you are wrong... they were not stopped. they passed without incident. even without helmets

Don't these 2 statements contradict each other? Surely, if they disciplined him when he misbehaves then he would have learned after many times that you do not talk to elderly this way. NO respect at all. The old man was wrong to slap the boy in the face.. But a good whack on his butt would have taught him to show respect. Perhaps it is the parents to blame because they allowed the boy to continuously speak badly to an old man. I know i would never allow my kids to do this. I can not see how this action is criminal though. Teachers in schools do far worse without any recourse.

Not so much of a strong message since almost 4 years have passed after the initial incident

They can not really be expected to bicker or complain.. The skimmed money is distributed already and no one would be expected to give it back. Now it does not matter what China sends them. At least this is the most logical thinking. Not fact.

so poppy is not a drug also? cocaine plants are not drugs?

Do not forget... they will allow you to keep your license to sell the alcohol so that way they do not need to compensate you for cancelling it and destroying your business.

really? So why can my wife call to ask the cost and they quote her thousands less than when i called speaking english and getting a quote? Perhaps you should try it sometime and see the difference

the act alone of what he is doing is in itself a political agenda to retaliate against the NACC for investigating him. So how can he say that is not his purpose? Also, was he not part of the NACC before? He is the pot calling the kettle black now? Why isn't he behind bars? Any normal person would have been arrested with the evidence they have and had to bail out of jail to still be walking around as a free man.

They do it for the money... all smiles when you are handing them some cash for overpriced products or service. Then as you turn your back they are complaining about the tourists... They sold themselves out to Russia and China and several other countries already for the baht. Why bitch about the consequences when they permitted it and even encouraged it to happen?

I would bet...You said absolutely the opposite when there was a case being sought against the Bidens for mishandling top secret documents and even emailing them on computers that were not protected from spying and with passwords a child could break.

I think if i came home to find my house was broken into and people living there. I would surely fly off the handle and physically remove them. Well within my rights as they broke the laws and were in my home illegally. Clearly, this man was fortunate to use social media to finally get police co-operation... Otherwise this story may have taken a nasty turn. i have a house in the mountains in the south. I am most sure if i came home from travels to find squatters have broken into my home to live there that they would be out on their arse that same day.. and maybe in the hospital instead.

I hope you are wrong about this.. I have appointment there in 2 weeks haha...

no, the reason it costs so much is because we are foreigners. DO you really think Thais could pay so much to have a better smile or working teeth? It is the same with the medical practices. They charge more to foreigners simply because they think we are all rich and willing to pay anything.

They might be good at teaching subjects... but not speaking. Their pronunciation is and always will be Asian. Intonations and speaking patterns taught incorrectly. I have seen many (qualified filipino teachers pronouncing words wrong. Many teaching whereas even I, standing outside their door could not understand half of what was being said. As well as many of my own students telling me i said something incorrectly because their filipino teacher told them differently. SO, I have to disagree with your assessment about filipino teachers. Although there are some that are good at subject teaching, the majority are the same as a Thai/English teacher with bad intonation and bad accents.

There are English speaking Dentist offices in Hua Hin that quote 25000 baht for implant.. I do not know where you were asking.. Perhaps you should check around more

that is reasonable for 1st world country.. maybe even 2nd world country.. but is very expensive for Thailand... How many Thais do you think could actually pay for even a crown?

perhaps the other driver kicked at him causing the accident... no-one can say for sure unless video footage can confirm it.

I would have to agree on this.... it is a dental hospital.. My daughter fell while running and shoved the tooth that was cracked up into the bone. They gave very good service but it was not easy to find doctors that spoke fluent english. broken english at best. The prices though would depend on how you went about it. They have experienced doctors teaching students. You can join their study group and become a patient that is used for teaching. You won't have students doing the actual work but instead they observe and learn what their teachers do. Or you can pay a little more and just see the doctors themselves.

pot calling the kettle black again huh... It looks like more than 10cm deep even with the little dirt taken out by the backhoe. They spend years digging this dirt up and making traffic miserable even for motorcycles. I wonder if that contributed to the hole sinking? Or perhaps washed away?

because in China.. The leader is beyond exemption for being corrupt. Here the leader also worries if the corrupt accuse him then he will get into trouble also..Chinas leader has no fear and does what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants. Big difference. Here the leader could lose his position and be imprisoned. So the corruption starts at the top and works its way down. No one gets caught unless it becomes made public.

a group now rather than a gang.. It should not be difficult to spot a group of 50 riding bikes together in the middle of the night. Pattaya really needs to do something drastic to end this late night problem that seems to be getting worse.

that really does not matter.. as thailand has laws giving the pedestrians the right of way always. Most likely the Tuk tuk was driving too fast in a rural area or near a crosswalk. having to brake quickly threw out the passenger. Driver would be at fault for not demanding seatbelts and driving erratically.

It is sad. My kids are in Prathum government school. Every day they bring home homework and ask us what to do. Apparently, it is given and rote taught but never explained. They are clueless to doing it. Thailand is rated as the one of the most expensive countries for educating your children. They have one of the largest budgets given by the government yet, most of that money is used for extra-curricular activities. The teachers are not paid enough and have large class sizes. So they want the kids to pay extra for after school classes to be taught correctly. So many schools now have switched to using non-native english teachers and english subject teachers. So they can save half of the money that would be paid to a real native speaking foreigner english teacher. More Russian teachers and African teachers as I have noticed. The whole education system needs a reboot. From the buildings to their methodology in teaching. It is easy to see that if the kid has no self-thought then he will be a follower and never a leader with ideas. So that keeps the population passive so the government and rich can keep better control over them. Ignorance is bliss hmm.. Private schools are a little better. But not really unless the kid themself pushes themselves to learn more and understand. After a child reaches Prathum 5 they begin to understand it does not matter if they learn or not because they will still pass their grades and move on to the next level. I have seen kids washing rooms to pass their grade after failing scores. Even in private schools. But i think the worse part is the parents. They treat the schools as babysitters. They do not become involved in their kids learning. They do not push kids to do their work at home. They blame the teachers and school if the kid is not doing well but give no support if the child acts out or does not do any work in school or at home.

My twist? Or maybe you do not know what is a devils advocate.. Either way. The story itself shows the owner attacked first without provocation.... Hence the self defense idea. However, the caretaker was not convinced and forcefully grabbed Sommai's phone. In retaliation, Sommai slapped the caretaker's hand. The owner throw the first blow.
