They are probably in their 30s, 40s, or maybe 50s. Why can't they work? Why would they need her to sell hr body, give her soul, and her life to send money "home"?? They amazing 'Thai family institution' we have all heard so much about, ladies and gentlemen.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:31:48 +0000If it had "happened" when he was driving a car, he would have got off scot-free, with the family having to pay for and mount a legal case to get compensation from the insurance.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:29:41 +0000I have used the Spanish health system on numerous occasions, as has my wife and Mother. In may case I have found Doctors overprescribe and they still routinely prescribe Nolotil, which is a disgrace. My Mother initially went to a Government hospital, after being discharged she had a relapse. She opted for a Private hospital and they contradicted the medical assessment of the Government hospital. On another occasion she was given an unnecessary procedure because of a language misunderstanding. English speaking Doctors was perhaps 50% of the time. Her passport was LOST by the medical services once when she was rushed to hospital. In Spanish hospitals, both private and public, they expect the family to feed the patient. We know many people with terrible experiences there, both private and public. I know someone who had a foot operation in Spain and returned to the UK to have it done properly some months later. Another person was called for an operation late one evening and after waiting 10 hours returned back home without the operation being done. To rank them anywhere near Thailand, is not a view I share.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:29:03 +0000Exactly what Leona Helmsley said...Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:25:30 +0000Exactly. I was saying this just a few days ago and got downvoted. There's always a price in this country. Your 17 year old child is killed and stuffed in a suitcase and left somewhere like trash. How much can we profit from this? 1 million baht, of course! Let me just puke! God, there is not much humanity here, that's for sure. Just when I thought this case couldn't get any worse. I suppose they want compensated for loss of earnings.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:24:45 +0000Misery loves company.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:24:38 +0000Middle name looks like it's missing a letter nSat, 04 Jul 2026 11:24:25 +0000Ben Wa Balls or Anal beads ... 🙄Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:24:12 +0000I think this is the first time this topic has ever been raised on the forum. It will be a massive hit. Cant wait to read 20 pages of misery.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:24:08 +0000Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:23:29 +0000Yeah, it's all above board, so he really isn't a hypocrite at all. No siree Bob!😂Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:23:26 +0000OK but this is good: One step the alleged killer of Thai teen found in suitcase could take to escape death penalty By Ella McIlveen, News.com.au Published July 3, 2026, 1:30 p.m. ET https://nypost.com/2026/07/03/world-news/alleged-murderer-may-not-escape-death-penalty-even-if-pays-compensation-to-family/Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:22:38 +0000I would because it is more clean and not too difficult for an electrician to do. I have some locals that know little about solar but are good at figuring it out. They will work all day and are happy with a 1000 baht. Wife has watched me get zapped too many times so I just mention I need to fix something that is 220v (we have many 12v -24v batteries I use on the property) and they magically show up. She must want me to stick around... Tempting to get the PowMR inverter at that price. That is how easy it is to add months onto to the ROI. Always a reason to upgrade but in reality most would be better just sticking with their current setup and let it depreciate for many years. I could also upgrade my Neta EV ( you own) but it is the best car I have ever owned. If I upgrade, it would be 100% an ego thing :) I could get BYD seal for that is a year old for around a million baht. I'm off on a tangent....Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:20:20 +0000Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:19:21 +0000Yep, it's gone from trying to hide it, to not bothering, to actually bragging about it.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:18:36 +0000Thanks - Our land is right on the border with Uthai Thai in Mae Poen and yes it is lovely there.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:15:59 +0000Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:13:58 +0000Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:13:25 +0000Please stop using sensible facts - people struggle putting flippers on - that’s the real argument here !!! 🤫Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:10:35 +0000It's just non-stop. They're not even trying to hide it. Grok (AI):Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:07:23 +0000While I don't condone the actions of the brit in any way, shape or form, Phuket is notorious for massively overcharging passengers, whether it's tuk-tuks, taxis or motorcycle taxis. So, don't be surprised if people get p.ssed for being overcharged... Having said that, 300 Baht for 3 people doesn't sound that bad... Either way, have fun back at home...Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:07:14 +0000So we're all agreed then - he was caught banging some local brasss or was suspected of doing it, and she killed him and now Charlie has a free pot farm. Job done.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:07:13 +0000So it's a lost cause is what you're saying.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:06:17 +0000It has been reported many times that companies and lawyers involved in the setting up of illegal nominee companies are also being investigated.Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:03:44 +0000Well, the Thai teachers at the school I was working at back in the early 2000s got only 8000 Baht. Then a few years later their salary was raised to 15K a month because the government established a new benchmark of 25K/month for entry-level bachelor's degree holders. However, entry-level salaries generally range from THB 15,000 to THB 30,000 depending on the industry, university prestige, and specific skill set, which makes the minimum salary effectively 15K/month...Sat, 04 Jul 2026 11:03:05 +0000
