    The headlines say: Russian Tourist shot. Then later, the Russian owned a restaurant in Thailand. Obviously there are dots that need to be connected here. Was he laundering money through his restaurant ? He was obviously on someone's " Wanted " list.

    BKK 6060 is right on the money. But we see from history how things transpired here in the early 40's. Having said that, tens of thousands of Chinese currently moving to Thailand will NOT want to go back to live under an Authoritarian regime again, neither will most educated Thais.

    JohnnyBangkok is so out of touch. It's China spreading its sphere of influence across SE Asia as well as Africa. It's Russia who invaded Ukraine and is supplying planes, helicopters and guns to the tatmadaw in Myanmar to butcher their own people with.

    But of course. With China licking its chops in ousting Democracy from Myanmar, Thailand will be the next domino, although that may take some' time. Any attempt to help the Resistance in Myanmar will not sit well with them.

    Reading BBC today and the HUGE Mafia bust in Europe with ties to the Chinese mafia is enough to give one pause. It's easier to bribe Thai police than Chinese police, one would assume. Thus the extra vigilance here in LOS.

    Rooster can't handle face masks so he wants the entire Thai population to ditch it. It hampers social interaction, he says. You mean to say, he interacts with EVERYONE who doesn't wear a face mask in Pre Covid days ? C'mon dude, stay maskless in your own lane, but let those who wish to safeguard their health ( from Covid or bad AQ ) be allowed to do so.

    The recent news by thai immigration officials certainly did not help matters. 116 arrested so far ??

    Exactly ! Why isn't the Swiss man named and picture id attached ?

    To Chelseafan....of course the Swede should be paraded around. He was wilfully breaking the law and would have continued to do so except that he was caught. No sympathy.

    He is supporting a Thai woman ( and or family ) most likely. Leave him and let him sink or swim on his own here.

    Would any reasonable Insurance Company cover foreigners riding motorcycles in SE Asia , Let alone ones that do not ride them at home ?

    Perhaps the Pole is a Sugar Daddy that the wife doesn't want to lose. More interesting is, how long has he been in Thailand and on what kind of Visa to allow him to get married so fast?

    No one is looking into the other 5 Koreans that were at the station ? You can bet they have stories to tell as well.

    Living with a Thai lady in Holland while online with another in Thailand . Karma can be expensive, Peter.

    Why doesn't Pasuth address the double pricing scam here in LOS ? I have never seen that scam in Europe, USA, Canada , Austrailia, Japan etc. directed at Thai tourists.

    Amazing how fast they caught this guy - a matter of weeks. But the RED BULL HEIR.....after 10 years, still Zero.

    ANYONE NOT having been vaccinated by now is a moron and should NOT be traveling to foreign countries.

    Medical Prisoner is a bit harsh. The unfortunate lady probably did zero research on traffic conditions in Thailand and was in fact a " prisoner " of her youth. " Youth is not yet capable of judging risk " in the words of BF Skinner. Motorcycle rental companies should be forced to ascertain proof of insurance before renting out their bikes. But that will never happen here.
  19. mberbae
    Isn't this the same group that took over the Red Bull heir case ?

    Great idea. My daughters are being taught English by non native English speakers who ONLY teach English so that they can get a Visa. Never mind the Thai English teachers, many foreigners from non English speaking countries are not qualified to teach English.

    Acuity, perhaps, had Nothing to do with it. It could well have been a heart attack, which can happen at any age.
  22. mberbae
    3 houses empty ? Why not rent 2 of them....or let relatives stay there to keep an eye on. We ALL know by now, living Outside of a gated community can be a recipe for exactly this type of crime.

    No little wonder I have NEVER seen a policeman crossing in a painted crosswalk.

    Disagree with Dirk. Prayuth would have gladly shaken Putin's hand. Money and Power over ethics is the name of the game for Both of them.
  25. mberbae
    It seems likely China wanted something from Thailand and Prayuth did not play along. Bravo to Prayuth. Covid had nothing to do with it.
