What is a "brutal scamming compound"? And if Chinese tourists are being put off in their thousands because of a film, then why not bring out a film denouncing the film as pure fiction, and replace it with one promoting "Even More Amazing Thailand"? Oh, sorry, somebody has just told me that TAT have already tried that!

Cannabis leaves AND plants? I see no plants!

No, I don't think you are a tourist - I think you are probably an "alien" - that's what foreigners are called in the requirements for Visa applications! :- "1.4. Order of the Immigration Bureau No. 110/2546 dated June 11, B.E. 2546 re: Rules and conditions in considering the granting of a permit to an alien for extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom of Thailand.

???? I don't beleeeve it! Who would have thought that?

" Thailand, renowned for its scenic beauty. His Thai journey encompassed visits to Pattaya, Bangkok, and Narathiwat,...." You have to laugh don't you? Scenic beauty? Pattaya? Bangkok?, and Narathiwat which is very close to the areas that UK citizens are advised to stay away from because of possible violence (Yala/Pattani). And he's just been "busted" for overstay, and wants an extension so he can spend his money? I don't beleeeeve it!

I think she's also maybe basing her allegations on misinformation, and possibly the number of "accidental" deaths in Bangkok/Pattaya caused by people "falling from high places"!

A bit pedantic? Schools resumed on Mon 4 September to be precise, which is not "a few weeks ago" more like 2 and a bit!, and Universities traditionally start later (Mon 22 September) so maybe he had a job waiting for him at University?

she received calls and emails, from Bangkok, written to her in Thai, which had incorrect dates, informing her of Kimbia’s alleged suicide.

The British school holidays (6 weeks) have just finished and maybe he acquired, the position earlier in the year with a starting date in line with the reopening of schools/universities after the summer break?

" .......................and the purpose is to aid in the calculation of the take-off weight, to ensure flight safety." Knowing Bangkok Air, and their extortionate prices on the Bangkok - Samui route, the purpose in future will be to charge overweight passengers extra!

5 months of "complications"?

Yeah, yeah, yeah! ????

".............to prepare for the expected surge in visitors ........." They've been talking to TAT and filching their buzzwords!!!

"..............he must remain incarcerated for at least one-third of his jail term or at least six months (whichever is the longer), as required by the rules. So by my reckoning, it's 5 months, but I have my doubts as to whether he will serve that long!!!

So I presume that his illness(es) will keep him in hospital for another 5 months? ???? What's the odds on parole being granted before then on the grounds of "?????????????????"

And do you burden the already overwhelmed police force with enforcing what is now, again, a crime? No comment necessary!

"After 20 minutes in the pool, they all felt numb all over their bodies and found it difficult to move their legs and arms." That doesn't sound like an electric shock to me - an electric shock would have bounced them out of the jacuzzi! No, I think they just stayed in too long and the water got cold - happened to me a few times in the UK after falling asleep in the bath!!! ????

That won't please (Currently) Deputy Prime MInister Anutin - but maybe he saw it coming! :- Minister of Public Health In office 10 July 2019 – 1 September 2023

I bet some doctors are rubbing their hands and planning for the future on the back of these regulations! I wonder who will "police" the doctors?

Indeed, Lord Jeffrey Archer:- The Right Honourable The Lord Archer of Weston-super-Mare "On 19 July 2001, Archer was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice at the 1987 trial. He was sentenced to four years' imprisonment by Mr Justice Potts." And he served half of his sentence in the Category "D" HM Prison Hollesley Bay in Suffolk. before being released on licence, retained his peerage and continued to be a member of The House of Lords.

"The Thai people will not forget." Do you not realise by now that "The Thai people" are of no consequence in this play/farce? In the same way as the will of the voters was of no consequence in the recent election!!!

"Doppelganger"? dop·pel·gang·er /ˈdäpəlˌɡaNGər/ noun an apparition or double of a living person. "he has been replaced by an evil doppelganger"

Lucky to have a bed - lots of them have to sleep on the floor!

"expects to marry a much younger woman and not pay up." Are you saying that Thai women are a commodity with a price tag?

Just spoke to my Thai wife from Isan about it. Apparently, the problem isn't when it's cooked - the problem is that some people prefer it uncooked and therein lies the danger! P.S. As an aside, I note that the post says " millions of Thai people, especially in Isaan,...." Apparently it can be written in various ways i.e. "Īsān; also written as Isaan, Isarn, Issarn, Issan, Esan, or Esarn" which is probably why Thai is such a difficult language to learn!!! ????
