Follow the rules like everyone else has to do. Very simple.

The police do not even show up for this type of theft in the UK and much worse. They solve less than 4% of house break-ins. At least Swiss police do respond and show up. The sad irony is that our values have stooped so low that we view these thefts as "so what"' and accept that nothing will be done. Its the thin edge of the wedge and as long as society continues accept it is now a norm, then the crimes will increase in volume and seriousness in countries where policing is lax.

No sympathy for those do not follow the immigration rules and think they can get away with it. They are the baseline "problem children" that in more ways than not reflects poorly on the overall reputation of foreigners who for the majority do comply consistently and appreciate the privilege of living and working in Thailand and which make this country their home.

Especially to another rich Thai? .... he is not poor by any standard.

Sounds like "Brexit" all over again. Or the Trump/Biden election. Or the Scottish independence vote. Its not a Thai phenomenon. It's an "I cant accept the democratic vote" problem until we get our way.

Some bring their bad habits with them. They aren't the only ones up to no good. This you can be sure of.

No problem with a ban on alcohol. By the same token, its a pity the authorities cannot exert some control on the mosques in the south and around Phuket that ignore the legal noise levels to announce prayer time at a deafening pitch in the early hours - to locals and tourists alike. Way above the legal decibels allowed for the time of day at the source of the multiple speakers.

Yellow card system for taxi driver complaints ... individual and company level .... if errant tourists get warned so should others.

ex-girlfriend!

Dinosaurs. Soon to be fossils.

A mishmash of information if ever there was ... least of all defining what a foreigner actually is ... my money is mainly illegal foreign workers.

I know how I view the reputation, driving habits and road attitude of Phuket minivan drivers, airport taxi and the islands tuk tuks.

Had to read it more than once to understand it ... singular, plurals and some other terms were a little confusing.

Anytime you hear a politician, anywhere, say "..but the change should be implemented gradually" .... actually means "never".

This is a litmus test for his ability to be PM. If he loses and then gets disqualified over a breach of very clear rules then he would unlikely be a capable leader to weather the ongoing onslaught of Thai politics for the next few years. If he left himself vulnerable like this at the start with all the legal advisors around him ... then it is a self-inflicted mistake. I hope not .... but you can yield no ground in this game.

Competition will eventually punch their proverbial ticket. Driverless cabs, on test and in use in other parts of the world will sort them out. No-one to intimidate or beat up. A robot on wheels powered by AI. Fast, efficient, safe and standard pricing. Sadly, it will take out a few "good guys" as well. It will be the end of the crazy van drivers as well. Two birds with one stone.

He lost his freedom the moment he took the life of another. He might not have been in prison since 2019 but his mind and every passing thought certainly has. On the run, always looking over his shoulder. No chance to meet to meet his daughter and now seemingly not in the best of health. His pigeons are coming home to roost.

Pity the UK does start the same initiative. Just add a few more colours to the already long winded operational title.

He should be smart enough to not make it "his issue" - rather a peoples issue. Draft key points and recommendations and then put it to a referendum. Let the people decide on a way forward - then he really is the peoples choice.....

Seems very hard to follow 2 simple self-imposed rules ......... 1. Get adequate insurance. 2. Don't do anything that risks breaking the insurance clause payouts ..... like riding a motor bike without a proper license and/or not wearing safety equipment .... both as required by the law .... I wish him a well in his recovery.

Hmmm ... I think I would keep any contentious political agenda like breaking the duopoly a little quiet until actually in power. There is no guarantee that Move Forward will secure leadership yet. Me thinks that the horse trading and double dealing has a long way to go and provocation is unlikely to help matters.

I think a lot of them are returning to Russia. There have been a real exodus since April.

There is trouble brewing ... no wonder the THB has lost ground rapidly.

It ain't boding too well for the cannabis supporters and trade .... most of the news are carrying consistent negative social news articles. Its a growing trend. This genie may be stuffed back into the bottle whence it came. Wait and see.
