Aussie dad gets into fistfight with monkeys on Ko Phi Phi in Thailand
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Krabi News
I remember long ago on phi phi watching tourists come spread a blanket and head for the water.....a lot of monkeys lived on the cliffside and would sit and watch ready to launch their attack. They would run down grab any bags and immediately head back up the cliffs out of reach. I would guess some thai guys would climb the cliffs later and score a lot of stuff as the monkeys were obviously more interested in food than personal items or $$....no doubt a big pain in axx for the tourists if your passport/$$ /credit cards were in bag. -
I long ago stopped wearing anything with any visible logo as i don't want to attract any attention, i don't want to be a walking billboard. I just want to mind my own business and be left alone from those who might compliment me or criticize me or be drunk and want to get into some kind of argument. Seems to me that shirts etc covered in logos are for little kids, not adults. Just my opinion.

Thai tour guides upset with illegal Foreign tour guides
pomchop replied to Social Media's topic in Pattaya News
I suspect it is ok for a tour guide who travels with the group from their home country to Thailand to be a tour leader as long as he/she returns with the group to the home country. Very different than a farang who lives in Thailand to try and provide tour guide services which I suspect but am not sure is what is happening. -
Pattaya baht buses are one of the biggest bargains ever unless you attempt to talk to the driver in which case he may well think you want him to take you straight away to your destination like a taxi. Just shut up, get in and you will rarely be expected to pay more than 10 baht for the standard routes. In spite of all the nitpicking it is the perfect transport system for Pattaya. Just imagine if all baht buses were gone and there were big 50 pax buses roaring around trying to get through narrow streets or a few hundred more taxis carrying one or two passengers at a time.

Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday
pomchop replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I believe they have had all sorts of investigations and recounts in Fulton county done by republicans and came up with NO evidence of anything that did not say the election results were and are accurate...try and keep up.....or maybe you want the Ninjas to go to Georgia like they did in AZ and waste every ones time and resources to come up with NOTHING in their "forensic audit"...when will trumpers ever get it through their kool aide induced comas to realize that trump LOST the election. 60 court cases recount after recount over and over and over and yet they still cling to same old tired lie that somehow the election was rigged. Pitiful. If you in your infinite conspiracy theory wisdom have any hard real evidence that the election was rigged you should lay it on the table for all to see ...you will be a hero to the kool aide crew and probably get your very own show on Fox where you can promote lies on air and then text to your fellow Foxers about what a total pile of BS the "rigged election" truly was/is. -

poor little donnie everybody's always picking on him and he is a fine law abiding christian who has never ever done one thing wrong or illegal in his life.....and thanks to all that fake news that told and continues to tell their brain dead viewers how wonderful he is while they text each other behind the scenes that he is a total nutcase and only a fool would believe any of his multitude of lies..... -
The beauty of using an agent.
pomchop replied to JeffersLos's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
How many people who use shady agents to get around the law on things like having 800 k in the bank are the same people who complain about corruption/bribes in Thailand? -
But the Thai voters don't care what you think. It is their country and their elections and if any Thai people want to challenge the leader then they have a judiciary to try and remove them....it is not done by rolling tanks into the streets...unless of course you prefer military dictators who want to line their pockets and overthrow election results that they don't like.
-
Or another solution would be to honor the voters choice instead of a bunch of cowardly thugs seizing control with tanks in the middle of the night like a banana republic and deciding that they alone know best for all thai voters.

Here we go again....the same bunch that still clings to the tired lie that the election was stolen in spite of recount after recount investigation after investigation and conclusions publicly stated by multiple republicans that it is all a BIG LIE to say there was any significant election fraud. Now the same bunch wants to try and claim that the attempted coup was a nice peaceful visit to the capitol in spite of massive and overwhelming videos showing very clearly a massive amount of violence that anyone with an IQ in triple digits would recognize was not just a tour group. Pathetic and pitiful and dangerous that anyone is still pushing these same old lies. We get it that a lot of people liked Trump and think of him as some kind of savior. That does not make lies true. Move on. Admit you bought into the big lie and take off the tin foil hats.

sure another great idea.......u do know that there is 40,000 HOURS of video? It would take u 4.5 YEARS to watch it all...the average american has an attention span of about 1 minute if that.....anyone with a clue has seen enough of the live videos to know it wasn't a tourist group just visiting the capitol that day .

I think he is a troll as nobody who watched hour after hour of live time footage could post such total nonsense.. .." Lying is bad. Lying for 2 years and holding farcical show trials they knew were nonsense is a new low in the left's dishonesty - although totally unsurprising after they refused to release footage(nothing to hide, nothing to fear?) Sad so many were taken in by the insurrection narrative."

Fistfight in Pattaya Leaves Australian Tourist With Head Injuries
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
But they just love to blame a Thai without reading the details..it's what they do...if a Thai was involved then it must be the Thai that started it all....in this case it certainly appears that according to the oz guy HE started it and the Thai guy finished it. -
Education Ministry to Recruit Retired Teachers as Volunteer Educators
pomchop replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Actually the thai teachers loved it when i would teach their classes as they sat there and played on their phone most of the time...saved them having to do much of anything. -

So you want to teach hi so rich kids....nothing wrong with that but perhaps you should not be so dismissive of the rest who didn't grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth....they are not all floozies or hawkers but perhaps in your hi so environment they are not worthy of your high standards of education. -

Never said reading and writing are not important...of course they are. But if you can't speak or understand spoken English good luck with med school or overseas scholarships. Further the vast majority of public school kids in Thailand are no more going to med school or overseas than they are going in a spaceship to Mars. I am all for reading writing speaking and understanding English for any who want to give it a shot. Not one in a thousand of the kids I taught in the "sticks" will likely ever leave Thailand as they are dirt poor and not going to some elite school. But at least I feel like a few of them did improve their speaking / understanding skills/confidence by practicing with the old farang and the old farang also learned a lot about Thai kids and how to learn together and have a lot of fun doing it.
