I see that some posters want vaping to be allowed. Here are some facts about vaping harms: Vaping can cause lung damage. Research shows that vaping allows tiny particles to be inhaled deep into the lungs. ... Vapes contain toxic chemicals. ... Nicotine in vapes is addictive. ... Vaping causes breathlessness. ... Vapes contain cancer-causing chemicals. ... Vapes can burn you. ... Vaping can cause nicotine poisoning. Asthma. Vaping can make you more likely to get asthma and other lung conditions. Lung scarring. Organ damage. Etc.

Twice I have had to sit next to an "Incredible Hulk". It's an awful experience. On each occasion, I was pinned against the windows. On one occasion I was able to move seats, thankfully, as the man stank to high heaven. The other time I just had to tolerate his obesity. He was unaware of the discomfort he was causing and there was nothing he could do about his size. I can't understand why people let themselves become so fat.

As usual, the posters here have yet to discover empathy and compassion. I ask you to imagine you had experienced this ordeal and then you read the comments posted here. How would you feel? You'd be horrified. Firstly, we know the Police will demand a lot of money to free a tourist while taking money from the Thai(s) involved to "take care of the matter" as well. Secondly, if you get into such an unjust situation with the Police you take their names and tell them that you will see them on the Channel 3 programme โหนกระแส (Hone-Krasae) in the next few days. If they are being corrupt, they'll let you go because they know they could be kicked out of the Civil Service and even jailed. Thirdly, to tourists and all foreigners, if you take drugs and you're caught, expect the most horrendous worst.

If he was murdered, I wouldn't be surprised. The Police wouldn't do anything decisive about him, so maybe others took action instead.

In my opinion, if anyone approaches you in Pattaya for whatever reason, especially a transgender, don't trust the person and go away. Pattaya is that kind of place.

The judge in question is a Left Wing activist in the position of a judge. His wife works with the Democrat-Marxist party. His judgment seems clearly to be influenced by his Leftist ideology, not about what is right or wrong or what is best for the population, in my opinion. Why would a judge support and want to release some of the worst of the worst criminals in the world otherwise?

While happiness is, of course, a choice, life in Thailand is hard for most of the population, so I would not expect a high position on the table. I don't think the politicians or the Military play a role in the score because these people live in their own world of greed, self-service, cronyism, and corruption, and the population live their lives without them except when the rulers decide to throw a few crumbs at the poor, such as the 10,000 Baht giveaway.

Any day now one of the many Democrat-Marxist activist judges will try to ban any prohibition about masks when they are banned, and the media lackies will support the judge ... just like they are supporting the activist judge that is demanding that the TDA thugs are kept in America and ultimately let loose.

People who drink alcohol need such an awakening. Every glass of alcohol damages the body and will end with huge medical bills later on that may impoverish the family or couple. Wives need to kick sense into their husbands because of this.

Don't forget the CCTV cameras. It's amazing how they always break down when bad things happen.

He'll spend his last 10 or so years in prison and die there. This will make him really unhappy. He knows he won't experience freedom ever again and that will hurt him every day. Mods edit - I have removed the off topic political comment part of this post.

If Eury's parents are reading this, try this Healing prayer. Turn it on for Eury to listen to: Eury will be all right. Don't worry.

Maybe you're taking the comments too personally. I've lived here since 1984. I attribute the rude comments about Thais and Thailand to foreigners who are unhappy for whatever reason. Perhaps ask God to bless them and help them to find happiness and see the beauty in people, instead of telling the foreigners to ...

I wonder if he attacks his wife as well as dentists.

The transgenders in Pattaya are often causing trouble. At least this one ("it") didn't try to steal his wallet and gold chain if he had one on. Maybe "it" was in a bad mood because the tourist wasn't wearing a gold chain that "it" could steal.

I moved to Thailand in 1984. My few personal items arrived by sea. Customs made up the import charges according to their imagination. Following the guidance of the Agent, I ended up having to pay each of the officers 500 Baht to free the personal items.

You have to pay a lot of money to be transferred to a government department in Phuket, especially to the Police. You pay a lot, but you'll make a big profit through corruption. This is common knowledge.

There are many videos on YouTube of the drugs dogs sniffing out drugs. The crooks should have done their research first.

It was a toss-up between going to jail in Thailand or the UK because UK Customs dogs would have sniffed out the drugs at the airport. On the bright side they'll be able to extend their stay in their dream country.

"But ... but ... don't you know who I am? I have connections with the Mexican cartels and Russian mafias. You can't touch me!" ... There are enough delusional people in the world already.

@ Butts: No need! As I've pointed out about, the programme Hone Krasae on Channel 33 will solve their problem. The Thais won't dare to pursue the court case when they know that they'll have to face the nation on this programme. The local Police will stop the court case because they will get into trouble with the Central Police Department if the matter escalates to Hone Krasae. The big shots in the Police watch this programme every day and they will tell the local Police to deal with the attackers before the matter escalates into Des and Mary returning to the programme to say that the local Police were unhelpful. Besides this, the attackers' lawyer will back out when he knows he'll have to go on Hone Krasae because defending such injustice will be bad for his business in such a small town. It'll be business suicide for him.

I wouldn't bother to contact the British Embassy. Their reputation is "Basement Level Useless, Unwilling to Lift a Finger to Help Anyone, Too Busy with Cocktail Parties, Don't Disturb Us, & Still Digging to Even Deeper Levels of Uselessness & Can't Be Bothered". See my other comment. It will solve your problem.

Des and Mary ... you're doing this all wrong. Hire a lawyer and ask him to contact Khun Noom on Channel 33. https://www.youtube.com/@honekrasaeofficial Have the lawyer write to the accusers to say that he will be contacting the programme. If this doesn't scare them off, then have the lawyer write to Noom. Noom will invite the three of you to the programme (12:35 p.m.) together with the attackers. The whole country will hear about the attack. I don't believe the attackers will dare to pursue the court case when they know what is going to happen. They may say: "I have connections!" No "connections" will dare to get involved in the case because they know about Hone Krasae. This is the solution to your problem. How do I know? I've watched the programme over many years.

Matthias, stop walking the dogs on the beach; or have your annual visa revoked. Then you will have 7 days to sell everything you have before you leave the country. What will you do with the dogs when you are kicked out of the country? The choice is simple. Stubbornness combined with "Don't you know who I am?" is a poor option to choose.

I watched the midday TV News about the problem. It has become such a problem for the people who own the condos in the blocks. The swimming pool area and gym become very noisy and crowded.
