I've seen Caucasians and Asians chatting up ladyboys and some even going away together. Therefore, interest in ladyboys is not limited to just Indian men. And from the look of things, it seems this chap wasn't interested in one either.

I am sure the sentence would've been much harsher if the defendant did not drive a Porsche and does not have a 'Pol Capt' prefix to his name. Life is cheap here, and that's to their own kind! The dirty falangs and foreigners don't stand a chance! Be extra vigilant when out and about here, and pray that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a runaway freight train coming your way at full speed.

is the only reaction to the scam in question.

Predictable response to a lowly scam. But go on - debate, propose and rescind all you want. It's nice to see you guys trip over each other like some clumsy bumbling clowns.

All these unnecessary deaths caused by drunk drivers, mobile devices-yielding motorists and gun-totting psychopaths should be stopped. But who can stop it? There is no will from any party to enforce the law, beyond the sporadic knee-jerk reactions and some empty vows in response to some random events. Otherwise it's just another day in Thailand. The RTP? They're capable of zilch. Nyet. Nada. The square-root of jack. Us foreigners can't do much beyond the usual ranting in Asean Now. But surely the Thais must be tired of all this happening to their countryfolks? Don't they want to see a stop to this? It could happen to any of their loved ones and when it does, it's already too late.

Oh do they? You mean like how the RTP are using a pretty-faced Lt-Col as a picture caption to front their news to gain the trust of the unwary?

Go for it. A good tourist destination should have something for everyone.

Whatever happened to ban on travelling in back of pick-ups? Exactly the same thing that happened to bans/rulings on helmets, seat belts, DUI, using mobile devices while driving, speeding, riding on pavements, driving/riding against flow, parking etc. etc. - you name it. What happened to all that? Basically nothing. The square-root of jack! Lest one forgets, TiT. When they vow to crackdown on this and enforce that, that's all they are doing - vowing. It's basically hot air. Nothing will happen. When something does happen, the knees will jerk a little, then 'mai bphen rai' and 'sabai sabai' will kick in and everything will be back to 'normal'.

Chinese? I thought they were barred from leaving their motherland. Or was this lot remnants of the COVID exodus who missed the boat home?

One of the most stupid and laughable scams I've come across.

I believe he knows what he's doing/getting himself into. Swimming across the CP and back isn't so much the issue, as opposed to the level of pollution in it. Still, I do hope it all ends well and he does get the funding to help flood victims.

So there is more time for the brown clowns to conduct more raids, collect more tea money and harass more tourists. No, scrap the last one. They just promised to be committed to the protection and welfare of tourists. Damn and blast.

This is all a part of the new promise and commitment to the protection and welfare of tourists, I assume.

You gits can't find the sun in broad daylight. Never mind finding 100+ guns sold to anonymous buyers in the 'next few days'. What a laugh.

Pot. Kettle.

It's a personal choice. Wear it if you want to, ditch it if you don't. No need to make it into a 'national agenda' and certainly no need to preach about it. Move on, please. 'Na-rak' you're certainly not. "Ootja-rak' (อุจจาระ) more like.
