Released on bail? 10/1 the fight resumes or they fail to answer bail.

This sort of sexual  behaviour is not uncommon - even in the UK!

As a former forensic scientist in the UK Police Service, several bestiality cases were received in our laboratory. The victims were mainly cows and dogs. Sheep, horses and pigs were rare.

One of the first cases I was made aware of joining the job 50 years ago was of a farm labourer pleasuring himself with a live chicken. The farmer was not amused and neither were the magistrates.

In Taiwan you can hire wailing mourners to lead your funeral procession, also dancers to ride on the funeral vehicles. They know how to do a send off there!

The substandard materials are one thing, but designing the lift shaft on the edge instead of at the centre was a really stupid act.

I walk through from Asoke towards the Clubhouse to see some mates and the annoying thing is the number of motorcycles cutting through it. Time it was pedestrianised.

Any zero -dollar Chinese steel reinforcement factories operating here? 
 

Serm to remember a massive explosion and fire in a chemical factory outside Bangkok a couple of years ago, wasn’t that Chinese-owned as well?

Without bothering to publish the actual website address.

i can foresee many scam agents diverting potential applicants to their sites to traffic and cheat them. 

And yet many Thai restaurants rarely offer sugar-free drinks and 3 in 1 coffee remains ubiquitous.

Of course hiso sugar producers don’t want to see consumption reduced as it hits profits. The tax just diverts some of the profit to the Government. 

The wet surface is not the problem, it is the excessive speed for the conditions and possibly the physical condition of the bus that is. 
 

Like lots of things here, the surface appearance of the vehicle is deemed far more important than the underlying mechanics and frame. The latter can have been rebodied repeatedly. 
 

Time for the Government to forget about posturing for car scrappage schemes and set about encouraging the manufacture of new buses and the scrapping and breaking up of the old ones.
 

Training and regulation of drivers could also be overhauled if they want to raise Thailand’s reputation as a safe holiday destination. 

When you have dealt with as many collisions as I did in my former career and watched non-seat belt wearers die , you don’t need any convincing to make you and your passengers wear seat belts.

for all the know-alls whinging about fire, drowning etc, these sort of incidents are very rare and account in most countries for less than 5% of collisions. You stand  a much better chance of survival and escape if you are wearing your belt when it collides and catches fire or enters the water.

If fuelled by petrol or gas, there is always a strong risk of fire.

There should be some regulation mandating the use of diesel or other less flammable fuel when passengers are carried. Proper risk management.

Possibly a dry run with a stolen bag to cast suspicion on the Chinese owner.

Surprised that the police at the airport don’t use sniffer dogs to check the luggage as they do at many Western locations.

perhaps more interested in illegal imports than exports.

In the UK the biggest abstracters of electricity are cannabis farms, which need it for heat and light indoors. Here where it’s legal to grow, the bitcoin miners come top of the electricity theft league.
