So someone, despite trying, who is over the age limit for insurance is a fool!

No - only the 'fool' who, without any thought, made this claim.

And I so often think (and say) that many Thai are incapable of high order critical thinking, yet in our midst we also have one.

Where's Big Joke in this story?

This story/OP is 'Big Joke'.  The Governor has a sense of humour? 

But then again, maybe he was believing in what he said, hmmmm.....

And remember while it is only at around 6200 US now, it was as high as 19200+ not too long ago.

That is would be a HUGE drop in someone's wealth.

But there is NEVER any profit or loss until sale.

almost shoulder to shoulder with high voltage electricity cables during one particular elephant 'experience', to name one of the many dangers.

Tourist fault - if they did not ride elephant nothing bad would happen. 

Oooops...Thai thinking  I must remember I'm farang.

Well, don't insure then! So simple really? 

Some of us cannot afford (or do not want to carry) the big risks ourselves.

No.

But if you keep an elephant in your apartment, i would say its a bit cruel.

Particularly on your apartment.

Headers are only occasional in Football. Getting punched and kicked to the head happens constantly in boxing. Most football players ever head the ball in a game. But every muay thai fighter is going to get hit and kicked multiple times in the noggin everytime they are in the ring, not to mentioned practice. 

 

I understand you but it is not only about "totals" but also what is the cause. Therefore the correlation between Football and boxing (as mentioned by another poster). Just the same as the fitting of air bags to vehicles to decrease head injury trauma. Any head trauma can be dangerous but more likely in some sports more than others.

Not only in Thailand. Military men in South East Asia have only brought massive corruption and poverty to their people. Leaders like Marcos, Suharto and Hun Sen only ruined their countries and contributed little to the progress of respective countries. 

Farang may recognise that but Thai people will never be told or allowed to learn about them.

Well that would rule out military candidates BUT they will rule themselves in. 

Thai "democracy" will be - we will tell you who to vote for, so do as your told!

Wild elephants won’t let humans ride on top of them. So in order to tame a wild elephant, it is tortured as a baby to completely break its spirit. The process is called Phajaan, or “the crush”.

It involves ripping baby elephants away from their mothers and confining them in a very small space, like a cage or hole in the ground where they’re unable to move. The baby elephants are then beaten into submission with clubs, pierced with sharp bull-hooks, and simultaneously starved and deprived of sleep for many days.

 

Does that happen to all elephants or is this being "selective" reporting/comment?

Perhaps less obvious is that football also can cause similar brain injuries, but in this case it's more difficult to protect oneself since you actually use your head to pass or shot for goal.

Surely caused a head injury problem for Neymar(?) shown by his onfield staged and faked injuries in order to get the other side penalised! He's not the only one. Yup, a definite brain problem there.

Sex in Lumpini Park? 

Yes please.

Finnish Bitcoin owner Aarni Otava Saarimaa was lured into transferring Bitcoins worth almost Bt800 million to Thai suspects for further investment in Thai and other securities as well as for use in Macau casinos.

 

Was this guy completely crazy? Did he have a battery of expert lawyers reviewing the documents, visiting the casinos, and doing their due diligence? Investing $25 million dollars with a Thai actor? 

 

Will this scum be sentenced and imprisoned? Or will the monies simply be turned over the "authorities" and all is forgotten?

Yup, this scenario is not coming up smelling of roses.

I think the lack of comprehension on thisvthreadvis epitomized by remarks that show the amount of pure prejudice that guides their cmoments....and basically is just regarded as an.opportunity to denigrate deride and insult the Thai people.

 

"apologist in Lieland EVER! thaier than thai fool."

"..are you a Thai or a troll?"

 

 

It seems that many are simply making judgments based on the fallacious concept of race?

 

 

SHEESH!!

As I have previously posted - if you took drivers and riders out of the road trauma equation (or to use your words, road safety) there would be no (or very minimal) road safety problem. This group (regardless of race, age or sex) ARE THE MAJOR PROBLEM!!

Take your blinkers off.

The local and international community will follow this case closely, if it just drags on and goes nowhere, it will very seriously further dent the justice/reputational case around Thailand.  Too many white color crimes here and far too little real jail sentences.

"Color" or collar?

Sad, very sad.
