Why are most movies released post-2000 unwatchable?
jesimps replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Entertainment
Woke? I refuse to be brainwashed by the lefties, so am careful what I watch. Mainly carefully selected documentaries. -
Phuket taxi driver hits foreign man on airport zebra crossing
jesimps replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
In the UK if a pedestrian is stood waiting to cross, you must by law stop for them. In Thailand, you should cross anywhere BUT a zebra crossing, because even if someone stops for you, pound to a penny that another vehicle will ignore the light and pass him. -
Swastika Flags Flown During Donald Trump Boat Parade in Florida
jesimps replied to shdmn's topic in Political Soapbox
Never seen a more obvious stitch-up in a long time. -
I think a person should be allowed to do what they want with their own property. Thailand, thankfully, is not the UK.

Trump doesn't chicken out, least of all to that brain dead nincompoop Harris. He would cross the road for a fight normally, but only if he figures that he has some competition.

Drunk Indian Tourist Assaulted After Harassing Woman on Pattaya Beach
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I lived and worked in Delhi for four years and don't recall ever going outside of my compound with a western lady without being bothered by locals. Especially outside of the city at temples etc, we'd be followed around by hoards, some of them "accidentally" brushing past the ladies and touching them. My blonde daughter who was in her early teens was like a magnet to them. The old "can I have a photo taken with you" was a regular request and an excuse for touching. It even happened here in Pattaya when my daughter was visiting, only this time I wasn't so outnumbered and managed to chase them off. Not all, but an awful lot of them need to develop some self control. -
Not my medical clinic, they refused.

I got mine done at the police station on Beach Road Pattaya, next door to Central Mall for 200 baht. They knew exactly what to do and I was in and out in a few minutes. Every other prominent Thai person I tried refused to do it.

Ask this question next year after the tax demands have been sent out.

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand

So what? Doesn't make it right. Unbelievable some of the people on here. -
14-Year-Old Girl Fatally Stabs Grandmother Following Heated Argument
jesimps replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
With the alleged verbal abuse I would expect the child to be angry, but to repeatedly stick a knife into someone, something has to be mentally wrong with her. I mean, there's no way I could ever imagine going through the act of shoving a knife into a human being, let alone my own grandmother. Most normal people I'm sure would cringe at the thought of even punching someone else. The child in my opinion is a danger and should be kept away from the public. -
I doubt it, but I know someone on the other side of the US political spectrum who does.

Wise removes Long Stay Reason on Transfers
jesimps replied to bastco's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I've been using "Personal expenses" for several years and it always appears in Bangkok Bank as "international Transfer". Not saying that it's the same for everyone, but it is the case for me. -

jesimps replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
......and we all know why those Dems voted against, don't we. Going on past posts, they'll have a few like minded friends on here too no doubt. -
Social Media Outrage as Tourists Blatantly Urinate on Pattaya Beach
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The dogs crapping on the beach is a far greater problem. -
I had it many years ago in England and it was agony. I've lived in Thailand for seventeen and a half years and it's never returned. Hopefully just a once in a lifetime experience.

Violent Brawl Between Drunk Australian Tourists Shocks Pattaya
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
What I saw on that video is nothing compared to the drunken violence I saw in the small town where I worked before leaving the UK. At least here the police intervened whereas back there they sat in their vans watching. -
Brawl on Bangla Road, Transgender Woman Assaults Tourist
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Sounds like you're obsessed by race. In all my years of using the bars in Pattaya, I don't think I've ever seen a single example of racism. One man's money is as good as the next seems to be the attitude and I've never seen the girls turn away a girly drink from a non-white. Go to Walking Street on any evening and you'll see many races co-existing and enjoying themselves. In fact, it's right in the middle of where the middle-easterners and Indians like to stay. In my opinion, it's opinions like yours that cause racial division.
