Thai Teen Defends Mother, Lynches Drug Addict
2long replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
While the son is clearly in the right, the lynch mob mentality of the others is a worry. What if the accuser had been high or vindictive or just plain wrong and told all the neighbours xx had tried raping his mum... and xx is lynched to death when innocent? I am not saying this is the case here, I'm just pointing out how easily, quickly and happily Thais will join such an incident, especially if they're guaranteed to be on the 'winning side' and can claim to feel justified. -
Hong Kong policeman’s fatal fall from baht bus sparks safety outcry

It says 'per policy' so it could possibly be even less than 500k if other claims have happened. I'm not sure though. -
Australian Father Seeks Help to Find Missing Son in Phuket
2long replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
In 1998/1999 I was on Koh Pha Ngan and this Aussie kid who had actually shared our songtaew from the pier to Haad Rin went missing. Posters up everywhere. Then the dad and some other relatives turned up in Thailand to join the search and were in the same restaurant as us. It turns out that the dad was a lawyer back home who had prosecuted some Thai drug kingpin, and the poor son paid the penalty. The first couple of times I heard the rumour that his headless corpse washed up in Surat I dismissed it as bs. But it was apparently true. We no have internet like this back then! -

Well, if he really did own the house, at least he warned them of what he planned to do. -

There is no punishment worthy of this scum's actions. But it would be good to try some out.... just to check. -
American Arrested for Stabbing Australian to Death in Thailand

I feel that many would agree with me that you're a tourist there, and your apparent disdain for tourists there means you're a bit of a hypocrite... possibly worse. -

I would argue that the lack of police on UK streets has more to do with cutbacks than them being busy in cozy (cosy sic.) offices -

I'm guessing if you visited a place twice in 24 years, that also makes you a tourist. Hard to agree with your comment then, really. -
Thai Official Spreads Fake News About Football Star Lamine Yamal

I know I know, in Thailand you can become a 'professor' without any skill or knowledge in your field, but surely in the civilized world to become a professor requires attaining that credential BY DOING RESEARCH. Clearly this fella did not! -

Where in the article or elsewhere in this thread are Poms (Brits) mentioned? In which case, why even mention this? -

Wow, I bet you're fun at parties! -
95% sure that was where some recently-bar-fined lady took me! I mean took a bloke I know who told me about it. 🤭

There are short-time rooms inside (apparently🫣🤭) 500B were all sold out and only had 600B when I (I mean a guy I know) recently went.

Tourists warned after box jellyfish stings near Bamboo Island
2long replied to snoop1130's topic in Krabi News
If the report wants to be unnecessarily specific by writing things like "Yutthapong Damsrisuk, head of the Had Nopparat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park" couldn't they be specific and write the species' actual scientific classification?.... and then we would know that the posters above 👆 are correct and this isn't news. -

Box & Bluebottle both start with the letter B🤔🤭🫣 And the former grabs headlines while the latter is common and almost never fatal... although I didn't feel that way when one got me. -

I got scammed 2 weeks ago, by someone impersonating Wise. £6,000 spent on my behalf, but within 48 hours wise had sent it back. My theory is that there are naughty people in the postal service scanning cards, as this happed as my card was in transit. I recently got Grab on my Thai phone and attached to my Thai bank, and to set it up I somehow followed some instructions from Grab to connect my card to my phone. Now I have a feature on my phone that activates whenever a card is near it. Even holding my phone and wallet in the same hand makes it happen. I'm currently in the UK and no one here had ever seen this before. Anyway, I reckon these scammers are in the postal service and scanning cards in the mail.

Scottish ex-football player admits to child sexual assault in Thailand
2long replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You have a valid point, and it's likely this fella had a rough upbringing. However, it needs to be stopped, or the cycle continues. Therefore, abusers need to be removed from society. Some would say in a barbaric way, and others less so. -

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

"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!
