Update: British teacher arrested for sexual assault in Thailand
Thai people does care when something like this happens. But they have a different approach to it. Wish the "Ped" bad luck will backfire on you and Karma will send back luck to you in double. That's why Thai people will never wish you bad luck. They let Karma get the guy.

Veteran actor Kraison Saenganan defrauded of 7 million baht in investment scam
The problem with LINE accounts is that they are tied to a phone number. A friend of mine, who has several factories in Indonesia, gets a new phone card every time he is in thailand. He also makes every time a new LINE account to be in contact with his wife and children. After a few months, the phone card is simply thrown away. Somebody else gets the old phone card, but will be registrered in LINE under my friends name. LINE is a real mess and about time to ditch that application.

The LINE app is used by a lot of scammers because it is not controlled by anybody. Even most scammers on Facebook are asking "Permission" to chat in LINE as in Facebook they can be reported.

Teenage murder prompts debate in Thailand: Should kids face adult punishments?
Not only in Thailand, but the whole world over. If you look at kids today, parents are both working full time to get ends meet (according to their lifestyle). Most students are not smarter than an amoeba, despite going to high school/university. They spend their time being an activist for the green movement. That is the sign of the times.

Teenage murder prompts debate in Thailand: Should kids face adult punishments?
Young delinquents should face the full extent of the law, but should not be jailed in the same prisons as the adults. That would only create more crime and criminals. In my country, and most of the western countries, juvenil delinquents are jailed in a rehabilitation centre. Shielded from the adult criminals. Only in murder cases, where the murder is maybe additional agrevated, the minor delinquents should be jailed in a high security prison and their release from prison bound the severe details.

Thai man rapes daughter and stepdaughter, mother turns blind eye
While I agree with most of the posts here, the 1st thing to consider by the judges is the well-being of the children and their children. Put them both in a maximum security prison and let them work in prison to give their children a good life, IMHO.

Thai teachers pierce lips of 36 kids over gum mischief
VERY widespread, and this will not change soon. The kids will be forced to take the blame and everything will be forgotten (after paying the BIB a filled brown envelop). Sad, but true. I know a 12 years old kid who was hit with a can by the teacher several times on his back. His parents pressed charges against the school. But after an "Interrogation" the boy admitted to have teased the teacher and refused to lesten to the teacher. The teacher offered a "Wai" and everything was back to normal. The education system in Thailand is rotten to the core and only a complete haul can change that.

Thai father attacks suspect who sexually assaulted his daughter
Dumb, Dumb, Dumb Now he faces a jail term and/or a fine for attacking the presumed Pedo. If he had killed him, preferable kicked life out of the pedo by a group of friends, he would be walking scott free.

Brit claims being abducted, Pattaya raid uncovers drugs, guns
So, how did they manage to get an extension of stay? Or were they staying in the country on a very low budget which dried-up quickly? Happy 3-year extension in jail.

Low blood pressure
I go every month to the military hospital to check my blood and get my medication (kidney specialist). First, the nurses measure my blood pressure and my pulse with the usual machines. Every time I have a high blood pressure. When it is my turn to visit the kidney doctor, he measures my blood pressure with a stethoscope, and my blood pressure is normal. I don't trust the machines anymore. I have an appointment next week and will discuss the matter with him. In the mean time no change of medication or food habits.

Low blood pressure
I check my Blood Sugar lever every day and write the results in an Excell file with a link to a second page with the details of the food and drinks I took that day. I have been able to get my Blood Sugar to an acceptable level and cancel my Blood Sugar medicine. But I rarely checked my Blood Pressure at home (despite that I have a good Blood Pressure device).

Low blood pressure
A few days ago, I was at the hospital for the extraction of a tooth. As usual, they took my temperature, Pulse and Blood pressure prior to the extraction. The reading was 135/45. The dentist adviced me to go to see a Cardiolog ASAP as 45 was way too low. He adviced me also to eat more salty foods to make my blood pressure go up a little bit. After all these years, avoiding salt intake and taking a lot of medication to get my blood pressure down, I was adviced to eat salty food again. Something sounds wrong here.

Indonesian National Arrested in Thailand for Forex Investment Scam and Overstaying
If the RTP would be looking for all the THAI scammers on Facebook and other Social-Media (ie fake Driver Licences) I would have some admiration for them. But knowing that the RTP will never waste their time on rolling up the Thai scammers, my admiration for the RTP is below 1 Degree Kelvin.

Should I close my Thai bank accounts?
FWIW, a few years ago I wanted to close a bank account which I barely used. I was told by the girl at the desk that it cost more (fees) to close the bank account than rather take everything out of that account, but leave 100 baht on that account. So, I followed the advice of the girl and the account is still open.

Is changing the age of criminal responsibility in Thailand wise
Thailand being Thailand, this would only lead to further inequality between citizens. Kids of a Policeman or kids from a well-known whatever will always duck the law in Thailand. Only kids from poor people (and their parents) will foot the bill for their actions. Before imposing such a law, make everbody be punished for their crimes.

Aussie woman zaps back to life after electrifying encounter with deadly jellyfish near Koh Pha Ngan
A few years ago, I was at Dontan beach (Jomtien) when a young child was sting by a Jellyfish. We brought the boy to the emergency cabin on the beach and they called directly an ambulance. While waiting for the ambulance, a 1st aid guy from the cabin prepared a mixture of plant leaves that were cultivated at the cabin and applied it on the Sting area. The next day I meet the same tourists and apparently the boys life was saved by the mixture.
