If you want quality, nothing comes for free. Unless you are easily convinced, pick the first and best, and hope pure luck does the rest.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:31:06 +0000Yes and no. I can't believe that if someone is in such a situation that a trip to even the most ineptly staffed police station wouldn't get them started on the road to recovery. And people can be cruel but they can also be kind. We often hear of someone helping a total stranger when they could just as easily have looked away. As for the embassy helping, your points ring true. If I were is trouble, my country's embassy is the last place I would look to for help. These days they run the embassies as profit centers. LOL.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:30:03 +0000Pretty much agree with everything you say. A couple of things to add: 1. to maintain that level of hygiene for five weeks would require some ingenuity and the ability to process coherent thoughts. Suggests he may not have had a complete mental breakdown. The police can be variable in their response, from stand offish to falling over themselves to help ( I think they paid for one guys taxi fare to Bangkok in the not so distant past), but usually a hotel WILL help. I find it hard to believe that he just walked away from his hotel without saying anything.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:29:10 +0000That point has been done to death and the same person if paying by cash may well only start looking for their purse/wallet after everything has been rung through, dig through the contents of their handbag/manbag to find it's not there, find it in their pocket then painstakingly unfold the notes etc etc taking just as long if not longer. The point made upthread though was there seems disproportionally more of the phone ditherers than the cash ones.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:28:13 +0000No Mr Hummin, I have plenty of that, from my Mrs, her daughter, and her little 6 year old boy. And my family in UK, friends all over the Worlds, And if all else fails, I am left-handed! 555Sat, 23 May 2026 05:27:44 +0000Below is the list of the cards which don't have overseas transaction fees, a couple also don't have yearly fees. If your card is not in the list, the cards from the big 4 charge 3-3.5% fee.

They are dealing with drunken drugged farangSat, 23 May 2026 05:26:22 +0000By that logic, your own presence on ASEANNOW is evidence of mental instability? Interesting strategy.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:25:40 +0000Should test the MP's as well - I'm betting more than 2 would be found with purple pee 😁Sat, 23 May 2026 05:25:09 +0000No I’m saying the opposite. If I HAD Stayed living in England, downing six alcohol units a day, I’d either be dead or infirm. Much envy to anybody who dodged those oddsSat, 23 May 2026 05:24:56 +0000Sat, 23 May 2026 05:24:48 +0000Less than 10 seconds going to make you late for something? Heres a tip, open the app before payment is requested if you need to save that t8me!Sat, 23 May 2026 05:24:13 +0000Marcos Jr was 28 when his parents fled the Phillipines, supposedly having stolen $200 million from its people. Hard to believe he didn't know what was going on. The people elected his mother and his older sister to the senate despite this. Corruption, and family dynasties are part of political life in the RP. What's the old saying about getting the govt you deserve!Sat, 23 May 2026 05:23:59 +0000I hope you are also broadening your knowledge about this by searching all the relevant journal articles. Doc don't have a lot of free time to keep up to date. Better do it yourself to discuss this with a doc.

Best of health to you...Sat, 23 May 2026 05:23:53 +0000I suspect there may be additional context behind the situation that was not provided to those who initially helped this man. The article itself did not state that he “did not eat for five weeks”. It said he was without money to buy food or water, and without support, for more than five weeks - which is a different claim. If that timeframe is accurate, then it would also suggest he was at least receiving occasional assistance from locals or others along the way, otherwise survival for that length of time would obviously be extremely difficult. Situations like this are often more complex than they first appear.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:23:08 +0000I did post one clip of Oddball a few days ago,Sat, 23 May 2026 05:22:55 +0000Mr. Drummond was not obsessed with "fixing" Thailand. He reported on the foreigners who were engaged in criminal acts including financial fraud, trafficking of humans, pimping and conflicts of interests amongst other topics. The people he exposed usually had extensive criminal records in their homelands and had set up shop in Thailand where they preyed upon the vulnerable. Thailand's finances do not rely upon the operations of sketchy beer bars in tourist destinations operated by scummy foreigners. You miss the fact that the foreigners suck the money out of the operations, pay minimal taxes and rely on corruption to continue their operations. Other countries with a robust tourist trade do not rely on cheap beer bars and prostitution for their revenues. Thailand's tourist sector would not suffer if some of the crooked foreigners were removed. On the contrary it would be improved.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:22:39 +0000yeah, but maybe not for ethical or religious reasons. if you weren't gay, you probably would i'm guessing.Sat, 23 May 2026 05:21:18 +0000Sat, 23 May 2026 05:21:03 +0000Obviously their Muay Thai training didn't help , useless similar to the UK police , now the poor boy has PTSD !!Sat, 23 May 2026 05:20:40 +0000You also wants some love ? ❤️👏🌞Sat, 23 May 2026 05:20:19 +0000His mental heath cannot be too bad, because he hasn't yet signed up to ASEANNOWSat, 23 May 2026 05:20:19 +0000Compared with whom, yourself?
