Remember that Nana Entertainment Plaza, soi Cowboy and  Pattaya, happen to be

typical farang hangouts.

sex foot massage shops

huh??? 

Where does the fault lay? The Thai Government.

It's a shared responsibility and fault.... People are also responsible for their actions.

Do you live in a cave? Never seen girls in Thailand in foot massage places that won't take you out back for a blow, or whatever you want for money? I have even seen them in the hairdresser/maicure shops 'inside' a 4 star hotel. They will give you a "massage" and offer to come to the room anytime you want, for whatever you want.

There will ALWAYS BE men who want easy, cheap, sex with young, pretty women. ALWAYS. So, the Thai government allow sex bars, sex massage shops and legal prostitution... and they do so to 'encourage' more men in the 'always' bracket, to come to spend dollars or whatever currency in Thailand.

In a "Perfect World" it is a shared responsibility. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we do not live, nor will we ever live, in a perfect world.

If the Thai government made prostitution completely illegal, there would be less tourists and that is a certainty. But the tourists they do get would be a better class of people. It would take time and plenty of good advertising, but eventually the better class tourists and money would come... for the diving, the game fishing, the beautiful beaches, the sunshine, the SMILES, the wonderful people, the food, the history, the the the the......

why on EARTH travel so far, go on a long boat ride to a very small, isolated, and not all that developed (in Jan. 2000) tropical island , to eat something they can have in their own neighborhood back home???

Yeah, it seems a bit crazy, but then again we all have a steak or pasta from time to time...the rice just gets too much 3-times-a-day 7 days a week...but yes, this guy was obviously very rude about it - how can you expect the same quality of western food on a remote Thai Island?!?!?

To say nothing that his huge girth, making the immensely stretched Speedo's practically burst with tension, could have certainly benefitted from a reduced calorie plate of fresh, chilled tropical fruit.

Wow, talk about going off the original topic.

Umm, left here at the intersection thanks.

IT SEEMS  THAT  THE BRITS DONT RESPECT OTHER PEOPLES WOMEN!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This is really a stupid statement. Not so much because it blames the British - which is not fair - to generalise as have been said before. But, because the assumption is that women 'belong' to men. What do the women on this board say?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Once again an idiotic statement, and who says the women belong to anyone anyway or are we back to slavery these days. The sooner thai blokes get passed "possessing" women the better.

Presumably she was going to be with her of her own free will, but of course "na sia" and all that makes it perfectly acceptable to stab another human being.

Obviously, ###### hath no fury as a Thai bloke scorned.

It was reported in the Aussie media that Richie Collins was stabbed by a Thai taxi driver and robbed of his belongings. The report went on to say that the cabbie had a gambling problem.

Aussies got it wrong again. That was more likely the British Chef who got killed between Pattaya and Sattahip.

Richie was killed because he was talking to a friend - and the friend had been involved with a jealous Thai who would not listen to any patient, polite explanation that people could be friends. So to prove his side of a senseless argument, he kills the guy who had all the rights on his side.

This is Thailand.

I have just received an unconfirmed report that a friend of mine, Richie Collins, 190cm Brit, has been stabbed to death on the beach.

Can anyone confirm / deny?

He is / was one of the sweetest guys around - absolutely inoffensive.

Please can someone respond?
