Southport Stabbing: Child Killed and Several Injured in Taylor Swift-Themed Workshop Attack
It is not us who are the brain dead, we argue our points, it is the people who just smear and never engage in debate because they can't who are clearly the intellectually challenged ones. Your post proves this, just an insult. That's it. Just another typical Leftie name calling. Feel free to counter my point above, if you can. Explain the basis for 'lowlifes'. Define 'lowlife 'What is your supporting arguments for this? -

English speaking facilitators at private hospitals...
I have been to hosptials numerous times in Thailand - and only ever speak in English with the Doctors treating me. I expect them to speak English and IF they are not fluent enough, that means for me that they are not up to date with international advancements. There has never been any additional charge with Doctors speaking English, an additional translator has never been required. IF however an 'additional facilitator' is required - then I imagine there would be a charge - perhaps in a provincial hospital etc. -

Cheap Charlies blocked my review
I was very very sick in Pattaya last year. I actually had a flesh eating bug in my leg, and had daily trips to Bangkok Hospital to fight for my leg to not be amputated (it was no joke). I was on heavy drugs, lucid sometimes, very erratic and moody. I probably came across as a candidate to be an under 35 year old mental health patient. My attempts to be pleasant were used to try to moderate the days I just could not smile because of the pain and fear, as well as a dose of psychological trauma I was going through. The staff at Cheap Charlies on Buakhao pulled me through, their chicken meals (which I recommend, but the full size was too big for me) got me through my time recovering, the staff knew I was unwell and were always extremely kind to me. Not a single staff member showed an ounce of unfriendliness towards me, I was never asked for a tip. The only thing that used to irk me was that demand for the deserts was high enough that when I managed to motivate myself to go outside, the local cheap charlies had already beaten me to the apple pie, or whatever desert was on special for the day. The card for me was worth it, I ate there at least once, often twice daily, virtually every day for a month. Without that place and their western orientated food at a good price being so close to where I stayed, my recovery would have been much worse. The waiters and waitresses at the restaurant were my daily dose of normalcy, watching the behavior of some of the wackheads that used to walk in with the most bizzarre behavior was amusing, but in general most customers appeared "normal", if we as Farang can be seen as "normal" in Thailand. p.s. The staff that I saw on Buakhao were all Thai, we spoke in Thai and they did not have Thai Lao, Lao, or Khmer accents when we spoke. Had I picked up on it, I would have asked them. There are Khmer and Lao people in Pattaya, they tend not to be Front of House on mainstreet restaurants. Isaan yes, Khon Lao or Khmer Khrom at Cheap Charlies, no.- 1

English speaking facilitators at private hospitals...
It really would depend on the specific hospital in question and their policies / practices toward tourists / expats. I always ask for, and am provided, a detailed billing statement in EN of just what I'm being charged for and at what prices... Though I usually have to make a specific request when paying the bill to get that. Oddly, the private hospitals almost never seem to voluntarily provide that, absent a specific request. Normally, in my experience, a hospital staff assisting with language translation issues with other TH-only speaking hospital staff wouldn't involve any extra charges. However, if someone requested or was assigned some kind of specialized nursing service for some reason, that most certainly would trigger added charges. Also, in general, there are well-established policies and practices at various private hospitals whereby tourists and/or expats are charged higher prices than Thai nationals would be for the same exact medical services.... -

So anybody with right of center views, according to you is either " A fascist thug" or " a brain dead lowlife" Presumably in your opinion this broad description applies to anybody not in favour of mass immigration, and anybody not in favour of the islamification of the UK. and indeed anybody who does not agree with you.- 1

Ex-Pats targeted on Sky Train
Yes, and without looking again I think one of the pages shows where they fall below the subsistence level. I don't know about other countries, but the UK for example has pension credits for those getting below the regular state pension so bringing them into line with it, and the UK is oft cited as having one of the lowest pensions around. That also then qualifies them for many more potential benefits. I think we're getting (well) away from the MRT discount being discontinued so I'll leave it at that. -

Which Policies do you support?
Have y'all noticed that a huge number of the Trump haters arent posting here?. Sort of confirms what I have suspected: Bots. The paid job is to go all over the net and Trump bash. Policies dont matter, discussion of that subject is against the interests of the Bot Masters. -

Yes, I have regularly seen the older guys leering at waitresses , winking at them and asking what time they finish work and pay their bill with 1000 Baht note hoping to impress the waitresses -

That's a good approximation to reality. But... quoting "dreamholidayasia" for a legal opinion, that's quite something -
