    The classes are paid for upfront. If I cancel them, I have to pay the student back and the online school keeps the fee anyway. If I were to cancel the lessons that I have for the seminar, it would cost me 3,250 baht!

     

    That's why I ask for the notice period. The guy coming to do the seminar was booked months ago, but they felt they didn't need to tell me until 11 days before. I feel that its a power trip thing. Knowledge is power and all that.

     

    It seems unreasonable not to accept that I may have made plans myself.

     

    When the Mrs. was attending Uni. it was nearly impossible for us to schedule holidays in advance because of the unknown school schedule.

     

    I genuinely feel your grief and agree there's hardly justification for such failure to do advance planning and notification.

    Oh no, Steven. I shall continue to scrutinise and mock your ideas when they're bad. You're welcome to do the same back to me. It's called being an adult. People should always be free to talk and ask questions. Ideas should always be out in the open ready to be exposed if they're bad. After all, sunlight is the best disinfectant. 

     

    Are you sure such a scrutinizing approach is welcomed in Thailand?   ????

    for me, he did not steal ...that dumb b. dropped her money, careless...

     

    if brit did not pick it up, someone else would have

     

    give it to the cashier and it is their lucky day...

     

    I wonder how come this footage is giving out to the public without court or police order

     

    Did it ever occur to you that the Brit guy could have easily brought the dropped money to the attention of the lady who dropped it?

     

    Wouldn't that be the right thing to do?

     

    I sure hope I never lose anything in your presence.

    Even if your post wasn't accurate, it deserves a "like".

     

    I'd never heard of Dame Edna before so I looked  up the name.     Now I know why I'd never heard of it.

    The second edition of SILMO Bangkok will be held on 19-21 June 2019, at IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center.

     

    This sounds like a very worthwhile event.     I just got back from a several day visit to Bangkok but this sounds tempting to me.   Maybe a return visit is in order.

    Multi meter best for sure but every toolbox should at least have one of the pen shaped electrical field testers.  Just wave it near wires or an electrical device and it will buzz if there is a live wire.  Less than B200 at all hardware and home improvement stores or online at Lazada:

    "tapping" an unknown woman on the shoulder, or any other part of her body, would probably end up in an arrest and big fines.

     

    Considering the circumstances, that contetion's quite a stretch.

    If you saw someone drop money in a situation like that and didn't mention it to them and rather surreptitiously picked it up and kept it for yourself, that in my mind is the same as stealing it. Shameful, that man!

    Not sure about Thailand but in the UK there is an offence of 'Theft by Finding'....this fits perfectly.

     

     

    OK.      Ship him to the UK.
