Was the altercation related to damage to the taxi bike? Or attempted exortion for 'damage'? Whatever, cleavers are not cool.

Give them the family room at the Bangkok Hilton.

I love how avoiding legal proceeding against him is now considered a 'self imposed exile'.

Oh well. Back to the call centre then.

Give him a break - maybe he just got separated from his buddies at the underwear party!

Tip of the iceberg. Hang Dong district seems to be crawling with Chinese call centres. I think that's 3 busts in as many weeks.

'Pick up trucks with excessive speed losing control' seems to be a standard line in these reports. RIP to the innocents just going about their daily lives.

Kids on big bikes, pick-up trucks - what could go wrong?? RIP young lad.

Motorcycles travelling in the left lane, shifting right across the fast lane to probably make a U-turn - probably accounts for many tragic events here. It's a shame the Thais aren't ready for roundabouts.

Never before has Chinese New Year been a date to look forward to in Thailand for so many....oh wait....pending the completion of their digital payment system.

Got a broken pipe causing big issues. Anybody know a good company to help quickly?? A few Somchais have already failed. Please let me know, the problem isn't getting smaller!

Exit Thailand on the Thai passport, enter Australia on the Australian. Exit Australia on the Australian and enter Thailand back on the Thai passport. Pretty simple, done it many times with my Aus/Thai kids. If you are travelling with the mum, then no problem or need for Ampur stuff. Lots of conflicting info re; need for permission from mum letters. Personally, I have taken my son to Aust without it - and had no problems. If you are worried about it, then cover your bases with a visit to the amphur.

That's a harsh statement given the previous grants and background information. If you read it?

Apparently 2 years in considered enough time to no longer be 'settled' according to the policy interpretation of this visa case manager. It seems the 40+ years I lived in Australia don't mean anything. Yes, this contradicted previous visa applications which were all granted under the 'Sponsored Family Stream'.

So, just to add closure to this whole episode, my wife has now been granted a tourist visa. Hooray! She will join us as a tourist - not as my wife lol
