then why the fxck did you come to thailand.

...beat me to it! everyone knows you don't get success in Thailand by being open and honest... especially "no matter what"... and by the way, what was he doing BEFORE his adult life? and was that in Australia or Scaramento?!

Luigi look, apparently you need to be a liar and a cheat to want to live in Thailand, it goes with the territory.

^ When in Thai.........



Make sure to pay.

Eliminator , HEY SNAKE, are you behind this guy and asking people here to help this IDIOT? quote

So… Here I am. Asking for any little help my incredible group of friends can offer me. I don’t have much to offer in return....

i feel his pain

I suppose he'll change his name and open a backpackers' hostel somewhere in Cambo or Burma now he's blown it in Thailand.

Or try and make it as a DJ in Pai.

It must be awful to be in the monkey house and to be Australian. Either one would upset me deeply.

will he need to hire new workers?

Next thing is he will be arrested again. This time for saying that he has paid bribes.

^Yep. But he'll be able to buy his way out of that.

It could be worse cobber. Could be a soap dodger and banged up in a monkey house.

I tried helping out but my card was declined

Invest in a clusterfuck of a country like Toyland at your peril (especially a business in the public eye like that one)...

I kept my skin care business low-key/under the radar... made sure I had all the paperwork in order for my cosmetics... every ingredient in my products must be sent for testing/safety approval.

my mates in Korat had various businesses... I won't mention names... they owned bars, car rental businesses, real estate businesses, etc.. they all had to have paid protection from the filth... sometimes things went south..

Oh, to run a business and semi-retire in Thailand.. live the dream... but it can quickly turn into a nightmare..

I guess it's safe to say he passed on the "extractor teams" idea huh?

But it's sad to see that Teakdoors CSI dectectives have gone from eagled eyed sleuths to Mr Magoo; standards have fallen so low that no one spotted it.

Typical TeakDoor crime scene investigator 2016


Loren titled his piece:
''locked up abroad.. ''
which is the American dull name for the British series with the wonderful slang title:
'' Banged up abroad.''

No problem investing in Thailand, if you are legal, this dealing with locals is not legal.

Just like car accidents, farang pays, until you call your number one insurance company. then they go away.

Been through it, have an SME company, chancers, but as soon as they realize it's a BKK registered they are gone.

Not a local cop, government matter, DSI thing;
and no one wants DSI involvement
