If you can’t swim please at least wear a life jacket. This could have been avoided. RIP

Suspect's Family Offers Million-Baht Bribe for Heroin Dealer's Release
There probably was 2 million baht there but they only claimed it was 1 million baht. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Crackdown in Jomtien, Pattaya, nabs over 50 for drug offences
900 police officers for 1 area in Jomtien? I guess the rest of the city had an easy night. Too bad they couldn’t use the 900 police officers spread across all of Pattaya to help traffic control, prevent snatch and grabs, street whores, the drunk driver’s and the fights. Maybe it was just a 1 night job that they had to do. I guess we are asking too much of them to work every night.

Teen Pregnancy Sparks Family Feud at Thai Hospital: Legal Battle Looms
Amazingly she didn’t cry sexual abuse until after the birth and the fight. Just a young girl and family upset about the money. No real thought about the poor child. This will not be a happy ending for any of them.

Russian Tourist, 60, Falls Victim to Gold Necklace Theft by Cunning Duo in Pattaya
I’m sure they’ll be shocked to find out that it’s gold plated when they try to pawn it off. Another reason Thailand is attracting less visitors. Word of mouth about how unsafe it can be.

Japan dethrones Thailand as top tourist spot
Thailand is on a slippery slope downhill. Infrastructure sucks, garbage everywhere, violence is rampant, dirty beaches, water and people trying to scam tourists any way they can. Sad, but true. If they don’t do anything about it they will definitely lose even more tourists. They need to wake up and get rid of these problems and not just focus on more events.

Hot/Cold kitchen sink mixer tap
I have had hot/cold faucets in the bathrooms and in my kitchen for 20 years. Just have to go to ThaiWatsadu, Boonthavorn, Mega Home or Home Pro to have a look. Best to see the options and prices.

O. Henry: The Gift of the Magi. The saddest Christmas story of all time?
There are Christmas songs playing on the radio and in most shopping centers with Big Christmas trees and decorations all over Pattaya. Plus all of the people dressing up like Santa and especially his wife. The Thais have really gotten into it in the past 10+ years here in Pattaya at least. Either you’re living in the sticks or not getting out of your home.

Former NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey Accused of Years-Long Sexual Misconduct: An "Open Secret"
Maybe She wanted a raise and more money and did what she did to get it. Now that she has it she doesn’t want anything else to do with him. He’s still a scumbag for doing this, especially with 2 other ladies. He’s toast and she should be ashamed for interfering with the other ladies who were doing the same. She should have reported this a long time ago and especially after she had to keep the other ladies apart. I think he should lose his job and her pay goes down to what it should be. What a messed up situation.

Devastating Fire Destroys Life Savings of Elderly Couple in Surin
I don’t trust the banks here with a lot of money either, but have a huge fireproof safe for my valuables. Sad they lost it all, but could have been avoided. Hope they find a way to rebuild.

Inside the White House Interview with 50 people; Shielding Biden from The Public Eye
Well we will just have to wait and see how Trump does in a couple of years. Old age sucks.

Three-Vehicle Collision Leaves 8 Injured, 2 in Critical Condition
Unfortunately this is what it takes for them to do anything about the problem. Obviously it’s been a problem for a long time.

Speeding Car Runs Red Light, Crashes Into Police Booth in Nong Chang
Well it got the police off their butts and outside. It’s very obvious that they don’t in general considering the car was just planning on zooming by, but got a we bit out of control. If they were active and patrolling the streets people wouldn’t dare speed by a police box.

Thai Court Rules Traffic Fines Can't Block Vehicle Tax Renewal
When will they ever learn? They wonder why people don’t care about driving laws. No repercussions for the drivers. What happened to the point system? 😂🤣 It never ceases to amaze me even after 20+ years. TIT

Thai Taxi Driver Assaulted by Foreigner in Pattaya, Seeks Justice
It’s right around the corner from me. In sure the owners are trying to stay out of the spotlight, as they are foreigners, and provided the police with the information they felt was necessary. They can’t afford to lose what little business that they have.

Naval officer accused of lewd acts with 18 cadets under investigation
I surely hope that they dismissed him without pay until the investigation is over. 18 kids are speaking up, but sure many others are scared to speak.

Man Wielding Axe Enters School, Causes Panic
Another reason why there should be at least one security guard at the schools. They are needed both inside and outside of the entrance these days.

Crackdown on properties owned thru shell companies ??
It tears its head every year for at least the past 20 years and nothing really comes out of it. Sure they are going after businesses and criminals but not so much for your average home owner.

Heroin addiction: Temple donation box thief arrested in Bangkok
3 strikes and you’re out. Hopefully they lock him up this time for a bit longer.

Thai woman accused of poisoning husband’s family with cyanide
Hope they lock this down before Ying flees and does it again. Her silence and actions speak louder than her words.

Thailand's Credit Card Industry Faces Toughest Test in 20 Years
Maybe they can start offering them to more foreigners that have income. I know some people have them, but sure many more would potentially apply. I’m glad they stopped giving everyone credit cards. Too many people here just run it up like it’s free money and make minimal payments if anything. I don’t blame them for tightening up.

Thieves Steal Gold & Cash Worth Over 1.5 Million Baht From Pattaya Apartment
Well now she has an excuse to tell her boyfriend about the loss of her gold and money so he can buy her some more and replenish the piggy bank. Something just seems off with this story. I’m sure she at least had it insured. Nah, probably not. That little safe was just great for complete security.

Villagers Alarmed as Wild Elephants Invade Village in Omkoi, Chiang Mai
They are following their natural path and now there are farms on their way. They have more rights than the farmers who stole their land. They should have realized this when they started and learned to live with the elephants and avoid them as needed.

Vietnamese Thieves Arrested in Thai Love Hotel After Crime Spree
Desperation following their legal tourist visa into the country. Hmmm. Maybe they should start looking there. 😩
