Please help to disseminate this to all foreign media and share this all all your facebook accounts for your friends and relations  and colleagues overseas to see. Helps to show what thailand and its people are all about these days. If a normal for thais to screw their fellow thais, we foreigners have no hope!

I don't think this woman's actions can be used to describe the rest of the Thai people.

Im from quebec, put me in front of 12 "scary" thais or a millionaire gun totting thai mercedes driver, im not worried but even the most feeble hell's angel scares the bejezus out of me.

Dunno how real they were but I used to put on Special live music nights in my old bar as a warm up for Burapa Bike Week and I remember one year there were Bandido's, Mad Dogs etc and also a few Foreign Hells Angels, I remember my Thai Manager turning to me with a worried look on his face lol. 

Thankfully we never had a problem, I've seen a few really scary looking ones though.

It's not allowed on this forum mate. I could explain it but in fact, if you don't know what I'm talking about you are most likely in the group who in fact finds himself wanting to track her down, console her, and in his mind only, seduce her with his compassion for her loss as she.....you figure it out and it involves a towel and gravity. 

 

I was informed last night, by a very good source(Thai person), the the deceased life insurance would become void and not be paid, if a Thai company, due to the circumstances of his passing. Suicide and other what are deemed self inflicted death results in no payment to the beneficiary. If short, if the insurance company thinks he caused his own death, they won't pay. A good argument could be made for that in this case if we believe all that's been said. Hence, the wife demanding justice to bring out the real facts vs. speculation. If it was a random act of violence of course benefits paid. How can we call this a random act of violence? 

Agreed of course it wouldn't be paid.

Old age? At 70? They need to research longevity a little more.

Well I lost both parents in the last 18 months. one at 71 and one at 74 and it wasn't through any fault of their own.

That's a case for Stacey Dooley! Now wonder the Brits got their own TV show about Thailand..  

 

"So did you want to try your friends prostitute?"

"Do you think it's ok to pay women for sex, they are basically children at 20 years old"

"How do you feel about that?" 

"Do your parents know what you're doing?"

 

 

Stacy Dooley, god please no.

Not a word about why the new old mayor has been replaced.

 

So this new guy will solve all the traffic, electricity and water problems?

I'll win the Euromillions first.

Idiots.

People like me, I didn't know we had met. What type of people is it that you want to reserve pattaya for. It's obviously not for family members, those that believe in law and order and the right for people to feel safe, you know people like me.

I lived there with my family, had a clean business and followed the rules, there are lots more like me.

Its not all bad there.

:)

Because it's a great place to live and these sensational headlines do not reflect realality. But if they keep people like you away - good. 

One suspects that those who live there do not frequent the known trouble spots and in that regard it's no different from Bangkok. For tourists, its mystifying: I went for 3 days in 1983, never been back. Perhaps it's better these days.
Speedy recovery, Finnish man.

 
One of the things my wife asked me when we met back in the US, was "have you ever been to Pattaya?", my answer was "What is Pattaya?". She told me if I had ever been there or visited there, she would have never dated me. I think that says all i need to know about Pattaya, the constant news articles of late-night bar fights, attacks on foreigners, robberies, prostitution, drugs, and less than savory characters that seem to frequent there, leaves me not really seeing the appeal. I am assuming this is the seedy side of Thailand, which I have no interest in seeing, so I doubt I will ever visit.

15 Years ago I went out on patrol with some local social workers who were keeping an eye on the welfare of underaged folk. These ust have been the  only social workers in the world carrying loaded guns!

I lived in Pattaya for fifteen years, how did I survive? Was very lucky according to some posters here! never had any problems, mind I wasnt driving around at 2am on a motorcycle drunk with no shirt on! non smoker as well :)

 
Maybe you never heard of Glasshouse, Silver Lining and other places? Superb seafood and right at the beach.
We drive all the way from Bangkok to Pattaya to have dinner at Silver Lining in Wong Amat. 
Pattaya is what you make of it. I love and hate the place for many reasons and avoid Walking Street at all costs. 
Happily married and done with the bar scene. 
Something special about the place that's hard to describe.. love it or hate it, but don't hate the people who live there. Not everyone is a raging alcohol, sex addicted loser. They are just more obvious and tolerated down there than in Bangkok. That's all. 

Chiangmai isnt exactly Nakon nowhere but yes it is far safer than Pattaya and it isnt exactly boring..  we can even walk the streets without fear or being hassled by ladyboys and prostitutes.

Troll post and replies trashed

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out who are the crooks in Pattaya and who are legit business people.
 

Nope, never said it did.
But I reckon she had a tiny idea that her husband was not the fine upstanding member of the Pattaya community that he made out to be.
That's my ten penny worth.

Does that make her a bad person?

Crikey if you think a hiso Thai girl knocks around with some tattoo'd bellend and mouthy idiots in Pattaya you have low expectations of what it takes to become high society.

Have to agree there, the amount of times I sat in my old bar or on Walking St bars watching the Louis Vuitton brigade strutting around.

I'm not impressed.

Not ridiculing your post at all but that handbag in the picture is a fake. 

 

Louis Vuitton wouldn't have their emblem and logo with rivets for the handles through it. Nor would it be sewn through on the seams or corners.

How could you possibly know that?
