When the fox is talking about peace, then the farmer should watch over his chicken. Look at Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan. The constant international pressure and tricks, used by China. Is that not enough to convince people that they should really be more than careful and prepare for a global future that does not look bright at all.

To introduce these fees because other countries do the same is not a reason. When other people jump from a bridge, I will not do the same. If they would use the entry fee for travel/health insurance during the stay in Thailand, then I could understand it, because too many times we see foreigners in Thai hospitals while begging for money on the internet. Departure fee: feels like having shopped in a mall, spent money everywhere and upon exiting the guard demands money before you are allowed to go out into the street; and if you do not pay you even go to jail!! They shoot a fly with a canon. Instead of a departure fee, people should be thanked for having injected money in Thai economy; give them a nice jasmin garland instead of grabbing money out of the guests pocket. Does not feel very welcome. Thailand needs tourism. These fees are not really helping to get a nice experience. My girl friend is from Laos, she has to go out of Thailand to extend her visa regularly We also travel to Laos several times a year. This means additional costs again.

Health insurance seemed insufficient. It is all a matter of choice.: you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Maybe go back to the UK and enjoy free health care? Anyway: feeling sorry for him, so speedy recovery!

Good to have friends who care and warn the public. Hoping that the man will return in good shape.

2 different things: - the scheme can work out well for some persons; they might be more careful; - you are absolutely right: driving lessons in a car park is a joke; nice for a start to get used to a car, after that they need hours of practice on real roads with a good driving instructor in a car with dual controls.

Agree, but let them have their lunch break.

It is so easy to condemn the woman. But the poor man should not have been there without any safety measures at that time when it happened. This was asking for problems. The lady came around the corner, maybe looking at the sides for possible obstructions, one second not looking right in front of her, the man not visible because he was working from a very low position and possibly the hood was already blocking the view. He should not have been there. Blame him and the lack of safety measures!

Maybe better to speak for yourself only. Not for me! These types deserve: pay for damage, fine for vandalism, deportation and place on the blacklist. We can miss them. And if you are of the same sort, then please get out together with your friends. Thank you.

.............and a war criminal. There should be a new kind of Nuremberg trial for him and his Russian mob. Very bad to have blind eyes for their atrocities.

Also being a man you can start. Good luck.

Yeh and prime minister or generals even make more money. IF you would have daughters, you would recommend them to start working in the prostitution industry??
