The UK should take a leaf out of the Danish books and restore the balance from taking all they can from it's own citizens while sucking up to EU opinion of what is good or bad for England - Good for you Denmark..!!

It is no wonder that the Middle East views the Western countries as being a "Soft Target"

Well done to all teams involved with the research & implementation of this operation, it is good news for everyone living here that medical improvements & innovations are made, some out there need to look on the good side for change.

_{It beggars belief, I know that Thais are superstitious but this is just pure raw stupidity ....}

_{At least it is good news that the Thai people responsible for tracking this disease are on the ball and acted in a responsible manner...}

1. got too greedy and priced yourselves out of the market, same happened in walking street Pattaya

2. as above - price fixing cartels not allowing bars to drop their prices as they want too using threats and intimidation

3. The Chinese don't do bars, they might walk around looking but spend FA

Greed is destroying these places and the same patterns can be seen in Bangkok and Pattaya, as western visitors decline you will typically see the same destructive business pratice of increasing prices instead of rescueing tourism and the bar scene with reduced realistic pricing, supermarkets 7/11 and familymart are a good guide and a silid stake in the ground - if they didn't exist this country would be in ruins

fair pricing and your business will boom again

All of the above is correct and only yesterday it was reported that the Thai government are considering charging the foreign tourist more money every time they enter, can they not read the writing on the wall, now is the time to make coming to Thailand more attractive not to shoot the other foot...!!

This is absolutely disgusting, the Thai government should feel ashamed of themselves for even considering this cheap move, it is pathetic....!!!

Why should Europe have to house these people when other Arab countries either will not take them or the refugees do not want to go to other Arab countries because they are not compatible i.e. Sunni or Shia, if they are not compatible with other Arabs, how is it they are expected to be compatible with Europeans..??

The western world is non-religious in the main, this makes it a great place for the zealots to spread their strict brand of islam. Other arab countries would not be receptive to such a move and have not embraced the concept of PC which would silence any criticism. It is so very simple when all the bells and whistles are stripped away. Just another conquering army sacking a perceived weak enemy.

Unfortunately you are correct, so how come the European leaders fail to recognise this or more likely don't want to - None as blind as those who don't want to see..!!!

WE were ALL young once and did stupid things at times yet got away with it (mostly) sadly this young man paid the ultimate price and has left his family devastated.

That is very true, but there is never an excuse for driving drunk, or accepting a lift from a driver you know to be drunk.

Have you ever been drunk..?? I do mean drunk!!!

While in many ways I do agree with some of the points mentioned, unfortunately many people out there are, or have been in their youth guilty of the same crimes; (and I do include myself) an old saying is that the "Guilty part in committing any crime is getting caught" this is just a very unfortunate way of getting caught..!!! and my respects go to his family, I'm sure this outcome was not planned.

^{The problem these days is that most country leaders are more concerned with looking good on the worl stage than looking after their own citizens}

It is time these scammers are made an example of, i.e if foreign, prison sentence followed by a ban from Thailand for a substantial period of time

I am A- but live in Pattaya although after reading one of the comments I am not sure my blood would be acceptable as I am 68 years of age, if you can confirm my blood would be acceptable I could go to Pattaya hospital for donation of blood.
