None reported in thailand? That’s because there is a cultural prohibition to do so…the system not set up to support women He’s in a candy store in thailand…

You do know multiple Thai Agro businesses contract with farming groups in those countries to grow feedstock products (corn) and then sell to china…

Enough blaming the Falang for getting her pregnant and not waiting to see if she is a precessional fast track executive type… yes, he was stupid but she is committing criminal acts… the courts should intervene w/o the need for him to physically come over…it’s called child services until legally sorted out

You don’t use partying as a metric to rank beaches…. pattaya doesn’t even have fine white sand and zero scenic views… this criteria discredits this specific ranking

What weed brand are you smoking?

Maybe she should have put it all into an envelope and then signed over the sealed envelope for added protection was she really smart enough to accumulate a million dollars?

There is a difference between Thais and Thai’s….

“The boat lost control…” Thank God I was worried that pundits would blame it on crew incompetency or equipment failure

Vultures fly! I wonder if the Thai gov or lawyers get involved to reduce the amount of monies to the maid…. the smartest thing the maid could do is to hire an honest lawyer to walk her thru the process and protect her now assets it is also sad the French lady had no close friends/family nearby or afar…. this suicide was preventable…yes, the maid was loyal and close by but was she someone who the French lady could talk with about issues? It doesn’t sound like it… it started with and ended with a superior to inferior role….the French lady made all the decisions and plans by herself…the maid was taken care b/c the French lady had no one to confide in and talk with at her level… movie making materiel….rosebud - hint hint

Will the police take them to re-enact the crime? Will onlookers I mean gawkers throw tomatoes?

Pathetic way to make money….an extremely vulnerable victim….punishment is never servere enough to deter so gov partly to blame

A proper transaction is to leave the bill in the open as the seller gets the change vs taking and hiding the bill out of sight....This is on the tuk tuk driver especially if it was only a 100B bill...You explicitly show the buyer what was given vs the set/owed price So the tuk tuk driver is either very stupid or it was a scam job (if the driver did not show immediately the 100B bill as insufficient payment towards the 400B bill... Why would the driver hide a 100B bill? he would be the one who is upset vs hiding immediately a 1000B and then saying it was only 100B (you leave the 100B bill in clear view)...either way, money was still owed to someone whether change or insufficient amount...You don't make the bill disappear when the transaction is still open Sorry folks, but it sounds like a scam job...

Two issues….was it a scanned job? And 2nd the tourist should never physical touch the seller….

My advice to the police is not to make assumptions…if it is too perfect of an expected outcome, then was it staged?

Another non story that if it involves a foreigner doing something wrong, lets highlight it.. this story is just fishing and has no idea who is responsible for what xenophibia at its best and the this public loves hearing about it….more like a napoleon inferiority complex in the works …takes pressure off on reporting drivers killing traffic cops

To the very end, Thais always trying to save face even for guilty parties he died b/c blunt force trauma due to being hit by a drunk driver But let’s make a bigger deal of a guy kicking someone in the back or a guy getting his car stuck in the sand… if a Thai is involved, the issue is downplayed…and not dealt with properly…so like driving, burning, garbage, alcoholism, domestic violence, and a host of other issues, never the focus on preventing or improving

Just shooting them like a running elk to avoid damaging nature

Thailand still has a problem learning how to prioritize important issues from non issues I smell entrapment

Here is your problem with your thinking…so instead of 225, it is 150 AP…instead of 30 minutes vs 20 minutes sitting in traffic… it has not improved to an acceptable level for an expat or tourist even if trends has improved…A person doesn’t say “oh it’s better now than 2 decades ago”…here and now bad is bad or bad vs real bad…bad is not tolerated anymore with more options than ever before

Staff should not be liable for runners…are establishments going to cover legal fees if the staff takes violence in stopping runners? don’t shift the blame to poor staff for things beyond their control…you are the ones with deeper pockets and defend staff not abuse them

Are we allowed to munch on bananas in public?

Hope the villagers quickly put on their covid masks….🙄

Maybe Thais speaking broken english to throw them off their scent… staff became quickly distracted…what their mobile went off?

This does not solve the tailgating issue that happens in thailand if one doesn’t understand the concept of safe breaking distance

I think you mean daily average
