Is it really that bad a choice given the alternatives? Sure at first it can be horrendous but many see it as the better option. Being a farm girl working in rice fields is not exactly a pleasant job either.

What makes you suspect that? I have not heard anything to suggest that.

You can go private in the UK as well. The NHS does not have a monopoly.

This is the kind of man I want as prime minister in the UK. All this woke crap is out of control. We need people who say what needs saying without worrying about hurting people's feelings. A trump with brains and looking out for the majority instead of every winger that thinks their rights overrule everyone else's. Smokers are some of the most ignorant and selfish people around. This is how they should be treated until they start to respect those around them. Last night I was talking to my wife about a women who has to put up with her husband smoking 3 packets a day in the house. Utterly disgusting but all he says is, there's the door if you don't like it.

Why come early if flights are delayed? Thais seem to love making you wait around for no good reason.

Problem with that is women have falsely accused men and proving or disproving consent is very hard. Without a trial, who judges whether or not the evidence is beyond doubt especially in a place like Thailand? It is better that a guilty person goes free than an innocent person is convicted. As much as I want to agree with you I don't think it is the best solution.

Most only stay 2 or 3 weeks but some of us do stay 5 or more weeks. Not having to do an extension this year will be a bonus as I often limit our holiday to under a month to avoid the hassle. I had already booked 5 weeks so hope 60 days is in place this week. Saving £50 and a 50 mile trip to immigration will be a good bonus.

If that was my daughter it would be dead as soon as I could get near it. How any father could let it live is beyond me. How anyone could possibly want to keep a dog that has done that is beyond me.

How does this spy on China? Here is good news about breaking up a criminal gang yet you think it is part of a conspiracy. You need to stop watching stupid YouTube videos and start watching real news channels. You are the sort of person who is fooled by the likes of trump because you can't think for yourself.

Beging is a crime. This is why I don't give to any beggars meaning he is harming people in genuine need who resort to Begging. Put the <deleted> in prison and suffer cold turkey. This should be repeated every 6 months for 2 years or until drug free.

A lot of jet ski opors are going to have problems getting their tuff off the beach if they can't take their pickups on the beach.

"Both Blame Cannabis for Their Actions" - being <deleted> is more likely the truth. The plod should have cut off an ear and made one eat it and maybe they would get a proper confession.

Eventually, maybe, not now.

The reason is to encourage others to do better. If you find a cop who is better even if only very slightly, they should be held up as a shining beacon for others to follow. If you lump them altogether, there is no desire or advantage in being better. Unfortunately most Thais can't understand this which is why they are so far behind.

Lady Gaga found out why Thailand is not a good place to perform with the flag incident. Why risk that kind of bad publicity over a minor discretion?

I have not seen anyone blame her for what happened but a few have commented on her poor decisions. The guide is totally to blame but she could have done things to help prevent him having the opportunity to carry out this attack. If I walked around downtown LA at night wearing gold chains, a Rolex and waving a wad of dollar notes while obviously drunk I would be increasing my chances of being mugged many times than if I was alert and blended in while walking there during the day. If I did get mugged it is entirely the mugger who is to blame but I made myself much more likely to be his victim. An example - I saw an episode of Travel sick where the guy was given fake clothes and video camera (it was a few years ago) then told to walk around Lima in Peru (I think it was) while undercover police watched. Within minutes he was mugged and stripped clean. The police, who knew this would happen, then rescued him unharmed. Obviously the muggers are to blame but he made decisions that made it inevitable to happen.

Should HAVE.... Should've...

We never welcomed these economic migrants, we had no choice. France does all it can to enable them to get here. My town is full of them and they need sending to Rwanda.

You watch too much RT. The more intelligent/wealthy Russians are getting out while they can. Putin is going to have to enlist hundreds of thousands as canon fodder over the next few months. The sanctions are really starting to hurt the economy which will suffer for decades to come. Generally, the useful ones will settle in western countries, the decent ones left will go to ex soviet countries and the dregs will end up in Thailand.

If we were proven to be causing far more speed related crashes than other nationalities, I would have no problem with that. If a certain group of people are causing excess problems, why shouldn't they be exposed and targeted? I am against targing people for no valid reason. In your example, one of the best ways to get English to stop speeding is to have English people recognise the problem and how it affects them. This would start them self policing by calling out those among us who were the problem. Peer pressure is very powerful. To bring your question back to you, if English drivers were caused far more crashes than other groups with all the extra expenses, injuries and other problems, would you want to target us in some way?

Not unfortunate at all. This is one thing I like about Thailand. If a certain race causes problems they call them out. Here in the Uk we have to pussy foot around the question of race. This woke crap is fueling resentment and will only get worse. The number of economic migrants suddenly coming here causing problems is out of hand. If Arabs are a problem, target them. What is wrong with that?

I think someone did manage to recently.

Why not inform us of his nationality? If it is not stated and sometimes, if it is stated, people will soon speculate someone's nationality. If a certn nationality gets mentioned it helps us understand those people better. I'm British and we get a lot of stick due to our antics. I don't have a problem with that at all, so why do others worry?

My thoughts exactly. Why make more enemies before you are stronger than them?
