Again purely heresay from khun Paul. How can you justify commentating on this tragic accident? It is obvious that you were not near the scene but your self oppinionated nature has to make such a stupid comment. Please comment on FACTUALS and do use the spell checker as obviously spelling and gramme...

One of two things depending on how I perceived the situation and the attitude of the youngsters. Either ignored it completely as none of my business,recognizing their youth and the regular indiscretions of youth generally speaking everywhere, or, I might of wandered over ,striking up a friendly conv...

Sin sod came up for discussion ,again,last night at the NM get together.Consensus was that everyone is different ,including the families and the falangs relationship with them.So it is an individual decision for each relationship! IMO,many Thai families that are genuinely concerned about the longter...

Tuk Tuks are a great way to slow down yourself ,to make the adjustment to retired life and a more relaxed pace and lifestyle.We don't have motorbikes because I worry about the problems they can present to the family as far as possible injuries are concerned,But I would have a tuk tuk if I didn't hav...

I would think that the bank taking the gold as collateral,would have the right to liquidate it if the price dropped to challenge the balance owed.Once ''put up'' as collateral you would lose control of it other than to sell and retire the loan!

Yes,and when you want to close your acct,there will also be a service charge.Pretty soon all the banks in the World will be following this system of fees How do you think these banks survive with all the bad loans on their books?Fees baby,fees

My thinking and hoping is very selfish!I hope this put pressure on Thailand to compete currency wise and weaken the baht against the dollar!

The death is unfortunate and unnecessary,but it is normal driving here to not stop for pedestrians,the drivers seem to have the right a way.Unless the car swerved out of the driving lane,the falang caused his own death whether from ignorance or incompetence.This is Thailand,and whether anyone likes ...

I agree with your last statement ,for sure,but there is a strong possibility that the officers had no choice about the matter.And they did provide an alternative rather then just say NO!

Focusing on and remembering the delightful things that happen,is always an uplift!Sometimes it is nice to be reminded that good and enjoyable things happen,no matter where we live! I never heard my first in-laws ever say anything negative about anyone else,that is why they were a pleasure to be arou...

Farangs driving a tuk tuk, what a f......en joke, are you cheap charlies. If you are a CC, you shouldnt be in Thailand. The few falangs I have seen up there driving them look absolutely ridiculous.

I know several guys in NK that have TukTuks!They take their family around town in them!One guy bought a used one by asking the drivers at Tesco if anyone had one for sale.Paid 11,000 baht for it and over a year period,or so,spend 5-6,000 baht fixing it up.They all have motorbikes and bicycles also,j...
