Oberkommando

Also common in the UK, use the bogoff advert to lure you in and when you get there "sorry all gone"

Not common at all.

Trading Standards and consumer protection groups such as Watchdog quickly work to see these schemes eradicated.

IIRC, Thaksin himself worked in KFC and Pojaman worked in Burger King when they were in the US.

Nothing wrong with teaching your kids the value of hard work.

Is it jealousy I detect here?

Farang, kaek, jaek... any other racial epithets in Thai? I presume there's many.

Never heard so much tosh here on Tv for a long time. Thailand with a worse murder rate than the USA you are obviously reading too many comics. A link to this statistic would be nice ? Get a real life and I would bet my small Thai missus could kick your sad sorry ass all over Thailand ha ha ha

PS Steen Segal is just a coke snorting fat basT$%^d now and couldn't kick his own ass never mind anybody elses. Ha ha ha

Thailand is one of the World's most dangerous places according to the daily Telegraph.

Then this from the Independent...

With so many Britons murdered in Thailand, why does our Government not warn of the dangers faced there?

At least 17 Britons have been murdered in Thailand since 2003 – including Toby Charnaud, brutally slain by his Thai wife. Now, his family want to know why our Government is so reluctant to warn that the 'Land of Smiles' is one of the most dangerous places on earth for its British residents.

I was at Karon beach on Monday - the g/f chasing crabs for "som tam boo"

I caught crabs in Phuket.

One last thing - it's scary how many post-primate people on here actually think this guy deserves what he got on the grounds that he was 'rude' to an immigration officer.

Some foreigners think their hosts can do no wrong.

France is the number one tourist destination in the world by numbers, Thailand follows I believe or is up there in the top five by volume (or was!)...

Thailand is nowhere near top 5.

You are right, Oberkommando, my apologies. I have obviously been reading too much TAT PR. A new one out today by the way

39th out of 133 countries isn't bad considering what Thailand offers visitors and the infrastructure.

I would imagine its continued rise in the rankings will come to a halt this year though with the global economic outlook, the strong Thai Baht and the political instability set to continue.
