Yep, and a lot safer than the city of our birth. I've lived in the Pattaya area for 18 years and feel a lot more secure than I did walking along Everton Road after the pubs let out. Never had any probs all the time I've been here and after visiting many places in Thailand, wouldn't live anywhere else.

They're her friends, why shouldn't she? Although friends like those, who needs enemies!? Shows how poor her and her fellow Democommies choices are.

Not if she was the last commie on this planet.

Don't tell me, you support the Democommies and are probably from a minority group.

Disagree with what you said about her looks, she appears quite fit to me, in fact if she played her cards right.......

The attitude of my local tax office seems to back that up because they refused point blank to issue me a TIN. Told me I had a British Passport so I should pay tax to the UK. Which I do.

I would say that number one least popular VP must be Ms Harris. You don't have to be a political expert to know that.

They're ok for the occasional visit as long as they don't charge to enter.

I'm not bewildered. He was hoping for a freebie. Must be some rough bar girls around there.

Not only in Pattaya, but all over the WORLD! Anywhere young male members of a certain demographic descend en masse has problems with them. Instead of being grateful for being accepted by the host nation, they seem to feel entitled to act as they please. Pleased to see at least one police force not afraid to upset them.

If you want to go down that road then the US should belong to its indigenous people and the rest of you forced into the sea or worse. You can't have jam on both sides.

That's probably what they said in Germany in the 1930s.

Think the UK for the last month or so since Labour came to power. I see they closed lots of main roads in Central London yesterday so they could celebrate Pakistan Day.

Never thought I would've given that an upvote, but there you go.

To get a TIN from my local tax office at Jomtien I reckon I'd have to beat it out of them. I went there with my Thai missus a couple of months back and they flatly refused to issue one. The lady behind the desk said something like "You have British passport, you pay tax in your own country. Need number only if you work here". No amount of reasoning could convince her, so I left numberless.

Why not? They have everything else. Break dancing for goodness sake. I haven't watched the olympics since it turned pro so I don't care what rubbish they include in them.

My school in UK must have been at least two miles from my house and we never had a motorcycle, or for many years a bicycle even. I used to walk there and back every schoolday in whatever weather the British climate threw at me. If we had had a motorbike, no way would my parents have allowed me to ride it to school. My mother wouldn't even let me buy one at age sixteen because she was worried about me. In the slums of Liverpool, we were equally as poor as the country people here.

They committed parole violations. No more need be said.

Doesn't affect me because I have no desire to use any facility that has double pricing. Now if they charged farang double for a bottle of scotch, I might start rocking the boat. Maybe I'm tempting fate by even mentioning this.

Not only commies, but hard-line commies.

That's an easy one - no freebies!!!

Who's Biden?

Lived in France for two years. I've never before come across such ugly women. Shattered all my expectations and was one of the reasons I moved here. As for your blocked nose, I've suffered with one all my life and tried every remedy under the sun inlcuding cauterisation. Nothing worked and I've just learned to live with it. Some days are good, others not so good.

Must be. If I had a thousand baht for every time I've seen that headline, I'd have quite a little stash. If it's working ok, don't try to fix it.

My daughter's in the London Met and I love her very much, but I'm not particularly enamoured with that illustrious body at the moment. I was shocked by the sight of them arresting people at random during the Whitehall protest. Even watched them beat up a young man and arrest an old lady just for standing peacefully protesting. Yet a certain group of people seem to get a free pass, despite physically attacking armed policemen and fighting rival gangs with machetes. I'm worried sick about my daughter's safety and although I don't condone the riots, I curse our PM for inflaming the situation with his politically partisan announcements.
