The horrors, the audacity, the flagrant flaunting of the rules, the dishonesty... hang on a minute... I forgot

that this is Thailand.... transfer to inactive post with full pay.....

Look, the truck driver asked the Policeman if he was hungry so offered to shout him a lunch, the police man was so thrilled and chatted away and forgot to write the ticket, slaped wrist sufficient.

I took a Thai Taxi to BK once which got pulled over at the Toll gates by a patrolman, the only probe was into my pocket for 200BHT, the driver was warned that next time a ticket would cost him 400BHT.

The driver never repaid me either.

I posted several years ago......check his bank accounts, it was written all over this vile man who was bought and paid for. A pillar of ................................ oh and who appointed him DSI chief I wonder, rotten to the core, I hope he sees the inside of a cell for a very long time along with his cohorts

I was wondering because no mention of a prosecution, if he will be brought before the Judiciary or just have his assets taken, then no mention whether the bodgie transfers will have a forensic accounting investigation and confiscated.

Rotten to the core in all walks of life is LOS, nothing is sacred.

What planet did She come from? Didn't She read about Thailand before coming here? Crazy behaviour! The police were spot on getting her off the street, well done the BIB.

obviously a few BHT short, or she was on something, very lucky police helped her, a good opp for tourist damage control

Insider trading is part and parcel of the corruption make up in this country where they see noting

wrong in circumventing the laws that were put there to protect the public's interests including those

of the cheaters themselves, but this is asking too much from a culture of every man to him self, and

steal and cheat as much as you can coz everyone else is doing it... so until the psyche of the people

will change to think otherwise, these acts and similar will continue.....

Insider trading is epidemic around the globe escpecially Wall St, litle old NZ if full of it as well.

If Thailand cleaned up insider trading they would set a world wide example. dont hold your breath!

I want to buy the one from soi Nana and Rama 4.

Dangerous floating bombs in san saeb and all you get is a short suspension . Madness continues

Floating bombs and maniac drivers, a suspension that lasted 2 days is farcical.

proceed at your own risk, very hard to get on and off them also if you have a tricky knee , they will pull away before your clear if your not carefull, I stopped useing them a few years ago.

Sounds like an LNG leak in an enclosed space.

All boats running gasoline or LNG need a well ventilated engine room. Otherwise they tend to go BOOM!

Indicating it was not from the tanks??? it was an explosion probably from leaking gas which comes from THE TANKS.

Along with ventilation they can install a sniffer device which will not allow the boat to start if gas is detected in the engine bay.

He talkie, very nice to Police, he pay big fine, he Walkie.

Before diesel was subsidized to keep it cheap.. now the fund needs to be replenished so you are paying more again. Seems fair to me first you got a discount now your paying extra for tough times.

I thought I read in the BK post a few days ago of a price minimum on Diesel, so it seems it has reached this.

I buy the cheaper Deisel which was selling a few weeks ago for 18bht ,then the other stuff was around 22 bht.

I find nothing wrong with the cheaper diesel.

The expensive Diesel just has a few colors added into it, my friend worked at an oil refinery in NZ I also worked on oil tankers, the cargo we delivered comes from the same tanks on the ship, the difference being that when pumped ashore it goes into each companies holding tanks, then my friend said they just stick some additives in which he says is generally coloring.

Run on the cheaper stuff and put some of the so called expensive stuff in every second or third fill.

I also find some areas sell fuel cheaper than others as well.

And what of the trafficked beggars? Their sad situation legalized by the Thai government?

Perhaps the government should first figure out if they are begging of their own free will or not, otherwise, this will turn into a brothel like situation where their handlers will legally put them on the streets, which in turn will cause more people to be trafficked and turned into beggars.

May I be the first to say this is a horrible idea. Help them, don't enable them.

Quite right! mothers of babies wait in the background while their babies beg, they then take the money and by alcohol/ drugs.

Penalties should be toughened for the criminals that maim people in order to make them their beggar slaves.

The others shoud be helped off the streets and the mothers of babies put through rehab while their babies are looked after, sadly I met a german lady the othe day who has adopted 2 young girls as the mothers were hopeless drug addicts, a hard problem to solve but good on her, shame on the state, there has been a poor man crawling around BK face down with no feet and only one hand with which he holds a cup, he is filthy black most times and he has been around 15 years that I know off, why hasn't the authorities helped this man alone???? sad.

This is tragic, this poor guys only offence is not leaving the country, he didn't harm anybody. Whatt happened to this guy must be dream come true for people who vilify fellow foreigners who over stay. Visa sub forum here is full of posters calling for harsh punishment for foreigners who have over stayd, a very minor, victimless offence.

Lets put your allegation to the test, shall we ?

Who on this form feels that over stayers deserve to have violence inflicted upon them ?

Whitemouse says that this forum is full of people who dream about this kind of thing .

Is he correct or is he just being abusive about forum posters without reason ?

Whitemouse is correct. This forum is stuffed full of people who will see this as " He got what he deserved "

I class it the same as riding a motorcycle without a license or helmet

That said I don't believe the police would inflict such violence simply for being on overstay and would hazard a guess he decided to not come quietly shall we say

Yes maybe he was very drunk and mouthed off at police or he was put in a cell with other people and mouthed off at them, other than that why would he be bashed for being an overstayer??

He's just looking for loose baht in the back pocket

That could be loose fart.

Crime must be rampant in China , One of Chinas greatest exports, criminals.

another story on chinese crims but the same as the other stories about their activities WITHOUT ANY FACE PHOTOS OR FINGER POINTING,

I wonder how much they paid for that??

"Most accidents caused by Chinese are resulted from riders' lack of understanding of the Thai traffic regulations."

Hahaha.

What's to understand?

Me go first, easy.

Thais don,t even know the road rules except for the above.

However Chinese tourists have caused some bad accidents and fatalites in NZ by driving on the wrong side of the road and not knowing road rules.

Oh brilliant idea! Drive even more of the too poor even for the locally brewed shit 'beer/whiskeys' to Lao khao why don't you. Cretins.

Exactly,home brew and alcohol deaths will multiply.

They did this in NZ, made no difference, just made people poorer and increased crime rates.

And this is why all foreigners should read the writing on the wall that in this country when it comes

to dealing with the loco locals, one is advised to tread lightly, very lightly, one never knows the

popper looking guy next to you carrying a gun, as it was already established that those hot headed

idiots act first, and never think or care of the consequences....

Good advice, apply this when driving also as a bit of rage might get you shot,

maybe thats why Thais black out their cars windows, which also makes the cars dangerous as you can,t see much at all in the rear view mirrors.

Shooting sounds very similar to one a friend saw in a karaoke bar, 2 tables of Thais slinging it at each other , became louder over a bit of time, then one idiot pulled a gun and shot one of the Thai mens dead from his table.

Maybe the brother supplied him the gun, maybe he will get off with a plea of self defence as he thought the other guy was going to pull a gun and shoot him.

This country needs to introduce gun laws and make guns illegal , Thais should not be allowed to carry guns.

I sometimes stay in a hotel right across the street. Avoid that area late at night. There's a lot of junkies around there, cheap, highly at-risk hookers too, and you see various their deposits on the sidewalk in the morning..

Those idiots deserve similar treatment - if Karma has any say in the matter..

I think the enlightened one should be informed immediately and clean up this blot on the LOS/ tourism.

A year ago, Ajaan Chalermchai stated that he would be building separate toilets for Chinese tourists. He said in a television interview that it was "impossible" for other tourists to use the bathrooms so he would build new ones, DPA reported. Previously, the temple had even banned Chinese tourists altogether after Chinese tour groups left the toilets in a state of disrepair. "They had defecated on the floor, urinated on the walls outside and left sanitary pads on the wall of the bathrooms," an official who requested anonymity was quoted as saying.

Last week, while still free for Thais, he said he would begin charging admission for foreigners and apparently mainland Chinese tourists are now welcome?

I drove tours in NZ mostly Chinese and Korean, they hate each other when my bus broke down full of koreans another bus stopped to assist and take my passengers, but the other bus was full of Chinese and their tour guide would not have them on the bus.

Every time I took Chinese tours to a restuarant (owned by Chinese interests) they left with bones and food all over ther table and floor, the toilets trashed.

When ever they got a chance to smoke they tossed butts on the ground, they walk over the top of anyone in their path, they are rude and arrogant.

The koreans are much bettter behaved and never trashed restuarants or toilets.

The tour guides are all on the take and any venue that we took chinese tours to was controlled by chinese interests, I was told to detour around NZ tourist shops so they could not see them.

Same in LOS they are controlled by the tour companies and venues are pre-aranged, the Thais in the streets will get next to no benefit from Chinese tours, only the chinese Thai interests will ever benefit.

One artist will never change their mentality, as soon as they get off the planes in BK the start marching around and yelling out.

And of course neither the Thai authorities nor the Chinese owners will take responsibility. Could it be (perish the thought)this watery grave was no accident?

docked for a year with no crew or maintenance, maintenance was due, so it could never have been used for a legal cruise.

Scuttled for insurance more likely ,the balme clearly lies with the owner and port authorities for not overseeing it's safe departure outside of thai waters .

Wonder who paid the port fees before it was released.probably the brown paper bag man.

Sack the transport minister, and the police general traffic control.!

I have said the same, lucky there is not a lot more today in Hua Hin the road is like a race track just maniacs everywhere ,what were they on last night as no alcohol?

Harmless prank - poor execution. And Wrong country . See the looks on the faces of the staff? Real life mimics TV???

Maybe the Rusians were watching a Thai soap in the restuarant at the time and became mesmorised.

What? Wait, what? Were we not told recently that Thailand is safe as there is no IS activity here? So this cannot be correct.

I think you will find they have forged Turkish passports and are Uighurs, so not to worry they are not terrorists

You reap what you sow....The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is now on the receiving end of his lunatic foreign policies, picking fights with every man and his dog, the EU, the Russian, The Syrian, The Kurds,

the Israelis, he hasn't got not one friend in the region, you can't be a bully without to expect repercussion Mr. lunatic president....

Firing across the Border at Kurds fighting ISIS, shooting down Russian planes, providing training grounds for IS, buying IS oil , letting IS run across the border into Syria.

Letting the Saudis Jets into Turkey the very Saudis supplying IS with US arms and to threaten Syria with invasion by Saudi and Turkish troops'

A true psycopathic maniac.

Trouble is the world is full of them in high positions of power.

Boggles my mind how anybody could do this. Kill a family man in cold blood. Unreal.

Condolences to the surviving family.

how many years have you been here!!!...for pitys sake I have seen things get more evil here with each passing decade (when people finally take off the rose tints, they see very clearly this place is full of wicked people)

PYB of AoLuk has/had a LOT of power

I think Clint Eastwood has taken over from Muay Thai as the National sport.

"Dr Worawarong Rakreungdet , the deputy spokesman for the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that the first fireball that was ignited was quite large which confirms that the gases were combustible."

Whew, good job an expert was on hand to tell us this.

Would never have worked it out for myself.

What he should hve said was don't get any on you, dont try this at home, errect a no smoking sign and warning not to swim in or drink this water.

Sounds like a lot of sheiite needs dredging here.
