What about the other 44 lives lost the same day on Thai roads?.

RIP to the families of the 4 young men that have died needlessly

Well possible

Why does any Thai woman marry a foreigner would be a better question.

Prostitutes are more likely to meet foreigners.

Most Thais learn how not to drive when children sat in front of there parents on a scooter.

Just passing down the unofficial highway code for the next generation

At least she wasn't driving.

True, but the baby never had a helmet on.

Did you get a photo? 

Thought crossed my mind but tricky to do while riding a scooter.

Nothing will change the 48 a day death total on Thai roads for a long time.

Only yesterday I saw a mother breast feeding her baby on the back of a motorbike travelling at speed. 

Overloaded transport or loads not held correctly can easily become your problem.

Keep out of there way.

You mean Thai residents in the UK? The UK Government doesn't want Thai residents in the UK. Any thing that they can do to deter them is welcome by the Government. The Government needs Filipino health workers or the whole of the NHS and the care system would collapse.

You got it

Interesting. I assume Filipino medical workers would not come to the UK to work if their pensions were frozen then the NHS would collapse. But the Government is quite happy to screw over British pensioners. They are of course quite happy to tax UK state pension and private pension and levy inheritance tax.

I am trying to explain why the Phillipino workers are treated differently than Thai residents

You obviously do not work in Banking in the UK!

You obviously have little idea what to expect if the UK Government wants to get serious about fraudsters

Just wait until they means test the state pension. Have a half decent private pension then they will stop the state pension completely. And now when you die your private pension is considered for inheritance tax.

Ned Kelly government of Australia has fixed that years ago.

How can a bank account tell them where you are living?

Where your money is being sent to . 

Not so difficult to work that out

I seriously thought about applying for my UK State pension using my UK address, but it’s quite tricky as they say they will make a phone call & send letters to verify the applicant. I also had to wait 16 weeks for the Tossers to make first payment.

They will probably know from your passport usage as to where you currently are

If there is suspicion that you are committing fraud your bank accounts will be viewed to work out where you are living .

It's even more silly, bragging about it on here...🥴

100 percent sure there

More like Aseannow is full in than Thailand

If a UK pensioner is spinning a yarn where he or she is living to receive more money from the UK government from his state pension while living in Thailand is not helping the cause of pensionists that tell the truth and suffering from it.

I have seen a few fraudsters on this site bragging of their success .

Shame on them

With Thailand expected to receive over 40 million vistors this year I suggest the locals have to put up with some bad behaviour and think back to the covid era where economic ruin was all they had to look forward too.

Best punishment if the accusations are true would be to have all the influental board members be forced to kneel on a concrete surface with a heavy weight around there necks  from dusk to dawn.

The Thai police missed an opportunity to arrest the foreign buyers the British drug seller had accumulated over six months.

There will be a new dealer to take the man's place in no time.

Make the buyers be aware of the consequences if the Thai authorities truly want to stop illegal sales of drugs.

Of course there tourist numbers would be affected and we can't have that can they

Half the country is the same for both parties, however it is now time for the republicans to show what they are worth and command more of the vote in 4 years.
