    So you would prefer posters just replying "No" or ignoring the thread???

     

    I have learnt something from it as maybe others have too...

    Take it as a joke. Even I was happy to learn how to make cole slaw. ?

  2. Wow, someone starts a topic, where to buy cole slaw. It comes down to 'how to make cole slaw. If that is not enough, now it's how to make your own mayo..........?

     

     

    Next...... 'how to grow organic cabbage'

    Yes, that's a good way to look at it.  Even though "10 years in jail" is probably "scare mongering", I'd hate to be the one they choose to make an example of.  Thanks for the advice.  Now I really have a reason to quit smoking, cold turkey ?

    I hope you do know E Cig's are widely available in the country.

    I'm invited for a wedding too... he is from the UK, she is Thai.

     

    Both of their parents are VERY wealthy, the ceremony and party is in a 5* resort... How much is appropriate in such situation?

    The money given should be at least a little bit more than they are spending on you, by inviting you. Roughly a 5 star resort would be THB 2500 per person. Also because the party is in 5 star, they would also be serving expensive liquor. Do the math mate.....

    I bought my 'Kukar' sunglasses at a shoe store in Nong Khai (shop sells other stuff too; lottery tickets and fishing tackle etc,,) Paid a lot more than 29 baht. But they are still going strong after 5 years. Still look the bizzo.

     

    ps. Gold plating is peeling off on the right arm.

    Errmmm, what is 'Kukar' BTW?

  6. Very probable that he is working illegally.

    Also as a side note, this case kind of proves to an extent that the person who has more 'power' in a particular position does behave like a bully. Be it an expat or a Thai. In this particular case it's an expat vs a tourist.

  7. If per the article he is truly a Thai citizen, as it appears he states then they cannot deport him, and if they do it is a violation of international human rights......PTP democracy in action again it seems

    If his birth certificate states he was born out side of Thailand and he has never bothered to be granted Thai citizenship, Surprise he is a Farang, and has no right to become involved in a violent political conflict and defy the laws of your host country!

    That my friend is the law of the Thai nation, for all of us Farangs and if we do not want to be kicked out of the country we best abide by the law, which he failed to do! I hope he closes the door on the way out!

    Cheers

    He is not a farang, he is from India

    The so called correct term would be kaek

  8. Sad. There was a big article on him in the Bangkok Post a few days back where it talked about how his family came to Thailand, how they built up the businesses, he became a respected member of the community, did good works for charity etc. If this was America everyone would say that he is representative of what makes America great, he is the living embodiment of The American Dream, proof that anyone can make it there through hard work and dedication. Sadly this is Thailand and there is no democracy here, only Taksinocracy that says dissenters must be punished. By the sounds of it he is a real stand up guy and his only 'crime' is taking a stand against a corrupt government made up of criminals and gangsters, he did the right thing and he will suffer for it. This is a sad day for Thailand.

    I couldn't agree more. His only crime is being a person of integrity who saw the tyranny in his adopted homeland go beyond tolerable and decided to take a stand.

    This is pure vindictive harassment and intimidation and reflects on the immature and bullying nature of those behind what Thai's call "slaughter the chicken for the monkey to see" or roughly translated as "since he's a high profile non-citizen we'll make an example of him to foreigners to stay out of our business".

    I smell Chalerm and Surapong behind this.

    We are foreigners in this country. Person on integrity? Let him fix India (his own country) first before he want to judge Thailand. Between India and Thailand I prefer Thailand first. Bangkok might be a mess now but thanks god Thailand is not only made of Bangkok as it only has a population of around 10% of Thailand so we still have 90% that live outside of Bangkok. Bangkok is peanut for the Kingdom of Thailand.

    Errmm, is this thread about your preferences of countries Sir? Please try to stick to the topic.
