  1. Yes i heard this a few days ago.

    This is absolutely intolerable and totally stupid. Typical UK as like the right wing USA all they think and care about is MONEY not the big word "SERVICE" to the PEOPLE. Keep voting in right wing controlled Governments and you will get more of this type of thing to keep the UK minority wealthy elites in their lives of luxury whilst the rest of us ordinary folk get crapped on time and time again. High time we got rid of Tories in the UK and voted in a pure Lib Dem centre party Government (without them having to bow down in any way to the Tories) as they are at least a party of the people not for the rich greedy elite nor the power crazy extreme socialists either..

    Why do I pay UK taxes on my pension for what?? At least I felt I was getting some service for my money with the Pattaya Consulate office being there where it is truly needed adn where it offered a pretty good service to the.thousands of UK nationals in the area I reckon there are probably more UK guys living or on holiday in Pattaya than even Bangkok at a guess, so why make the much needed consular service inferior ??? . Hague visiting here, so is it any wonder he wants to save money and sod the UK nationals here .

    Come on now ow much do you think that tiny office in Soi 5 Jomtien costs to rent hmm ?? Bugger all I am certain knowing Thai rental costs in areas such as that. Then the cost of one or two at most locally employed staff who they will continue to need anyway to either relocate to Bangkok or replace them up there to deal with the extra workload from Pattaya. The costings really must be very small for sure and money so well spent for the huge benefit it gives to thousands of UK nationals living in Pattaya and the large surrounding areas. If they added say 100 Baht local excess charge to each and every customer paying service then with the amount of customers here that would easily pay their added costs to keep the office open here I am sure. And it would save so many elderly guys for instance a whole day of their remaining lives dragging themselves up to Bangkok each year for their pension letter or whatever they need and still be cheaper than the Bangkok return journey and taxis etc too.

    TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE SO CAN WE HAVE A REPLY FROM THE UK AMBASSADOR MR. MARK KENT PLEASE TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF AND TRY TO JUSTIFY THIS STUPID AND INTOLERABLE MOVE ???.

    Other than that life is good here in LoS I find, and all this crap reminds me that I am so glad I do not now have to put up with the crap and terrible way of life for the ordinary folk in right wing controlled Britain.

    What a self centred opinion you have. Every government department in the UK have been forced to cut costs. This

    is because the country is broke. Gordon Brown spent very nearly every last penny.

    You pay tax on your pension for a variety of services including consular services in BANGKOK. You also pay taxes

    for law and order. This, in turn, protects democracy . Thats why there is a coalition government which the lib dems

    were invited to join but only in a minority way. Thats because not enough people voted for them.

    Your opinion is that it costs little to run the Pattaya office but supply no facts so rather than rant, do the research,

    come up with facts so your opinion has credibility.

    Organise the elderly guys and have a day or two out. You might just enjoy broadening your views. Get on the bus/train/

    shared taxiand go to Bangkok. Its quite simple and its not far. It is certainly tolerable. Or would you like to have the UK broke,

    unable to pay your pension?

    Gordon Brown my arse! did he spend all Greece's Italy's Portugal's Americas etc etc money as well? It's an American caused global economic crisis! Grow up.

  2. Bottom line you guys in Pattaya wouldn't pay the true cost of the service. Return bus to BKK cost what 400 baht plus time out in the City of Angels - get over it.

    What is the true cost? I think 50 quid is more than enough for a pension letter.

    And will the British Embassy in Bangkok be able to do it in one day, because if they can't it will mean 2 trips?!!!. In Pattaya we had to go back the next day/date they were open to collect the letter..

    As for time out in the City of Angels, that's ok if you are fit, healthy and able to make the trip, which a lot of senior citizens may not be able to do.

    More proof on top of everything else, such as non-index linked pensions, that the British Government does not give a you not what to it's true citizens..

    ''It's true citizens''?

    you're living in Thailand!

  3. Any female at a Full Moon Party can be a target - if they go to these venues expecting to party, that usually means promiscuity. Let's face it - Thailand is just another 'hub' of Asian promiscuity. It does not discount the drivers actions. He was probably looking to get laid, admits he was smacked out, and got rejected big time. Let time unravel the punishment,acquittal or guilt.

    My jaw is dropped in horror at reading this comment. What happened to you to make you think like this?

    If a girl/boy/person chooses to be promicuous then they/we can but it doesn't mean they/we can't choose who they/we want to be promiscuous with or not.

    Thoroughly shocked at your attitude so I am. I wonder about you and your dark past ...

    You got that right! Don't forget, Thailand is a haven for some of the dregs of farang society. If you are as new to Thailand as your avatar suggests, be careful, there's a lot of bad people out there!

    Glad you agree but dont forget, the entire world is a haven for dregs of society. There's good and bad every where.

    That guy used the word "target". Very sinister. Targeting someone usually involves a victim. I've targeted a few people in my tank and with my SMG.

    No you have misinterpreted my avatar completely and you have come to a totally incorrect conclusion wink.png

    There may be good and bad everywhere, but in my 46yrs of visiting/living in Thailand, I've seen it turn from heaven on earth to hell on earth for a lot of people, and to be honest, if I didn't have a beautiful Thai girlfriend I wouldn't come here ever again.

  4. Look at this guy!! He must weigh 40 kg. How in the world would he ever think he was going to rape anything, let alone TWO grown white women? He must have been high on something!! This guy doesn't look like he could successfully rape a stuffed animal. Those 2 women should have taken a good 30 minutes beating this a$$hole within an inch of his miserable little life. My guess is he's going to get some lessons in how to really rape someone where he's going. Jackass!!

    He looks at least 6 ft tall and most likely muay thai training !! And could probably smoke ur arse !!

    Oh please! how do you work that out? just because he's taller than a couple of midget cops! and what if he is muay thai trained, big deal, with muscles like that he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. He's just a drugged up disrespectful little sh*t. And why are 20yr olds driving tourist vans?

    quality how one can tell so much about a person by looking at them. he is ammuayt thai fighter and a giant who smokes <deleted> lol that means he was messed up on crack thenbiggrin.png

    LOL cheesy.gif

  6. if the girls had wanted to get laid they would probably have found someone at the party and gone home with them etc etc. they had done everything right, by their thinking, in that they used an agency to organise all the travel so they thought they would be perfectly safe and be dropped off in their hotel with no hassle. people trying to read other things into their actions are just using their imagination and prejudice.

    So you have it on good authority that the two girsl are angels?

    What the hell is wrong with you? why are you sticking up for this piece of dirt and trying to besmirch the two girls?

    Is it because you fancy him yourself? are you some girl hating lady boy loving farang pervert?

    Leave them alone, just because two girls want to have some fun and party doesn't mean they want to be abducted and assaulted by some little drugged up guttersnipe!

    Shame on you!!!

  8. Really haven't eliminated the racist bigotry on that fee structure, like to see what would happen if they did this in OZ/ NZ or in our western friends above the equator, countriescoffee1.gif

    My daughter has blond hair, blue eyes and is as white as the Irish and gets the Thai price.

    That is cause she is a Thai citizen.

    Race has nothing to do with it.

    Simple mind! And do you pretend that she had not to show her ID or passport? I bet for everything I have that she had to show it and that the document was very meticulously (suspiciously) examined...

    My mind might be simple, but at least it isn't feeble.

    Hand over your cash sonny.

    The only time I need to show my daughters Thai passport is at immigration.

    I drive up and say (in Thai) two Thai tickets please. They hand them over and we are done.

    And even if I did (which I don't) then so what? Someone said the policy was racist. My daugther clearly isn't your bog standard looking Thai. But she still gets the price she is entitled to, despite her appearance.

    yep - she's the one in the middle just to rub it in some more....

    You're having a laugh! They charge you for a baby?

  9. Funny how Korkeaw says the black shirt were organized by the Democrats, and Jatuporn says they were Army people. So which one is it?

    Their so-called "evidence" is so thin it is laughable.

    The Dems are the political wing of the army

    Don't be ridiculous.

    What's ridiculous about the truth?

  10. The thing is with Alcohol most humans use this regular in their life (not all I know) it is made from such a natural and simple process, it is 100% natural that way, we know the side effects are bad for many people, but we know that even the Judge or Doctor that works with the bad cases enjoy a drink now and then, it's positive effect are many, it's regular use by most people is not an issue. It's bad effects are NEVER understated, everyone knows what a Alcholic is like, everyone knows some people can't handle it... but you will never be able to get rid of it.

    If meth was used as casual as beer, we would ALL be addicted to this, of course it causes people to completely go mad and kill people, the rehab centers in Vancouver do not work with Meth addicts, THEY HAVE NEVER GOT ONE PERSON TO QUIT OTHER THAN JAILING, herion, cocanie everything else can be quit, meth leaves a person like bipolar for life.. go read about it.

    ''it's positive effect are many''

    name them.

  11. ah! Just as I'm going to close the window, I see a good example 2 threads above this once:

    "Red Bull heir did 'coke' before accident"

    BANGKOK: -- Traces of cocaine were found in the blood of the Red Bull heir who ran a traffic-police officer over with his Ferrari this year.

    The Thong Lor Police Station told the media yesterday that Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 27, the youngest son of Red Bull tycoon Chalerm Yoovidhya, did indeed have traces of cocaine in his blood as well as more alcohol than is permissible by law on the day of the accident.a

    - traces of cocaine -> he took cocaine 2 or 3 days before (or those wouldn't be "traces")

    - more alcohol than is permissible by law -> he was drunk

    the title -> "coke before accident"

    What people remember : Cocaine makes you have accidents

    What actually happened : Alcohol made him have an accident

    Spot on!

  12. Guess what drug cause the MOST DAMAGE to families around the world....by far.....ALCOHOL

    So where is the difference?

    TAX the sh... out of everything that causes harm,GUNS included.I bet you the result would be greater than the so called wars against this and that,which have no positive affect at all.

    shall tell you the difference, Alcohol on its comedown does not make you want to hack the <deleted> out of yourself, family members and anyone in the general vicinity.I Where as a rule I would support your stance on a legalisation of most drugs (as I have pretty much tried them all in my past) not on this absolutley god awful crystal meth based abomination. Its very difficult to get tax out of a unhinged loone with a machete, good luck in trying.

    ''I shall tell you the difference, Alcohol on its comedown does not make you want to hack the <deleted> out of yourself, family members and anyone in the general vicinity''

    No, just while you're still pissed, you feel too bad on the comedown to do anything!

  13. thread on drugs
    bring up alcohol
    This thread is not about alcohol

    Like it or not, alcohol is a drug.

    And it is by far the drug with the most harmful consequences, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

    If you don't agree, I would ask you to put your prejudices aside and spend some dear time reading about the subject.

    Let no one be fooled, most of the harm doesn't come from the chemicals themselves. They come from:

    Misinformation -> Users don't know how much is in their doses. Most overdoses are unintentional. Sell drugs in pharmacies and get rid of most overdoses.

    Users don't know what the real risks are. Inform people instead of letting rumours go around and you'll get, for instance, no more water intoxication, because "You need to drink a looot of water with this or you'll get dehydrated"

    Marginalization -> Users cannot be open about their use. They cannot easily ask for advice from people competent to answer.

    They have to restrict their use to circles that are also living marginally, which may further ostracize them, maybe leading to an unhealthy or criminal lifestyle.

    If they could take their drug of choice like you drink your bud, they could peacefully consume a safe amount with the money their earned, without bothering anyone.

    Lies -> Once a user realizes how much the authorities lie about a drug, he's not likely to trust any advice from people who haven't ever used the drugs they are talking about.

    If you need examples of lies, well... I pretty much have yet to hear anything both true and complete about a drug from the authorities of [your favourite country here].

    Be honest about both the positive and negative aspects of a drug and users will more likely consider both.

    And of course, there is the harm of the lies that people who have never used drugs believe.

    A meth addict turns violent -> first page of the news papers. Everyone thinks that after taking meth once you become a murderer.

    Thousands of drunks turn violent every day -> no mention anywhere except on the faces of the beaten wives

    10,000 dead a year on the roads (Th), a good part of them due to drunk driving -> you hear about them on the 13th of April and then you're good for one year

    Tousands of heroin addicts who never do anything harmful to anyone -> People who only get their information from the media don't even know they exist.

    Prohibition -> Users can't go to the store to buy drugs, they have to get them through illegal ways, which may imply getting involved with shady people (ex: corrupted cops)

    Drugs being illegal, they are much more expensive than they would be on the legal market. Users feeling already rejected by society for not being able to use freely, as you drink your beer, are more likely to try to get the money they need illegaly.

    Prohibition - violence

    Legalization - peace

    History both past and present is witness

    Look at the USA, Mexico or Thailand and their overwhelming failure in an unecessary war.

    See Portugal and its huge success in dealing peacefully with its drug consumption.

    (I'm sorry, I don't really ever open this site and may be here to reply, so if you feel like writing a long post, maybe check before that someone else will be willing to participate in the exchange of ideas smile.png )

    Probably the most brilliant post I have ever seen on TV.
