I'm pretty sure you won't and I know why.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:25:41 +0000The trouble, although magnified through Social Media and AN is mainly caused by the two week millionaires. The youngsters committing these offences cannot afford long stay. This is down to Anutin, remember during Covid and what he said, when a Brit declined a facemask he was handing out.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:24:02 +0000Despite being a seven-year-old post, it is still relevant today. Many of the comments above have summed up the reasons for lack of accountability quite nicely. I can't add much to this except to say that I'm married to my second Thai wife, and although they are completely different people, they have the same lack of accountability in common, that is, they like to excuse lack of accountability, lie to save face and prefer to side with dodgy Thais instead of me despite being right. I can happily say though that my two Thai children from my first marriage refuse to associate with Thailand and reject the non-accountability issue. My second Thai wife's children are also less traditional and they often agree with me when I identify BS and accountability issues. Therefore, I am hopeful that Thailand is growing up and will embrace accountability. Any older Australian might remember the adage "Close enough is good enough"? That is no longer acceptable to most Australians. Thailand is also catching up. I'm hopeful that in another 50 years, TH will have caught up. But my advice to you for now is that unless the non-accountability impacts you directly, let it go. There's no point in trying to change something that you cannot change.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:21:12 +0000What the hell has gone wrong with your Chinese made keyboard? And your spell checker is broken.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:16:05 +0000EaterWed, 03 Jun 2026 19:11:44 +0000I am not a massive fan of Keir Starmer but he couldn't have said that any better. Shame on Farage, absolute shame.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:09:33 +0000Another New York Times Sardine article... https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-sardines/ Hopefully, there is no need to smuggle them in. Just be prepared to pay about USD9.00 per tin. They little bugger don't come cheap. Living on this overpopulated planet has become a true hell, from a natural resources perspective. So, who wants to live longer, anyway. Sardines just taste good.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:05:40 +0000Starmer criticising Farage for exploiting the death of Henry, particularly when the family asked no one to do thatWed, 03 Jun 2026 19:01:32 +0000Where pray tell is Thailand's complaint office, and how long did you have to wait in line???Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:59:35 +0000HealthyWed, 03 Jun 2026 18:55:50 +0000I would be OK with this brand, too... Although, this might not even be a brand. But, the fish looks OK to me. I would not touch sardines in tomato sauce, or anything like that, with a 10-foot fishing pole. But, where to buy in Thailand?Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:51:33 +0000Ey lad, weet real grim, coal dust for breakfast, lunch ant dinnerWed, 03 Jun 2026 18:41:15 +0000I LOVE sardines, the canned type. But, I don't know where to buy them. When i was young, I could eat a ton of these..... However, I would imagine that the price is now through the roof. Right? Wrong? I could dig a can a day, for sure. But, as I suspected: OUT OF STOCK This world is HUGELY OVERPOPULATED with Humans. Over 8.5 Billion fools on the planet, these days. So, if you want good fish, then you must pay now, before it goes completely extinct. =================== I am very picky about my sardines. I must have good quality, for example.....this species.....Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:35:11 +0000No need for the cynicism to this story. Actions like this should get reported, it serves as an example for ALL of us (not just for BKK taxi drivers)! I hope his good deed did not go unrewarded.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:33:08 +0000DietWed, 03 Jun 2026 18:28:15 +0000Why did Ted Bundy shun guns? A gun ban would not have stopped Ted. And, one might wonder: If Ted had been more interested in guns, and gun-related hobbies, then he might have joined the NRA, and become a model citizen. If only......Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:27:22 +0000what's your affordable go-to brand of canned sardines in Bangkok? I tried the local Sumaco brand at local supermarkets. The version in olive oil is not good - bad quality oil and the fish has rubbery texture. The version in tomato sauce is actually more edible. Saw the Connetable brand sold there too, which would be guaranteed top quality, but at over $5 a can it's a pass for me.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:25:46 +0000BalancedWed, 03 Jun 2026 18:23:50 +0000It sounds like it was either a lot of alcohol, drugs or mental illness, regardless this guy should be under somebody's care. He does not seem fit to call himself a tourist nor an expat, in good standing. I guess Thailand is attracting an awful lot of dregs these days and we really have to go out of our way to maintain decorum and treat our host with kindness and respect. This is not our country this country truly belongs to the Thais.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:22:50 +0000That's nothing. That Gun of the Year looks extremely TACKY.... I have always preferred Goldfinger's Gun of the Century... I just wish I had bought it when the price was right.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:12:56 +0000Really sick. Hoping U.S. authorities get involved so that if convicted and able to pay his way out, he faces charges in the U.S. which will be a lot more severe.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:12:40 +0000Would like to know how much they gave him as a reward. I'd up the above poster to 40,000 baht because a lot of folks living hand to mouth would not have returned 320,000 baht. That money could have gone a long way to constructing a house in Issan.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:11:00 +0000But, what good is just a visit, I am wondering..... I would never go anywhere... Just for a visit. By the time one adjusts after travel time, wasted time booking flights, it's time to return from whence one came. What is the point in that? Might as well just watch YouTube videos until one is fully prepared and ready to make the move to Thailand.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:07:55 +000095% of the people advocating the second amendment as the right for everyone to own a gun don't understand the amendment. Exact wording: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". Regulated militia meaning an authority says yes, you can own a firearm as you are part of this military necessity. The second amendment does not say everyone can own a gun. This is where all these right to bear arms types are completely off the rails.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:05:26 +0000This is all fine. It's fine for the guys from the UK, anyway. But, why did I hold the belief that he was from America, someplace??? Where did he go to school, for example? I must have things all mixed up.Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:03:43 +0000
