Pattaya drunk in a bar who did he upset,happens alot don,t upset the locals

If he did not work at a school then what was his visa and why no insurance.No license or helmet or something else be careful.Anyway now he is begging like many

The 7 days of drinking for the new year,the police will be out and checking,many will die as expected and also injuries.Nothing will change except hotels can provide in the rooms 24/7,does not include the villages or small shops there.same as last few yrs

Another begging bowl case,had a accident on a bike.Many years in thailand he knew the risk.If at a school he had a visa and the school paid tax and medical insurance I Imagine.My guess is his fault so no insurance payout for sure,His family like many will go to the begging bowl please help before they offer to pay. Even if he had some private insurance if his fault sorry no payout,Try the begging bowl son if that failed we may be able to help.These cases are too many now and these people will go str away to go fund me,no one will give they have had enough of poor tourist had a accident my fault but i expect other people to pay for it

They have no rules or laws on this,so no fine for the police mthly fund

My friend in cnx got his pension 14 yrs ago now and it has stayed at £100 a week since day 1.he lives in cnx and is happy so no issue.but i never understood why phillipines gets the extra but not thailand

It happens in every town young thais doing the same but never arrested or charged.

If he has being in thailand a long time he should know when not to pick a fight or agruement.A traffic accident is one and probadly saying it was your fault as the farang.Better to walk away and sort it quietly instead u got attacked I had a accident minor damage to my bike and tuk tuk,never going to win the battle.I know the tuk tuk was as fault but i can do nothing police called i paid up.Nothing i can do and the thais seeing the accident said nothing but knew i did no wrong.If they was a chance i win then i would have tried but i know i was fighting a losing battle and the tuk tuk driver got one over another farang.The bamboo wind was fast too and everyone knew what happened after round town

family friendly place to stay this says it all

They are only following other countries and others are raising it higher now.I believe aust is 69 or 70 now.Greece was 50 or 55 before the eu stepped in and told them what to do.But 65 is starting age for most countries.I believe the US can be 65 or 70 for better benefits.So thailand is just following the trend,maybe the younger people in time will have the age set at 75 who knows

We all know traffic is bad in bkk and other areas. a charge is allready in place for motorway traffic which a taxi passes onto the customer or car owner pays for a quicker drive time.I think they see what happens in the west and other cities. as a money earning scheme like london or paris and parking permits are easy money for who is in control of the city.Ask a londoner what they think of the mayor and they will tell u quickly .Only the cyclist or a certain group think khan is good

The burning season this year was not good but it has being worse in past years.Wear a mask if it was that bad i wore one sometimes but overall air quality at that time was not good. Can not say about bkk but once the rain starts it clears up nicely until the next burning season. Many friends did leave some did not and returned in may when it stopped,but if you had health issues then maybe the sth is better at that time of year.From where i lived and when i drove i could not see the mountains and when in chaing rai u can could see the same

It was a accident where or what the tourist/farang doing near the boat to be cut.Where was the person controlling the boat and was he paying attention.It was a accident nothing more fixed up all ok now

They helped to get rid of the party that got most of the votes last election move foward,Then we all know what happened after thaksim returned he was so bad so in hospital until his future clear. Now his puppet daughter in power like the sister did,they look into the party now after all this.The horse has bolted pretty much so who knows what will happen probadly nothing

Begging to annoy the restaurant owner to give him something i suppose.In siem reap restaurants give them food to stop them annoying customers inside.Does not work they still beg outside and ask for money.You offer them food they will say no and want some dollars which someone watching will collect straight after.Others will do it outside 7/11 and ask farangs and 7/11 shop owners have liitle power to stop them too seen it many times in cnx
