Airfare Hike Strands American in Bangkok Airport for 10 Days
My bias does not extend to supporting bullying tactics and unnecessary attacks, and the killing of civilians. World has gone mad.

Canadian Man Allegedly Skips Bike Repair Bill, Steals 20,000 Baht
Sounds like there is no argument that the bike was damaged. He signed paperwork saying he would be responsible for the full value of the bike, as per the usual contract. The owner also loses potential rental while getting it fixed. This will be another guy wanting a passport as deposit! Some might suggest the renter gets insurance, I recall one shop in Pattaya that did offer insurance at a supplement.
