There is not a NO SEATBELT sign to turn on. Only a SEATBELT sign to turn on. It should be on all flight in my opinion.

And as for the bogs, put a belt on that seat also. 

Yes, of course you are right. My typo.

[ “It was absolute carnage. There was no warning. We just fell into a freefall zone, and before we knew it, we were on the ceiling and then bang, on the ground.”]

From other reports it was stated that the "No Seatbelt" sign was turned on. What I have not seen however is any mentioning of for how long it was turned on before the major turbulence. Was it a few seconds or a minute? That makes quite a difference.

It was rented, not her home.

You can still insure your belongings, even in a rented accommodation.

Can't be very good for these engines sucking in all that crap, and the reduced oxygen IMO could lead to loss of power or even total  malfunction. 

"Reduced oxygen"? Where was this stated? 

I don't understand the logic in the complains about the Zero Dollar tours or now the EV investments. Assuming that all companies and service providers operate legally, then every local purchase will benefit the Thai economy as the companies have to be minimum 51% Thai owned.

I'm please to read that some one is taking action to restore the area to its former glory. It was an amazing place to visit and I'm sure many businesses in the surrounding areas benefitted. The area deserves to be kept "Alive". 

Great to see someone understanding the power of "role models", and taking it on herself. Well done.

Blue shirt and dark blue trousers, i think.

Thanks. Good to know. I'll check him/her out next time.

"The video drew negative comments from netizens who criticised the driver for overcharging the passenger and for not wearing a taxi driver uniform."

Is there a "Taxi driver uniform"? I've never seen one.

I see that police or rescue workers now wear clothing with Chinese on their jackets.

This organization, Poh Teck Tung , is based in Chinatown so makes sense.

"allegation by an online gambling web administrator"

I thought online gambling is illegal in Thailand. Or did I miss something here?

And how much "finder's fee" did the tourist pay the maid? Some token of appreciation would have been nice.

Not long ago I read that the residents of Koh Larn wanted to restrict the number of visitors to the island. Maybe the tourists listened?

You have that all along the beach, 5km of it. Why do you NEED it on the last km as well?

Yes, I do. I walk enough in Bangkok. Visiting Jomtien I want to relax and appreciate when the vendors come to me.  If I want to enjoy emptiness, I go to one of the islands instead. Others might prefer it differently.

No vendors, and I don't go there. The beauty of Jomtien beach has been that you rent a chair for the day and have all the food and drinks you want by just waving a hand in the air. The perfect relaxation. I have never seen the vendors there as a nuisance.

Probably because you don't understand. 

Let's see. Maybe I'll learn more as time goes.

If they now are very pleased with lower than expected accidents, which is a good sign, it would of course be interesting to know WHAT did they do different during these days compared with normal days. Finding the real cause  to these better numbers.

The post is just an excerpt from the original article from Birminham Mail, linked in said post. In the full article, it's stated: "After the accident, his family and friends successfully raised money to pay for his medical bills in Thailand."

Yes, but that's irrelevant to my original comment.
