A nicotine-addicted society is a safe society

Safe? Try telling this to millions worldwide who never smoked but nonetheless ended up with lung cancer due to passive smoking.

I am not using to live in Thailand. I just staying for short period. A visa exempt is totally enough.

It is up to the Government of Thailand to decide what is "totally enough" and what isn't. I feel sorry for your kids.

why are accidents so different in Thailand? Where the hell is the bus driver going? He actually speeds up! 

 

 

 

 

And only recently I was telling a visiting friend that Nakhonchaiair Gold Class coaches have an almost perfect safety record, and that he shouldn't worry ????

who would give a prostitute a credit card. Sounds like BS to me

He probably gave her a debit card so that he controls how much money she gets every week/month. Of course that's never enough but there are plenty of guys who left their brains at the left luggage office at Swampy so extra income is easy.

I just went on the waggon for two week and love taking the dog for its walk in the morning without a fuzzy head now.However, I HAD to have a couple of beers last night as I have subscribed to True ID sport channel, and you cannot NOT have a beer or two when Man City are playing. Maybe a couple more tonight for Chelsea!

I hope you didn't support Chelsea, or your "couple" probably ended more like 20!

Some users reported using a pound denominated deposit account in a Thai bank and it was accpeted by immigration. So basically you don't ever need to exchange to THB. 

Correct. I still do.

How come The Republic of Serbia has a Royal Gazette?

Serbia was a Monarchy until the end of WW2, and a lot of young princelings still hope that one day they could return to Belgrade in their God-given right.

"They knew we did good things for the people. They want us to come up with new, useful ideas".

Maybe Thaksin wants to learn a thing or two from the Serbs. Allegedly he killed a few thousand druggies when he first came to power, while Serbs managed to kill way over 250 thousand during their "struggle" for Greater Serbia in the 1990s. Different league totally.

Yes, I've seen it here for years. Mostly Thais and many farang.

That's not inane.  How long have you lived in Thailand.  If ever?

Fourteen years continuously, and before that I've been coming here since 1973 at least once or twice a year. And you?

a quarter- point above the record low.

Make that a quarter-point BELOW the record low and you mage get a handful of farang tourists back, and you may even export Yingluck's rotten rice to some hungry nation.

Many criticized the formation of a special unit dedicated to dealing with crime by African Americans in Chiang Mai, it seemed far too narrow a niche, but, to be fair, the Black Hawk Detective Unit does appear to be justifying it's existence. This is now the tenth offender in just one month who has caused damage but does not have the 50K necessary to buy their way out of incarceration.

I am not American, is $1,600 genuinely too much money for US citizens to assemble? Can other US friends not lend them the money?

I am probably naive, but I assumed that everyone had at least some emergency money in reserve, particularly if they are in the habit of getting drunk and smashing up cars while visiting other countries.

I do not feel any primal need to inflict harm on other people while I am drunk, but even I have some money in reserve for emergencies. Surely everyone does this, regardless of color?

Just to be clear, I respect that black culture is different, I understand that the perpetrator is not responsible for what he has done and that this is squarely the fault of white privilege.

Maybe he's got the cash but wants to try GoFundMe route first?
