Most deaths occur when they are run over by boats, then the sea grass is a major issue , hope they can sort it.

They won't show signs for weeks or months as the article says, so a bit early to diagnose.

get the passport a soon as possible, my son has a Kiwi  and a Thai passport.

have to wonder where the national park entrance fees go. well not really. money seems to vanish in thailand with no accountability.

Have a look at the state of some of the walkways in national parks, a disgrace.

The Army beach at Hua HIn has bridges over fish ponds that children walk over, that are falling to bits, then so are the fences around the beach and restaurant .

An interesting read.

Yes, the gulf of Thailand not suitable, the BK post reporting that the Germans offered 6 submarines for about 6 billion BHT and the Chinese offering 3 for 36 billion does not add up I think that 36- 6 equals envelope.

What can you say? the world is a mess, certain people sitting back manufacturing weapons and making a fortune out of misery.

How can you clean this mess? ANS = impossible , corruption is rife, the world is sick, unfortunately the sick run the world, otherwise known as sociopaths/ psychopaths.

When someone keeps doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result it is called insanity.

Psychopaths are insane, highly intelligent, without empathy, lie through their teeth and are only interested in parasitic munching and ladder climbing = Politicians, dictators, weapons manufacturers , oil companies, chemical companies , CEO's and car salesman and real estate agents at the bottom of the pile. Sorry forgot money lenders.

Sorry, but no single woman in Thailand is worth that.  Way too many more of them around to take her place.

 

Living in a hovel ' No Money No Honey' but I agree to go to hospital if you take care of my property which I was incapable of looking after as I was going to die.

Crazy man, lucky to be helped.

Very sad but it almost feels like a daily event (foreigner killed in motorbike accident in Phuket).

Driver did a hit and run. Also daily.

If you ride a bike here, then you are committing a daily dangerous act.

I have not had an accident YET!

I don't ride bikes, just driving a car here is bad enough.

One golden rule driving anywhere is to keep your distance and don't speed.

Very tragic, an absoluter horrific event that will scar for life.

My condolences to all.

Another one promising to clean up the mafia and powerful families!

 

I think the latest govenor is much more of a realist, he's only promising to clean up the rubbish and beautify the Island.

A good start, if he want's to clean other things then wearing a bullet proof vest is advisable.

A few days ago I was sitting in a restaurant on the border (won't say where) and I was with a friend who lives there.

We were right beside the border bridge, the Immigration and police were right above when 2 men swam across the river with a floating package , about 1 metre wide and about half that high.

Right under the nose of the authorities they took this across and then waded back and disappeared.

What chance has this guy got---- 0

Every time I see a headline that reads Karaoke bar raided etc, I have these visions of police handing out tickets for a bad rendition of "I did it my way" or bad Elvis impersonations.

Many years back after first arriving in LOS I was in Korat and sat down and talked to an expat who had owned bars in Pattaya.

He said to me never walk down a dark alley and never go into a Thai karaoke bar.

Good advice.

Not all government employees have health insurance that covers their families.

For those that do, the health benefit is great.

My friend is married to a school teacher and he gets a yellow card, he can go to public hospitals on the 30 BHT programme.

I don't know of other benefits as I have never asked him but I will ask him again today and will post for you if I have time.

You are paranoid, who says he ever had credit cards.

he was 60 and a non smoker ??  something not correct here. Why, ever heard of a hart disease, cancer, .....? 

His passport expired more than 2 years ago so that means no visa for at least 2 years. That is fishy.

The man himself, sounds like a bit of a loner, expired passport , no visa , overstaying deliberately is not normal.

Probably died of natural causes. RIP>

There would only be one motive for a fishy death and that would be money, we don't know anything about that , he might have had none , he survived however undetected by authorities, sounds like he kept to himself.

Why can't Thais do these jobs, is it because the conditions are so bad that no one else will do the work???

Too many big names involved, it will just be another massive cover up.

The little s..t is just laughing at this pathetic load of nonsense.

He faces arrest warrant for another no-show !!! 

the arrest warrant should have been issued 5 years ago, but money talks.

His whole family dont give a rats ar.e about justice, only  care about themselves.

 

As do all Hi So not only Thai.

Most very wealthy could not give a dam about the average jo blow.

The B2 case and this case make a mockery out of justice, quite shameful.

With the increased traffic density on Thailands streets nowadays, even at night one won't manage anymore to drive at, let's say, 160-170 km/h to achieve a 150 average, just too many obstacles and other drivers slowing you down.

 

 

From my experience on German Autobahns: to achieve a 150 km/h average over such a long distance, you have to constantly strive to drive you car with 200 km/h,

because road construction, trucks and other slow drivers overtaking, etc. ... are constantly decreasing your average.

 

Good luck trying that for 8 hours on Thai roads! 

 

 

 

Suicide, on Thai roads at 120 km, to drive at 200 km/h  on the autobahn you need a very nice vehicle that can do that ,not your average car.

The camera angle gives a really clear view but for the motorcycle she's come out from in front of the car so probably saw her quite late.  

Looks like the bike steered towards her, and it seems he had plenty of time to stop or slow and avoid her.

Bikes will run you down, I have been hit from behind in BK twice from idiots on the footpath.

Even when using a pedestrian crossing Thais will run you down.

I blame the Bike 100%
