You don't do sarcasm do you?

"..........nothing should ever surprise anyone about the palace." Deliberate typo?

"...........the 2 dudes could have contacted the police............" Yeah, right! And how long would it have taken them to get there?

"He's an idiot." He was an idiot - he's now dead. It looks (and sounded like) he was running away from some kind of trouble (imagined or otherwise) but that's no excuse for his behaviour, and there were a few punches thrown by the big Thai guy trying to subdue him I guess. My assumption is he was on drugs (yabba?) and had a severe attack of paranoia and just wanted to get away from his demons! Unfortunately, it ended up tragically for him.

"...........a good percentage of the nation's crime seems to happen there, and certainly a good percentage of the crime committed against foreigners seems to happen in Pattaya." I got taken to task by a Pattaya apologist a few months ago for saying exactly that, and was falsely accused of never having been there! (I have - once - for 3 days - never again!)

"It could have been a lot wurst." 😀 Ha ha - nice pun!

Local police in Pattaya swiftly arrested three suspects involved in the assault, which has tarnished the city's reputation as a tourist destination. 🤣 Do me a favour, and let me know when Pattaya's reputation was first tarnished as a tourist destination, and how many incidents have been reported on AN over the past 2 weeks which confirms that the "tarnishing" goes on and on! And 10 Thais onto 1 "farang" seems just over par for the course!

"No one -- and I mean NO ONE - just drops dead at 28." Rubbish! Some people are born with "defects" that can claim their lives anytime and I mean ANYTIME!

And other nationalities? Don't want to offend the Chinese or Russians? Totally racist post 😞

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!
