The butler did it. It’s obvious. 

Little vehicle gives way to big vehicle. Law of self preservation. 

Especially on tight bends. 

I just hope he wasn’t connected. Scum

Insurance companies lack a soul and mostly respond in this manner. It’s in their genes. 

Having said this I must confess back in 2015 I had a very good experience with my credit card insurance policy whereby they paid my late wife’s medical bills and business class flights back home with an accompanying doctor. 

This was paid after the event and without me making any arrangements with them prior. It was an afterthought on my part to make a claim and the insurance was paid much to my surprise. 

FYI credit card was a Citibank platinum visa. 

He shouldn’t have spoken against the ruling family in Bahrain. That wouldn’t sit well with the Thai mindset. 

I wish him the best going forward

And did anyone really expect anything different out of the Thai government?  

No.

10 Indians, 24 Thai's?....Who lured who?

The numbers were 30/30. 

24/10 represents those so far arrested. It’s in the article.

I'm really failing to see the crime here.

 

His only crime is not inviting the mayor into the money making scheme. It’s what mayors do best. Rort the system like it’s a milking cow. I’ve seen it all too often.

Somehow the maths doesn't work here.

 

That's 500g of rice and 0.05 of a mango per guest. You could possibly smell the mango on the rice.

Or to make it even easier to comprehend that’s 1 mango for each 10 kg ( bucketful) of rice. Perhaps we could call it sticky rice with essence of mango. For those who have a sensitive nose.

Perhaps 50,000 mangoes would be more appropriate.

Yes statements can be obtained at small cost for passbook accounts and expect with bank signature can be used - banks are starting to issue statement only accounts here so they know what they are.

This is true in my case as well.  Few hundred baht and they give 12 months worth of statements on A4 pages. 

It’s all the fault of that pesky policeman who got in the way of a  Ferrari. He’s the one who caused all this. 

Sacking a policeman?? Now we’re in uncharted territory 

If they put the same energy and focus on the other 94% of the economy this place would boom. 

The amount of attention given in the media for what I believe to be 6% of Thailand’s economy is massively disproportionate and highlights the Thai fetish for image and face saving. 

If the luring of cheap tourists is the major priority then these jokers are not doing their jobs. 

5’6” is almost 6’5”. Producer or director must have been dyslexic.

Thailand are ranked 60th in the world for suicides so no need for the panic just yet !! 

But how do the stats hold up if you only look at suicides of non Thai persons residing here. Would that number of 60 increase or decrease I wonder?

Transferwise is the one I’ve settled on. They charge $3.75 transfer fee and 0.6%. They pay out on the actual rate at the time you accept to make the transaction. Rate is updated in real time until you accept then is locked. 

I recently transferred 5400Aud and paid a total of $35+ but got the official rate. There may be other providers but this is the best I’ve found and don’t get fleeced like the banks do to you. 

Pretty sure I recognise her. The black hair is a dead give away. 

Is there a reward?

I could have sworn BJ had moved into an immigration role. He keeps popping up all over the place. He certainly has a knack for making the front page. 

An oxygen thief and a wasted skin best describes this character. At the very least he does not deserve to see the light of day again but this will only happen if he chooses not to confess otherwise he gets a 50% discount. 

Give him 20 years for the hat

I’ve done CM to Khon Kaen then a bus up to NK. Went via Phitsanulok. Went overnight both ways. Pretty sure similar is available to Udon.

Fair old slog but I survived.
