I have some sympathy for the poor guy. That one is a killer. I too suffer from COPD and there is not a lot that the docs here can do. Even if he has insurance, eventually, the insurance companies stop paying out. Good luck sir.

As a teacher, my 'farang' wife had no trouble in getting a loan for her new car. No idea about a mortgage though. We paid cash to have the house built.

Of course casinos are coming. This is the most corrupt government ever in Thailand. They will not miss a chance like this.

Yes - just before Six Senses.

Lovely photos thank you. This is the view at sunset that I have to put up with.

A lot of strange statements here. My sister was 12 the first time that she ran away from home to find her father. No deep-rooted conspiracy theory - she just missed her dad. She would run away once a year and I just kept finding her and bringing her home to mum. When she was 16 years old, I stopped bringing her back. She found her dad and he told her to brugger off. She stopped 'running away'.

Same here but lived here 22 years. Never stuck in traffic - I ride a bike. I would never do that in Bangkok!

Maybe those smokers that are in denial (all of them?) should search 'mental health issues from smoking cannabis' Many medical and government bodies are in agreement that there is a connection - especially in younger people. More studies are under way. Previous studies say that there is a connection There are also studies re the long term affects on the lungs. These have never been looked into before because those that smoke it think that it is safe. Sucking anything into your lungs is not safe! Tobacco is not the only killer.

The fact that the military in Burma are involved in the drug trade at the highest level has been known for years. The drug dealers can only operate if they pay the military. The other side of this one is that the money is laundered through Singapore as 'development' projects and the like. And the Singapore government know where the money comes from! Death penalty for the little guys and visas for the big ones.

Shame on Thailand for sucking up to another illegal junta. I understand that the young lady has sought asylum in Thailand with the UNHCR. Stop a hero but cannot find Boss. Double shame.

Good idea. Ban ALL advertising until the guidelines are published.

I never criticise or laugh at Thai spelling in English. Whatever is written is a million times better than anything that I could write in Thai.

It is very different on the islands. No cab on Samui uses the meter. In my experience, it is the same when I have been on Phuket and KPN. To be fare though, they are very courteous when they take 800 baht for the 15 minute trip from the airport here on Samui.

Well, that should frighten the cab drivers. (Not!)

My thought exactly.

I have often used Agoda and have had no problems.
