Yes, the wild west. Next you will be getting someone abducting, murdering and dismembering their stepsister, or pushing a policewoman on to a railway track or even stabbing an innocent pedal cyclist to death.Just three of the stories I heave read from the UK in the last couple of days.Lets just hope it doesn't get that bad here.

There are currently 6 people in jail with regard the step sister killing. How many of those people would be in jail if that had happened in Thailand ?

I would say none.

Here even if you are stopped at a police check point and resemble a murderer you are allowed to go on your way.

Do not forget it was a cop who the man was accused of killing, and you expect the police to arrest him ?

Wring him dry before you top him lads.

Well lets see what happens cos money talks over there.

If the USA tracked him to Somalia you can believe they were the ones initiating his arrest, this worm will be going no where but a USA slammer. You can knock the USA all you like but remember we never forget.

Politically correct horse shit. Europe is a joke.

The driver should have just ran the punks over. Save everyone a lot of trouble.

Apologies for unenlightened comment. But was harassed by a small gang of these thugs while walking my dog only two nights ago. Zipping by not once, not twice but thrice shouting "<deleted> you,"giggling and then taking off. After the second drive by I decided to head for my pickup and go home when they came by a third and final time and an m-150 bottle whizzed by my head. I related the incident to my Thai neighbour yesterday and he mentioned they are all sons of "influential" people in the local community (some of whom wear brown uniforms for a living). Best to stay away. I appreciated the info but didn't need the advice. I enjoy my quiet life with Mrs. Shock and our garden too much to get involved. When I was their age, I was too busy working part time to save up for my first car to get into too much trouble. An idle mind is the devil's workshop as they say. Luckily no fatalities!

No apologies needed. Racing bikers endanger everyone else and deserve to be hit and killed by the bus, the bus passengers do not deserve to be injured. By swerving the bus also endangers potential innocent people around it, such as other vehicles and pedestrians, not just its passengers.

If your vehicle is large enough to take out a racing motorbike coming at you in the wrong lane, without endangering those in the vehicle, then there is no reason to try to avoid a collision. In fact you would be doing everyone in the community a favour.

Why do you believe there were two racing bikers, anyone to corroborate this excuse.

Reads like you have been on the juice jock, Thais think there are four weeks in a year ?

Why did they not ring me to be the official photographer for the after wedding consumation? Been some good photos 5555

You are seriously a sck pervert.

where is the car registered, its a blue book, green is motorcycle

In Pattaya, or Chonburi province.....The seller lives here as well. I don't have it in my hand yet, but I am assuming it's registered here for now. If not, I will deal with that later.

Where ever this truck was last registered you will have to go there to re register it, ie the seller bought the truck in Chaing Mai and registered it there before moving to Pattaya you will have to go to CM to re register it. Done this twice not advice fact.

I thought I read somewhere about a new law that said all dogs had to be chipped,vacinated, have a colar with ID tag and only be let out in public with the owner ( or someone responsible ) on the other end of a leash.

Sure, and I read prostitution is illegal.

My sincere condolences to his family but I can't help but thinking that if he and all of his colleagues did a better job of enforcing traffic laws instead of just profiting from them, that perhaps there is a chance that this tragic accident might never have happened in the first place?

When I offer condolences, I do so without qualifiers, conditions, attachments or conjecture.

To issue a disclaimer and then insert these items, would make my words seem insincere and baseless.

Drivel.

It`s like this.

I can understand naive tourists and gullible newbies falling for scams from lack of experience, but there are no excuses for those who have lived here or travelled here frequently over a number of years.

The older guys who believe that women young enough to be their daughters or granddaughters will find them desirable for their looks, personalities and charm, those that become involved in dodgy business ventures or can`t be bothered to learn even the most basics of Thai language that need their wives or girlfriends to do all the negotiating while they stand there like a spare one at a wedding not having a clue what`s going on, the one`s that invest or part with vast amounts of money purely on trust, the fools that consider their bargirl lover is different from all the rest and the long and suffering who will ply resources into a relationship even though their partners treat them like crap but refuse to see the reality.

Thailand is no different from our home countries or anywhere else, no matter where we live there is always going to be someone, people or companies scheming to part us from our money because money is the only thing we have that everyone wants.

Being scammed depends on how gullible you are or trying to live the dream denying the

So the answer to the OP is; Thailand is the land of smiles for some and a fools paradise for others.

Good answer but I do not know of any country in the world where these good looking young ladies will lineup and invest. Several years of their prime life in an old farang and cater to his needs for some security later In life. Not all are out to enrich their families, however you will not meet this type in a brothel such as the bars in Pattaya or some low life Kareke bar.

Greed makes you blind.

I don't feel sorry at all for the monk.

What I'm surprised is that him alone had the facility and the funds to withdraw 40K Baht.

This is more important to be investigated by the police.

What I keep hearing and witnessing, draws me further and further away from religion.

And that does not only apply only for Buddhism but also any other religion and it's servants.

Could not agree more, just seems the monks are so dim they always get caught,but of course it can all be explained by ghosts or black magic.

as far as i am aware, canning kills everything. so it the cafe who are at fault for bad storage.

that said some of the tinned tuna one buys in thailand tastes as if the fish used is close to rotten when it was being tinned. adding salt improves it to edible

What the hell are you talking about ?

The books have now been given away, only one reply guess not too many people in H H read anymore.

I can only say I would risk jail as I would never employ a transgender donkey wearing a skull cap chomping on a grilled shrimp asking what time the beer break was, refusing to accept Christian holidays, Ramadan or work on Fridays, but then perhaps I am old fashioned or maybe from another planet.

So the mother was just 14 when she had the baby? Goes to show the abysmal lack of child welfare services in this Country. Immature parents and obvious sign of maltreatment on more than one occasion should have had red flags flying and warning bells ringing right from the start.

Get real, this is a third world country contrary to what you may believe, life here is very cheap,

Social welfare ? What the hell is that ? The only God is money, the only thing people care about is money, the poor in hospital are of no concern.

I lived with a vet for several years in the states and we had two dogs, one of them started doing this and she explained to me it was because they had a swollen gland,and it was a very coomonproblem she came across, a few pills sorted it out, take you mutt to a vet.

I bet that upset them. Just when they thought the coast was clear.

+1...Strange that they even allowed them to cross.

Not really when you consider the allaying lack of communications between various agencies, hey this is the third world.

Wine Connection are now locked during those hours & Villa won't sell you booze either.

There are no loopholes for the responsibly run businesses.

I understand the law was first introduced to stop students buying booze straight after school but that's now stopped me buying a cheeky pinot for dinner later in the evening.

Villa mart hua hin will sell you booze every minute they are open.

Why in the name of all this is holy would a strengthening economy devalue its currency ?? Am I missing something here ?

You are missing that the US economy isn't really strengthening, thats just an illusion created by the illuminati and the banksters to fool us all....in fact the US economy is in a deep depression and its currency is about to go to zero. The only way to protect yourself is of course to buy GOLD. The US cant withstand competition from the asians, like that Chinese company called Apple, for example.

Your basic conspiracy theorist spouting drivel and you bombs like this ? Get a life.

Oh how the mighty have fallen... the higher they're, the harder they fall, this is what happened when one

incur the wreath of the invincible and the powerful people......

ezzra, please let's be sensible now......

Not, the wreath of the invincible and the powerful people but the Damocles sword of justice in the hands of the present government.

They are delivering and keeping the law alive.

What a contrast from the previous governments............................

The Greek myth of Damocles has nothing to do with Justice, nor Athena. This is no contrast from any previous governments. It is an isolated case that was selectively enforced for reasons that are not allowed to be discussed in Thailand, although foreign newspapers have covered the charade in detail. The only thing delivered was a whale-sized red herring with a large helping of pompous hubris on the side, and keeping their version of injustice as law... alive...like a zombie is alive.

Costas, with your myth mangling miasma, do you even study the profound myths of the Greeks, much less are you actually Greek?

I'm no expert, but as long as he marries her or petitions her as a fiance I don't see a reason he could not bring her to USA.

That said, if I were her I would wonder why twice married to Thai women and divorced (even if he is legit that should set some alarm bells ringing), and I don't know if his claims are true or not but I'd be skeptical if I were her... My gut reaction is that there is something wrong here...

Appreciate your reply the problem is this very unattractive girl is a total desperate bimbo, had to convince her once not to borrow forty thousand baht to send to some scammer in Malaisia who said. He was sending her two baht in gold and a diamond wedding ring plus a ton of cash , the money according to the scammer was to pay off customs, I mention this simply to show that a lot of very unattractive females would sell their soul to marry a Farang as they think this. Is the way to untold riches, uneducated and really very dim and stupid. Living in a dream world.

I would not venture into this line of buisiness,i instead invest in rice farm's,safer,but all buisness venture carry an element of risk,nothing is 100%.

i invested in rice farm, until i realised the parents og my missis had no idea how to do the farming,

they just did know, Thaksin will pay;

Now all work is done by hired people,

after balance all expenses,

I happy that no land tax to be paid by my monthly allowence;;

now i got recommandation,

to let out the land,

and I will get back 1/3 of the harvest,

propably the 1/3 which have q for animal food :-((

Ah these sexy Issan girls, never go hungry .

There is a sucker born every minute, I would suggest this guy is beyond help.

Have about 40 paperbacks free if you pick up, we are down sizing a tad and moving to Korat. All good reads auteurs inc John Le Carre ,Stephen Hunter books of this type.

Pm for details.

My other half has a some what dim friend who keeps getting conned by scammers on the Internet. She claims some American guy came to visit her for two weeks who is very rich. He is going to build her parents a house in K K , marry her and take her back to the USA to manage his vast restraunt empire. He claims he has been married two times and divorced from thai wives and guarantees he can get her a visa. The people including my gfs family believe all this shit.

Myself being from USA does not believe one word of it, I do not believe one can apply in the USA for a marriage visa to a Thai national and be granted a visa for travel, especially when the guy claims to have been divorced two times fromThai females,

Please no smart ass comments this post is to convince my gf and her family that this is never going to happen.

All comments appreciated.

PS, this friend is no looker.
