Sometimes I think it's a wee bit disrespectful when foreigners refer to other foreigners as farang.

Perhaps he actually stopped momentarily at a red light ? Almost feasible ?😁

The worst of most countries find their way to the worst parts of Thailand. Create the right environment and you'll attract the wrong sort of people.

Meaning either they'll be domestic tourists as in the 65% mentioned.....or they won't actually be tourists at all.

Meaning that 35% of Thai tourists will travel internationally then ?

I find "A nod is as good as a wai to a blind man". as the saying goes, sort of !

Thoughtless and totally unnecessary.

Not always. sometimes there are honest witnesses and occasionally even working CCTV. !😃

From the original post: ThaiRath reported that Shanghman travelled to the dam with his friends and a tour guide. They were staying at a floating raft accommodation called Krisorn Float. Perhaps the "tour guide" referred to was just a guy in a pick-up who took them there.

TTG votes for/ gives awards based on who offers their staff the best perks, jollys or freebees ! 😁

Serious question. but wouldn't a tour guide normally be involved in the registration process ? Given that it's their business, after all .

Surely that's more suited to Only Fans ?

Thais drive more like freestyle soloists. Doing whatever they (the individual) want, with scant regard for other road users, oblivious to everyone else . Major reasons why road accidents are statistically so poor . Not really so harmonious in effect.😁

Catered for and encouraged by weird locals (and Isaarn imports) 😁

...and the Pattaya Beaver interpretation, doubtless.

It's a valid comment given that the article refers to pedestrians stepping off the sidewalk, which is often due to them (food vendors etc)

Although ultimately responsible for their own safety, if, as stated. a tour guide accompanied them. wouldn't it be expected that he/she would have paid some attention to the rules ?

Thailand is no different in this respect than other countries. The "younger" generation leaning towards entitlement as opposed to respect.

That is a matter of opinion, something that you always seem unable to entertain, unless it is your own.

Unfortunately I can't do your thinking for you.😀

Ask yourself why there are different departments under the RTP. if not to concentrate their efforts and experience in specific areas and you might find the answer.

Huh ? You seem to think that they specialize in all areas. Immigration. crime suppression internet/cyber crime included?

In this case. perhaps their respective fields of expertise and maybe jurisdiction even.

How effective do you believe they can be regarding an issue that happened before they arrived in Phuket ? Perhaps they can visit the non -existent villa? Alleged fraud is not like they lost their passports etc.

Tobias and Ozeias sound like a Pikey double act.😁 (That's Travellers or gypsies to those PC or non-native speakers.)
