In terms of sequence, did he bathe in the water he had already defecated in ?

Public toilets have been tried but everything inside, and I mean everything, gets nicked.

Will the Swiss Expat be allowed to stay in Thailand or not?
Let's see who have it right.

Difficult to forecast. On balance I think he will probably stay.

I got angry once, when I was too broke to buy Mercedes GT63s

 

In my case a Ferrari SF 90 Stradale.

An utter farce, based on a vote-buying promise made without any idea as to how it would be financed. Question now is how will the loan be re-paid ?

The article suggests that the park started seven years ago so perhaps seven years of successful operation provides his income?  Perhaps the money for the villa and his cars was allocated before his savings were exhausted, perhaps the cars are financed?

Perhaps, but the villa is rented, and the flights could not have been pre-paid. Certainly a rather extravagant life-style based on people bathing with, and taking pictures of, a few elephants.

The American judicial system is very, very broken. Had he not had $5 million dollars to spend on a legal team back then he would have been found guilty. Any American can get away with virtually any crime if they have enough money to throw at a great legal team. It's just the way the system is built. 

Understood, however, if I was found not guilty in a criminal court only to be later found guilty in a civil court I may feel somewhat aggrieved, and somewhat reluctant to fork out 30m plus US dollars.

Methinks you are right. No need for a tediously long report.

Nice one !

Mum was right. I was given the same advice. But proof reading on any site is almost unheard of in today's fast moving digital world (BTW, take a look at the spelling of your second word and the failure to capitalize your second "I"). Just sayin'.

Second word looks ok to me.

Possibly, but that makes kicking her not only thuggish but also stupid.

For many years Thammasat has been the source of radical thinking in Thailand, and many of it's students have paid the ultimate price without ever achieving change, up to now...

LOL, The Teflon Don....Nothing sticks on him!

I sense he is over-estimating the power of his wealth and may well find himself back in exile yet again. The ruling establishment don't take kindly to people like him.

When did Brighton become a beach where nudity is OK

There has been a nude beach at Brighton for many years, to the west of the main beaches. 

Good for her for not being a parsimonious, grovelling do-gooder.

Or perhaps the airline could ban her from flying with them, and circulate her details to other airlines? 

She's a dangerous, entitled idiot...a few long distance bus trips might give her time to reconsider.

Lighten up.

And nothing happened? Unbelievable!

Nothing unusual happened on any flight I was on. Smokers smoked in the smoking section, non- smokers didn't smoke in the non- smoking section. Live and let live in those days. Not any more.
