Unruly British man goes berserk on Bangkok-London flight (video)
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That would probably have involved dumping $XX,000 worth of fuel. Just a wild guess, but I suspect that the assailant had been drinking heavily before boarding the flight. -

To lower class Brits it's the bogs or the Khazi😁 -

I never fabricated anything. And Yes, I do quite miss living in Thailand. -

And they had to pass through immigration to do that. -

In the UK the immigration Dept is employing Indian nationals who are waving other Indians through Heathrow Airport and onto flights to Canada, where they claim asylum. -

Sex in a public place. Only lasts 90 seconds. (I expect they were p**sed at the time also!). I'm suspecting that it could be a few of my British compatriots up to their shenanigans again!😆 -
Thailand Adjusts Excise Taxes on Local Liquor to Boost Tourism
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What's do say that the tax cut will be passed on to the consumer (end user)? Probably be 'absorbed' by the manufacturer or vendor. -
Many years ago I think I wandered through some private property in Hua Hin, I only realised after the event, it also was a property that fronted onto the beach. There were no fences or signs so that you could tell, easy to do.

Swedish Man Arrested for Exchanging Counterfeit Money in Patong
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
When I used to travel to Cambodia a lot I used to only take $50 & $20 notes with me, never $100. Not sure if they didn't want 100's because it took so many smaller notes to change, or they didn't have sufficient smaller notes to change it, or worries about counterfeits. That's my tip for travellers to Cambodia, never take $100's with you. -

Irish mobster dodges law with escape to Thailand

When they're only killing each other at least it saves the cost of keeping them in prison? And they're obviously no longer selling their poison either. -
Tourists Advised to Bring US$417 Cash to Enter Thailand

This guy had no banking apps, no plastic, no cash, no gold....nada. No way whatsoever of getting/having money!🙂 -
Tourists Advised to Bring US$417 Cash to Enter Thailand
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A few years ago I watched a fly-on-the-wall documentary about immigration etc at Sydney Airport. A guy had arrived on a direct flight from Houston (I think) about 17 hours. It was found that he had no money whatsoever on him, and no way of getting any. He didn't even have the A$5 to get into Sydney on the bus. He was put on the return flight to Houston. I thought it was a bit bizarre that someone would do that! -

In the UK we're giving free money and accommodation to 'tourists', and there's nothing we can do to get rid of them. -

How long before he gets involved in the illicit drugs trade in Thailand and either gets shot or imprisoned? -
Foreigner Detained After Causing Traffic Disruption in Pattaya
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I had an old Scottish friend in Bangkok and had to sometimes translate for our American mutual friend.🙂 Wally was from the borders area, to my ear never had a 'thick' accent, as some from Glasgow do. I spent some time working in Australia, some of the young Ozzies I worked with had parents who had emigrated from the UK. They used to say mum & dad had Ozzie accents, but only when they weren't drunk, at which point they would revert to Geordie or Scouse or whatever, which their Ozzie kids (my colleagues) could imitate, very funny!😆 -
Foreigner Detained After Causing Traffic Disruption in Pattaya
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Timeline: Maybe 8 years ago Location: Asoke, near the juction with Sukhumvit Rd, BKK (in the vicinity of the Siam Society bldg). Event: Farang man walking down the street as naked as the day he was born. (His hands covering the 'crown jewels'). I saw many bizarre things during my years in Thailand but I think that was the most 'memorable'!😁 (His nationality not determinable). -
Health ministry’s alcohol curfew talks hit a hiccup
Andrew65 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When I first moved to Thailand in 1998 there were quite a few more bar-closure days than there are today. The King's birthday was one, maybe Constitution Day & Chakri Day also. Such days have actually been reduced in recent times.
