With all the trivial stuff this guy spends his days on, he's definitely underemployed. His master in hospital should give him some proper work to do.

Hm,...It's the journalists that spend there time with trivial stuff,....

You would think the Marine Police or Coast Guard would inspect these vessels, wouldn't you?

Of course, but this is how inspections are carried out !!!

Classic ... sadly he'll only get a small fine, instead of jail & deportation.  

 

Hopefully the wife won't bail him out, and his bags will be curbside when he does get out.   Almost feel sorry for her.  Imagine living with someone like that ... Holy Buddha.   Obviously has no respect for himself, let along anyone else.

Hm,..I don't think he will get a small fine. He assaulted a police officer ! and that results in loosing face to the so called officer !!,..we will see, if this article is followed up.

To an ol' man like me this is nearly incomprehensible. But I guess it must be good or they wouldn't be doing it.

Hm,...what's good in there eyes isn't necessary good in other's eyes !

Good on them if the market can bear it... it's called enterprise... or are only the Western countries allowed to profit from their national parks?  Yellowstone is 800 baht per car to enter park... then differing prices for the attractions.

Hm,...Yellowstone is a huge park and you can get there by car as you said. I'm sure it's worth it's 800 baht !!!

Well, who'd have guessed that? 🙄🙄🙄 And the masses responded with....silence! I think they deserve all they get for being so submissive, I mean, 68 million who just bend and cop it? No sympathy here! 

Hm,...Maybe those masses know exactly how things work out here and know there are powerless to change anything about it.

R.I.P. to those poor guys,...they probably were set up to make the RTP look good !!! and the recipient of the goods not having to pay for them.

"people" who "lost" their lives? These were the worst of the worst violent dregs of society. Trafficking in human misery and suffering. They weren't selling joints on a street corner. They opened fire first, that's literally attempted murder. How many other people do you think these people may have murdered in the course of their daily business? They were justifiably shot dead as they attempted more murder. Their lives weren't "lost", they were put down like the animals they were, and they deserve no rest, no peace, but an eternity of burning in heII

Hm,..Imagine, poor people been paid to transport some bags without knowing the content of those bags,...!?

And by the way,..there was only one gun found !?!? a shoot out ??? and 15 death on one side ??? and no casualties on the other ??? yeah sure !!!

No doubt the result of a shoot to kill policy. A few bullets is much cheaper than a trial and imprisonment.

You are on the right track,....except,... "A few bullets is much Better than the truth coming out about the destination of those pills,...Imagine the buyer been in collusion with some Police / Military and taking care of business in a way that he don't have to pay for the goods,...!?,...it's just a wild theory,...but T.I.T.

2 million pills is a small shipment nowdays, Id say it was a diversion to keep the army busy while 10 million or so went a different route.  Looks as though the army was informed beforehand and ambushed the diversionary shipment hence no casualties and they came out the heros.

.."When authorities approached for inspection, the group, armed with unidentified firearms, opened fire, leading to a 5-minute confrontation. Fortunately, the military emerged unscathed" ......"the military emerged unscathed" !?!?  Yes, Indeed it looks like a ambush !!

If the credit card was stolen, it will cost them nothing. If they payed 500 Euro as a fine / bribe / scam, thats 20'000 THB. Nowhere near the 600'000 THB they claim. Sounds more like a scam from their side. 

Read the article !!!

How do we know he was not promoted on merit.  Just because he is related to a Hi-So does not necessarily mean his promotion was not deserved!

Give the man a break, this is more likely just mere mud raking without facts!

There always has to be one that respects the government's deeds despite the evidence in many previous cases.

I've been coming here for over 30 years and also lived here. Is that good for you? 

I don't know where you were hanging out but this was a great country to visit and travel. I've been to every corner of Thailand. 

What I experience today is nothing like over 30 years ago. 

Yes,...But the roads and infrastructure are better !,... I came here first some 30 years ago and traveled all around SE Asia as well for all those years,...

Totally fake news. It's been proven on multiple occasions that prostitution does not exist in Pattaya.

Totally agree. The level of cynicism on here is verging on the point of mental instability and definitely unhealthy. To a degree, it can be understandable, but it is completely unnecessary to spout so much unbelievable cynicism at such a horrific accident, particularly when one does not know AT ALL what the cause may have been. The driver may have been very capable and responsible. There are a host of reasons this could have happened that don't include negligence or incompetence. And if that many people died in the accident, it's pretty likely that the driver is among the poor souls that perished. It is so incredibly crude to cast aspersions on the deceased, especially when it is complete conjecture, expecting the worst of the person about which one knows absolutely nothing. So many uncouth classless people seem to be drawn like a magnet to social media. What could be such a better point of access for a tighter knit community becomes a cesspool.

RIP to so many and condolences to those who knew them.

Hm,...Best response I read in a long time,...Thanks for that moment of Lucidity

With a population of nearly 72 millions and buss going everywhere day and night such accidents, by statistics, are bound to happen,
