With all the ex SAS and Seals living in Pattaya i would have thought that there would have been a couple on board todeal with this idiot

Many years ago when I worked in Algeria one of our security guys had 'dealt with' and unruly passenger, I think on Virgin Atlantic, he was upgraded to business class on the return flight. He was ex-SBS, built like a brick ****house, but a really nice guy.

You would think the pilot would have returned to Bangkok for the safety of the passengers, at the very least for the aircrew member to be treated for his suspected broken nose. Can't have been nice flying twelve hours like that.

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.

I don't regard 58 as 'elderly'!

If you were to ask the average 17 or 18 year old they would describe 58 year olds as "like Methuselah!"😁. It's about 'perspective'!

Buses to and from gates are depends on the airline you fly with and not because of the airport.

The airlines have to pay extra if they don't use busses but the trunk.

Many years ago I used to fly on the 23:59 flight to Brisbane from Swampy. It was on a Thai B777, and we were bussed out to the plane, which I thought was a bit odd. More understandable if you're on a low-cost airline.

Glad to hear it.

 

So, why did you fabricate a lie about the BA employee working for UK immigration? Are you missing living in Thailand?

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

....and both he and his partner toddled off to India after being bailed......how the hell were they both allowed to travel abroad????

And they had to pass through immigration to do that.

Just a thought but you might want to keep your personal time record out of your dating profile.  

I've been known to last up to 5 minutes, I'll have you know!😁

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!😆

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.

These money changers scrutinise foreign currency pretty well. I tried with 4 different changers to exchange a USD100 note and they all rejected it for the same reason. A tiny print defect on the top edge. Even when it was mixed with other notes they all picked up on it and refused to accept it. The note was legit and the defect was hardly noticeable so it comes as no surprise this guy was apprehended 

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.

Correct.  This is Keane Mulready-Woods who was 17 when he was murdered.

More information on the murder in Belfast of one of those suspected in the killing of the teenager.  These people mean business.

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.

My wife was taken aside on a trip to Singapore from here. Asked to prove she had funds. Just opened her banking app and all was ok!

This guy had no banking apps, no plastic, no cash, no gold....nada. No way whatsoever of getting/having money!🙂

A bit off topic.

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!

How long before he gets involved in the illicit drugs trade in Thailand and either gets shot or imprisoned?

Somber truth:  Completely unrelated to the fact that Putin is terrified of going out like Gaddafi at the hands of his own people.

Somber truth: The invasion of Ukraine is pretty much the same as the illegal invasion of Iraq, a 'war of aggression'.

growing up all of my friends made fun of my parents. they called my dad marble mouth. i actually had to translate at times. they are both from glasgow but i was born in canada.

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!😆

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).
