Seems not !

Sounds interesting for a short stay!

R.I.P for a senseless death!

Careless in every direction?

Quality tourists sought and obtained?!!

If you are not planning on driving that speed again, why does it matter where the camera is located ? Just don't exceed 120 Kph !

Why should there be an objection to 6 separate Visa exempt entries as long as the person is not working and they are not back to back?

Thank you Saan for an excellent summary!

What a lot of cynical comments! My TGF comes from a perfectly good family, has a good job and owns a large house, new car etc. I spend time between the U.K and LOS, and we take holidays together, usually within Asia, and we are perfectly happy. Marriage? I don't know! Things are perfectly O.K as they are, but what the future holds, has yet to be decided. Age difference? She is just slightly younger than my eldest daughter in the U.K. but it doesn't make the slightest difference to us, but then I do work and specialize in Anti-aging Medicine (AAM). I think the other important consideration is that we are also best friends, and both working in different aspects of the medical profession, means that we can talk to each other and have common ground!

NickJ is quite right!

What precautions are in place?

Oh dear!

Someone has to pay for it ! Guess who ?!!

Education on the whole is below par but there is little will to do anything about it. Certainly in my 31 years of coming to LOS, the standard of English has deteriorated atrociously. The other day I was at an Airport bookshop, Asia Books, which specializes almost exclusively in books written in English. There were 2 male assistants who failed to speak or understand a single word of English - aged in their 20's. I tried for 10 minutes to explain about my Asia Books / Bookazine discount card and how they could check my number on the computer, but I might as well have been talking some unheard of foreign language, as they hadn't even the first clue about their own Company's discount card! Surely it would not cost much more to at least employ staff who spoke at least a smattering of English?

Haven't seen any lately!

They certainly are looking at passports with a lot of Thai entry stamps, and are querying the purpose of so many visits, but in my experience have not denied entry. I do not exceed 30 days on a Visa Exempt, but have a lot of them, and am wondering if it is time to get a fresh passport?!

Not really newsworthy !

Extremely tragic. R I P

Disasterous, but let's wait for some actual facts first?

A real tangible problem requiring real action!

A real tangible problem requiring real action!

Tragic accident. Koh Phanghan does have two hospitals and is slightly nearer. About time a helicopter service was on hand for such emergencies!

Just arrive in smart casual dress. Money is always the right thing to give, in the envelope usually provided, whether a village wedding or a formal one at a 5 Star hotel. I once succumbed to a dare, and arrived in kilt and sporran, only to be hauled out on to the stage in front of well over 1,000 guests and had to make a speech. Everyone clapped but few understood a single word, I suspect !

I think that he will go for the maximum 96 page passport !

Howe does the question of whether he had a Licence or not, only arise AFTER there is a death?
