  2. A happy ending to this theft. My lawyer found this individual and notified his boss of this transgression. Following this he refunded me in full plus interest.

  3. So we were having breakfast a few days back and in come these 2 American girls, good looking I guess, for white chicks. They were seated at the table touching ours and said hello etc…then they started… ‘…Thai guys keep hitting on me and staring at me, it makes me UN comfortable…” Could it be that when you bend over, I can see full tit,nipples included? Has she a clue..? Or is it her right to display her boobs and no one should look? They were staying up by KSR, had the big but empty back packs, down this way to check out the shopping and a tattoo shop because they want to get “traditional Buddhist tattoos called “SKY Yants or something” (their mispronounced and exact words)…” They were slightly annoyed that the wait staff at the restaurant did not fully understand English as fast as they spoke it “…you’d think they’d brush up a bit if they want tourist business …” Back to the tattoo shop, apparently, there is a shop on Soi 4 that does the sacred “SKY Yants.” I informed them there was a temple outside of Bangkok, Wat Bang Phra, maybe an hour or so by car that does them the true traditional way and maybe they should check it out if they want the real deal… they informed me that this shop has an “Ajarn (they pronounced the J hard)” I asked if they knew what an Ajarn was and they informed me “…it is a Buddhist holy man…” at this point my head was ready to explode… they informed me they had read up on this on instagram the internet etc…and had a bit of that 20+ year old “enlightened know it all” aire about them…it was clear they were “…intelligent independent strong women…” so yeah… Now You have to really appreciate these types, they travel thousands of miles to experience the real Tghailand and have a deep experience by hanging around an area known as a farang/backpacker ghetto, partying with other farang, going to a full moon party (these 2 had that planned as well) were asking for advise, but weren’t going to take it. They were going to have a deep spiritual experience by getting tattoos at 11pm in a tattoo shop located in a red light zone full of the types of people they resent/hate (they couldn’t stand “…all these miserable old men with girls half their age…” then in a few weeks, go back to the USA or UK or Where ever and wear their Elephant print pants telling everyone how connected they are to “the real Thailand…” Never liked these types, and the older I get the more I dislike them yet find them amusing…. All I can really say is “Damned kids..!” Or “…These kids today…” I must be getting old…

  4. Agree 100% I have 2 sons who I guarantee have relied on the internet for all their knowledge/information from the time they left school. The most dangerous types on the net IMO are the "Influences" whatever that is. And most of them are probably narcissists. I recently asked the younger one his thoughts on Andrew Tate. To my surprise he thought he was a great guy. I explained to him the guy was a misogynistic pig to which he expressed his disagreement. Moment of concern for me as a parent considering the way we brought him up. Zuckerberg is a despicable human being.

  5. It must be over 10 years since I have socialised around Farang tourist or KSR types, so I can’t comment on the current generation but it sounds like I have dodged the bullet on this one. The internet is supposed to make people more intelligent,,where as in fact in it has made people stupider. An idiot post an opinion online, someone buys it hook line and sinker and posts something even stupider and the downward spiral continues. And I can bet you a pound to a pinch of shit that they are not getting their info from travel websites and other knowledgeable places, oh no they go to the font of all knowledge Facebook, Instagram and Twitter claiming “it is true, I read it on the interweb thingy”

  6. I don’t think he would be that stupid. As I said previously he was the stooge / fall guy. Any drugs dealing hand will sacrifice the lower players in order to remain at liberty and continue in business. The heat was on, Police knew what was happening and wanted a name so they gave him the farang with enough drugs on him to make it look like a major bust for the police but not make a dent in the cartels business. Many international Smugglers are grassed up by the people they are carrying for. Load a fall guy up with say 1kg of Coke inform the airport they have a bust, meanwhile whilst customs are happy the real mule is strolling right through with 10kg of Coke

  7. Now we're getting somewhere. Sure Thais are fed up with misbehaving foreigners but on the other hand foreigners are also getting fed up with Thais and their continued scamming or down right extortion when it comes to the MIB

  8. There is the other side of the story coming out such as hy does the video only playing from a few moments in, what happened before. Allegedly, this is hearsay so don’t quote me on this, the cop pulled them over and demanded a cash fine (does happen A LOT) Brothers refuse, Cop pulls the gun on the Brothers waving it about screaming at them, one of Brothers uses his MMA experience to disarm the cop, they empty the gun and chamber of bullets and offer the gun back to cop. They are still dickheads mind, but I’ll be interesting to see if/when full video is released.

  9. Each generation is, I suppose, different, yet the same. Yes, we were “know it alls” but know it alls relative to certain limits. Many of us sought out the true places early on, and did maybe know a thing or 2 WHEN WE WERE FINISHED, and may have been a bit “twatish” about it at times. These kids just know, because they read something someone like them wrote on line. The “Spiritual tattoo experience” has apparently become so jacked up that Wat Ban Phra has now become a farang ink seeking KSR type of scene, so much so that Thais who really believe in this stuff cannot get in. Basically another thing ruined. One “old well known punter” had a good take on it, he basically said todays traveler is most likely a 1 time tourist, he or she will only be here once and will leave their mark, unknowingly, in a bad way. He, and others, maybe including myself, think the current crop of KSR douche bags are much worse than years back, they simply don’t really give a shit about what they claim to seek. They are here to party with other farang, hook up with other farangs, eat shitty over priced street food and banana pancakes thinking it is “real Thai food…” and just generally being annoying. I occasionally run into them at the temples in the San Francisco area, Berkeley being the worst, and they always, as Bust said, want to pontificate their knowledge, even going as far as to correct Thais about their own culture…127 style… A few years back, pre wife and covid, a group of us, the old board guard as it were, were out in our usual haunt on Soi Cowboy, in came a group of kids from KSR and proceeded to be douche bags, this group was mostly British. You could see 1-2 of the guys liked what they saw, the others maybe just hid it better, the girls in the group had real attitudes. Suadam (RIP) and I struck up a conversation with them when they started asking us all kinds of questions. One of the girls had the audacity to ask “…how can you exploit these poor girls like this..?” I asked “do you want to fuck? “ she of course said no (obviously a lesbo) so I said “…Jeab, you’re up honey…” and left. Suadfam continued to annoy them a bit more…

  10. So we, Mrs. Hippie and I were walking down the street yesterday and in the general area between Soi 7 and 7/1, some girl, who I may or may not know/have known long ago, perks up smiles and starts towards us, I shook my head and waived her off with my hand. Mrs. Hippie noticed the girl’s actions and asked if I knew her I said “…no, don’t think so…” she said “…maybe you know her from before..?” I said “…maybe, but I don’t recognize met, maybe she’s just looking for a customer…who knows?” That was the end of it. But seriously, it was obvious I was with my wife or another woman, so why make trouble, just be quiet and move along, no need to spark attention…serious lack of professionalism with these girls these days…

  11. He's a Narcissistic Megalomaniac who see himself grandiosely and in a state of impunity. He'd fit right in to a Sovereign State 😃 You could probably also include him in The Dark Triad category

  15. He was obviously the stooge / fall guy for the Koh Tao mafia, he had been on the island / under observation for five months according to the article. Where was he getting his supplies from? How did he stay so long on no doubt a tourist visa, they don’t issue Business Visas for drug dealing. My comment about “Extra from Deliverance” was implying he looked like the elevator doesn’t go to the top floor / a tinnie short of a six pack. A simple gullible bloke who was being paid beer money to extend his stay. There is no way a foreigner would be able to deal drugs on Koh Tao for 5 months without the mafia knowing, I doubt even a Thai would get away with such.

  16. Poor Things [2023] The incredible tale about the fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. Loosely based on a 90's book set in Glasgow, this is re-imagined elsewhere in a breathtaking visual production, steampunk retro, anarchic, emotional, funny, one of the year's most original and memorable movies from a director known for the bizarre.

  17. The Buddhist monk protesting in South Vietnam was pretty memorable. Most likely because a press photographer captured it. If my memory serves me correct is was an award winning photograph.

  20. Hugh Hoy, Get in touch sometime. Why don't you write a short travel report? A few pictures, a few short explanations, that would be nice.

  21. I too am in my 8th decade of life. I want to come again - despite significant problems with my high blood pressure and problems with the cardiovascular system. From about mid-November 2022 to the end of March 2023; about 130 days. I can also die in Thailand; that might be better than in cold, dark wintry Germany. My body will be cremated, the ashes will go into an urn and my family can collect the urn and then a burial can take place at a cemetery here in Hamburg. 55555 I plan to spend the first few days after my arrival in Jomtiem in Soi Welcome with two of my Thai friends.

  22. I'm getting damned close to that myself, though I'm thinking of demanding a recount. The nice thing is not having to work for a living anymore . Social Security and Veterans Disability payments provide me with more each month than I often made when I was a university lecturer!
