jealous?

No. not at all!! Not sympathetic either - he risked his money to make more money and it didn't work out for him. Tough luck on that front

This chartered surveyor should have kept the money he had and stopped trying to make more. No sympathy for him I'm afraid. Greed is (not) good. JH should concentrate on matters that affect society (in an impartial way) and not about some greedy so-and-so who clearly didn't do his homework and was out of his depth!! 

 

I can imagine you are probably struggling to get by in some dingy 3500 baht a month room for you to have such a bitter and twisted attitude to other people's successyou don't sound very lucky to me

Nope, doing alright actually thank you very much!! The difference is, that I am providing a valuable service to 600 Thai's.

JH provides a valuable service to a multi-million strong global audience, inc quite a few in Thailand, your alleged 600 among them...

Congrats to this guy for trying to make some money.  Shame on the lawyer for cheating him out of his savings.  Terrible thing to do.  That is called greed.

 

JH is focusing on matters that affect this society.  This is just but just one.  Corruption is the #1 problem in Thailand today, IMHO.

Close!! No, actually you are completely on the wrong track as I hate noodles.

 Not allowed to sell what we deal with as that would be against the law!!

Getting into trouble wasn't enough for him. At this rate they BBC will be banned from Asia.

Which perhaps says rather more about the rule of law ( or it's perversion) in these respective Asian countries than it does about the BBC.

Being banned from Asia is what these corrupt governments here want.  Makes it easier for them when nobody is around taking them to task.

This same sort of stuff has happened many times in the past.  China doesn't want the truth coming out.
