1087 days? Amazing. I've never understood people who can't just adhere to the very simple laws here. If you don't have a long stay visa then do visa runs. If you can't do that then maybe you shouldn't be here.

"World News First". Great source. How does this get into Asean Now news anyway? I would assume they have editors. Of course, based on some of the stuff I see in here, maybe not.

I love this place!

Yes, in all its glory. Traffic in Pattaya has never been worse.

Another exciting night on drinking street.

That's hilarious. You'd think he'd have learned better.

"Police were shocked"? It's there job not to be shocked.

Whale puke is worth that much? How much is whale poop worth?

Thanks for giving us those 3 words in the excerpt here (they didn't). Uh, yeah, you don't want to say anything like that at an airport, lol. Common sense should prevail. Of course, many lack that.

Flights too.

He'll arrange to win.

They keep trying to fix what isn't broken. It's almost like these guys sit in a back room and ask "how can we screw this up"?

Thrills...

"she had left the handbag and her luggage near Gate 8 while visiting a convenience store". Bright. What could possibly go wrong?

Wife of a police superintendent eh? Lovely.

Exactly. Just yesterday there was an article about tourism being light. Now it's a boom? Make up your minds guys.

This was taken off the market in the US in 2010. They're not too far behind...

What a nice person.

Isn't it time to change this and other draconian laws in this country? Nobody under 50 looks at FB anyway, so if they're trying to protect the kids they're doing a <deleted>ty job. Maybe do more to keep them from killing each other in their gang wars instead.

As much as Thaksin stole from the Thai people, they were much better off when he was in office. It's kind of like Clinton in the US. He may have been screwing everything in sight, but he got the job done.

Of course. Until the media is informed and it hits the news nothing will happen.

Again I ask. This is news? It happens every day. It's probably rarely reported out of fear of embarrassment.

"Tourism dips"? I'm not so sure. In Pattaya it isn't dipping at all. It's supposedly low season and traffic is crazy. A 6 minute drive to the beach takes 25.

Ah yes. I'm sure this is the most important thing on the RTP's docket. No drugs. No violent crime. Just overstays. Man, Pattaya must have changed a lot (spoiler alert, it hasn't). Some of these guys should get up early in the morning and deal with the massive party every day on Jomtien Beach all night and morning where all kinds of laws are being broken. Drugs are being sold in the open. But I guess that's less important to them.
