The Best Burger in Bangkok
As a burger expert in Thailand you should try Nakorn Mu burgers. https://maps.app.goo.gl/C3Njh5WAabMM3xoF6 When I see a new beer, I buy it, just so I know what it's like. I assume it's the same for you and burgers.

One of the most epic crash videos I've seen so far
That's a big one. Fortunately all of the innocent ones are okay. I couldn't give a fig about the driver who caused it though. There's simply no excuse for that.

Electric Vehicles: A glimpse of whats coming!
Only the I5 in those pictures has a good grill and lights that don't make the car look electric (and in my opinion cheap).

Plastic in Food
I was just reading the worst joke ever thread. You may as well put this in there. The word sometimes generally means between 20-50%. I don't need to do a study to call bs on that.

Thai health pushes for alcohol-free Songkran celebrations
What utter rubbish. What sampling method did they use? They detest normal people so would never speak those because they are 'wrong'. They'd never ask the younger generation because they are also 'wrong'. No doubt they spoke to their friends and probably asked Muslims tourists.

All the advertisements that are popping up
I only get these incessant adverts when using my phone. Unfortunately for me, I prefer using my phone rather than getting the slow laptop out. Many times when the plane advert comes up, I decide to give up and not bother with the forum.

Rabid Russian assaults police team in Phuket after going berserk at a city centre hotel
Now this is the type of incident that deserves prison in my opinion. This man is clearly a danger to others and should not be free to roam the streets.

Thailand house of representatives approves same-sex marriage bill
Just because he doesn't agree with it doesn't make him a homophobe/bigot. I disagree with him, but he has a right to his opinion.

Thai Music we love
It's definitely catchy. I like it. Out of interest Proton, do you see much violence at the concerts you go to? My Facebook reels seem to show lots of fighting at events like this. Are fights few and far between or quite common from your experience?

Thai Music we love
I think this song is going to be quite popular for Songkran. Released today. My Thai friends like it a lot, and the pretty lady in the video.

Two New Zealand Men Arrested in Phuket for Alleged Brutal Assault on Traffic Cop
I don't understand why posters like you have to go to such extremes and wish such hardship on others. By your words, their actions were foolish, that means lacking good sense or judgement. I thought maximum everything would be for intent, not making a bad call.

Two New Zealand Men Arrested in Phuket for Alleged Brutal Assault on Traffic Cop
I'd rather the people deciding their fate have access to all of the CCTV and then decide what happens to them. If they were to charge them, I'd rather see a large fine and send them back to New Zealand. No one was injured and the prisons are already full. What benefit is there of sending them to a Thai jail apart from causing mental and potentially physical suffering to two people who caused pretty much zero damage. Prisons in my opinion should be used to keep dangerous people away from the public, not for revenge.

Two New Zealand Men Arrested in Phuket for Alleged Brutal Assault on Traffic Cop
CM just stank of weed and I saw more tourists there than locals (I know I didn't, but that's how it felt). I've been to CM quite a few times over the last decade and agree with Ben Zioner on the changes. I feel like I get to experience more Thai culture in Kalasin and the people have always been very friendly to me there.

Two New Zealand Men Arrested in Phuket for Alleged Brutal Assault on Traffic Cop
Each to their own I guess. I live here, but I have no intention to go back to Phuket. My most recent trips to Chiang Mai was also disappointing and Mahasarakham quite dreary. I would recommend other areas though like Sam Roi Yot, Bang Saphan, Nan, Kanchanaburi, and Kalasin, to name a few if tourists want something nice and a bit more peaceful.

Two New Zealand Men Arrested in Phuket for Alleged Brutal Assault on Traffic Cop
"He is trying to kill us" one of the guys said in the video to the Thai couple. You can see that they were not being aggressive or looking crazy in the video. They had zero interest in using the gun themselves. Hopefully we will see all the CCTV evidence to show what actually happened. Either way, I bet they will never return to Thailand again.

Thai man survives black bear attack during ant egg hunt (video)
Any advice on what to do if meeting one of these bears while walking in a national park here?

Thai Music we love
I don't know much about this kid but he has a great voice and I've liked all of his songs so far.

Thai AirAsia opposes airfare reductions due to operational costs
I've been on a few local flights recently, but I think I'll go back to driving. It would have been cheaper for me on each occasion to just drive and considering the time it takes to get to the airports, leaving room for delays etc then getting to where I want to at the other side is only an extra hour or two. Apparently it's also better for the environment.

Swiss man who allegedly assaulted Thai doctor faces additional charges
Could you please highlight who has actually defended Swiss #2 or are you trying to create an invisible enemy? Never mind, you got the likes that you wanted.

PM Srettha revs up plans for Thailand’s Formula One debut
I think there's a chance purely due to the influence of red bull (Thai owned) on the sport. Money talks. I'd have liked to see the Bangkok street circuit happen, but they would never allow this event near their royal or ancient buildings /monuments. If it were to be anywhere else I don't see it having the appeal to get it on the calendar.

PM announces plans for a mid-sea airport in Hua Hin
So who is paying for this new airport that only the super rich will ever use? And do the super rich really holiday in Hua Hin? Maybe they all come flocking to see Rajabhakti Park.

Thai woman assaulted by Swiss man in Phuket
I'm saying that you shouldn't be encouraging violence. Does that not tell you that I wish for peace? I agree with the police's initial decision. Just both say sorry and move on as no harm was done, yet many are out for blood/want a pound of flesh. I agree that we'll no doubt have to agree to disagree, and as adults I'm sure we can do that. I don't have any block list as I think it's important to see all views, not just ones that say what I want to hear.

Just forget I said anything. Self reflection seems impossible for you.

German villa party
Have you spoke to them? Do you know how long they will be there for? Sometimes we let it slide, other times we call the police. Other times we may use it as an opportunity to go away for a few nights. I don't have any experience of never ending noise though, but the police, head of the village or landlord would probably need to be informed if the Germans are causing such inconvenience.

Thai woman assaulted by Swiss man in Phuket
Once again, at what point am I sticking up for him? I am calling you out as you posted a big picture of him telling people to run him over. Is that not also schoolboy behaviour? And to repeat myself one more time, I am not him, live anywhere near Phuket or even hang out with westerners for that matter.
