The sudden death of a British man from Sunderland has left his family reeling, both emotionally and financially.
Alan Carr Bryan, a well-known Sunderland local nicknamed “The Bear” passed away at his hotel in Pattaya on July 28, prompting his daughter, Abigail Ilsley, and stepdaughter, Natalie Parish, to travel to Thailand for his funeral and to settle his affairs.
Despite his prior travel insurance, Bryan unknowingly overstayed his coverage, leaving his family with an unexpected financial burden of approximately £6,000 (around 270,000 baht). Bryan’s ex-wife, Julie Robertson, mother to Abigail, described their ongoing relationship.
“I am his ex-wife, but we had been in touch constantly through our daughter. We were still friends; we had always been friends. He used to phone me from Thailand and introduce me as his wife. I would say, ‘We have been divorced for 24 years’.”
The family’s concern grew when Bryan abruptly ceased communication.
“He was supposed to be in contact with us, but we could not get hold of him. His phone was just ringing, his Thai phone was just ringing – then one of his friends told us he had found him in his hotel room and he had passed away.”
Ilsley and Parish are staying with a friend of Bryan’s in Pattaya but are still facing a steep bill for travel, funeral, and paperwork costs.
Robertson has set up a GoFundMe page to help with the expenses.
“We have raised about £2,100, but it was four grand just for the flight.”
The 71 year old man was a beloved figure in Sunderland, renowned for his size and athletic prowess, earning him the nickname “The Bear.” He attended Red House Comprehensive and was the top shot putter in the country at 15. Bryan also played rugby for Belford House and football for various teams. He worked as a bus driver and bouncer in the city centre.
A cremation ceremony has already taken place in Thailand, and a memorial service will be arranged later, reported Sunderland Echo.

FAFO....
Aussies need to understand that America is a violent country. Everyone I know back there is packing some kind of heat when they go out.
Such is life....and alcohol is to blame. Best if they had some Green.
Sad but true idiots abound, Australia is having problems with multiple stabbing incidents, anybody who carries a knife is a gutless coward in first place, hope he doesnt forget to get his buddies to get him some narm mun moo for monkey house

So I went to a birthday party at my Thai girlfriend’s upcountry family home over the weekend. After we were there for a while, my GF asked me to move her car so that someone else could exit the compound with their car from the parking area at the front of the house. I already had a few drinks at that point and I accidentally plowed the back of her car right into her brother’s brand new Ducati sport motorcycle that was parked behind her car.
There is only a bit of damage to the back of her car, luckily only the bumper cover is a bit scuffed, but when I crashed into his motorcycle it got smashed up pretty badly against the wall on the other side. Thus, there is damage to two sides of his bike. From the car hitting it and then from when the motorcycle hit the wall. And then the bike fell over when I pulled the car forward a bit after the accident. The damage from the car to the bike wasn't so bad but the wall really smashed up the bike on the other side and the fall presumably added to the damage of the petrol tank on the side of the bike that I crashed into as there were a couple of large stones on the ground that the bike landed on top of when it fell over. It was so dark that I couldn't really see all the damage I caused until we got some flashlights after the accident.
Everyone in her family was really good about it, but I could see from the look in their eyes that they weren’t impressed at all with my little stunt. Now I’ve gotta get my GF’s car fixed, which isn't so bad, but the worst part is how to deal with the bike. It’s a lot of monetary damage and I don’t have the money right now to pay for all the imported Italian parts needed for the repair, however her brother obviously wants his expensive and new 998cc sport bike repaired ASAP, and I don't blame him fir how he feels.
This isn’t looking good for me. Probably a big loss of face in the eyes of her family that I won’t be able to recover from. My girlfriend says she isn’t angry, but she hasn’t acted her same warm way towards me since the accident. So I don’t know how things are going to go with her in the future. We haven't had any intimacy together since the tragic event.
At the moment though the biggest problem is how to pay for the damage to the car and motorcycle and make good on everything I did. I can now pay for the car repairs as I said, but I told them I would need a bit of time to transfer the money in for the bike repairs, although the truth is I don't have the cash readily available. I have a property overseas I could possibly sell, but my parents are living in the place right now and selling a property takes time anyway. Don't think I can qualify for a bank loan either at the moment. I’m not really sure what to do next.

A group of Chinese men attacked a young waiter in Na Kham jeopardising his aspirations of becoming a soldier. Footage shared on social media displayed a chaotic scene in a local restaurant involving two foreign men. The video led to a plea to identify the Chinese assailant.
On June 11th, 2024, reporters visited the establishment in Na Kham, Kabin Buri District, Prachinburi Province. Blood stains on the floor bore witness to the brutality. An eyewitness, Mr. Ratchanan (pseudonym), recounted the nightmarish ordeal. He was celebrating a friend's birthday when he noticed a Chinese man dragging the waiter towards the restroom. Upon intervening, he discovered the man was trying to force the waiter inside and nearly harmed him.
As the restaurant prepared to close, the same Chinese man contested his bill. Within moments, another Chinese individual entered as if to escalate the situation, and quickly departed. Soon after, a third Chinese man, clad in a black shirt, brandished a knife and lunged at the young waiter.
Picture courtesy: Komchadluek
A total of eight Chinese men were involved; four launched the attack, while four waited in a car outside. Mr. Ratchanan used a table to fend off the assailants, but one of them managed to slash his right arm. He fled outside, hearing two gunshots whose origin remains unknown. The attackers eventually drove away.
Mr. Nok (pseudonym), working at the bar during the attack, didn't witness the incident firsthand but was aware of the Chinese men's menacing intentions. He hid the waiter, but the aggressors pursued him relentlessly. Speaking to the media, Mr. Nok highlighted the waiter's diligence and determination, lamenting that no one should face such violence.
Kabin Buri Police Station officials arrived promptly, recorded the bloodstains, and began compiling evidence to pursue further investigation. The community now awaits justice for the young waiter whose life and dreams are shattered.

I have one of these showers and not used it for around 2 months due to the crazy heat but switched it back on today and not getting hot water
Tried the ELB test and not that.
It was working fine for years and wondered if its an easy fix or just replace with a new one as they are only about 3000 baht and this must be around 8 -10 years old by now.
My wife's mother has the same one that stopped working a few months back so if i can sort mine out i expect hers could be the same problem
Problem is might cost 1000baht in parts and go wrong again in 3 months time.

An Australian passenger from the ill-fated Singapore Airlines flight 321 has broken his silence from his Bangkok hospital room.Keith Davis, previously blocked from speaking to the media, revealed the harrowing details of the flight’s emergency landing in Thailand that left his wife critically injured.
Davis’ wife has been in intensive care since their flight from London to Singapore was diverted after a passenger’s death amid severe turbulence. Speaking with the Today Show, Davis shared the severity of his wife’s condition.
“She has no sensation from her waist down, it’s pretty radical for us.
“We’ve had a fantastic holiday in the UK, we’re one more flight away, nearly home, and this comes along.”Davis’ wife is undergoing emergency surgery to stabilise her for medical evacuation to their home in Adelaide.
“It was absolute carnage. There was no warning. We just fell into a freefall zone, and before we knew it, we were on the ceiling and then bang, on the ground.”
Davis’ wife fell into the aisle, immobile, as he realised he was bleeding profusely.
Davis lamented the lack of communication from Singapore Airlines.
“I need to know, ‘Am I going through my insurance?’ I’ve got no idea.”
Despite the airline’s heavy presence at Bangkok’s Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, Davis and his wife received no information initially.
In a bizarre twist, Davis faced a media blackout enforced by hospital staff. In a public cafe within the hospital, staff, joined by security, prevented him from speaking to the ABC’s Bill Birtles. Davis, in a wheelchair with visible facial injuries, attempted to converse over a cup of coffee but was rushed away by staff.
The hospital later apologised, with Dr Adinun Kittiratanapaibool explaining that staff acted with good intentions to protect patient welfare. Singapore Airlines also apologised, committing to support the Davis family during this difficult time and arranging travel for their relatives, reported The Sydney Morning Herald.
Despite these assurances, Davis remains frustrated and hopes for a swift return to Adelaide for further medical treatment.

Thailand’s Public Health Minister, Somsak Thepsutin, has announced that only cannabis buds will be reclassified as Category 5 narcotics, leaving the rest of the marijuana plant legal. This decision aims to clarify the nation’s cannabis regulations following Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s pledge to recriminalise marijuana.
In this new directive, parts of the cannabis plant such as leaves, branches, roots, stems, and seeds remain unaffected by the ban. The focus is solely on the buds, which contain psychoactive compounds used for recreational purposes. This announcement provides relief to many in the cannabis industry who feared a broader crackdown.
In 2022, the Public Health Ministry, with approval from the Narcotics Control Board, removed marijuana and hemp from Thailand’s Category 5 narcotics list. However, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s campaign to reinstate restrictions on marijuana has led to widespread uncertainty.
Somsak’s clarification reassures businesses that only the buds are targeted. "The directive will specify regulations on planting, possessing, importing, exporting, and utilising the parts of the marijuana plant that remain legal," he stated.
The minister also confirmed that hemp would not be relisted as a drug. He emphasised that cannabis-related activities would require permissions, primarily for medical, research, and other legitimate purposes.
He assured that the new system of permissions will not impose excessive burdens and will clearly define the qualifications for individuals or businesses to engage in cannabis-related activities, ensuring transparency and ease of compliance.
Somsak promised a phased approach to implementing these new regulations, including a clear timeline for enforcement. This will give businesses ample time to adjust to the new legal landscape, aiming to mitigate any disruption to the burgeoning cannabis sector.
With these measures, Thailand seeks to balance public health concerns while offering some stability to the cannabis industry, aligning with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s vision.

Greetings and for any help and good perspective and advice, I thank you in advance.
A friend of a friend has just informed me that on the offer of a job and relication to BKK, that they have overstayed and been living in Phuket for 7 months on overstay. They have suggested that they know a thai guy in Phuket who will speak to immigration for them and all he will have to do is pay the 20K fine and all should be well.I'd say 7 months is a seriously long time and how likely is it that they will turn a blind eye to it?
Ive lived in thailand for 16 years and have only ever over-stayed by a couple days. Usually thats not taken seriously and you just pay the fine.
7 months seems a bit robust....?
Is it really likely that they'll turn a blind eye or he'll be turfed out..?
What is wrong with people these days?

This is the best way until we get clarity. International ATM withdrawals can't be tracked back. Larger purchases is where they are shooting themselves in the foot. Who on earth is going to buy a condo/house/car knowing they might have to pay a 30% tax premium on top of the purchase price come the end of the year? Who is going to put their kids in a high end school if the cost is now 30% more? Who will open a business, if to fund it you'll be liable for income tax? It'll all have to come from offshore without touching the local bank...
Why is it 30% when Thais only pay 7% and most dont TIT

I asked this question before some time ago but when I searched for it nothing came up. I am having mobility problems. All I want is a gym with a walking machine so I can walk on a flat surface (albeit slowly). I don't need aircon but I would like the machine to either have a TV nearby or even facing the road so I can watch something, rather than a wall.
Having such basic needs I would like it to be as cheap as possible. I look forward to your helpful replies.

I know.....
How can a toilet seat crack in half?
This has never happened to me before.
Could be dangerous, even, if a brittle plastic shard from a cracked toilet seat cut my privates.
Is this just a case of cheap plastics OF Yore?; about 35 years ago?
Or, are the tiny toilet seats designed for Tiny Thais just poorly designed, now that we know that Thais are becoming heavier, by the year?
FYI: I have seen PLENTY of Thais who are double my weight. And so, I think that toilet seats should be designed to withstand at least 200 Kilos to accommodate the commodes of Heavy Thais.
Obviously, this is a perfect case of inferior plastics being used 35 years ago.
NOW: Here is my problem....
The lousy garbage toilet seat is held in place by some metal screws, instead of what is now used...the plastic screws and bolts, which are easy to remove.
And, now, even though I have a new toilet-seat replacement, I cannot remove the old lousy garbage toilet seat.
I have unscrewed the right-side bolt, but the left-side bolt is completely locked, frozen, and corroded.
This is very unnerving.
And, there are even Blogs discussing the stupidity of using metal screws to hold the toilet seat in place.
As you know, where there is water, then there is bound to be corrosion.
So....HOW do I remove these lousy garbage screws holding the garbage plastic toilet seat in place.
If I cannot remove them....
Then, I cannot replace the toilet seat, and sit upon it.
Here is what I mean:
I have no drill, at the moment.
If I HAD a drill, then I would drill down through the head of the screw,.....
OBVIOUSLY....
Tks for any advice.
I do not want to take a sledge to the toilet.
I am trying to not waste money, by destroying the toilet with....
ONE FELL SWOOP of the sledge.....
