Mugged twice in Manila, never troubled anywhere else in East Asia.

I assume you are attempting to be funny. This lady is well-known and has no need for this kind of publicity. I suspect the CCTV footage will either be faulty or lost, and the issue will never be clarified. Interesting, though, that it was a Thai member of the group who handed over the money to the police. She'd better disappear for a while. She could be in real danger.

Always very busy around Christmas, the new year, and Chinese new year. Nothing new about that. Add catch-ups after the covid restrictions. Hardly surprising it's all a bit hectic.

What happened to all the conventional toilets ? Rank stupidity to have got rid of them.

If he did that he was asking for trouble. Confrontations at 4am in a bar/nightclub area never a good idea in any country.

Good question. More likely the RTP conducted this raid for some other reason.

Very well said.

I had exactly the same experience, in person, at CW recently. Old and new passports and embassy letter were all that were needed. I have never once used an agent in over 40 hassle-free years.

If you have a complaint, such as corruption, regarding a foreign police force, you 'phone interpol.

The treatment these poor animals receive is utterly disgusting. Cruel beyond belief. Shame on you Thailand.

Snake shows should have been banned years ago.

RTP desperately trying to gain some benefit notwithstanding the easing of restrictions on cannabis.

75 million voted for him. Watch your immature language.

A protest against a highly suspect election result more like.

Hopefully. The alternative is for the conflict to go on for the foreseeable future.

Whether or not these were genuine Thai police, it is bad for Thailand's image. No reason for the Taiwanese lady to have made up this story.

You can go anywhere you choose im th EU unless you can't be bothered to obtain the relevant visas. Not exactly an onerous ecercise.

One of the few good things people say about Trump is that he doesn't do self-pity. In other words he never 'wallows in his sorrows'.

Well done by all concerned. I hope the baby pachyderm will live a long and happy life.

A load of BS from the 'spokesman'. It's all about how the proceeds are apportioned within the RTP.

It remains to be seen. Most complex tax returns involve a great deal of dialogue with the authorities before they are agreed.

I get all EPL matches on True without fail.

My advice ? Always build a brick wall topped with broken glass or some such. A cheap pair of pliers will make a large hole in that mesh in no time at all.

Many of us could have told you that was going to happen. Thai immigration have their rules and procedures, as do all countries. Before embarking on any course of action involving the immigration authority here, best to do a bit of research first.

I must assume this is meant as a joke, in which case 5 out of 10 for the attempt, otherwise take a serious reality check combined with a hefty degree of honest introspection.
