Unruly British man goes berserk on Bangkok-London flight (video)
Lopburikid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Seems to be happening a lot recently, people who are usually well behaved suddenly going crazy as the plane takes or is about to take off. I remember a craze long ago where it was thought funny to spike a person's drink or food and sit back and watch the action. -

Tragic scooter crash in Thailand leaves Queensland dad in coma

Agree. I would imagine that a lot of tourists who hire/rent scooters/motorbikes have never ridden one in their own country. -
The promising career of a talented Aussie Muay Thai boxer is on the ropes after a devastating knockout by a man driving on the wrong side of the road while riding his scooter on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand. In Shouldn't the driver who was breaking the law have to pay? What about his insurance? Did he have any? If not he should be held accountable for the medical expenses.

This is the part of the Lese Majeste Law that the MFP wanted to abolish. It was only meant to protect the Royal family. The Junta extended to it that any criticism of the government could be classed as offensive and prosecute the individua.

Update: British teacher arrested for sexual assault in Thailand
Lopburikid replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Not protecting him, but there have been cases of sexual and physical abuse committed by teachers of all nationalities, including Thai, American, Australian, and many others. Not just in Thailand, but Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia. Not to mention the UK, America and other European countries. Again, not defending him, just pointing out facts not prejudices. -
I taught for over 30 years. in Europe, Africa, and Thailand. Mostly younger children 8–12-year-old. Apart from the English language, I taught Math's and Science. It is very rewarding if done correctly. Seeing the joy on a child's face because they have achieved a 75% score on an exam which last term, they only achieved 20%. Plus, their joy at learning new languages together with exciting, and fun activities.

If you can't snow medical insurance when you attend hospital, they usually ask if you have the funds to pay (out patient) If an inpatient, they will usually ask for a deposit and/or keep your passport. been in hospital twice since moving here, both times showed medical insurance, never had a problem. morale. get medical insurance, you know you have to pay.

They have voted to send this bill back to the house to be voted on. They said that the 2pm to 5pm band cause more consumption of alcohol and increased drunkenness, most agree it does nothing. -
This has been going around China for months. Respiratory problems in the young and old They were talking about it last October 23. Some places in China went back into a lock down. Thailand reported an increase in respiratory and flu like symptom amongst the young and elderly in December. Plus, they are talking about record pollution levels in some large Thai cities, so maybe trying to deflect.
