Personally at the age of 78 I can't think of anything worse than having a 9 month old kid.

I could not agree more. I told my Thai wife when I first met her when I was fifty years old that there would be no children and that we would not be looking after any grandchildren that might emanate from the two she already had.

Exactly.

Back in the day nearly all the farangs who ended up with thai birds knew the score. They'd marry for love, comfort and relocation but not to end up in the disaster of having kids to an alien culture and land. Taking care of her existing kids was ok and the done thing.

More recently it's this new wave of old-fool tourists who are easily led up the garden path. They knock a girl up, often having no idea of her background and sexual health, marry her and that is the start of the horror show. Even some of the freshest bar-girls I've seen with my friends (one of the BGs was a virgin!) ended up dumping him with the luuk keung out of the blue.

So from about the past ten to twelve years the rate of these 'old fools' and some young misguided ones too has really increased.

Farang can support the kids, but not in the next few decades when the pension honey pot runs dry.

As far as my cheese making business is..... I am making loads of money and it is expanding by the month to the point I will have a full on factory within 2 years...... and why?????..... Because the Thais have been ripping people off on the price of cheese from the word go.

I can undercut the Thais by 30% and am still making loads of money and it is getting bigger by the month Currently at 450,000 a month profit on cream cheese alone,,, If I go national supplying Makro, Big C and Tesco, we are talking 30 million a year.......... so dream on pal.

Haha...95% chance this is BS because anyone who does business in Thailand knows this is not AT ALL how things work there. If a foreigner is successful taking away business from locals that NEVER goes unnoticed or unanswered. Haha....better educate yourself better before trying to bs people.

Man....

Laugh as much as you like, but cream cheese is huge here at the moment with creanm cheese frosted cakes etc.... My customers are bakers.

No Thai can come close to my quality and price.

How to beat a Thai in Thailand..... beat them on quality and price.... they can't touch you.

EDIT: By the way... I have been going 2 years now and not a single person has started up against me. Says a lot really... If i was making pizzas, I would be copied within weeks... NO... i am making cheese. Most Thais wouldn't even know what cheese tastes like

I ill continue to rise and no Thai will have a clue how to stop me.

As much as I respect your European ballsyness be careful! The Thais are experts at undercutting and copying us mate.

Any areas known to sell this stuff? I can't get any out where I am right now (overseas) and need to hit the ground running in getting this stuff.

If you don't know that Palestinian children are taught to hate Jews and become "martyrs" - suicide bombers - you need to get an education.

You know the hate get's taught on both sides right? The Palestinians don't have the monopoly on it that's for sure. I've met Israeli's that are just as extreme and they are much older than that lad! LOL

They even have lifetime driving licenses? That's news to me. I've gotten my 1, then 5 year license....

You wont find anything around Chonburi and BKK. Simply impossible. THe area was part of the sea at that time. As for sites:

When was it in the sea?

I have yet to read a single, authentic, verifiable, shred of proof that Charles Manson killed anybody. Calling him a mass murderer is wrong.

If it was in a state elsewhere and it happened to non-hollywood types he probably would be released by now.

Yes more than not smoke it appears. In most countries prevalance of adult smoking is closely correlated with lower educational achievement. Here though it seems most long term expats are highly educated quite successful types, at least here in CM.

With a cigarette hanging out of their gob they don't look so smart to me, and they don't smell that great either.

By the same assumption then being clean-cut implies people who aren't streetwise, are easily beguiled and are unmanly.

You want a girl that fits in all the right places.

Consent is obvious and shouldn't even come into the equation.

It's better than no 'earth' right?

I'll give a little insight shall I? I was duped out of 14m in my first years here. No matter how bright one is, there's always a way.

I got married... bought 2 large houses (in her name of course), a new Audi, (in her name of course),

Fool you.

and this was AFTER she had had our BABY

MORE fool you!

... yes baby. Married with baby, together 2 years

What a mug.

I thought I had a great life. I was working in China, earning well as a consultant. I was flying back and forth every 8 weeks. Into year 3, I flew back to Thailand, went home........ and... somebody I didn't know answered my door. She had sold both houses, emptied our JOINT bank account, and done a runner with my kid.

You need to google upbreeding

All my hard work and savings..... yes, I too went into a depression, but I never for once thought of suicide. I decided to make a comeback and get off my ass and fight on.

I did, and eventually met a fine woman, highly educated, as I waited and chose very carefully. Married 7 years now.... nice new home and new car, wife's a lecturer at Uni.

It is easy to be duped; my ex had it planned for 3 whole goddarned years..... including baby... to entice me to depart with my savings.

However, suicide was not an option for me. It's a shame for some, who just can't face such a loss. Don't, please, take the proverbial out of this young man; it can happen to anybody, especially if well planned!

Well at least you've hopefully learned your lesson and can warn others of your folly.

Also, I've found that most uni-graduates are even bigger clowns and fools than the less-educated, more streetwise school and college grads. The latter don't fall into the 3rd world paradigm delusion as much usually.

So can ThaiVisa/Walen school clarify minimum requirements to extend the permission to stay for those who are NOT attending a language school or course? For example, diving school, university, bhuddism/religious study, animal study, kite surfing, etc.

What about those with multiple entry non-ed visas?

I didn't even think they'd let you have an ED-Visa for diving / non-academic studies?!

Chartchai said face photos and fingerprint scans would be collected next year from people entering Thailand, making it easier to identify and track tourists.

Where do they get their thinking from?

Immigration already take photos of tourists entering LoS.

Fingerprint scans as well? It looks like Thailand is wanting to copy the USA (which already does the fingerprint BS)!

Try flying to Israel from Malaysia via BKK. Fun times.

I bet you were grilled over in Tel Aviv on that little deal...

They need to reinstate the market stalls on Sukhumvit.

They haven't gotten rid of the stalls....

Thailand is going to very much be a more low quality Tourist destination .

All the Data supports that.

Indian people - Chinese - perhaps eastern Euro folks

Iranians - and the Africans who we are told don't have any viruses

Sounds like LoS is going back to its roots then. In some ways compared to the clampdowns in the Taksin days I prefer it as it is now. More modernized, yet still having the wild and free factor (albeit less than it was 14 years ago).

BS the UK takes over 200k people a year...

That doesn't make it right and if you ask nearly everyone with a brain they'll tell you they don't want the immigration BS going on too.

There should be a warning sign put up in arrivals at the airport warning of the dangers

of bar girls..... Seems to be an endless stream of sad stories like this one.... :-(

On a side note, with lots of Brits dying here, I wonder at what point their government

will step in.

I'm sure most know the dangers but go ahead anyway, so a warning wouldn't make any difference.

With respect, I don't think they do know the dangers or there'd be a lot less mugs being taken to the cleaners.

They get fed the PC line about Asians etc being angels compared to Europeans and so when they arrive overseas they have rose-tinted glasses practically glued over their retinas!

I've seen them swanning about bragging about it, convinced they are 'right-on', 'hip' and 'with-it' as honorary Thais who are reinventing themselves etc etc.

This one kid was in total denial that his house was not his own when he described basically paying a builder to develop some land (he didn't own) and the builders family were basically living there waiting for him to go home!

As a bit of an extra on this, from what my wife read in the Thai news sources, apparently his gf tricked him into spending 10M THB to buy the elephant sanctuary, then got him to work there.

However, they didn't actually buy it, and they just let him work there because they allow volunteers to work at the sanctuary. He apparently dding realize this, so worked there thinking it was his own business. Although by the time he found out the truth, his gf had done a runner.

This is yet another reason that Britons who come to Thailand must be warned about the multitude of scams that are waiting for them.

They get that heat, juicy women and power from the financial clout and think they have the midas touch with x, y and z. There's a midas touch alright, but it ain't the farang who have it when it comes to scams that's for sure!

The famous Swedish scammer is back in Khaosan road. There was a long thread about him about two months ago. And they collected money here at TV for airplane tickets and other stuff. Now he is begging for money again.

Good lord are there that many gullible fools on TV nowadays?!

His approval rating has fallen to a horrendous 40 per cent.

That is what happens when you elect someone on a racist basis.

Yes he was.....

The only reason he was elected was not because he was best for the job or a brilliant leader, it was because he was black, and the public thought it about time they had a black president.

After the elections, all you heard all over the media was the fact the the USA had its first black president.

Prior to Obama's running for presidency, hardly any black people came out to vote. But once a black man run, then they all come out of the woodwork, making the election the most racially motivated event in the history of the USA.

No, I am not racist for saying this... It is just fact, that most people would not dare to admit to, for fear of being called 'racist', but they know I am right.

People need to learn to vote for whom they believe is best for the nation, not the colour of their skin.

Strictly speaking he isn't black but mullatto - half african-america and half-european american. That's not stopped most of the black population voting for him though

Ok, as I mentioned earlier I just made some communications with my contact on the island of Koh Tao.

1. Basically in his words the police DID NOT seal the island off following the murder! Not the following morning that it took place anyway. Approx. 800 people or so left the island on ferry's possibly more if you count the mid-day and after noon ferries. <So if the killer (s) were among them then it's game over for catching them.>

2. He was being DEFENSIVE of the other business owners / island families etc being involved saying it was likely some psycho did it and probably fled the following day on the morning ferries.

3. The Boycott Koh Tao campaign has resulted in a FIFTY % drop in business revenue ACROSS THE ISLAND. At my own contacts location they are reporting almost nil income!

4. The Boycott campaign is being speaheaded by a rival Phuket tour operator.

5. They are hoping this whole thing won't affect the Xmas season (when trade normally booms on KT). <I do not think it will be booming personally.>

They may actually be Thai citizens.

Or more likely they are on a work visa (given out for business sales, specific to the Indian nationality of selling cheap suits no-one buys).

If they don't get out of your face a bold 4 letter word followed by 'off' usually does the trick. Follow up with an angry glare for added effects and off they go.
