[why do they like to rub my beer belly]

It's a distraction while they go for your wallet.

[Chinese tourists reportedly flock into Thailand to celebrate Chinese New Year]

Gonna be a lot of extra spit, snot and noise.

[Anger, grief in Mideast at IS killing of Jordanian pilot]

*Deleted Post Edited out*

Looked pretty real to me...especially the flesh dripping off his face near the end of the video.

[Jordanian pilot burned alive by IS]

The idea that these so called humans have rights pretty much dooms western civilisation.

[Jordanian pilot burned alive by IS]

I watched the video. Would love to see the ISIS scum get the same treatment as that poor man got.\

High quality video production by the way…not just some rag head with a phone in the middle of a sand pit.

[Describe Thailand in One Word]

Mad

[Anybody who never had kids regret it ? I'm still on time but is having kids in Thailand a good idea?]

Got to experience both worlds.

42 years without one and being single.

Now married with a nipper and hopefully experience another 42 years like this.

[Two more arrested for Thai noodle vendor's death]

Throw them to the angry mob.

[Teaching job in Ubon Ratchathani]

Are you a westerner? If so, why are you asking for a farang?

[Bali Nine Aussies face execution next]

Good news. Hope it happens soon.

[Who has had post lost or stolen ?]

My grandma sent me a Christmas card once that didn't arrive.

[Which is the best method for a Myanmar lady to acquire a visa to USA?]

Just a wild stab in the dark…go to the US embassy?

[Study: Germans have skeptical view of Israel]

I'm more than skeptical of Israel and I ain't German.

[Autopsy detects no sign of an attack on British Koh Tao backpacker]

Death Island…more like Death Country.

[Lobby organization]

Would never work.

[Would you have lent the money?]

Something's weird about all this.

So many posters expressing that they wouldn't lend/give a fellow foreigner 100 Baht, yet so many come to Thailand, get involved with a woman they barely know, and within a matter of weeks are giving her a monthly stipend, paying all housing and food costs and supporting her offspring and parents.

Why so little love for the fellow foreigner?

Because the fellow foreigner doesn't put out like a girl of dubious morals.

[Would you have lent the money?]

No….wouldn't have lent it.

[That's the way they drive here !]

That motorcycle driver must be having a few changs and thanking buddha 2nite for sure.

[Im having pre-marriage jitters]

Don't do it.

[Tourists are reporting a dramatic surge in harassment by Thai police]

My sister visit me here in TH last year.

She dropped a cigarette at Sukhumvith road. The police see it and wanted 10000 Bath

My Thai wife talked them down to 1000 Bath

They must have been clean after that.

[How has Thai culture changed, and how is it changing?]

• Thais have their own living space, except the ones who are leeching from the farang. My father-in-law says, "My house is my house. Your house is your house"
• My GF loves that i am "keyneow" - why would she want me to blow all our savings???? The only ones who use that phrase in a bad way are the gold digging leeches.

Does your wife know that you have a GF?

[How has Thai culture changed, and how is it changing?]

When I left 8 years ago I had the feeling that Thais had generally changed in their attitude to foreigners, but not in a positive way.

[Tourists are reporting a dramatic surge in harassment by Thai police]

Glad I left years ago.

[Scam artists destroying image of Thai tourism]

In Singapore you can report over charging and action will be taken immediately. Contact numbers are publicly displayed .

Singapore protects the tourists.

Thailand has nothing but contempt for tourists, they think foreigners are fools who are easily ripped off and shouldnt complain but go home.

The karaoke bar incident and aftermath would never happen in Singapore. The owner could lose his/her business.

Nothing will change here. jet ski scams,gem stone scams,bar druggings, hotel druggings, unreported homicides,bar pick pockets,refusing to give customers their change( stupid gogo bars), taxi & songtaow rippoffs ,charging people to use the beach, police harrassment, fake cops or tasserkit extorting money out of tourists, insane prices for hotel food , fake consumer goods, total disregard for public safety exp footpaths which are falling to pieces in BKK, polluted beaches,.......the list is endless.

Illegal beer bars and gogo bars. Why hasnt PM/Gen Prayuth closed all those hooker kiosks? He's not serious. No Thais are.

Filthy soi dogs have more legal rights than foreigners and thats a fact. Kill a soi dog and see where you end up. A Thai kills a farang human.........who cares?

i work here and speak Thai but i would never have a holiday in this unhinged country.

Good rant
