As publicly stated, this has nothing to do with the Bumjauthai party being exorcised. Also, there are leprechauns riding unicorns in my back yard...

Honestly now, does this kind of stuff happen in other countries? This is like a bad South Park episode.

More in the UK tabloids :
...hundreds of thousands of young women working in the sex trade.
That's impressive for a city of 120,000 souls. I guess Daily Mail readers would consider any women under 65 to be young, otherwise you would have to revise the numbers downward to about 50.

Such a shame there was a bad apple in the police force. But now that he's been rooted out, we can be confident that all the other officers are honest and incorruptible. There won't be any more of that 'accepting bribes' nonsense anywhere in Thailand.
Also, the boys in brown have confirmed that there is no prostitution in Pattaya, so we can all sleep easy.

We're up to 2 positive comments now...yay!
This must be the most negative, miserable thread ever on AN, and that's against some tough competition over the years.
I congratulate them on being adventurous and wish them all the best. I hope it all works out 🙂

How are the F1 drivers going to react when they see a 1982 Honda Wave coming the wrong way towards them...
...with Dad (no driving license) driving and a toddler standing in front of him, Mom (no helmet) sitting behind carrying a baby, 3 kids clinging on for dear life behind her, and several chickens in a basket out front?

Absolute rubbish, there's nobody here apart from a few Russian draft dodgers & the usual strags. I don't know what they multiplied this time to get these ridicules' figures.
The original source for this is an article on MoneyTransfers.com: https://moneytransfers.com/news/2023/09/06/the-most-and-least-over-touristed-destinations-around-the-world
They just divided the number of visitors by the number of residents. This is meaningless, as you could visit Phuket 10 times in a year and count as 10 visitors. The idea of residents being outnumbered 118 to 1 is clearly nonsense.

I wonder if it was ripped on arrival?
I've heard of several reasons for not allowing someone to board, but a small rip, seriously? IMO there is something missing from this story.
Perhaps the main takeaway from this is if you are skint, don't go on holidays to foreign countries.
I had the same issue returning from Dubai a couple of years ago. At BKK, they made a big fuss about a similar small rip along the seam of my worn, 9-year old passport. It had never occurred to me that this would be an issue. I pleaded very nicely and the guy eventually agreed to let me in...as long as I promised to get the passport replaced asap.

An article on Bangkok Post clearly shows that they are discussing taxing worldwide income.
Currently, only two countries on the planet do this. The USA and Eritrea.
This is a desperate act by the Thai government, and demonstrates that things are not good.
Most countries tax your worldwide income. What makes the US different is that citizens have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam, regardless of where they live (I can't comment on Eritrea).

I try not to be pedantic about grammar, but I do think saying "I would of, could of or should of" should result in a long jail sentence.

Why eat delicious Thai food when you can eat eggs with fully-grown chicks in them.? Just in time for Halloween, too!

I saw outgoing PM Prayut polishing the gun turret on his tank.
The old guard are not out of options yet...

And now he has everyone from regular Thais to old-fart AN readers talking about him, driving traffic to YouTube and notching up a few thousand more subscribers.
That should get him from his current 13.3 million subscribers to around 15 million...plus a nice chunk of extra ad revenue.
Well done, "my mate," - excellent publicity stunt!

If they would do the list bottom up, it would be much better
Absolutely...although I think #3 will be the straw that break's the elephant's back. Look what happened to Big Joke when he tried to end corruption. Can't take away all those special brown envelopes...

I'll take a wild guess here, he's donating this money to the poor and needy of Thailand and engaged in charity work in Pattaya waling street.
Thanks, I think you've nailed it! I was baffled as to what the explanation could possibly be.

Well, at least the familiar old times are back. All we need now is a coup, so we know for sure the Land of Smiles has bounced back with a big, cheesy grin.

Well, I dug down the back of the sofa and found 100 million baht I had forgotten about. Now I just have to decide where to invest it:
Option #1: tie it all up for ten years so I can buy 1 rai of jungle in the sticks
Option #2: send it to the Nigerian prince who is offering big rewards in return for a little financial help
Difficult choice, but I'm leaning towards #2 as the safer and wiser investment.
Thoughts?

It's an EGGSciting story, that's for sure. Of course, no-one should be EGGSempt from justice, so I EGGSpect them both to be charged. No doubt the real driver is guilty of EGGSessive drinking, so should get an EGGStra-long sentence.

She also spoke Thai, has an Asian appearance and smelt of Somtam. Should be easy to identify.
