But some Thai women are trying their best to catch up...

 

Happens many thousand times a day unfortunately. Photo doesn't look particularly out of place, I guarantee if I took a trip into town now it wouldn't take long to see a similar situation.

I have lived / worked in Thailand over 14 years and here is my observation: Every society has their “bad apples”, but I feel the type of Buddhism practiced in Thailand is focused on going to the temple only and asking for “good merit”. Thousands of donated dollars in community Buddhist wats are spent on building projects instead of helping the poor or needy. What is the percentage of Thais that really learn the teachings of Buddhism? And shouldn’t Thai society start having open discussions of the lack of moral ethics in their society?  Every country is not “perfect” but I detect of Thais preferring to ignore these kind of issues. 

Cue the indignation from the rosey specs brigade.

Open and shut I'd say if it turns out to be true that they worked together in Malaysia.

I also would have taken a meeting held by the Election Commission as for what it is: nothing but another costume party. Maybe they were not aware of the fine print on the invitation- Dress Code: strictly Uniform, for higher ranks periodic costumes permitted.

Appropriate that the DPM turns up in "Froggy" green.

I first met Somchai Khunpleum (Khamnan Poh) back in 1989 when he became Mayor of Saen Suk (Bang Saen). It is not true that His family were first supported by Thaksin and PTP.  The truth is that the family were first involved with the Social Action Party (formed by some former Democrats) and led by Pramoj. Later he was involved with the Thai Nation Party under Chatichai Choonhavan which included the Godfather of Suphanburi, Banharn Silpa-archa. It was under the Banharn administration that Somchai, not Thaksin received  many of his construction contracts.  Not only did Thaksin not support Somchai Khunpleum, he was instrumental in having Somchai Khunpleum put into prison. The fact is that Banharn was the main supporter of the Khunpleum family not Thaksin.

Shit! Can I "unlike" the "like" I just gave to robblock? Thought it was strange, I normally think his posts are blx.

I've been trying for ten years to get a galvanised steel mop bucket with no success. A good squeeze on these plastic ones and they break. That's why every time the wife mops the floor it ends up swimming in water.

Maybe the farang have been bombarded by noise, not only from this workshop, but from those huge bass speakers, soi dogs etc. It could just have been the straw that broke the camel's back. Noise around here drives me almost demented at times and I live on the edge of a golf course.

Really? Where, in UK for instance, would you get three hitmen for 50000 baht total?

From quite liking dogs I've now gone to detesting them. Why did the good lord give them such a loud bark? It's totally out of proportion to their size. There are currently  twenty four dogs between five houses in my community. Myself and a neighbour don't have any. I sympathise with you.

Great series, now halfway through S4. Tell you what, that Kim could make an old man very happy.

"I've come to the long conclusion that national elections and their false parades should be of little interest to anybody, as nothing surprising is gonna develop - back to the same old bosses. "

I assume you're referring to the military, as they seem to have been in power a damned site longer than any civilian govt. Just let the people choose who they want to govern them, it's called democracy. If they vote for the same old people and the poll's been fair and above board, then so be it, it's what the people want. 

Can't blame you for wanting to quit France, the world's most boring country with the ugliest women. I too used to live there, mainly because  of the cheap housing and it was easy to get to see my kids in the UK. Once they were grown, I blazed a trail of dust to Pattaya. That was twelve years ago and I've never regretted it for an instant.

If I was a single guy of your age I'd go for Pattaya dark side or Ban Chang (the other side of Sattahip). Cheaper accommodation than central Pattaya and plenty of fantastic bars where the ladies still pretend that you're the best thing since bottled chips.

The most reliable poll (if conducted fairly) is the election. If PC-O is feeling confident then he should just get on with it. I somehow feel that we won't be seeing an election in Feb 2019.

Exactly the same as in every other country.  It's called bail and if it's available and the conditions can be met it not unreasonable for it to be granted even though some people here would never want to see a Thai person granted any concession due to them.

Your Thai-bashing phobia just kicked in again. Suradit will approve.

Sack the proof reader.

Yup, but nothing Thai about it, these people can be found in every country, but don't let an opportunity to slander Thai's slip past you.

You a mate of Suradit69? This is a Thailand forum and the thread is about Thais.

Got a load of noisy dogs around here that need eating by something.

I do have a sense of humor but I'm with the RTP for the 1st time in my life ! 

There are too many real cases of people going at it with guns, swords, machettes etc.. The culture of crazy violence here needs wiping out.. Have a punch up if you need to but deadly weapons need removing from the streets 

Get a grip man. Have you seen the Thai soaps. Only someone (Thai policeman and you) with a severe sense of humour failure would object or be influenced by this couple larking about.
