over there.

Free(?), maybe not such a good idea; If you know any Canadians ask them about the quality of the free healthcare and the tax rate they pay to fund it. "Free" is not free, someone always has to pay.

If parents took more interest in what their kids we're looking at online maybe these types of things wouldn't happen. Or better yet; don't give them electronic devices in the first place until they're older and more responsible.

Today, humans are worst than animals. If you just care to look around, these inhuman activities maybe happening in your own backyard.

Agree totally, I've thought this for years, humans do things to their own species that animals would never do. Unbelievable!
