If I had a nickel for all the assumptions I hear on this forum I could run against Trump in the next election. He may have been driving straight, at a normal speed, and the woman could have walked across the road without looking, which I see daily here all the years I've lived here. The only evidence that could judge this is CCTV. They're quick to decide against foreigners regarding traffic incidents here, which is prejudiced thinking before any evidence is there.

A lively debate where everyone left more confused than when they arrived no doubt.

They will have to be knocking on my door before i fill out any of there BS

Sorry where does it say the rider was "acting an idiot" ?

French Mafia?? don't they mean Arabs from France!!

No outrage among Thai residents. I've lived here 20 years and see Thais urinating on the verge of (busy) roads every single day.

Obviously, all of British heritage with known & trusted family names ............LOL

Sorry, but I think that there is rather more to this than meets the eye!

What do you expect.....where are the public toilets?

Yeah, because it's always a good thing to connect to a public WIFI in a foreign country. Then its a really good idea to start plugging personal data over that WIFI into an online form run by a foreign country that I wouldn't trust to run a lemonade stand.

Good, good... but where's the part of lowering the pollution levels by tackling its sources?

Sounds a little harsh for a few days overstay. Maybe the old squeeze has contacts in the BIB and contrived to do him in.

Sounds like yet another sales pitch from "American International Tax Advisers".

Shoulda been arrested for that haircut alone 😀

Mr. Mathias is a crazy self-entitled lunatic that needs to be arrested, fined, hopefully jailed and when time served, deported as a persona non grata.

Probably in the minority, but IMHO, that's exactly how prison should be. Punishment, not the comfy stay like in the USA.

My money is on a newly minted Brit.

Ridiculous comment. Try commenting on the topic rather than your usual anti-Trump emotive nonsense.

" Pattaya's already overstretched law enforcement."

Unconfirmed reports say all the Chinese passengers ran to one side of the catamaran when the buffet was served.

I believe that to be the right approach.

I am French and grew up with them. Then I lived in Phuket for a year and ended up moving because of them. They are worse in France because they know they can get away with anything. But they are definitely becoming confident in Thailand, it's time they were taught a lesson by the authorities IMO.

These punks got no decency. Could've been marijuana? Deport immediately and 1 year ban. Thailand does not need these kind of idiotes.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

At a presser Tuesday, 7 January, at Mar-a-Lago, the President-elect said he would not rule out military force to take Greenland and the Panama Canal. Your hero, right, MAGAs? Oh, and he threatened economic force to annex Canada, plus he wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. It's 1700 again; do you know where your Colonial Master is? (Plenty of videos of his presser, for those who want to see their hero pretend he's a warrior.)

How'd you know he was acting like an idiot?

What a goon. Such insincerity. Crack down on the refiners who accept burnt sugar. No? They are too rich, and they are all your friends? Exposed again with your callous lies? Real men act. Small men yak, yak and make proclamations and then never do anything about them. That is just who you are.

Not one single action deals with the problem....only the symptoms.....hopeless.

Tainted my arse, she got wasted on a bucket not realising how strong they were

maybe he should be cremated in Thailand and have his ashes scattered where he was living out his dream ?

Given all the questions surrounding this incident, entirely possible his grieving family will be reading this thread. Hateful posts/posts with unfounded speculation have therefore been removed. Please show some respect.

It can be said without a doubt nazism is back. https://www.wired.com/story/neo-nazis-love-elon-musk-nazi-like-salutes-trumps-inauguration/ So yes, the golden age for the USA has started if you like Nazis.

Why is a monk in possession of a car? Does not seem to accord with the vow of poverty. Pit bulls and similar breeds are inherently bred for aggression and territorial defence, and need to be properly trained and controlled, or preferably not bred at all. Unlike GSDs, terriers, labradors, retrievers and Malinois, they serve no useful purpose. Thailand has too many stray and uncontrolled dogs already without allowing these vanity breeds. Time to ban them as so many other countries have already done.

Yes. They should deport these scumbags.

… fippin ek…. This has the be the biggest load of bovine-muck I’ve read…. “Thai laws seem only to apply to Thai people”….. I’d argue a polar opposite - just look at any check-point in Phuket & Pattaya !!!…. & isn’t there a common conception that when a Thai breaks a law it’s a 500 baht fine & a Wai whereas a foreigner gets the book thrown at him or it costs him dearly - equal treatment is certainly a distant reality. The people who have made the comments quoted seem to suffer from overwhelming hypocrisy masked by a severe case of pulling the wool over their own eyes…..

Strange how the descendants of 1945 are treating the Palestinians at this very moment. A sitting Prime Minister has an international warrant for war crimes, yet, just like in 1945, governments / people sit back and do nothing. UN stands for "Useless Numpty's." Over 45 thousand dead, mostly women and children, in an area 40kms x 20kms. The Gaza Strip is nothing more than a kill zone. There's no hope for humanity. We will always repeat the past.

Sad...BUT no helmet and no travel insurance, so really no sympathy....why do people come to for holidays in Thailand without some type of insurance.. baffling. Also not wearing a helmut is plain stupid.

If we did that with illegal immigrants in the UK, no one would want to come.

In all my years here, and a frequent visitor to 7-11 I have never known them NOT give a receipt complete with change on top of it. YMMV

That is a smart move from Trump. Lots of people will concentrate on those old records and ignore everything else. I hope some people will pay attention what Trump will do when he thinks nobody is watching.

Or perhaps they see that the locals tend not to follow them, so assume they can do the same... 🤔

Thailand's efforts to enhance the visitor experience and bolster tourist tracking for safety, amid ongoing concerns about the country serving as a conduit for illicit activities. Has anyone here had their travel experience enhanced by the TM6? Has anyone here felt safer because of the TM6? Has anyone here enjoyed being tracked? Does anyone here think the TM6 has stopped so much as one illicit activitie?

The news is very positive, everyone is standing to applaud everything Trump says, people are standing up and fighting back against woke fascism. Does anyone else feel like it's just a really positive time right now? Like we're emerging from some sort of dark time in history?

North African morons not French. They like big scooters but can't ride, strange for them after a camel.

You buy a new car or new phone every six months, to get so upset? Take a Valium before you go shopping. No, I don't want to feel you.

Not just #1 in the whinging department:

In January 1945, with the Soviet army approaching, Nazi officials ordered the camp abandoned and sent an estimated 60,000 prisoners on a forced march to other locations. When the Soviets entered Auschwitz, they found thousands of emaciated detainees and piles of corpses left behind. And even today, the Germans are still ashamed of what they did to people. Yes, they were people just like them. And now they treat their prisoners in a humane way. Afraid that anyone would remind them of these events. "Do not do to others what you would not want done to you” is a fundamental principle of fairness and empathy known as the Golden Rule. It means that you should treat others with the same kindness and respect that you would like to be treated with." Also the same way to define 'being civilized'. If anyone here would agree to see his son or daughter treated the way this guy was treated, for a fault that would not even make eyebrows raise, well that would mean that this person disagrees with Confucius, and would celebrate this life lesson taught to one of his children. Shame on you....

There's yer problem!

Just a quick note for people who don't read a lot, probably too busy or something. Trump is not 'far right'. He is moderate by any sense of the word.

Please show where it says he was "driving like a lunatic" ?
