ThaiRath presented a less dramatic story, stating the person has mental health issues, has been taken to a psychiatric facility and will thereafter be cared for by an organisation for homeless people.

^ evil foreigner? Face it they're just more euro-trash, if you think leaving an unconscious person on the ground is ok, well up to you, whole incident quite unnecessary and regardless of the cause, no need for this man to have that degree of injury.

Well off the mark there in terms of holidaymakers. The 2022 UK tourism figure to Thailand is 4.7%. Four-point-seven. For January to August 2022, UK tourist number is 204,231 from a total of 4,378,920. They make up 19.8% of the combined European total of 1,030,003. Perhaps not the contribution you expected?

Restaurante Pelicanos, Ko Proet, south Chanthaburi coast, 13 October 2022 Don't know when this closed - over 10 years at least. Now the frontage is 'Instagrammable' ... even made a magazine cover And also on Ko Proet: La Fabrica Muerte - the Death Factory Just what went on here?

The photo in OP - think you're wrong - this is the MG with front end damage this is the other car he hit - owner Ms. Savitree Seesun was slightly injured and was admitted to Banglamung Hospital. Her red Nissan sedan was also damaged by the British driver.

There were five people killed by elephants in Chanthaburi province in November 2021; two in September 2022, a temple monk, and also a forest ranger died in Pong Nam Ron where this elephant was killed.

A factor in not changing jobs for middle management is the loyalty bonus system many employers operate, the longer duration of employment, the higher the annual bonus. To leave for what be a higher annual salary can be a big step backwards in terms of actual annual income when starting back at 'year one'

Essentially, requirement for producing a death certificate. For some of the adults killed, the teacher and provincial admin office staff, may be covered by insurance through their employment.

Not correct. Cremated yesterday at Wat Mai Nong Hin, Udon Thani as the abbot agreed for the cremation to take place there; four monks performed the ceremony. Link to ThaiRath News

Driving lesson from the late Robert Loggia in 'Lost Highway' "Tailgating is one thing I cannot tolerate"

Don't know that %, but for anyone earning under 12,500 baht a month, that's 500 a day for four six day weeks, well above the daily minimum rates, they'd be exempt: Annual: Income Band 0 – 150,000 Exempt 150,000 – 300,000 5% 300,000 – 500,000 10% 500,000 – 750,000 15% 750,000 – 1,000,000 20% 1,000,000 – 2,000,000 25% 2,000,000 – 5,000,000 30% 5,000,001 + 35%

The difference between salary and earnings. My partner is an accountant for a company of 155 staff. Only around 20 are on permanent/fixed salary, with 130 employed on daily rates between 400-1200 baht per day. As it's an engineering / roading business there's always work for the professional staff whereas the site workers are subject to weather restrictions. Two new graduate engineers started in September on initial salary of 22,000 baht/month. Different roles also get allowances - vehicle, fuel, accomodation subsidy, bonuses, which keeps the gross amount down. Not Chiang Mai specific as the OP requested, but the Bank of Thailand provides average wage data based on company wages deposits nationwide - doubt it has changed since this as wages didn't increase during Covid, at 31 December 2020 it was just over 16,000 baht / month. But, yes, another but, there are still plenty of registered companies paying employees in cash (refer the 3.4 million baht payroll robbery in Chonburi last month). Then all the cash-only self-employed and small businesses who don't furnish income data, or pay tax. So after all that a lot of guesswork. Except to say she found that 103k median figure impossible to accept, based upon some expat executive survey at a guess.

Because the two others 'customers' were caught having girl/s taken to their hotel room. As they are both charged with crimes related to under 15 child as well as other offences this would suggest the 12 year old. Clear enough.

These children, as young as 12, were being taken by the bar owner to his 'clients' in Pattaya hotels. If you think that's OK, well . . . There was a very similar situation in 2015 when an Englishman, 70s, based in Sa Kaeo and his wife - with a bar in Pattaya - were charged with under-age procurement; she served 3 yrs 9 months of a 5 year jail sentence; he died at his home pending his own court appearance - reported as 'natural causes' but more likely self-inflicted. Unrelated but he was a regular poster on this forum under its previous name, a regular Philippines tourist with his Pattaya 'friends'. A pity he took the easy way out. Also - the Thai Police site lists the Brish man's surname as Thacker.

My NZ DL has the class category number accompanied by pictures of the class represented - for me, car and motorcycle.

Incredible. We're south of you - Chanthaburi; from about 6.45 this evening we had the heaviest downpour/ strong winds in our 11 yrs here; passed over in around 40 minutes. I'm thinking this is my fault - today I declared end of rain season and started a garden tidy-up and weed spraying.

A great fightback from 1-3 down v Dominican Republic last night, to win 3-2 on tiebreaker (31-29, 16-25, 21-25, 25-22, 15-11) and qualifying for the second round. Schedule v Türkiye - Won v Poland - Lost v Croatia - Won v Korea - Won v Dominican Republic - Won Round 2 v Canada (world ranked 15th) - 4 October v Germany (14) - 5 October v Serbia (4) - 7 October v USA (1) - 8 October

Once upon a time - from when we lived in Sa Kaeo 2010, the plastic bowl/bucket exchange pickup truck "We're all going on a summer holiday . . . "

Thai news reported it as being "up to ten million" - maybe that's their starting balance to go out topping up ATMs, depends how far into the run they were as to how much in the safe - they'd also be collecting from the deposit part of each ATM. As you mention, police wouldn't know

July 2019 my partner was cycling to the gym, about 500m from home hit from the side by a dog, no warning, knocked off and hit the road; bitten on the leg, plus grazes and bruising. Company insurance covered all medical and lost-time costs incl the rabies vaccinations. We'd been in this house a year at that time, aware of the dog there as it always barked, but hadn't chased/bitten previously. Owners denied it was theirs, 'just a dog we feed' and a suggestion she shouldn't be cycling if it was a problem. It went on holiday a few weeks later. Perhaps it will have a better persona in the next life.

and in our conservative Chanthaburi town - for the swimming pool complex within the fitness park area, no tshirt/shorts permitted for women swimmers - swimsuits and swimcaps provided for hire; and for men, no 'beach-baggy' shorts allowed either - cycle shorts style (never speedos).

Been a regular at our local fitness park 11 years; running track, badminton, outdoor exercise/gym equipment, basketball, futsal, takraw, tai chi, aerobics, indoor gym . . . all definitely 'shirt-on'.

A good win for Thailand v Croatia - 3-0 (25-18, 25-13, 25-21)

The Polish #9 last night, Magdalena Stysiak, is 2.03m, that's 6'8" In comparison, Thailand's tallest, Thatdao Nuekjang is 184cm, 6' 1/2"
