    At a guess, things that they could refuse to payout on related to motorbike accidents: No helmet. Intoxicated (had been drinking or high) at the time of the accident (according to a medic). Riding a motorcycle for which you're not licenced (Riding a 750cc or 1,000cc bike when your licence only covers you up to 125cc). In my many years in Thailand I almost always managed to avoid riding on motorbikes anyway, too risky.

    It can sometimes be hard to know how old Thai people are, men or women. I think more so than falang people.

    It was, no one takes any notice of it. Another thing being, I once knew a girl in BKK who looked 14'ish, when according to her I'D card she was 31.

    The D M is more targetted at a female readership, but has really always been a right-wing publication.. If you want woke you read The Inedependent, which hasn't been 'independent' for a very long time.

    I remember going in girlie bars in Soi Cowboy where a sign at the door said "No Guns, No drugs, No one under 20 years old".

    Likewise, and I lived there for 20 years.

    I suspect he gets all aroused when she dresses up as a schoolboy.

    Take the last 3 letters of human, and the last 3 letters of nature, put them together, what do you get?

    ... is nonsensical????

    Your comment in nonsensical????

    Or the UK. It's much easier for Thailand (and Australia) to deport these people cos they aren't signed up to the ECHR. Their governments never signed away their sovereignty.

    From what I have read no name is given?

    The price paid for visa-free travel. Many of these people would've been weeded out by a visa system that does a criminal record check, many would be crims where they come from. An old acquaintance and long term resident admits that he used to deal heroin in America, he's now a school teacher in Thailand.

    You need to let her know who the boss is!????

    In 1986 I went on a dy trip from HK through Macao to Shenzhen/China. We had lunch in a very nice hotel, but the grinding poverty away from there was obvious.

    What I often noticed at Swampy, first is the big sign saying "Welcome To Land Of Smile". The secong thing was that you would occassionally/quite often get a smile from a female I O, you would pretty much never get a smile from the (surly) male ones.

    A sterling-effort, well done that man. I think the best I've heard of was 12 years????

    You conveniently forgot to mention that accidents are mentioned.

    Yes I remember reading that article with a friend when it was first published, had a larf???? There are rumours that these places will be knocked down a decade before they are, Nana Plaza being another. Someone tells me that the Beer Garden Soi 7 meets the wrecking ball in July.

    You sound a bit 'geographically-challenged' there Ryan. Soi 22 is maybe 1km from Cowboy. That was my 'stomping ground' for 20 years.

    Many years ago the Australian authorities announced that Thailand was the overseas country where the most Australians had died in the previous year. The most common causes of (premature, mostly younger people) death: Drowning Illicit drugs Alcohol Motorbike accidents (Not necessarily in that order).
