And now it is confirmed.

 

Both samples originated from the same company, which had previously been ordered to cease production by the Thai Industrial Standards Institute in December.

 

 

Two substandard steel samples linked to collapsed Bangkok building

However, she noted that these samples are not sufficient to conclude that they were responsible for the building collapse. The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) will collect more samples and inspect the factory to determine whether it has illegally produced or transported steel.

Nothing is confirmed. Half of Bangkok is probably built with this rebar and those buildings are still standing. 

This reeks of a pseudo investigation for normie public consumption.  Bad rebar ! 3 days after the earthquake and the investigation is done. Bad rebar made the building collapse. What a joke. 

It takes 28 days for concrete to cure. When was the last pour?  Is it normal for buildings to be earthquake proof while they are under construction? Google says no. No, half-built buildings are not inherently earthquake-proof; their seismic resistance depends on the design, materials, and construction methods used, which are typically not fully implemented during the early stages of construction

Nobody knows why this building collapsed. There hasn't been an investigation. Has the engineered design of the building been checked ? 3 days in ? There could be something wrong with the engineering of the building. But we don't know yet. My guess is the partial state of construction of the building and the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that it was in the middle of played a part.

That's not a request ... That's a smart ass insult. Could have smiled and said "excuse me I need to leave". Considering the time of day, the place and the fact that there were a group of lady boys ... not one of the most "street smart" tourists. 

 

 

He got off lucky.

It appears that the accused was found guilty of assaulting the victim in a drunken brawl and was sentenced in a court of law. I'm not sure I, even as a family member, would want to resurrect this case after so many years.

Because the victim died in 2021. They found that the cause of death was directly related to the assault that happened in 2012. So now it becomes a murder investigation. 

If you beat someone senseless with a piece of steel pipe, but it takes them 12 years to die, you become a murderer the day that person dies. 

I wonder where this fine chap Sean Tinsely is today

Deep condolences to the family of Adam .

I just heard it was brought up on Crimewatch .So as,I haven't seen it yet. I have no clue what and why etc etc ?

Your pal Sean went back to the bar that night and bragged about what he did with the metal pipe in the attack

If this is true, and he cannot be let out on bail, then overstay of this length is not worth it, and ill-advised.

I would never attempt such a thing.

 

And, think of all the stress throughout the past 25 years.

What, I ask you, makes someone do such a thing, anyway???

 

 

He probably made peace with his decision and thought he was going to get caught at any moment. He probably wasn't stressed. Its not like he had a meth lab or something. 

It doesn't sound like there was much of a method to this guy's madness

Quote

Officers checked during the operation on areas regularly frequented by foreigners and found the Briton, who failed to show his passport.

The cops just went to a place frequented by farangs and there he was. That's a lesson for those who want to break his record. Don't go to the farang dives.

Big loss of face for immigration !!!!!

Yawn

There are so many interesting aspects of this case that could be discussed. How he did it, what kind of a social life he had (probably none) ect. But it is 8 pages of these lame put-downs of immigration. 

Which is ironic considering all of the time and energy that most of the posters on this site spend getting their papers right. The reality is, the vast majority of you can't get anything past Thai immigration and you live in fear of them

Umm do you think they should start going after Thai citizens for overstays ? 

At least try to be coherent when you're bashing Thailand.

Well WOW !!!!   show how effective immigration enforcement is,  big lose of face on this one !

As opposed to where ? The United states or the EU ?  Get real.

I don't see what the big deal is.

What do people think these professional gold diggers are doing in the meantime as they try and make it big ?  These kinds of women who hang around celebrity clubs are the same thing as walking street freelancers. And there's nothing wrong with that. Some are just better at covering their tracks than others. A player like Jude Bellingham doesn't want that serious of a relationship. This works for both of them. 

Jude Bellingham, the British soccer star, is attracting attention not only for his skills on the field of play, but also for his personal life.

Recently, it was revealed that his current girlfriend, Ashlyn Castro, had a profile on a “luxury escort website” in Europe. This revelation has caused a wave of discussion on social networks and online media.

Ashlyn, who was born on December 17, 1997 in Long Beach, California, is 27 years old according to official records, however, there are unfounded rumors suggesting that she is actually 32 years old.

Umm it would be easy enough for me to take the 18 year old and reject everyone else. For this exact reason. He'd be in no trouble at all if he used his brains

Why is this **** not illegal? wait, it is, but they're doing nothing to enforce it.

Let me guess, you would allow cigarettes to be legal while making vapes illegal.  

This is what happens when fabricated narratives make the rounds. It is hopeless

Keep living in denial. It's a FACT vaping is just as dangerous as smoking if not more so. It's a nice excuse for smokers "I'm not smoking, just inhaling harmless vapor" - but it's not harmless, especially not when the vape fluid comes from questionable sources like China.

That is a completely ridiculous statement. That is like saying natural gas is just as bad or worse than leaded gasoline. You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts. 

Making vapes illegal or prohibitively expensive is the exact thing that will drive all vape production underground and that is what will make it more and more dangerous as it is unregulated with zero quality control. And if you had your way, that is what would happen. And it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. And the harder you clamp down on it, the worst the quality control gets. This is what happened with the opiate crisis in the US

It entirely depends on WHAT you are vaping!  Buying vape liquids from reputable companies is a must, if you vape.  
I quit smoking soon 10 yrs ago and replaced with vaping.  My lungs are in better shape than when smoking.  That being said, obviously I should quit vaping too, but at my advanced age I’ve decided to hang on to one vice 😂

There is a general consensus from non-biased research that vaping is less harmful for your lungs since you are not inhaling a burning product, AND if you purchase decent vape liquids the amount of carcinogens are a fraction of what is used in cigarettes.

There is no equivalent carcinogen in vapes that are found in cigs
