Five posts so far and none of them Brit bashing! Maybe the usual suspects are still in bed with their long time katoeys from a Friday night on the sauce! 😉🤭

Whatever this little event cost, was a waste of someone else's money.

And the parents are now being blamed for showing the temple in a negative light! You could not make this sh*t up!

Waiting for the Brit* bashers and Katoey haters to all chip in. Probably both 'men' were equally at fault, but the men in dresses attack in packs. *before I get lambasted by you know who for mentioning a Brit because his nationality isn't reported, I know what I'm doing.... 😉🤭🥱

"The rapid virus spread has been attributed to group activities within the prison." which in reality means blame overcrowding and poor ventilation. I've been to NST prison, and it's not nice!

Thanks for misquoting me, for whatever reason you chose. Mine was a QUESTION saying 'IS IT possible that that the driver saw that the Brit was drunk and possibly new to Thailand, and scammed him?'

The poor kids' parents should be arrested for encouraging child abuse. They should have aimed high (1,000,000B and castration) in order to deter others and at least take some of the pain away!

It sounds like they already know the complete sequence of events.... or are they looking into who's actually who and how rich and how keen to stay out of prison before confirming these 'events'?

Is it possible that the driver - made a mistake, and actually took 1,000B thinking it was 100B? - saw that the Brit was drunk and possibly new to Thailand, and scammed him?

I plan to land at SGN on a Friday afternoon, and get a taxi to District 1. What should I avoid regarding paying a sensible price? If I download Grab (Thai version) will it work there? Yes, I'm a dinosaur! Thanks in advance.

I feel that the photo is a stick/file image of the cabin and it looks to me like all those seats recline flat or almost flat. I have not seen the Thai guy's pics or complaint. Has anyone else on AN/TV seen this? All I'm saying is that it's unclear from the report exactly what the issue was. If he's complaining on behalf of himself and his clients, then are we talking about multiple seats? And if multiple seats, is it a malfunction (compensation deserved) or bad design (wouldn't we have heard of this before) or something else?

There has to be more to this. I smell some exaggeration. Was it one faulty seat, or more seats that never recline? Surely the plane cant have been designed to have non-reclining business class seats and if it was, then we would have heard of it before (from others complaining). I get the feeling there's another side to this story, and maybe the customers expected more than he deserved.

Nothing's impossible

Up to 10 years in jail!? Can you imagine what the punishment would have been if he had dragged a policeman to his death in an exotic sports car then fled the country? Although he should have just paid the fine, there's a chance that other law breakers were ignored nearby at the same time, and this was an easy catch. And maybe, just maybe, the cop who put that chain on wasn't wearing a crash helmet, or may have been drunk and/or corrupt..... so who's more wrong?

My daughters rescued and reared 4 kittens from a day or two old, along with the mother. All are incredibly healthy, have full tails, and had vaccines. Two have already been rehomed, and these two boys are available for free to a loving home. We're on the west/north-west side of Bangkok

As @ChrisY1 points out, these trucks just seem to 'lose control and flip.... causing the 'mishap' I would guess that the 'mishap' was driver error and speed, and nothing else.

Well, they will do it at the wrong time of year, and cut corners on the quality/quantity of sand, cement and labour. It'll be dangerously broken within a year.

Great headline. I would have thought that ALL hand grenades are dangerous.

Thanks and yes to 1, 2, & 3. I'll ask for the letter, and maybe visit my local immigration office, although Nonthaburi can be stubborn fckers sometimes.

Thanks, but not confused. The work permit will expire on the 15th, but I prefer to leave a week before that and come back on a 30-day stamp. If I didn't have a multi re-entry, I guess it would be simple. However, what I don't want is the multi re-entry to be used and me only get a week (until the 15th). I would like the IO to stamp me back in on a 30 day exempt stamp.

Thank you. I am not planning on another Non-B. I want a 30 day stamp for now, because I will leave Thailand again after a few weeks.

My Non-B expires mid May, and I have a multi re-entry. I don't want to leave it until the final day to leave. I want to leave a week before and return on a 30-stamp. Does anyone have experience of asking the IO at the airport to either cancel the Non-B on the way out, or ignore it on the way back in, and giving a 30-day stamp instead? I don't need or want advice on staying in the country and changing visas, or asking my employer to cancel it in advance. I just need to know if it's possible to do at the airport on the way out or back in. Thanks in advance.

I bet you lead a very lonely life! All you ever do is quote on others' 'posts and pick holes in what they say! Some of us are sometimes wrong. But most of us write what we think or feel at the time. All you ever do is pick up on things which you don't agree with or feel that you can prove are wrong. Yes, sometimes you're right and we're wrong... but I bet most members om this forum are happier than you. Oh, and we all know you want the final word, so go for it... while you're quote a load of other members.

It could be one of three 'failures' including what @worgeordie said - failure to apply the brakes, or driving to fast and the poor brakes failing to manage - failure to have the brakes inspected and maintained like every vehicle should be - failure to use engine breaking down hills instead of the actual brakes. Engine breaking is using a lower gear DOWNhill so that you don't overheat the actual brakes, which renders them useless in the time of need. EVERY driver should know this, especially drivers of manual gearbox buses in hilly areas!

I regularly/currently travel to Don Meaung for just 20B, from Talingchan, at the other end of the SRT. I love it!
