  1. It is very common in Thailand (and other SE Asian countries) for compensation to be offered to victims. In large sums of money for cases to be solved. I believe the local RTP take 10% or more for negotiating fee.
  2. I know 2 One was imprisoned and had to pay 1 million IN CASH bail. The other one was taken to jail while his family had to collect over hundred thousand Baht compensation... Just because YOU don't know of it happening, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen!
  3. 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. If it was the other way round the foreigner would have to foot the bill and still go to the monkey house.
  4. Should be the bus company, but no doubt the tourist may have to pay and then claim off the bus company after filling out 20 pages in triplicate and copying every page of your passport and showing medical reports and 50 photos of the injuries. Cant see any Insuranc company paying out has the coach crashed into the BACK of the truck at high speed. Driver error. Company problem. They would want his bus driver's license and passenger insurance,
  5. 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. But now even a Thai restaurant, or a food stall can use it if they receive a bad review from a customer on social media.
  6. Russian Mafia have been involved in all kinds of criminal activities in Pattaya, and they are mostly on ELITE VISA.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. No, he wasn't Starmer was the head CPS while Saville was being investigated. The Sun Newspaper was going to expose him in 2008 ,Starmer said there wasn't enough evidence to bring a prosecution. Plus the Sun Newspaper would face a libel case that would have cost them millions.
  10. 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.
  11. The guy confessed. So, stop blaming the victims. That's what glitter and saville did.
  12. Same as the smart cars scan the passport and it shows up what visa if any you have.
  13. Any ID with a photo and name matching the boarding pass. I wonder if they will start checking passports at bus stations?????? You can overstay and travel to Chiang Mai from Bangkok rather than by air.
  14. The article states they can use their driver's license issued in Thailand.
  15. From the Information I have the are unregulated insurance with-in England and France. I was told by a broker that they are under investigation. Don't know if true or not.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Why don't they do the same as the alcohol selling between 11 and 2 and 5 and 11, blame EVERYONE for the actions of a few and CLOSE ALL NIGHT CLUBS. That will stop the underage drinking.
  19. I see quite a few Thais (men) taking a piss in public. In fact in the Soi, I used to live in. the people two doors up would have a party and the party goers would piss down the drain on the opposite side of the road. Never a problem or a word spoken by Thais living in the Soi.
  20. I heard that, but wasn't sure about how much truth there was to it. Just in case I calculated that with my pension's income and with the B160,000 and without claiming any expenditure, such as rent, visa fees I would be required to pay B22,500. a year tax on my remaining income. But thanks for the heads up.
  21. My pensions both state and military are taxed in the UK. Plus, I have a fixed exchange rate The UK has a tax treaty with Thailand.
  22. I would have thought the incident involving the THAI police Officer and the Thai border guard having a shootout at a Thai restaurant over the affections of a Thai waitress working there, which resulted in one being shot in the leg and the other being shot in the head would have been more newsworthy.
