Irish footballer fights for his life after bike crash in Thailand
rattlesnake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I doubt a typical Thai would blame the UK government for it, it's not in their mentality. -

I'm always baffled by the amount of Westerners who drive motorbikes with no helmet here. It's a good indicator that they probably have no formal training from their home countries. -

It's more of a mountain biking accessory, but if I was cycling in Thailand I would definitely wear one. -

It's a good idea to wear a full-face on a bicycle, almost half of impacts are around the chin and face area. -

10% of Thais Engage in Heavy Drinking, Report Finds
rattlesnake replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is nothing short of fascinating, the amount of posters here who think Thais are inferior yet are long-time Thailand residents. -

No, but given you have just dropped the below gem, I will not attempt to reason with you. -

Indeed, hence my earlier insistance on parenting being the most important, before the "education" system. As long as there is the will to do well, it generally works out, and it seems you and your ex want to do well so I would tend to think you will be okay (though it will probably be a bumpy ride, as raising a child – especially from two different cultures – always is). -

He can and should do what he feels is right, which neither you or I know. -

Yes, at the end of the day it's each to their own and circumstances vary. I know that if I had a daughter I would prefer her to be raised in Thailand rather than the UK (which I know very well). -

Relax, man. Have you not learnt to do that, in all your time in this inferior country? -

The education system isn't that bad in Thailand, lots of posters here have a sense of superiority about their home countries being so much better, but this does not align with my observations. European youths are often vulgar and disrespectful (especially in the UK, IMO) so whatever those superior edication systems are teaching them, they are not teaching them to behave themselves (and most of them have sh*t jobs). At least Thais have some respect for their elders, provided they had good parents. Because that is what it comes down to: the parents. People rely on the education system too much. -

Now now, Jing, you believe in due process and the rule of law, remember. Looking forward to hearing the sound of silence. -

Yeah, very, very bad week for the <removed> sufferers. -
Good for them. Long days doing menial jobs to make ends meet, yes, such is the reality for most mia farangs living in farangland (in my experience, and I know many). Let's hope this story helps shed light and raise awareness on this reality (living in a Western country is harder than living in Thailand), rather than encourage Thai women to start gambling in the hope of getting rich.

Second that. Try kefir (start with small quantities), it's very beneficial for the gut, microbiome and immune system. -

A catastrophic birth rate decline has been observable worldwide over the past three years. Connect the dots. -
Pattaya... Any Chanthaburi Visa Agent?
rattlesnake replied to Olmate's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Immigration offices will typically want a rental agreement or house registration to issue the certificate, in my experience they don't care where your visa was obtained.
