I have just been reading a story about thai greed, about all the scamming that is going on in places like pattaya, koh samui and other islands. And a person has made a comment that says " The beheading of a belgian couple is just hitting international news and this will not help" I don't know if he is saying this has happened in Thailand, but would seem strange to mention it otherwise. Anyone else heard anything.

So anyone questioning your version of events is just spouting nonsense and speculation, but your opinions are 100% fact. Please let us know how you are privy to such information, and that your opinions are not just based on what you have read.

Would love to know the name and rank of the copper is, that has claimed the million baht reward.

thanks for the help guys. my current visa runs until january3rd 2015, so i guess they will stamp me until then.

I have been on a retirement visa for the last 4 years, but in that time i haven't been back to England. I have to go back next month for a month. I return to Thailand on the 26th november. My next 90 day report is due on the 28th november. Does anyone know if immigration at the airport will just let me do my next report or will they stamp me with a 30 day visa. thanks in advance for any help.

jlcrab, why are you so argumentative. All this guy asked for was some information about ex-pat population, bars/restaurants that cater for falangs in Isaan. So far all you have done is give him crap. If you had to drive to somewhere in Thailand that you didn't know how to get to, and you came on here asking for directions would you expect to get a load of crap spewed at you.

What does it matter to you what his ideas are, because it's obvious that even if it was the best idea in the world, that you don't have the spare cash to invest. I actually know what his plans are, and although I don't actually think that there is the opportunity for him to be a success in Isaan, what right do I have to critiscise him.

Oh my god, lostin isaan your silence is deafening.

Lostinissan, no one is doubting that what you are saying is true. But your stupidity is mind blowing. I can only assume that if you are being so flippant in your attitude to posting names,not actual names, but the ranks of police officers, and also specific areas where they are stationed, that maybe at the present time you are not in thailand. Do you not realise how easy it is these days to trace a IP adress.

But if you are so clever that you have devised a way to avoid detection, please share it with the rest of us, so we can all throw caution to the wind and say what we want about the police here in sisaket and surrounding areas.

Seems to me mate that you are not taking this thing seriously, you obviously feel that you are one of those people that think "they can never trace me". I am sure that is what the yaba dealers that were caught thought. By the way the ones that didn't get tipped off, are regarded as collateral damage.

The way that the net is being monitored at the moment,i'm not sure that it is a good idea to be accusing the police in Uthom Phon Pisai of being yaba dealers, and specifically naming the chief of police there as being the main man in charge of the dealing. As the op on this topic, i live in a small village next to uthom, and while i agree that some people are getting tipped off when a raid is on the way. I would still be very wary of naming individuals.

Bermondburi, so if your nephew was guilty in the past, do you think we should feel sorry for him now. Do you think that when he was lining his pockets, that he considered that some of the people he was selling to may have been young kids who's lives he was ruining. I bet he didn't give a flying f#ck as long as he was getting his money. I say they should have shot him and rid the area of yet another lazy arsed scumbag that didn't want to do proper work to earn a living.

It seems like the army are coming down hard on the yaba dealers. Since last sunday we have had 3 early morning raids in our small village. And there have been a few in the past several weeks. Funny thing is I can't recall any in the last few years by the police.

guys if they charge  80 baht for a bottle of water, what makes you think  that the wine and cheese would be free. They have a great location, it is owned by the Marriot, so no rent to pay, and yet they are the most expensive bar in Pattaya when they could be the cheapest. It makes no sense .

What happened to the promise made by the president of the State Railways that if another train derailed he would resign. A promise made the day before he was on the train that derailed on the new relaid line, that he was re-opening at the time

Can anyone tell me any details about z tv. i hear that you just go to 7/11 to top up each month the same as putting money on your phone. do they have a good selection of programmes, and will they be showing all the premiership matches. finally what is the cost of the dish and installation. cheers guys.

so can anyone tell me was the curfew imposed in places like Surin and Ubon last night.

does anyone know if norbie might be willing to rent his bar out. i think he has probably the best situated and best fitted out bar in surin. and i think given the right management it could be a real winner. or maybe he would be interested in a partner. if anyone knows norbie personally please have a word with him and ask him to pm me. cheers guys.

p.s. i dont get to surin very often, so please no trolling on why i don't ask him myself.

Need help please I have a friend who needs some documents translated fron thai to english. She lives 25 kilometres outside of Sisaket on the Surin side. Looking for someone in Sisaket, Surin or even Ubon. Thanks in advance for your help.

Let's face it, Acorn screwed up at the old Shenanigans and they will screw up in Jomtien. Their first mistake was sacking Stuart.Here was a guy that was well respected by the customers, and it was only his ideas that kept the place going. But as usual a company that failed miserably in one venue thinks they can go somewhere else and be a success. I wish i could have a one to one conversation with the owners, and ask them what their plan was, on how to make a sucess of Jomtien, but of course they will never listen. I challenge anyone who is in charge of Acorn to PM me and ask me for my opinions on how to make a sucess of Jomtien, but they never will. I ran very sucessful bars in the UK for 30 years, and I will bet my life that Acorn will either put this bar up for sale or shut down within one year.So go on, anyone from Acorn PM me and ask for advice.

Geriatrickid, you really do talk a load of Bollo*ks. Firstly let's talk about the hiso's. member for member Thaksins goverment were far richer than the Democrats goverment, but i must admit they weren't when first elected, but by the time that thaksin crapped himself and fled they were. As for Yingluck not using the army to inflict violence on the protesters, there is only one reason for that. It is because the army would refuse to do it. And just remind me will you, when the (peaceful) red shirts occupied Bangkok in 2010, did they not set up blockades using sharpened bamboo poles, and burning tyres, as well as of course many buildings getting burned down from accidental sparks caused by the burning tyres. I wish apologists like you would wake up to the fact that the Thaksin regime has ruined this country, and now even the poor are realising, that in the past although they got less for their rice, at least they were paid for it.
