Khao San Road in a Frenzy as Authorities Crack Down on Laughing Gas
2long replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
What does 'the far end of Khao Sarn Road' mean? I guess we know which end they're viewing from. -
British Man Arrested in Thailand for Posing as Tour Guide
2long replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
"which converts to about 70,121.91 Baht." Why use the word 'about' if you state every satang? -
I often go to AL LA CARTE sushi buffets, which means you pay a fixed price, but order food that's made for you. Sadly, the deals are so good, that businesses go bust! Okami have gone bust and my local Tenjo branch has just closed. Today I went to Tensai at Paseo. 923B for 2 hours of great food and FREE FLOW BEER!

Lampang Woman Kills Husband Over Affairs With 5 Women
2long replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
How is her waiting for the police 'an unexpected twist'? I quite often read news articles where the culprit doesn't run off. -
Tourists behaving badly told to smarten up or stay home!
2long replied to Shmo's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
While I fully understand that there are some a-holes who travel for tourism, but get drunk, expect too much, or just behave badly, we need to remember that some of these destinations rely totally on tourism. Therefore, things like anti-tourist rallies, and the like need to be taken into context. If these places had no tourism, the people would have no money. They cant have their cake and eat it. It's not dissimilar from celebs and sports stars asking for privacy, while keeping the benefits of a luxury lifestyle. -
Bleak reefs: Coral bleaching hits Mooh Koh Surin & Phi Phi Island
2long replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Divers and snorkellers have no effect at all on reefs with regard to the bleaching! Yes, clumsy or uncaring humans can damage reefs, but we don't contribute (directly) to the bleaching! -
A long (possibly AI-written) article that I read less than 10% of. Therefore I didn't see any paragraphs that mentioned 'looking after the local businesses, such as Ma & Pa shops, who mostly only take cash. I'm not a conspiracy theorist who worries about total control, however some transactions are better dealt without the tax man seeing. But my main point is, let's look after local family-run businesses as much as we can!

Pregnant Woman Alleges Sexual Assault by Thai Doctor

If this is her first pregnancy, then she could be wrong and the doctor's just doing his job. -
British Man Arrested in Bangkok Over Defamation Claims by Phuket Restaurant
2long replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Before we all jump on this, do we know who's in the right or wrong in the first instance? I'm not talking about reviews or police. I'm on about the disagreement. In any case, Alexander should have only left one review... he's a silly boy! -
Two motorbike riders killed as loaded pick-up truck crosses road divider
2long replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
When the 'mishap' took place! What appears to be a husband and wife are both dead and the word 'mishap' is used! 10 passengers in the back of a pick up, wet roads, and we all know what that hill's like! -

Oh WOW there really are some bickering refuse-to-be-wrong old women on this thread, aren't there? Does it really matter if he was doing 100kmh or 200kmh? The poor chap is dead. Does it really matter if the Fortuner was behaving illegally or not? The poor rider is dead. We can all see the damage shows that the bike hit the Fortuner at high speed, and apparently in the left-hand lane or hard shoulder. This is not the lane for passing slower traffic, especially at high speed. RIP Mr XMax, and let's hope that this will be a lesson to save others' lives in the future. It certainly won't be a lesson to some posters who refuse to give in and have to quote each other and argue like children.

How can they possibly know he was travelling at 160? Even if the (digital) speedo was showing that, it could be for any reason. I'm confident that this figure was created from assumption due to the damage. And if the guy's front tyre had as much tread as its rear, there's no hope!

I'm not the sharpest tool in the box, and it's early Monday morning but what does "Before her death, she had shrewdly disabled the CCTV to record her final moments." mean? Because DISabling CCTV would have the opposite effect, plus who's to know SHE was the one tampering it?

I sort of knew that, and worded my heading accordingly. Solly!

I recently bought an electrical product from a leading retailer, for a price of less than 1,000B. When I got it home, it was faulty, but I can't find the receipt. I have now gone back to another branch and bought the same item again, and of course kept the receipt. And tomorrow I plan to go back to return the original item with the receipt for the second purchase. I AM NOT asking for a refund, and am happy to have two items (if they replace it), having paid twice (once for each). Part of me feels a bit guilty, but another part of me says it's ok. I have paid two times with good money, but the first item was clearly faulty (wouldn't charge). Am I a bad guy?

From what is written here, she should be given a medal. However, there are two sides to every story and we will never hear his.

Thai Airport Issues Warning to Pet Owners After Cat Incident
2long replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"Previously, the Airports of Thailand (AOT), had no explicit rules barring pets from the airport" How is this possible?!
