With posts like that I remember why I put you on my "Ignored" list - absolute garbage post! "out with the criminals. I admit there are some they can stay here"??? That's extremely kind of you!

"Thailand has long been a popular destination for British tourists, but recent reports suggest a concerning trend: an apparent uptick in criminal activities involving British nationals." Beat me to that one! No mention of any other nationalities where the "real" criminals seem to come from - Chinese triads, Russian mafia, Nigerian scammers etc etc. Seems that a handful of Brits caught at Samui Airport attempting to smuggle out cannabis are to blame for "an apparent uptick in criminal activities involving British nationals". Priorities eh?

They WERE injured if you read the story!!!:- "The vehicle involved was a BMW with Phuket registration, driven by Mr. Moritz Harald Hick, a 24-year-old German national. His passenger, Mr. Anton Augsten, also 24 and German, sustained injuries. Emergency services transported both to Chalong Hospital for treatment."

"Thaksin Investigation Stalled by Legal Hurdles, Says NACC" Oh, what a surprise! Who would have thought otherwise? 🙂

A 20,000 baht fool! If a stranger told me I was overweight, I would immediately walk away after saying something like "And you're ugly!" Besides, the guy doesn't look particularly overweight to me? "When his partner joined him, they realised the product did not deliver the promised benefits" Did they expect the weight to drop off "like water off a duck's back"? Unbelievably naive!

Apparently he has indulged in this kind of behaviour before, if you read the post in its entirity:- "Locals from the area, familiar with the British national and his Thai wife, echoed sentiments of previous insults hurled by him in past interactions." and obviously hasn't changed his spots! He should try that kind of behaviour in the "Family Friendly" resort and see what the reaction of the locals is there!

Troll!

"Police from Phimai swiftly arrived at the scene, ensuring the incident didn't deteriorate into violence. However, the police have yet to confirm whether the Briton faced any legal repercussions following the altercation." And "Lieutenant Colonel Vorachai of the local police added: 'The officers at the scene calmed him down and helped to avoid any further conflict and no arrests were made." Sounds like he's a right plonker - he's played similar tricks before apparently, and is exactly the type that gives Brits a bad reputation. Give him a few days in the slammer with bread and water to sober him up and he might think twice next time!

With questions like that, I have just remembered why I have you on"Ignore"

I think you need to move!

"US"? Treading on thin ice there, Malcolm!

What? Never! The "family friendly" resort "dangerous"? You must be thinking of somewhere else!

Where does it say "machetes"? I see only a reference to fists, foreign objects, sticks and rocks!

See it's affected your spelling abilities!

"Worryingly, he has been on this rampage since November 2014, yet the issue remains unresolved." WHAT! Nearly 10 years and he is still a problem? I am sure that the RTP can think of some reason for detaining him - if they want to!

I'm a critic - I've been there and never want to go back - Happy? So why don't the police have a presence in these two streets that you mention? I've already made a suggestion as to why, but with you seeming to be a lover of the place, maybe you know better?

Becoming/has become a regular occurrence in Pattaya and Phuket:- Early hours - Ladyboy - tourist - trouble for the tourist. Where are all the police when these incidents kick off? Are they counting their "protection/tea money"? In all cases they seem conspicuous by their absence!

Instant demotion or "moved to an inactive post" could well be a reason!

My wife's family had some land left to them,but had to pay to get a guy from the local Land Department/Office to come and take measurements of the plots to make sure that everything was "legal and above board",(😀) and everybody that was a beneficiary was to get a certificate of ownership which could take a couple of months. After 6 months, no body got a certificate and apparently the paperwork had been "lost". So they had to get the guy from the Land Department/Office to come and do the job again, and guess what - they had to pay him again - although they had "lost" the paperwork!

My thai wife has a relation who wanted to join the Police Force. His parents said to him "Sorry, but it costs a lot of money to join the Police Force"

Afew years ago, a mate of mine got stopped at a checkpoint for not wearing a helmet whilst riding a motorbike. He was told to join the queue, and he said "But why are there 2 queues?" The policeman replied "One is the 500 baht queue and the other is the 300 baht queue". He asked "What's the difference?" The policeman explained "If you join the 500 baht queue you will get a ticket which you have to take to the local police station. There you will have to wait for a couple of hours, and then you will pay your fine and get a receipt". My friend asked "What happens at the 300 baht queue?" He was told "You pay your 300 baht, do not get a receipt and you can go on your way". Needless to say, he chose the 300 baht queue which was substantially longer that the 500 baht queue! P.S. This was not in Phuket, but another tourist destination!

"....the drug dogs in Heathrow would have probably smelled that much weed in Samui" Heathrow dogs must have good noses! 🙂

And the way things are going it will soon be one in five!

Unfortunately, not all Brits are "light skinned" these days!
