The man had to get to Thailand to attend his Thai wife's 15th birthday party. Have a heart. Who else would blow up those balloons?

The girls were fined 100baht. That will fix the problem.

Please let me know if I am mistaken, aside from Tourists, but regarding Foreigners who live here, do you not pay the Thai price if you show a Thai driving license or yellow book?

According to Nong Nooch you are mistaken. You Thai drivers license gets you nothing but the tourist rate.

With his record of rapes, assults, etc. he should never be allowed to mingle with or even be let out where he has access to the general public. Even if he were castrated he has shown he is a habitual thief, of virtually no use to contributing anything to society.

Sell him to some ships captain/owner and ensure he is chained/locked to the ship so he cannot leave it. Never let his feet touch Thai land or any land , for that matter, again

I agree with you but don't you think the he should be punished as well? just sending him on a fishing cruise seems like coddling.

French claim the find.

Sorry Aussies.

Aussies would have found it if it came in a bottle.

Political grandstanding, nothing more. And it won't just be Republican states. It will burden states like California more than anyone else. Another failed attempt at 'legacy.'

Oh, he'll have a "legacy" alright ...

oBummer will be known in history as enemy umber One.

Revered in the moooslim world.

Reviled in the free world.

So, he has one hundred and fifty girl friends. What is the crime in that?

Who pays for this when most insurance is caped at 10 mil Baht? More than 10m baht damage there.

The company that employed the truck driver. The negligent party, and their employer, when the employee is acting within the course and scope of their employment, is always responsible for the damage. Insurance only allows them to shift some of the risk of loss to another party. It's possible the company has an umbrella insurance policy that would provide excess coverage. Policies with US$1 million limits are not uncommon.

Not Fair, not Thai. Obviously the Falang power company, falang money involved, they tied all the poles together with cables from pole to pole. That created maximum pole failure so clearly not Thai driver fault. Falang finance company done the dirty deed. They must pay again and quickly to make Thai customer smile again. Also consider big prize money from Guinness book of records. Watch out when driving on Thai road with power poles. Many will try to break this Thai record.

Thai racism at it's finest.

Implanting in the heads of children that can barely read, that black people are ugly.

Terrible that the education department actually let this through.

I know, I know...it's a "misunderstanding".

Falang = Stupid....Falang no understand Thai = smart.........

Military procurement isn't about equipping the military, it's about corruption, politics and economics.

For example think why is Australia buying the F35 fighter, by all accounts it is a very expensive lemon.

Sure, in the hands of drunken, swearing denigrate big mouthed Australians everything is a lemon.

Just saying

.

If the gulf of Thailand is only 50 m deep, then there is no sub needed. Purchase patrol boats.

It's not only 50 meters deep and are you aware that Thailand also has another entirely different body of water on its western front and that patrol boats and submarines have different capabilities and missions?

Torpedoing Rohingya boats?

have you forgotten ? one of the dozen or so admiral's in the navy's advanced "strike force" group asked if the subs could be equipped with retractable wheels . that would eliminate the need for "camo sub pens" as they could be driven to "dry dock" for repairs and maintenance . the sight of a sub on the streets would make the motorcycle tuffs think twice about speeding . no one wants a Chinese torpedo up their keester ....

I trust that I am not giving anything away but just think what retractable wheels could do for the Sub Fleet. Rush right across the peninsula into Ranong and plunge into the Andaman sea for law and order. Not even talking about invisible surveillance of the river through Bangkok. Surely other nations will line-up to be let-in on the new Thai Sub system. This will show the world that Thailand is more than just spicy food.

If the gulf of Thailand is only 50 m deep, then there is no sub needed. Purchase patrol boats.

Just Google Earth and see the depth of the gulf of Thailand and see how ridiculous it is to get sub marines. Buying them from China is even more ludicrous as China will be the aggressor. Better learn Chinese.

Anyone who has watched the fly on the wall documentaries following the staff in this area will have found two things. One, the migrants see the whole exercise of sneaking in as a funny game. Not once did I see them distressed or looking afraid or any such thing. It was all beaming smiles and - "ah shucks, I would'a gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky kids and their sniffer dog". Two, because on being softly calmly coaxed out of hiding like a kitten hiding under a bed, they were given a cup of tea (I'm not joking) by Female staff chosen to be compassionate to their aims.

None carry passports intentionally because they know that if they do it can actually mean incarceration and possible deportation. So,they are simply turned around and let loose to go back to their launching spot and try again the next day. Utterly absurd. It is time for our nations to show some backbone and 'deter' them strongly. We're too bloody 'nice' for our own good and our 'understanding' and 'western guilt for being born western' is being used against us. I fully understand why migrants want to do it, but understanding it does not mean we should either encourage it by being softy softy like we do, or resign ourselves to the inevitable like we do.

Where the hell is our leadership in the west? We have career politicians who are intimidated into inaction out of fear of how we look on the "world stage". It is all about 'Brand Britain', above all else. We're seeing floods because they know there is a sentiment to pull up the drawbridge, and they want in for a share in the remaining crumbs of the pie that we have left.

I insist 'our' people's welfare is tended to first above all else, before taking on 1000s of new people from the third world who are not going to find streets paved with Gold in Britain, no complimentary job to walk into, no complimentary housing and a car, and we'll only end up with shanty homes in our few forests, complete with all the trash and filth seen in Calais.

edit : correcting spelling.

Ahay, is there perhaps some justice from Europeans having invaded Africa and called it their very own? Perhaps it is now time to take care of their very own.

I wince at how Westerners fail to anticipate the likelihood of situations like this developing when they decide to buy into a local family in return for shagging one of the younger female members.

The OP's not a buffalo; more of a cash cow

Sorry, but being a farang doesn't guarantee respect anymore and it never should have in the first place

Since the locals got internet and social media - a hell of a lot more of them know exactly what old Western men marrying younger women are all about . . . thank God

Last time I checked, Asian men do the same.

If they have any real money they will have a wife, concubine, their daughters age. They know how to keep control of the money though and that is what respect is all about.

Falang has to be simile to 'legally' marry a young girl and expect respect.

5555555 all emoticons apply to that senile Falang

no no no I am not bozo!

Why would she not come back yegads it seems 99% certain that she walks freely from any court or they would have locked her up long ago.

She is the popularly elected leader of the country. Of course power hungry thugs do not like democratically ELECTED leaders. Some have the guns but have no shame.

The police guy with the mic looks like singing the national anthem of the fugitives on the run who

got caught....

Geeh, I did not know that. Fugitives on the run have a national anthem?

In all fairness to LOS, keep him in a Thai prison for a year or so, properly shackled, Then, while keeping him shackled send him back to the USA to face justice. What say you?

70 pages and plenty of already turned over earth with just a smidging of nuggets worth reading.

SadpersoninAsia continues his petulance and adds nothing and JTJ has changed from issuing statements in support of

the RTP to making farcical and badly written insults. You disapoint me JTJ, I had you marked down as a bit sharper than that.

Attacks on Crabby are also without foundation as he has always related facts and opinion, not taking the fence stake out of his posterior,

fence sitting and observations to enrage others are his hobbies!

Overall the trial seems to be going exactly the way many expected, all we do not know is whether it will collapse or blunder on with the inevitable guilty verdict at the end of it.

Brits have something but what it is, we do not know nor do we know what kind of evidence the "foreigner" will bring to the trial.

But will any of the "new" or contradictory evidence really matter in this trial?

We can only hope.

We, USA, have nothing to brag about after the OJ trial. The bastard was guilty as sin and walked away free.

They must be desperate.Kept on robbing total 25000 baht.I'm surprised that after 2-3 robberies the police would stake

Out the rest of the 7-11's in the area.Maybe stores have to change their policy.That if your head is covered you can't

Walk in the store.

Myself I wouldn't work n any store in the world without protection of some kind.

Maybe that is why most 7-11 are out of business in the USA.

This time a practice run. 7 7-11 stores. Next time 7 7-11 stores x11. That is progress for some.

Vietnam does not recognize foreign driver's license even accompanied with an international license ;

You must have a vietnamese license to drive in this country

Not true. VN does recognize most foreign licenses. I do not know about registration.

Failed brakes are said to be cause of the accident,

Nothing to do with excessive speed then?

They really can't take responsibility for anything, can they.

Disgusting cultural trait.

Of course nothing to do with lack of maintenance. The vehicle was made by Falang country. Not high Thai quality.

This is wrong on so many levels ... and another reason I detest the UK.

His crimes were no different from 1,000's of others that Britons commit on a daily basis, so jail him ... or fine him ... but he hasn't killed anyone, and doesn't deserve to be deported, especially as he is the father OF a British child, that will (now, presumably) lose his father.

Tatsujin, you have it right. Surely the British kid has the right to have a father.

Only thing Clinton had right years ago. Children's rights must be considered before deporting parents.

No, I am not a bleeding heart liberal.

Shocking, totally shocking. I always believed that prostitution is illegal in Thailand, like most anywhere else. And now this revelation. It is still going on? How can it be?

The police man has assured us that they have taken this matter very serious. It had never happened before and will never happen again, you have my solemn word for it.
