  1. They could have worded it differently. 'Unwanted pets' sounds terrible. But 'Pets due to be euthanised anyway' is something very different. In any case, anyone who just decides they don't want a pet shouldn't have one in the first place, and anyone who truly loves theirs wouldn't donate it for this. Why can't the Danish authorities just use unwanted/illegal immigrants instead. And if they run out of them, the UK can offer a fresh and steady supply.
  2. If this was in a developed country, this would be headline news for at least 24 hours. But sadly here in LOS it's just another crash. After spending more than half of my life here in Thailand and adapting to weather, language, climate, food, & culture I will NEVER EVER accept the roads, its users, the signs and planning, the (lack of) policing, and general attitude. So sad for these poor kids and their families.... and it'll be forgotten by lunchtime by the rest!
  3. I'm not sure that this can be credited with any investigative journalism. The Daily Fail and whatever else this other rag is are almost certainly going to add 2+2 and end up with a dozen (ladyboys) of fiction and unsubstatiated gossip and hearsay. Don't get me wrong, what he has actually done is probably not becoming of a person in his position, and he may have likely enjoyed Thailand the way many men do... but this is just begging for some creative writing.
  4. For me it's more than half of my life in Bangkok!!'🙃🧐🫣
  5. Well, I was going to mention that at the bottom, but you saved me the need to scroll. #spoton!
  6. Very sad. I would say it's a combination of.. - stupidly-designed roads that allow u-turns, especially for trucks - high speed and lack of awareness by the rider, but we have no evidence of this - poor lighting (looks like at night) We have no idea if the truck indicated or not, but even if he did everything right, a bike going straight on at a speed high enough to be fatal is often going much faster than a turning truck RIP fellow biker
  7. It's all set up with the Cambodian thing and this so that we can have another coup!
  8. Very difficult to have a policy or anything in cases like this. How can anyone judge if a person is drunk enough to need help or be detained or anything else.
  9. Our local immigration office isn't far from home and every time I enter Thailand I send my wife to to TM.30 and encourage her to ask them to help her set up the app. She once had it on her old phone. The website for this feature is was than dire. She called them today and seems to think that they have told her that with TDAC (and me completing it) there's no need for TM.30 but will be a need for 90-days if I stay that long. Is anyone else doing TM.30s these days now we have TDAC? BTW I have a DTV. As I write this, she's on the phone to them again.... and apparently there's no need because it's the same house.
  10. I though all Yanks claimed to be 'ex military'.
  11. Can a town make an impose a law? Surely this would have to go through government?
  12. I'm jealous that some members saw the clip, but I can't. Any links to it?
  13. While I agree with you that strong punishments are required, police in any civilised country are not also judge, jury and prison officer. It's not any police officer's job to hand out a punishment on the spot.
  14. No. Attention-seeking doctors and greedy drug companies will 'shape the next phase of this sham'
  15. So why is this news and why give it a new name?
