Joe Farang Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 As the movie title said. "No country for old men" At least not in the tourist zones. But if you live among a good family in rural Thailand, they are different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 'Police Hunt Down Culprit for Attack on Elderly Dutch Tourist in Chonburi' or put another way, 'have not yet hunted down culprit.' I was about to congratulate (for the 1st time ever) the local police (who are still waiting for someone to blab and do their job for them as every other day.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdog Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Should not be hard to hunt down if attack was result of disagreement over rental... one would think... But... photo shows him sitting on motorcycle with sidecar.... IS that how he gets around? AND he has Alzheimer's Am I the only one who thinks might lead to traffic accidents, etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harsh Jones Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) He's an old Dutchman. He probably had an idea what the cost was gonna be. But it was 5 baht over so he told the guy to f off. 72 and still doesn't know when to cut his losses, (i have dutch grand parents. I know how they are) Edited July 6, 2023 by Harsh Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
