Where was "the extra 100 baht" mentioned? Or walked how far? From Krabi to Phuket? Seems to me that the guy paid for his trip, and asked for a drop off at a certain hotel, and then for some reason the driver took umbrage (maybe because he didn't get a tip because of his attitude?) and went way over the top in his reaction. And what I saw in the video is certainly a much more serious reaction than "verbal abuse"!!! Yes, let's make Phuket "safe and an attractive place for tourists" ????

"The Watch Scandal" indeed! Prawit must have the lamest excuse(s) I have ever heard for his possession of those timepieces - so poor that they are laughable! Firstly, to say that he "borrowed them from a friend" is bad enough! I don't know, or have ever heard of anybody borrowing a watch from a friend - let alone the numbers he is talking about. Secondly, to say that he couldn't return them because the so called friend he borrowed them from is dead? Ridiculous -should he not have returned them to the "next of kin"? Thirdly, to say "I had forgotten about them anyway" Who "forgets about" millions of baht's worth of watches, when he was actually pictured wearing one? (I suppose he could say that was one of his own - in fact they all appear to be his own now that the friend is dead!) And to think that this conniving piece of humanity has even a chance of becoming Thailand's next Prime Minister beggars belief!

As is borne out by today's story of the unfortunate lady who had to have part of her leg amputated due to it getting trapped in a moving escalator - tragic. -
Thailand braces for liquor industry disruption under Move Forward

I don't drink spirits, and the beer here is like fizzy lager, so any reduction on the price of (imported) wine would go down well with me - along with probably quite a few others who would drink more if it was more affordable. -
Head line :- "Two deaths linked with cannabis use and violent incidents reported in recent days by Thai police...." "The suspect told police that he had been smoking marijuana but had also taken two methamphetamine tablets." The man admitted to police he had taken methamphetamine pills and smoked marijuana So, why is marijuana blamed? I think the headline could have been more appropriately worded more appropriately, e.g.:- "Two deaths linked with methamphetamine use and violent incidents reported in recent days by Thai police...."

"........ISOC under the RTM ............" Am I the only one who doesn't like the use of/understand a lot of the acronyms being used on this site? -

Over 9.3 million people cleared from police criminal record files
sambum replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Guilty until proven innocent seems to be the guideline! When the the Covid restrictions were at their peak, a mate of mine sat down with some others outside a bar that was selling alcohol illegally. He hadn't actually ordered a drink, but was roped in with the others who had drinks in front of them. He was going to plead not guilty, but was persuaded otherwise by the Court interpreter. She said he could plead not guilty, would probably spend the next few nights or a week in jail, would have to hire a lawyer (not cheap) and at the end of the day she "guaranteed" that he would still be found guilty, and end up getting double the sentence that the others had received - so he pleaded guilty! -

Thai cyanide serial killer loses baby in prison, lawyer plans legal action

More emotion shown by her lawyer No, the lawyer is after "MONEY"!!! Should be "End of" but most certainly will not be! Without being callous, the baby is dead, so the death penalty is a possibility- any bets on whether that happens? Forget it - I'm in my late 70's and can't wait that long! -
Trying to get your posts count up? Try wearing a gold chain round your neck in Pattaya, and say hello to a couple of lady boys - that should get a bit of action and reaction as far as posts are concerned!

There's a fair chance that if it's a Brit or an Aussie, their nationality is mentioned - otherwise it's quite often put down as "a foreigner", hence the impression that Brits or Aussies are more often the main offenders.

"Meths"? That's a paint thinner! I presume you mean "meth" (Commonly known as "Methamphetamine" Anyway, you're right - ganja gets a bad press, because normally it has a sedative effect. I remember way back in the 60's, if you smoked "pot" (ganja), you were immediately assumed by family (and some friends who didn't know better) to be a drug addict. Fortunately, things appear to have changed for the better recently!
