It’s how thailand works…w/o enforcement some Thais are more crooked than others…some just prey on naive tourists pushing the envelope to the highest fare and they find suckers others are more reasonable in their fares but it’s a crap shoot and one is lucky or unlucky on whom they meet -

Richard Burrows, Phuket's 'Peter Smith', faces 30 more charges
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
You guys are completely missing the point…he’s been free for the last 30 years in thailand - the land of pedi… He is 80 now sohe will have the comforts of computers and TV in jail…healthcare, food and shelter what is disgraceful is UK and thailand could not work together to apprehend him during a 30 year period repeat 30 year period…hard to believe allowing him 30 years of freedom in thailand w/o accountability - failure of 2 governments additional 30 charges (who cares?) is like the US making a big deal of one small gun control success when semi auto weapons are owned/carried freely (and bump stocks now allowed) -

British Couple Arrested for Running Xanax Scam in Thailand
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What has thailand have to do with it other than this is where they were residing? I guess this business operation was happening right under their noses and knew nothing about it this legal case is being handled in the west…the biggest question is how thailand handle extraditing them back to England to stand trail? Don’t they have to be found guilty first in a court of law silly for thailand to get involved legally…wash their hands of them as quickly as possible would be their best strategy -

Traffic police crack down on dangerous tourist habits on Koh Larn
cardinalblue replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
So now the cops are enforcing helmet wearing and driver license ownership this begs the question - what were they doing before? history is a great predictor - they will do it for a month and then return to their standard practice of do nothing what you get in a status quo traditional lazy society where minimal effort is expected and on display it is why standards are so low in thailand and never show signs of incremental improvement bring on the air pollution season….i have nice itinerary scheduled -
If there is a structure in place for public hospitals, why not expand it to include private sector and have it funded by the private hospitals and set up as a separate entity? What you are describing is an industry w/o checks and balances thus hide/cover up mistakes and errors…but more importantly, never learns from errors to prevent future mistakes…bottom line….should/must be held independently accountable by a third party…self policing doesn’t work effectively for health, safety, environment, food, pharmaceutical, domestic animal/wildlife and nuclear to just name a few…

Medical malpractice is determined by doctors and lawyers not by patients, family or people with an opinion there are 4 parties involved…the patient and their medical legal lawyer/firm, the attending hospital/medical staff , the second or follow up hospital/medical staff and finally regulatory body in thailand that is responsible for investigating and monitoring bad outcomes and procedures when in question…participant 4 can also dole out penalties like removing licenses and privileges etc…civil and criminal penalties will be handled by the court system if the case is brought to court by the number 2 party I don’t know how thailand works but you need to play the game and follow proper protocol in whatever system is in place…don’t expect it to be like the west where one has more transparency and more checks and balances in place (that’s my assumption based on working in a western system where lawsuits are frequent and court cases/settlements are abundant best thing to do is to hire the best medical legal firm and do your homework…let them handle the whole process..and you can be an active participant by monitoring their behavior professionally, medically and legally via a 2nd law firm if need be…be sure any law firm one hires has medical expertise on staff or via contract… culture leads to differences and how things are processed/done so patience on your part will be greatly needed along with your determination if one (you and law firm) feels a wrong has been committed

Thai gov is so incompetent…because they can’t figure out how to get the economy rolling, they pick low hanging fruit like retired expats who are bringing in money to spend repeat spend not to horde… Why in the hell do you want to tax a group who in turn is putting the money into the economy? ir makes zero sense…it’s like the bar scene when having low volume of customers raise drink prices rather than offer discounts to attract more customers Mind boggling….
