Scottish holidaymaker’s scooter disaster in Koh Pha Ngan
Yesterday I saw two falungs with passengers on their bike, young guys clowning around on the canal Rd, so dumb and stupid they obviously dont know how dangerous bike riding is in LOS> This story is not well written it sounds like he was not at fault he was hit by another bike, or he ran a red, the article needs to be written clearly.

Three Dead, Dozens Injured as Steel Beams collapse on Rama II Road
If a major earthquake hit Bangkok, what a mess it would be. With the amount of overhead roads and train lines stories high it is actually a engineering wonderment, despite the accidents, which are tragic.

Bangkok Police Arrest International Gang for 3M Baht Gold Heist
Left in the car overnight, now that is either stupid or something is going on here, how this Somtum vendor knew what was in the car, maybe he was set up to rob the car by the other perp who has gotten away, so far, the plot might thicken.

Thai Navy's Submarine Plans Stalled Pending Feasibility Study
Maybe they could ask Putin for a sub, I'm sure he's got plenty of old boilers in moth balls that would be ideal to play with in the shallows of the Gulf of Thailand, they could be double purpose and used as prawn boats at night.

Public Bus Accidents in Thailand Surge by 46.5%
No need to tow they get driven around all over Hua Hin everyday, cars with no stickers, broken lights, no mufflers. Many are rusted patched up wrecks. Kids driving bikes, I saw 5 people on a bike yesterday by a school, 3 kids and 2 adults ,no helmets. As for lpg vehicles they should not be allowed to fill-up at stations unless they have a certification from road transport that is current. You cant even fill a lpg bottle in NZ if the test date is not current. You can not fill cars or busses without the vehicle having current certification. I dont know how Thais get licenses they dont obey pedestrian crossing rules or roundabouts. Service station staff should be trained to check the cng or lpg registration, they are trained in most countries.

Boy 7 killed by Thai mother rocks quiet Welsh town
Who knows maybe a loan from parents, or maybe he had a house before he met her, either way it sounds like he was sadly a nutter, and she was placed under duress. The question is why she did not walk and seek help, maybe loose face, Thais dont recognize mental issues as we do and some woman Thai or not stay in abusive relationships until they snap. It is truly sad.

Methanol Cocktails Leave Two Australian Women Critically ill in Thailand
I think it's a credit to Thailand to get them to a decent hospital in BK because they are seriously ill, and Laos hospital probably would not be able to help them. They are only kids, poisoned by cheap Charlie fake booze makers, trying to make 20 Bhat, its disgusting, good on you Thailand helping these poor victims of petty crime idiots.

Russian driver crashes into Thai couple’s motorcycle, denies responsibility
I have seen the insurance assessors act as middle men, asking the party who are wrong to pay a certain sum to the victims for damages to vehicles etc., when this is done there is a divide up amongst concerned parties, had this happen to a friend, but when he paid the victims pocketed the lot and said he did not pay, lucky he got them to sign receipt and had pic of withdrawal from bank as well, insurance assessor went mad at first until he saw the receipt, then oh boy did someone loose face.

Russian driver crashes into Thai couple’s motorcycle, denies responsibility
No Money no Honey. Probably no license , no money , no insurance, probably hiding from the draft. Yet Thailand encourages these people in. The Police should be able to settle this, once a fee is agreed upon.

Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
The mad muffler drivers are everywhere creating noise, Speeding and dangerous driving 95% don't know how to use a roundabout or stop for a pedestrian crossing, yet to get a license you have to sit in a room for hours watching videos on road safety then pass a test on road code that is not easy, the practical is a joke .I don't know how some of them pass the test. A few days ago a motorcycle stopped and gave way to me at a roundabout, first time I ever had anyone use a roundabout correctly.

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
Aussies can get the pension in Thailand but I think they have to go home for 2 years to qualify, maybe an Auss can explain, NZ its totally portable, hope it stays that way, Winston Peters just stopped the National govt from raising the age to 67, if they raise it much more many will die b4 they reach pension age ,but Politicians want that, narcissist's

Mother Finds 16 Year-Old Daughter Allegedly Working at Bar in Pattaya
A bit of history. Pratunam Bangkok, was the red light area during the Vietnam war ,and full off gambling dens, you can still see the peep holes in some of the houses opposite the Indra hotel in the back Sois, my friend lived there for 45 years. It gradually migrated around to Sukhumvit.

Koh Pha Ngan terror threat claims are really nothing, say police
The article by Bob Scott seams credible SEEMS, so the police should be paying attention even if they think it's a hoax, it's very sad, but look what happened a few years ago in NZ , the govt and people never thought a mass shooting in a mosque would ever happen.
