They are still used - just not by criminal types, or first generation Brits!

So why is this BRITS face not pixellated out as is usual when suspects are arrested?

Obvously not British or Aussie or it would have been mentioned!

Wow! Great "head" "line"!

DELETED for asking for nationality

Your last phrase says it all!

"What will it take to have government leaders to act in the best interests of other than their own?" A lot more than a concerned poster on AseanNow!

And that makes him well qualified to do what exactly - apart from make money?

".........eventually leading to trouble." I have never seen "potheads" causing "trouble". Whereas on the other hand, alcohol and yabba/meth.............!

Do you not mean to GET the police to do their work?

"Stop the smoking of weed would be a good start........." Rubbish! A good start would be on the vehicles emitting clouds of black smoke, and post photos of the arrested drivers AND owners to show that something is actually being DONE about it. I have lived here for nearly 20 years and have yet to see police stop a vehicle for emitting too much smoke, but there are plenty of vehicles doing it!

Bravo! This problem has been there for years and after years of empty rhetoric it is still there, and will stay there for years to come until something is actually DONE about it!

Yes, the fires might spread to his cannabis plants - can't have that! 🙂

When I first saw the headline I thought they were swapping tips!

I mentioned this sort of thing as an example of animal behaviour yersterday when an elephan ran amok due to being scared by fireworks. How many more people have to die as a result of being attacked by these savage beasts? It seems that in Thailand the life of an animal is more important than that of a human:- "With the abbot now gone, the future of Jord hangs in the balance as the temple, understandably, fears keeping him on the premises." The dog should be put down - full stop. NO passing it on to someone who is better qualified to train it - it is beyond training! It had already bitten before this tragic event. Sometimes Buddhist logic is beyond me. If a human kills another human, they are jailed - usually put on Death Row, but if a dog kills a human - find it another owner! Doh! 👿

Normally it's 500 baht a day fine:- "In order to depart Thailand, it will be necessary to pay an overstay fine. The fine for overstaying a visa is 500 Baht per day, up to a maximum of 20,000 Baht. The fine is payable to the Immigration Bureau, the Suvarnabhumi Airport Immigration office, or other departure point."

".....dogs all can act unpredictably to stimuli." True - hence all the (sometimes fatal!) attacks by Pit Bulls/XBullies on their owners and passers by.

"..........Thais do not think about the consequences of there actions or about the safety, all they think about is money!" 100% correct! And the rest of your post is spot on too!

Sheer stupidity to have fireworks going off anywhere near animals - especially big ones!

No plomplem - there are various ways of spelling it, but they all sound the same! 🙂 P.S. My wife is from Esan there too! Wot a good idea Mach! But you might confuse the Geordies on here! 🙂

"You just haven't found Isaan yet (not Isan please get it right)" - Stop being so Pompous PomPolo! :- From AI :-The northeastern region of Thailand is called Isan, but it is also written as Isaan, Issan, Isarn, Esan, or Esarn From Wikipedia :-Northeastern Thailand or Isan (Isan/Thai: อีสาน, pronounced [ʔīː.sǎːn] ⓘ; Lao: ອີສານ, romanized: Īsān; also written as Isaan, Isarn, Issarn, Issan, Esan, or Esarn; from Pāli 𑀇𑀲𑀸𑀦 isāna or Sanskrit ईशान्य īśānya "northeast")[4] consists of 20 provinces in northeastern Thailand. .

"Suggestions include installing additional signage in multiple languages to inform visitors of local customs and regulations,....." Don't pee in the sea - that's the fishes job! Well, it was until they started pumping sewage into the sea!

"A foreign man has been arrested after allegedly threatening his Thai wife and child with a firearm and forcing them into a vehicle." Obviously not a Brit then otherwise the nationality would have been mentioned! (P.S. The headline does mention Swiss - maybe another rich p**t who thinks he can do as he likes with total disregard for any one else?)

What measures? And it appears that they don't seem to be spurring any reaction from the police other than a few words akin to "Please stop doing that, and don't do it again,please!"

Or wave to an imaginary friend, and say "Hi Jack"! 🙂
