….. and the rhetoric. He only got what he’s been promoting since his rise to power.

They got off easy.

Unfortunately this is the truth of the matter. Best advice is to marry an only child orphan with no children.

Since when is sex a sin? If it is we are all sinners.

This will undoubtedly culminate in record cases of overstays. Immigration cops are going to be busy. Not sure Thailand is going to benefit positively from this but the dollar is king.

I’ll buy it when I see it. Potentially a step towards a true democratic election process but I’m not sure that’s how it’s going to play out

Not sure this is going to put much of a dent in these numbers- if at all. I think the onus must be on the developers to reassess their business strategies and find a better way to invest. Seems they are following the Chinese example and hoping for a different outcome.

I’m thinking Boy is not going to let go of this and this couple need to be on their guard.

I was thinking the same

A sensible move.

I had a similar experience about 10 years ago. They questioned a similar thing where the binding on my passport had started to let go on the photo page. Separation was less than a centimetre. After much pleading they allowed my wife and I to pass through. On attempting to board the flight one of their staff pulled us aside and handed us an envelope full of Thai baht equivalent to the exact amount we had paid for our tickets and told us they wouldn’t be allowing us to fly because they may be subjected to a large fine by Indian immigration on arrival in India. My wife was offered the option of traveling alone if she wished. What a shambles. We then had to cough up for a return flight to Chiang Mai where we were living at that time.

The perils of posting on social media.

Pretty poor reporting. Not a single detail on what the three records are that he is trying to create. Quite typical though.

I remember when they were in the top 10 or 20.

This piece of trash will not be accepted in a UK jail. If I were him I’d be very very worried if he is kept in general circulation.

That would require a set of Kahunies.

I can concur. No matter what the occasion you always seem to find a high proportion of drunken participants and at this type of festival it’s a bad mix. When you’re as drunk as some of the people I’ve witnessed, safety is not front and centre. I wouldn’t let it deter me from experiencing the spectacle but do so with a little caution.

Yes, it’s quite likely a modification on many taxis if it’s an easy fit which I’d say is quite likely. I doubt he’s the only one using it. Well done the policeman.

I’m sure they have the resources to make the transition

There isn’t a lot that can be said in his defence.

Don’t know how many experienced pilots out there are looking for temporary positions flying for the airlines. They may need to offer something more substantive.

Nice gesture. Hopefully the Thai guy has learnt a life long lesson and is not so forthcoming in parting with his money in future.

These are probably little fish. If a wider net was cast I wonder who else would be redeemed. I don't believe this operation could have thrived for so long without the help of some bigger fish in positions able to aid and abet the process.

I can see this bottle necking the Thai postal system. BIG TIME.
