I honestly don't understand the fuss. As long as you aren't anywhere near the fire zone and risk getting into a situation where they would've to rescue you and you're not a hindrance to rescue efforts and staying on the island doesn't put you in any danger then why can't I continue my holiday? Also, people die in the sea every day, if you go by that then you can't swim in any ocean anymore. Yeah, it's sad that people have died, but then again people die every second of every day. If there was a real danger that the entire island could go up in flames then it would definitely be a great idea to evacuate.

I'd ask a lawyer, if it is possible to set up a contract with your wife that says, if you get divorced the land has to be sold and the money given back to you without your wife getting any money from the sale. If that's possible and she signs it then go for it. Just to be on the safe side!

First expat in Thailand rule: Never, and I mean NEVER get into a relationship with a bargirl, leave alone marry one, because it will never be the love of your life and there’s a 99% chance that it will end badly. You’ll put all your feelings and your money into her, “my parents’ house needs a new roof and my sister’s car broke down and she needs it to get to work, but doesn’t have the money for the repair because she supports here three kids and her parents, every month is something else, bla bla bla” and in the end when it falls apart, like it was crystal clear it would, you’ll be left with a heartache, an empty bank account and with lots of bad blood, asking yourself how you could’ve been so <deleted> stupid despite everyone’s warning. Better send her back to the bar and try to find a normal girlfriend, you know, one that has a regular job and is able to support herself. .

Nope. Not even close! Never even been there or the Americas for that matter.

There's always a way, if you want to get your hands in a gun!

Tell that to the goldshop owner who got robbed several times already or the cops or soldiers, bodyguards etc. There's lot of legitimate reasons why someone would carry a gun. Blanket statements like yours never hold any water!

Might be an occupational thing or just a tough guy.

Because snakes that large can’t eat a fully grown human being, plus at that size they’re fairly slow, too, and humans are not part of their regular food sources either.

Exactly, BUT this only applies to most of the ladyboy prostitutes. The majority of ladyboys and transsexuals that have regular jobs aren’t like that at all. The ones in Pattaya down by the beach road are a disgrace and they need to be dealt with!

I’ve seen it myself. They prostitute themselves along the beach road, try to chat you up and if you say anything that they perceive as being even remotely transphobic they’re on you and they get really nasty because they have a massive chip on their shoulder because they’re ladyboys and can’t handle the rejection. For some reason, most of the transsexuals and ladyboys that aren’t prostitutes aren’t like that at all.

The keyword in my previous post was, if you believe in Satan you have to believe in the EXISTENCE of Christ. I never said Satanist have to belive in Christ. The discrimination thing applies to all major religions. It's always our God is the only one and screw all the other gods that came before or after.

Yes, that's true, but they DEFINITELY do not consider themselves to be Christians. They're Satanists, that's why that word exists because otherwise Satanists as well as Christians would be just called Christians and that's clearly not the case! I mean Satan and Christ are definitely not mutually exclusive and therefore if you believe in Satan you also have to believe in the existence of Christ, but that doesn't make you a Christian. Christians worship God and Satanists worship the devil. Big difference in my opinion!

No, they don't! But you're right about the second part of your post!

Typical skater <deleted>. They skate wherever they want and when people complain about the noise and the damage they do to their property they get mouthy and aggressive and more often than not they use their skateboard as a weapon! They should've just tasered him right there and then!

Satanists are definitely not. Christians! As a matter of fact, they despise Christianity!

Didn’t take me that long to adapt to it at all. I look both ways out of principal! Having said that, going left around a roundabout was a bit of a mind<deleted> the first time, but then again, Bangkok, which is where I lived, is so busy with that you essentially just flow with the traffic wherever it goes, which definitely helps. What also helps is to imagine that you’re on the overtaking lane at all times! ????

Not necessarily. Thai roads are dangerous and the Thais know it. I’ve heard this sentence a million times and the people who said it to me had no way of knowing how I ride my bike!

When someone attacks you you have the right to defend yourself and you have the right to eliminate the threat, which is what the Thai guys did because they responded immediately and they had no way of knowing whether the Brit would stop the attack after just that one slap, so from their point of view the threat was ongoing and therefore it was self-defense. And let’s face it, a threat is only eliminated once the guy gets knocked out or is otherwise incapacitated. For all they know, he could’ve been armed with a knife or brass knuckles or whatever. Was it a bit excessive on their part? Yeah, I’ll give you that, but the guy got off easy! It’s not like they beat him up for minutes after he went down!

He’ll probably sneak over the border when no one is looking!

Huh? The article literally says that the survivors said there was a ship who didn’t help them! Why would they lie auf that?

Exactly!

You have to ask Jingthing about that! He mentioned it first. My post was in response to Jingthing mentioning it.

How can you ignore people who are about to drown?! One can only hope that the responsible people on that ship didn’t see them because having to live with the burden of the deaths of 45 people is probably a hard pill to swallow for most people!

Take some reading comprehension classes, will you, because you’re continuously missing the point of my original post, which I’m gonna spell out now again and for the final time: the Spaniard completely and utterly failed his mission of keeping his and his family’s “reputation” intact. As a matter of fact, he ruined it way worse than what the murder victim could’ve done, AND he should’ve gone to the cops after the blackmail attempt instead of taking matters into his own hands and by that <deleted> up his own and his family members’ lives in the process! If that is jumping to conclusions in your book, then hey, I guess I’ve jumped to conclusions! SMH!!!
