Looks like none of those steps would involve the police getting off their backsides and doing something almost useful....

I thought vaping and all that was illegal everywhere in Thailand... so why then single out schools?

avenging what???

At least he won't have to pay his sex partners if he's in prison..... they'll give it to him for free.... hmmm if secret service has to be with him, even in prison, does that mean they'll be watching if he gives himself a tug? Asking for a friend....

Oh joy they will dig up every road in Pattaya. Don't expect to drive anywhere for the next 5 years,

yes, but just think how it will "enhance the city's image and improve the quality of life for its residents."

Maybe not in your lifetime, but sometime in the indefinite future....

"This incident marks another grim reminder of the dangers posed by" driving under the influence, police never stopping drunk drivers or for  other moving violations....

I consider myself a rational Buddhist. The banning of alcohol sales because it is a "sacred day" strikes me as counter to the teachings of self responsibility and discipline. It is easy to forego some damaging behavior (drinking) when there is nothing available to drink. The ban takes away the individuals decision making and follow through to abstain. It's like if I swore off sleeping with Angelina Jolie: easy to do, no sacrifice as she was never on the menu.

And of course, we once more have the tyranny of the majority: no exceptions on booze ban for Christians, Muslims, Jews, Jains, Hindus, atheists, satanists, Jehovah's witnesses.... anyone and everyone

If your religion says "don't drink" and you want to follow it, then don't drink. As they say here & should apply "Up to you".

I was kind of hoping they'd open a Red Lobster, or at least a Red Robin...

Sorry, how old are you? This is simply a nonsense post in regards to the death of a person fighting for a cause. She fought with her life. Puerile comments show quite a lot about the type of person who posts them.

You can have your opinion.Nonsense was the view that AN members are lower because we haven't given our lives. And I assume being alive is a requirement of being an AN member, or at least one that can post.

I'm sorry she died... that wasn't her intention I assume. Doesn't make her sacrifice any less. Could I get in trouble if I posted my view on that law? It would not be in support....

It matters not that the subject was once a cashier.... I was wondering if somehow 40 mill had been in the till.... I've heard of deep pockets but oye...

That's more than can be said for any AN members.

 

bob.

Well, if any AN members had given their life for what they believe in, wouldn't it be rather difficult for them to be a member and post? Asking for a friend....

Good idea to hold conference in a country that has a snowballs chance in heck of getting into a world cup. Neutral ground and all that: "The Switzerland of world football."

"I wouldn't be paranoid if all these people weren't out to get me...."

"Even paranoids can have real enemies"

Should read

Thai (rulers) U-Turn on Cannabis

What did he steal? A ring back from Russian gf? Sounds like a real bottom feeder regarding intelligence level on his part

A slang term for lawyer is "mouthpiece" and I reckon quite apt in this situation

"...Pattaya police carried out surprise inspections on May 1st."

Surprise everyone and station a couple of cops down there every night. "You may say I'm a dreamer...."
