"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"! 🙂

Doesn't look like your typical Aussie - more like a - sorry I can't say it on here in case I might offend somebody!

Yes, they need to get their priorities in order. The few overstayers are usually not of the trouble making kind, the "real" criminals probably don't report every 90 days anyway. Violent and threatening behaviour seem to go hand in hand with alcohol/yabba type drugs, and it does seem to be that it is a certain type of individual that acts this way. I (and many of my friends) have been hardened drinkers for many years (I am approaching 80 years old) and apart from one incident in my teenage years (that involved cannabis, washing up liquid, dye, and a fountain in our City Centre) have never been involved in any kind of trouble - violent or otherwise. So, yes, the RTP/Law Enforcement agencies should concentrate more on the real threats to society. Give them a decent wage and they will be less inclined to ask for backhanders to let troublemakers walk free, and troublemakers should be made accountable for their actions - a slap on the wrist and a wai is obviously not a sufficient deterrent for some of these "head cases".

"It's slowly becoming boring!" "Slowly"? It's been boring for months now! As many post have already said/implied, the man is never going back to jail, and a pound to a penny, if his daughter returns, she won't either - he will make sure of that by getting the Gov't to pass/find some hitherto unknown law that decreases the Statute of Limitations for those of a certain financial standing!!! Or some similar ploy!

".....cheap quality customers....." Is that not a contradiction in terms?

But you expect us to believe you "with no thought process"?

Did I not read on here a while ago that some committee was investigating Thailand's outdated booze laws? Or are they still "sitting" (on the fence)?

Well done on being the first one to pose that question!

"Why are they speaking Chinese in the attached video of this sinking?" "Aboard were 33 Chinese tourists, two tour guides, and three crew members." 'Nuff said? Doh!

Say that it's a disgrace that people should have to live this way?

"Vaping has also been banned in Thailand since 2014, although such products are still widely available for purchase." Says it all about the laws of this country!

There's more chance of a snowball freezing in hell than her serving out her sentence!

Good news!

Take it up with Wikipedia - not me!

Actually it is:- Kathoey or katoey (Khmer: ខ្ទើយ, khtəəy; Lao: ກະເທີຍ, ka thœ̄i; Thai: กะเทย; RTGS: kathoei, Thai pronunciation: [kàtʰɤːj]), commonly translated as ladyboy in English,..........

What is happening here recently? Phuket trying to take Pattaya's "Family Friendly Resort" title? 🙂 For a few days now we have been reading of unsavoury happenings in Phuket, while nothing untoward seems to be happening in Patts?

"FREEDOM"!!!

Nah - that's PATTAYA!!!
