Yes, certainly an Austrian passport. This is an older Version. The newer ones have this special EU wine-red colour:

 

Australia and Austria = same same (At least here in Thailand)

I think donating nothing would have been better. 5,000 baht is pretty much a spit in the face. 

Any diamond of that value and size surely would have been GIA certified and should have a laser inscription on the ring. I'm sure there has to be some way to track it, at least see when it was certified if he claims it was his 'mothers'. 

Something tells me this isn't the first time he claimed he has epilepsy when smashing into someone.

They should join up with their cousins from Myanmar, the Rohingyas, to become a super exiled group. The U.N. and other organizations just starting to get decent aid to them. 

Where is the CCTV Video? I clicked the link in the news article but I didn't see anything but still pics. Can somebody link it please? :)

Never mind, I just noticed that somebody linked the clip on the Facebook page in this thread.  Disgusting stuff!

What a great law for Thailand and the mafia, I mean police.  They can't wait to extort money from the tourists that come and fly them without knowing this law in 90 days.

"As it seems in the pictures" So by  pictures you assume he has no education or police schooling? Wow, if i send you a picture os some lottery tickets can you tell me which ones to buy

 

When 99% of the Thai population has no training, it's not hard to assume with a picture or not.  I truly think a piece of paper with a B.A. from a Thai university is equivalent to a 9th, maybe 10th grade high school/secondary education in most western countries.  

Brings me back to my memories of my teaching days when I first got to Thailand.  A big ceremony was held for a highly respected teacher for getting a "PhD in English Education".  The next week I was walking by her Grade 1 (IEP - Intensive English Program) class and saw her writing on the black board "This a father, This a brother, etc."  The week after "I like eat orange.    I not like eat apple".  

Just sad!

Any westerners staying in hotels with a buffet breakfast should set breakfast alarm for 6.01 am.. Just sayin

Any westerners should come with American football or ice hockey attire if they plan to eat at a buffet.

A verdict that was decided before the trial started !

Every verdict here in Thailand is decided before the trial starts.  

Anybody have a link to the video?

This is getting out of hand, not only in Pattaya but so many beautiful spots devastated by this crap.  

On a side note, my mother and sister are coming here and I plan to take them to one of the islands/beaches.  Does anybody know a beach that is still intact, still beautiful like they were a decade or two ago?

Hazing can be pretty torturous in the U.S. without the crude sexual acts as written in the article.  However, the big difference is that you only get hazed if it's your choice to join a fraternity or sorority and 99% know what they are getting into.  

Over the years I have become more and more addicted to Tramadol and with my tolerance at an all time high.  I need to get off these things.  I live in Bangkok so does anybody know of a Methodone clinic or a place where I can get Suboxone to wean myself off?

I've never been to Penang for a visa run but I think I'm going to take a trip to Malaysia so I mine as well do it right around the expiry date.  I know the normal documents I need for a 3 month Non-B which is all I can get because I have a son but I'm not married or not even together with his mother anymore.  

Do I need to have an outgoing ticket or show money in the bank for this?

The 17 years old confessed that he had robbed people in Phuket town and Kathu area 4-5 times after taking Alprazolam (Xanax).

Alprazolam is supposed to make you chilled out and relaxed.  Did the reporter forget to mention Yaba?

I don't blame the mother for sending her son to a different school, but the attitude of the school is taking the piss. They had been apologizing too much?

No sanctions against the teacher and no one is in danger of losing their jobs? There is the green light for the next beating then.

Civil Servants/Government Workers cannot lose their jobs in the precious kingdom.  The worst would be moved to something "inactive".

Come on, guys.  "It's getting worse". Official says they have 8 months before a catastrophy. Why worry now. We have 8 months to think about it. Maybe have a meeting.

They need to form a committee first.

I agree with everything you said apart from the early stoppage. Conor hadn't thrown a punch or blocked a punch for a while, he had his hands down and was getting bartered not properly defending himself at this point, and Floyd had walked through everything he had when Conor was fresh. 2nd wind or not, he wasn't gonna get back into this fight and ending the fight by him going down or unconscious wouldn't have done anything for him or his legacy.

I was hoping that Conor would KO Floyd in the 1st 4 rounds but I was happy with the fight and the stoppage.

 

Yeah, I think everybody knew that Conor's only chance was in the first 4-5 rounds.  He won 3 rounds.  Definitely the first, second, possibly third and eighth.  He would never have won a decision no matter what against Mayweather's handpicked judges.  They scored it 8-1, giving Mayweather the 2nd round when he barely even threw a punch.   It would have been a travesty if he actually did win but was robbed by the judges.  Also, would have been a travesty if he couldn't last through five rounds.  He made the UFC fighters / organization proud that one of their own hung in their against one of the best ever for 10 rounds.

Not computer savvy are we???  That person, you, or both went to the wrong URL where other sites take nearly the same domain name.  This happens to every popular site.  I watched and have been watching first row for about 7 years here without any personal information ever given. It's completely free, except for the annoying ads that you have to click through for the first 30 seconds or so.  That's how the site makes money (ad revenue) so not a big deal just to close them out.  

In my opinion, the fight was great and exceeded expectations.  People said McGregor wouldn't land a punch and he landed more punches in 10 rounds than Pacquaio did in a 12 round fight.   Also, we haven't seen Mayweather push forward in years.  Conor is known to blow is gas tank around that time in a fight but he is also known to get a second wind (Check out McGregor/Diaz 2).  Like Conor said, he wished the ref would have let him continue to make it out of the round or either hit the canvas and I agree.  All in all, it was a WIN-WIN for everybody involved.   Mayweather walks away with 350+ million and can pay off his gambling debts and taxes.  UFC makes 50 million for nothing.  Conor walks away with $100+ million.  Showtime makes a huge amount and the list goes on.  No losers in this fight and Conor will be back, better than ever in the UFC!!!

Why? Many good UFC Fighters only box and don't do any grappling. To get to Mayweather to drag him to the ground and destroy him, as you put it, you would need to get close to him to do that.

 

In there lies your problem. Not to many people can get close enough to him to be able to do that. You would more than likely end up being his punching bag.

 

But we will never know for sure as he has no plans to ever enter the ring again, let alone for MMA.  

Another delusional comment.  UFC is the elite of the elite in MMA.   Mayweather would get choked out in about 10-30 seconds.  He wouldn't know how to defend a take down.   Next comes the transition to back and strangled.

No thanks :)

What an idiot.  First Row has been around streaming every sport, free, for years.  Welcome to the age of technology.

I don't see a quality boxer being beaten by a rough house guy with no ring experience. I figure he will be knocked out unless he has learnt to block punches. As for those fighters in the octagon.....I personally find them boring. Probably better fights outside the pubs on the Shanklin Road on a Saturday night. Now Ali in his prime would be worth watching against anybody including this Irish guy.....he would probably pepper him with his long reach and step out of the way as the crowd shouted, "Timber!" 555

UFC (MMA) is the fastest growing sport while boxing is dying out.

Is he? I thought it was $100m and Conor was getting $80m.

 

Mayweather will make around $350 million with his promotions and expected PPV numbers.  McGregor will clear 100 million from the same and that doesn't include 50 million that the UFC takes since he's actually under contract with them. 

Anyway, I've been rooting for Mayweather to LOSE for the past 10 years or so, probably like a lot of people.  It hasn't happened yet and this is the last chance so I can't miss it, even if it's a long shot.
