Where the heck are the much vaunted Pattaya Police? Protectors of tourists 100 per cent? Near entrance to Walking Street, not some back alley. Maybe they were off taking group photo?

How about doing these things 24/7 every day of the year? Dumb question, right.... "The five primary measures being enforced are: 1. Prevention of road accidents 2. Reduction of accident risk factors 3. Multi-agency collaboration 4. Strict law enforcement 5. Raising public awareness on road safety"

But you'd still be dead.... or would you be happy you're dead, not having to be alive in same cycle as her?

Bring back the good old days of godless communism (Satan is part of that whole racket)!

Of course Hitler had fun. People simply have widely varying views on what constitutes "fun". Don't have to approve or disapprove, just what is, is... or was, was... Idi Amin (recent Hitler wannabe) used to have prisoner couples engage in sex, saying if did well he would release them. They complied and then he killed them anyway. Not my idea of fun, but fair to assume was his idea of fun

10th amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Trump said he would be dictator for just the first day.... this keeps dragging on and on with his "executive orders". Republicans raised holy heck over Biden's exec orders... 60 in first 90 days. Trump just passed 100 and the content has been off the charts. Shame on the Republican jellyfish Congress: no balls and no backbone. But as far as states setting pollution standards, already settled: "Feb 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Thursday to place on hold a dispute over California's standards for vehicle emissions and electric cars even as President Donald Trump's administration considers policy shifts that touch upon pending litigation at the nation's highest judicial body. The justices denied the administration's request to pause further action in the case, as well as two cases concerning which courts may hear challenges to EPA rules. The justices previously agreed to take up these cases but have not yet heard arguments in them." https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/04/09/court-reaffirms-californias-longstanding-right-to-fight-vehicle-pollution/

Rename the section "Darwin Bend"

Well, give him credit for not wanting to use some pop gun. The right tool for the right job, eh? 🙂

Maybe just refer to offender as "she-it"?

Now that would be a bottomless pit, a black hole, a never ending task

Look at that romantic setting in the photo... who could possibly resist the urge? Nothing says "I'm ready" like being naked on harsh concrete.

I think the topic is coffee, and that wouldn't include whatever those bags of chemicals happen to be. 😉

ah those mototaxi drivers, pillars of the community. I've seen Thai motorcycle drivers pull over on Jomtien Beach road an pee on a fence or empty lot more times than I can count I guess "peeing on public area" is one of those restricted occupations

You all are being to harsh: all that expensive furniture and such was to provide samples of ways money could be corruptly spent. Train those young investigators what to look for...

"Rung Rueang Company bus, route 389-3" Pretty sure that is just bus ID number... all of them numbered 389-something. Take that bus whenever I want to go to or from Bangkok... as far as I know they only have one route from Jomtien to the airport....

All you messed up Brit, Aussie, German, etc etc can just weep at America once more showing its might by setting the bar on losers lower than whale spit.

No one was living at that uncompleted government business office.... so no one lost accomodation I've heard no reports of any condos, hotels, etc damaged so much as to be unusable. So what is this about giving rooms to 200 people (out of a population of maybe 17,000,000)?

"Authorities eventually brokered a deal requiring the foreigner to pay only 300 baht for the journey, which the driver contested, citing the initial 4,000 baht agreement given the five-hour trip. " 300 baht is way too little 4000 baht way too much Five-hour trip is off by at least 3 hours, probably more, given that it was 5:30 am. author never taken a trip from Pats to Swampy?

And the Thai girlfriend? Is there some law about 'aiding an abetting' in Thailand?

This one is ready for the court circus: time for the Big Top! (bit of a stretch, but my therapist says I should post this sort of stuff rather than let it fester inside...)

Have the police arrested accomplice Panya?

Right. Like moving a $20 bill from my left pocket to my right.... look how much I've gained!

Someone tell me with a straight face that the Republicans aren't doing the very same thing, as they should. Signs everywhere regarding Trumps senility and his physical health is no one's envy

Disney is a private company and as long as they don't violate laws, can do whatever DEI thing they want. If they want to "go broke by being woke", that is their choice. A true conservative believes gov should keep out of private businesses and private behavior as much as possible: it is none of the governments damn business. Fascists however believe the gov should be in on every sort of behavior and or thought: all are there to serve those in power. sadly many posters here think they are conservatives when they are fascists in reality

Maybe she has a "Kan do" attitude? sorry... well, not really...
