They added the bla bla bla bla bla and for the rest nothing changes?

A better way costs money which they don't have. So they cheapest way is burning the fields. Which they will keep on doing.

when i am in Thailand the snot/mucus in my nose turns black within 24 hours after arriving. Their lungs must be black as can be. Do they really care about air quality? I guess it is a lot bla bla bla bla for the media and doing nothing in reality.

Maybe they really don't care? I always wonder how these bikes and cars can drive around. In my country they would have been set aside and not allowed to drive any further from that point on.

Losing face can never be a free-ticket to kill somebody. They should grow up and act like a adult instead as a pissed off child.

That is why he was arrested..... 😉

How many locals are arrested and get into the news?

I just can not believe this happens in such a way when you overstay a few days. There must be something more to it.

One drunk Foreigner (Farang) driver and its big news! How many intoxicated Thai crash every day? Where are they in the news?

Lately AseanNow looks like it is only focussing on the "bad" farangs and all the fuzz they are creating. It feels like the hubble telescope is zoomed in on them. I wonder why they still want to expand the tourism industry with all that negativity about their visitors. I stopped reading more and more these kind of articles as it does not contribute anything to the positive view i like to keep about Thailand and their citizens.

This kind of news is never good for foreigners and for Thailand. We all know stories of taxi drivers scamming their customers and one bad apple infects the whole lot. But bringing news like that this way also does more harm than good. It feeds the ones that hate the foreigners and it feeds the ones that hate the way foreigners are ripped off. Neither will win this discussion. Is it not just a way to draw negative attention by the news media earning their money from additional advertisements?

No probably he is a foreigner with a invisible ATM tag on his body?
