  1. I was in Terminal 21 on Saturday afternoon. Had no idea it had even happened.
  2. On my way home after going to Tops on the corner Sukhumvit 41 this morning. Saw an old Thai woman on the ground screaming that a guy had a knife and had tried to stab her. The guy then turned round and came back towards us. Then another woman came over to say her friend had been stabbed by him a bit further back down the street. So myself and a bunch Thai street vendors jumped him and beat the <deleted> of him. Most likely high on drugs as despite giving him a good kicking and a lot of boots to the face and head, he kept getting up to fight back and get away. Police took an absolute age to arrive and didn't even cuff him. Worth noting the guy was a foreigner (his language sounded Russian), most likely homeless and with drug/mental health issues as he was walking around barefoot and was filthy. I also saw him yesterday around Phra Khanong bts rambling to himself. The woman had been stabbed 3 times in the back of her thigh and he'd punched her around the face. She was eventually taken to hospital. Annoyingly, when I had him face down on the ground with my knee on his back to stop him getting back up, I had people yelling at me to get off him and let him up. Even had an old Thai guy threatening to fight me and pushing me off him because, 'I was hurting him'.
  3. Why are they deserving of respect? They didn't respect themselves, each other, the train driver or the passengers who had their journey delayed because they were impatient morons.
  4. Be honest, who went straight on X / twitter and searched for @jinjia?
  5. So basically it's a security camera stuck inside a shop mannequin. Thailand 4.0? Not quite.
  6. Why do I never see things like this when I visit Pattaya?
  7. The government must be so proud to receive one of these.
  8. Damn right. That's how Rik Mayall mwt his demise. Legend.
  9. 312 electoral votes vs 226 77.3 million votes in total vs 75 million. Definitely looks like a majority to me.
  10. Riiiight. Because the RTP conduct themselves with absolute professionalism and have a high standard of morals. They would never dream of doing something so corrupt and unethical. Unfortunately that reality is from some other multiverse.
  11. "Police declined to provide details about the arrest." Sounds suspicious. Either they planted the drugs on him as a way to extort him but as he's only 20, he's not likely to have much and therefore they had to follow through with the arrest. Or they were informed by their dealer" friend" that he had just bought some and arrested him in the hope of extorting him but as he's only 20...
  12. Thais outraged that a foreigner might be filming them, but they find it perfectly acceptable to take photos and videos of my blond-haired kids without my permission.
  13. The foreign guy should pursue defamation claims against the person posting the video. It's about time this law was used correctly.
  14. Bravo to the Bangkok Governor. Such a hero. If this governor job doesn't work out for him, he'll be pleased to know he can get a job on a farm closing stable doors after the horses have run off.
  15. My friend was hit with the exact same scam a couple of years ago. Told she wasn't allowed to even tell her husband or they'd both be arrested and her kid thrown into care. Looking back, it's absurd but at the time it was absolutely terrifying for her. Fortunately she didn't pay. I'm sure I get many scam calls but once I come out with, "Eh up mate, do ya speak English?" they put the phone down.
  16. These scammers are incredibly convincing. My half Thai, half English friend was almost caught out by the exact same scam. She called bs on it at the beginning but they had copies of her Thai passport and ID as well as knowledge of her Thai bank accounts. They knew where she worked and showed her an arrest warrant and court case documents with her name on it. These documents had the official stamp on them and when our workplace lawyers took them to a judge, he said they were absolutely legit until he noticed that the case number didn't make sense. They sent her to a clone website representing the courts where she was able to view the case against her. She even had a video call with the caller who was dressed in official police uniform and could see other "police officers" in the background. They were threatening her with arrest at work and that they would take away her kid. All of this caused a huge amount of stress and panic and in situations like this, you don't think clearly. So not all victims a greedy or stupid.
  17. When I read it, I thought it was the guy's pornstar name.
  18. I've sent you a PM. I should also add, the service works best when connected through a VPN. I use Nord.
  19. See screenshot from my service provider. This could be the reason. FWIW I pay £60/year and get excellent service. Have multiple versions of each channel (4kUHD, FHD, FHD 50fps, HD & SD). Plus the usual abundance of movies and series. HD Prime is absolute garbage compared to this service. In addition, also has live football from every league match in the English and Scottish pyramid.
  20. I just completed this quiz. My Score 0/100 My Time 1164 seconds  
  21. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 55 seconds  
  22. This reminds me of the time I visited Korat to run the marathon. Got there a few days before and decided to see what sort of night life it had. Met a couple of girls in a bar and they suggested we go to a beer bar type place with live music. A few hours later our table size had grown from 3 of us to around 20. All ordering bottles of whiskey and I could see that nobody was paying for drinks as they were ordered. I joined in the fun for a few more hours but at the front of my mind was the knowledge that I would eventually be stuck with this huge bill. So I did what any self respecting guy would do... I went to the toilet, slipped out the side door and with a smug grin, stumbled back to my hotel.
  23. Anybody got a link to the uncensored video?

    Christ Church at the corner of Sathorn Road and Convent Road is your best bet. That's a Church of England church. There's also Holy Redeemer Catholic Church on Soi Ruamrudee close to Ploenchit BTS.
