“Human trafficking and slavery are against the law in Thailand. Perpetrators will be severely punished,” it says, followed by a hotline number for people to report cases.

So why not start with the guys at the top? The ones who not only permit this to happen, but more than likely profit from it? Arrest them all. Lock them up!

Ah the Brit bashes are always outnumbered by the Thai basters. 

 

For the record this bastard deserves the worst Thailand can throw at him.. and so does anyone else who commits murder. No need to be a Brit brasher for that.. just someone who hates murderers. 

And that is five years, or considerably less, if the guy has alot of cash. If there is one thing Thailand cannot be depended upon for, it is the issuing of a reasonable sentence, that fits the crime. The only people who seem to be sentenced for a long time here, are people with little cash, or members of a former political party.

I hope this loser gets a long sentence. He deserves that. Beating a woman to death? Who did he think he was, Genghis Khan? Alexander the Great? Vladimir Putin?

Maybe they just look like this because they don't understand you at first, because you say it wrong and what you say and what you expect as reaction doesn't match.

Bag is "toong" and not "toom". And you are telling them "not in a bag". But you expect them to put it in your bag.

So if you said what you actually wanted, for example "mai sai toong plastic, kae sai toong nee" while you hand them your bag, they might understand you.

Very kind of you to offer me a free lesson in Thai! Will try it out.

In general, most Thai people have a real problem admitting their faults, or taking responsibility for the problems they have created. So, of course she will deflect. You simply show her the door. Plain and simple. No big issue. Just, you are out of here, pack up your crap and go. Bye bye. I am not interested in hearing your story. Bye.

Man up, and do as Bond would do.

Wanted to send your post, which is very good and constructive (with that you go in the 5 % outlier statistical category  :-) ), to the missus, but thought again ... haha 

Worth a try. So many Thais think that plastic is this magical thing. They just have no idea how destructive it is.

Gives new meaning to the term "ugly american", and I say that as a Yank. Wow. What a buffoon. Never attack a Thai. For any reason. It is dumb and dumber. Hope this creep gets punished, and apologizes to this guy, who was only doing his job.

Talk about the polar opposite of "water off a ducks back". He could use some therapy, meditation, or medication. 

Comey has more credibility than Tiny Don could ever hope for. Who do the American people believe? Not Don. There is alot of truth in what Comey is saying about the conman, and that kind of truth hurts. Trump is going down in flames. He is hanging on by a thread.

First, if the Cohen raid took special counsel Robert Mueller into a new area of investigation, he would have had to get the permission of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the probe. Then to get this kind of warrant, according to Justice Department rules, Mueller needed to get the permission of the U.S. Attorney — in this case, Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York, who was appointed by Trump — and had to consult with the Criminal Division of DOJ, giving them detailed information on exactly what he was seeking and why. Then a judge would have to be persuaded to issue the warrant. (ABC reported this morning that Berman has recused himself from the investigation, which means that others in his office are handling it.)

Democracy is messy, but it is the best we have. If you don't like it, you can always move to North Korea...........or Thailand!

Democracy can be messy. But, not as messy as Little Don. He is the very definition of a mess. A mess of his own creation. He always likes to forget that he is the one who drew first blood, and declared war on the media. Now that they are all over his sorry butt, he complaints and bitches like a little 13 year old, on a daily basis. He is a weak and pathetic man. Fortunately, he will be a lame duck within 7 months, and this will be his one and only term, if he is allowed to finish out the term. By Don. Very few of us are going to miss you, but you will be talked about for decades, as the extreme failure, and circus clown that you are. Also Don, say goodbye to Melania. No doubt she already has one foot out the door. Divorce #4. Bankruptcy #5. WWIII? Keep going. Impressive record.

When I was growing up, we took drivers education classes. They showed us these horrendous films, of semi trucks crashing into cars, and literally obliterating them, and everything inside. Also, they showed very graphic images of head on collisions. Even as a young kid, it left a lasting impression, and I realized driving was no joking matter. Especially when you have your friends, or loved ones in the car with you. I am constantly astonished at the kinds of chances people take here, with their entire family in the car with them. Why? What is the logic? What is the reason? Why take those risks? Often, when someone cuts onto the highway in front of me, as I am doing 100kpm or more on the highway, I look in my rearview mirror, and there is nobody behind me for quite some distance. Which means, had they paused, and waited 2 or 3 seconds, there would have been zero risk to them, their family, or me and my family. What can one even say? All of this matters even more when driving a motorbike, where there is no protection. 

The only way to survive here on the road, is to be patient, have eyes in the back of your head, drive with caution, and always, and I mean always watch out of the other guy. Chances are, he does not have much driving skill, nor patience, nor reason, nor common sense. You cannot be too careful on the road here. Especially considering that the toy police offer no traffic safety, nor enforcement of the law. 

Getting on a scooter, or a motorcycle anywhere in Thailand, much less Phuket, Phangan, Dark Tao, or Samui without a very good helmet, is like playing Russian Roulette with three or four bullets in the chamber. It is absolutely asking for problems. The degree of recklessness here is astounding. And many foreigners come here thinking "how much trouble could I get in on a little scooter, on a tropical island"? Well, the answer is alot. The amount of foreigners who are killed on the Southern islands is staggering. Most are not reported in the media. I had a friend who worked for Samui rescue for many years, and said the numbers were about 30-60 a month, on Samui, Phangan and Koh Tao. The official number is about 3 a month. Rider beware. Use as good a helmet as you can afford, and do not use these eggshells pieces of crap. They crack at the first impact, and what lies underneath them? Your skull, which is very delicate. 
 
Just ask yourself- do I have enough problems already, without a broken skull, or smashed head, or face injury, or lost eye? I have two friends who have been in motorbike accidents on Samui within the last two years. One still cannot walk, or talk or function on her own, from a motorbike accident, where she hit her head on the pavement going only 20 kph. The other one has lost alot of his mental capacity after hitting his head. He insisted for years he would never wear a helmet. Now, he seems 15 years older. 

This feels a bit like a millennial parent threatening to "get tough with my kids". Not gonna happen. They do not have it within them. The authorities here are so weak, so anemic, so incompetent, so indifferent, so apathetic, so lacking in talent, wisdom, intelligence, or the kind of muscle that it would take to make the country safer. And the weakest link is the toy police. They just do not care one iota, unless it involves a cash payout. Always remember one thing. The police here do not engage in law enforcement. They are revenue collection agents.

They probably have to change little Xi's diaper several times a day because he is wetting himself while big Trump is showing him who is in charge of the world economy.

A banking crisis in China will show how much rot there is under the carpet. Just watch "The China Hustle"

 

 

Big Trump. The only thing big about this man is his ego, which masks an incredible degree of self loathing and lack of confidence and ability. The man is a mediocre businessman and a horrific leader. He cannot even control his legal team, nor the leaks from his own cabinet. 

I guess you have never been to Alabama. Or Arkansas. Most of the Thai homes I visit are super clean. And tidy. And the floors are mopped five times as often as in the US. Depends on how random a sample you are referring to. Certainly there are some who have no pride. But, most seem to. If you want to see dirty homes, travel to India. It is also a class thing, one might assume.

This rarely ever happens. Since 90% still have their package, how on earth do you inadvertently bareback an LB, without noticing the package and the fact that they are missing a vagina? How does that happen? It does not happen. It is a situation  where there is full knowledge, and full complicity on the part of the trick. He wants the "bicycleta" experience. And most want the "free pass" that is associated with the experience. There is nothing wrong with this, if that is what a guy wants. What is wrong with the situation is the level of denial involved, in my opinion. It is a very "Greco, Roman" type thing to do. Just admit it.

I'm talking about post ops. Give us some back up for your 90% figure

Though this particular study applies to the US, a similar number applies to Thailand. I have spoken to a few ladyboys, and to many women who are friendly with ladyboys. The fact is, once the genitals are removed, there is no possibility of ever experiencing an orgasm again. Therefore, 90% choose not to have the genitals altered.

Among transgender women, 92 percent of the procedures were breast or chest operations, and 7 percent were facial.

Only 15 operations, or 0.9 percent, were on the genitals.

Among transgender men, there were zero genital operations reported.

Of all procedures on transgender men, 95 percent involved the breast or chest and 5 percent on the face.

I don't know what the percentage is but there are a lot of post op LBs in Pattaya and like i say many guys don't realise with the very plausible ones. Some are very difficult to tell, point being its greater risk if someone inadvertently barebacks an LB

That is all correct. Very difficult to transmit vaginally from a woman to a man.

Many guys have sex with LBs daily, often the guy doesn't even realise, got to be greater risk there. Bareback is not risk free as people like to say

Not risk free at all. But very low risk as long as she is really a woman, and it is vaginal only. With a lady boy, it might be a whole different story. And the line about many guys do not even realize? Silliness. Most realize. And in my opinion it is what I call a "free pass". The ability to have a gay or bi-sexual experience, without the shame and stigma. 90% of all ladyboys still have their package. Am I supposed to believe that package gets completely ignored during the entire experience. Come on now. Lets get real.

I believe Tiny Don is risking far more, than the Chinese. They are far less dependent on the US, than they used to be. And they are in a position of strength, with trillions in reserves. The US on the other hand has 21 trillion in debt (not counting the Iraq and Afghanistan related debt, which has always been off the books, after Cheney got congress to sign that ridiculous declaration, which probably adds another 10 trillion to the debt. So, we may be looking at 31 trillion. Is that sustainable? 

Thousands of American companies manufacture in China. Their products will now be subject to tariffs. Both the leader of the American Retail association, and a GOP senator from Nebraska have stated that Tiny Don is playing with fire, and may be completely out of his element.

Let us never forget. This man is a very mediocre businessman. He bankrupted five companies. He amassed most of his wealth by stealing it from investors and small businessmen. Anyone can make a fortune by stealing. Not much of an accomplishment. This guy is NOT a good negotiator. He is not a diplomat. He is a charlatan, circus huckster reality TV show host. Welcome to the Tiny Don show. 

This man appears to be becoming increasingly unhinged, by the day. I think the stress of the job is getting to him, and he does not appear to be able to handle all of the disapproval. He is used to having people kiss his butt wherever he goes. Now, he is getting alot of pushback, and it appears to be making him downright nuts. If he was not insane to begin with, he is showing real signs of it now.

My prediction is that he is going to crash and burn. Within 12 months. Either resignation under disgrace, or imprisonment. Both would be a beautiful thing for the planet, and the nation. 

This has got to be the most chaotic, least organized, and most incompetent leader, and administration in recent history. Every day brings more chaos. Little Don cannot help but shoot himself in the foot daily. The little bit of talent that the administration had, is leaving in droves. They are fleeing the most radioactive man in America.

Tiny DT. The art of moving America backwards, and lowering the quality of life for the average American. 

The art of I cannot make a deal to save my life. 

The art of losing talent in droves, and replacing them with sycophantic fools, devoid of talent or experience. Like The appointment of Lynne Patton, a wedding planner and longtime Trump family associate, to head the Housing and Urban Development's office for New York and New Jersey, and the talk show host that he just appointed as a chief economic advisor, because he talk smooth and looks good on TV. Good one Don. Now he appoints John Bolton? This man is not qualified to lead the boy scout chapter of Indianapolis. Ge should be kept as far away from foreign policy decisions as possible, with his hateful and toxic views. I give him 90 days, before he is dismissed. 

The art of not being able to fill vacancies, and leading a nation, without the help of key appointees. The Trump administration will usher in the second quarter of its presidential term with hundreds of vacancies still left to fill in departments throughout the administration. According to the Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service, only 241 key positions requiring Senate confirmation — out of 633 — have been confirmed as of Jan. 18, with 244 positions still without a nominee. The 633 key positions are a small portion of over 1,200 total positions requiring Senate confirmation, the Post noted. Trump’s sluggish staffing stands in stark contrast to his predecessors. According to the Post, Trump had 301 total confirmed nominees by Jan. 18, as compared with 452 confirmations by former President Barack Obama, 493 by George W. Bush and 471 by Bill Clinton at the same point in their terms.
