That sounds traceable...

“In addition, last week, an editor of a newspaper in Phuket was shot to death because he criticised publicly certain things he did not agree with. I hope you understand our situation. Publicising the deeds on your husband will , unfortunately, not reverse the brutal attack.”

She should have asked him with a gun pressed against his temple.

There's a strange thread of decisions by this guy... selling up and emigrating to Thailand without a Thai spouse to drag him there, and evidently selling up a 6-figure sum of property to go there ...hiring untested locals to do a job he's apparently experienced enough to do himself, and probably better (or to western standards) ...not supervising the job, day by day ...then complicating the payment, perhaps not pre-agreeing anything in detail, belies a lack of knowledge of the risks and the way things happen in the country... I make a crap Columbo, but it seems like he didn't research his move to Thailand, and moved a bit hastily, and expected things to work like in a developed country.

Perhaps the lesson is, if you hire Thai contractors and they do a shit job, shoot them, and dispose of the bodies discretely over the border or in the sea.

I'm thinking of writing a book called "How to survive in the third world".

Full of life/money saving advice.

I suggest you all buy it.

Isnt it.

Wouldn't it be more practical to pen the title, How To Survive in the First World...??

Some might suggest there isn't much difference from first to third today...
Imaginary and manufactured class systems.
Easily bought by the mutant masses....of all thought processes.

Fashion.
Nothing else.

In that one video about that property scammer, Richard Horton, I found myself thinking, and smiling...

And I hope he reads this...

"When you are alone, on your deathbed, waiting to go into the great beyond, you will be very seriously considering the summary of your deceitful life, and wondering, with trepidation, what demons await you on the other side..."

**donald36** · 17-04-2012, 10:18 AM

This is really really sad --he with his English wife thought this was just like back home-good weather ,much cheaper,do what you want,- -its difficult with a Thai wife managing things but when you are both foreigners its not the place to be -its not Surrey with sunshine here, disputes do not end up with lawyers they are settled Thai style with guns and fists or anything else, --if you get the wrong guys working for you ,smile politely, get rid of them and pay them up to date,they will not allow a foreigner and particularly a foreign couple to get the better of them ,just as an aside its better and cheaper to be cheated by thais --its the foreigners pretending to be your friends that you really want to look out for ,they will take you for a lot of money

Good post, Donald...particularly this bit:

That is the way Thai people do it.

^ & then, several months later when they have forgotten you, deal with the fukers...

I'm feeling quite aggressive today, I hope I don't get too lippy with the missus, or else she likely give me a sound thrashing...

Now, death here, by violence, is just so standard. I spoke to the missus the other day, which I prefer not to do usually..., and she told me about a relative who might pop wound. I remember this very distant unliked woman, not family actually..., as having a policeman boyfriend and told the missus not to let them come round. Anyways, the missus says she's not up to dodgy business anymore and has paid back the monies she stole from people, since she got the 5 million. What 5 million says I. She says, the one from her dad's land after he died. Why did he die says I. Oh, he got drunk and upset somebody who beat him to death. Oh, says I. Who. They don't know... Standard, non-special, total usual story for this extremely violent and fuked up place...

I might draw a caveat as to extremely violent places and cultures...

Canvey man is now conscious but in a persistent vegetative state

11:10am Monday 18th June 2012 in News

Before - Paul Ayling in good health

After - the Canvey man in hospital following the attack

THE family of a Canvey man who was left in a coma after being brutally attacked in Thailand has been told he may never lead a normal life again.

Paul Ayling, 47, was hit over the head with a lump of wood by one of two men who jumped him in Hua Hin, Thailand, on November 21 last year.

The attack left Mr Ayling, who lived on Canvey for more than 30 years, with severe brain damage and sent him into a five- month coma.

Although now conscious, doctors have declared Mr Ayling as being in a persistent vegetative state, after three months of neurological tests. This means although he is awake, Mr Ayling is unaware of anything going on around him.

Specialists at Harrow’s Northwick Park Hospital also believe he could be both blind and deaf.

The heartbreaking news has devastated family members who had hoped Paul could one day return to a normal life.

His brother Tony, 51, who lives in Yorkshire, said: “It is not what we were hoping for at all.

“Our hopes of him coming out of the coma and leading as normal a life as possible have lessened.

“We just don’t know how much of the Paul we know is still in there.”

If his situation stays the same for more than 12 months, Mr Ayling would then be classified as being in a permanent vegetative state, meaning it is impossible by any informed medical expectations that his mental condition would ever improve.

Tony said: “Basically his body is just doing enough to keep itself alive.

“His eyes are open, but it doesn’t appear that he is aware of anything. I don’t really know what is worse, him being in a coma, or in this vegetative state.

“We are just hoping he comes out of this soon.

“You do hear of medical cases where people recover.”

Mr Ayling only emigrated to Thailand with his wife Justine and nine-year-old son Scott last year.

He endured three operations in Thailand, which reduced swelling on his brain and removed blood clots. Mr Ayling was then flown back to Britain and treated in Southend Hospital, in March, before he was transferred to Northwick Park, in April.

Tony added: “We are now hoping to get him moved to a care home in Essex, so that he can be closer to his wife and son and well looked after.”

Family members have become increasingly frustrated with Thailand’s police investigation into the attack on Mr Ayling and are battling to secure justice for him.

His attacker has never been found. Anyone who might be able to help is asked to e-mail [email protected]

Most Thais are far more racist than others in the Land of Smiles. I live here protected from Soi Dogs by Hi-So. I KNOW the facts.

**Seekingasylum** · 18-06-2012, 10:55 PM

Asians are just another form of heathen, bereft of the empathy that one usually associates with civilised societies. Just because they look nice, smile a lot and don't smell too much doesn't mean they are not just a bunch of thieving, hypocritical, money grubbing, thuggish, lying tow rags only fit for servitude.

**Seekingasylum** · 19-06-2012, 01:41 AM

I wouldn't fight you to the death on the etymology of the term but by inclination I would tend towards the old naval expression coming first followed by the later Victorian derivative meaning something else or perhaps a simple misspelling. I have seen it sourced as an anglicisation of Touareg but I think that is quite apocryphal, not least because our empire didn't have much to do with those johnnies.

**SiLeakHunt** · 19-06-2012, 02:32 AM

The fact that he's got a farang wife makes me think he's been to Thailand once or twice and decided it's cheap and liveable and jumped straight away, whereas the likes of us on here have spent years cavorting with the locals in bars and know a lot better than to stir up a hornets nest..

cheers

**dobella** · 19-06-2012, 09:17 PM

There must have been more to it than £400, did he persistently fuck off the guys he owed money too or and was he warned a few times ?
I know Thais are extremely violent and get the red flash quick but wonder why it ended like this, for such a small amount even by Thai standards.
We all have to play the cards dealt to us and it seems he played his poorly sadly.

**Tom Sawyer** · 19-06-2012, 09:45 PM

Wasn't this the guy who was a builder and had a dispute with other builders he contracted to do his kitchen or similar? Wouldn't pay the bill. Came home got out of the vehicle in broad daylight and got whacked by these guys?

Yap, and now he is a vegetable. Poor sod.

**taxexile** · 19-06-2012, 10:57 PM

He was in dispute with them over the bill, he claimed the work was shoddy and unfinished and witheld some of the payment until the job was finished off properly.

I think he was warned by e mail, in perfect english too, that he should pay up or face the consequences. Shortly afterwards he was clubbed on the head with a two by four by two thais who jumped out of the roadside bushes as he rode home on his motorcycle, his wife was riding pillion.

Sad story, obviously the police must know who ordered the attack, but as usual they cant be arsed to do much about it.

It all boils down to a clash between cultures.

Canvey island aggressive cockney bluster versus thai sense of greedy couldnt give a fuck entitlement.

It was bound to end in tears.
