If I was to show articles like these to people in the UK, they would just look at me like I was a complete idiot. Never ever seen such a ' rotten to the core ' alleged legitimate Police force where the majority don't even know the law or how to apply it. The whole system needs scrapping and starting again from scratch. Corruption starts at the highest levels of government and law and order and filters right down to the fruit sellers in the streets.

Makes me wonder who conducts, decides and makes these awards. Mind you, it's Thailand, you can make anything up.

Quite possible at aged 93, the old woman's marbles have gone! However, the sad state of affairs is how these people live, dream and sleep lottery. It's a constant topic in my village and every Thai I know up here is addicted to both the legal and the illegal lotteries. It's either the lottery, ganja growing, or ' do I want to buy some land ' ( because they are all chasing commissions) and a good sprinkling of talking about their neighbors behind their backs! Not many have the same enthusiasm for seeking gainful employment.!

To be replaced by another one very quickly.

They closed their eyes and ears and were oblivious to common sense as soon as the daft salaries of 100,000 baht to 150,000 for cleaning rooms was mentioned. Imagine in a country of approximately 1.3 billion people, they can't find local hotel maids! Stupid is what stupid does and you just can't educate Pork!

Well, come on!............. how can the Aussies call anybody a criminal.......????

This is a classic case simply of ' Words fail me! ' as to the pittance they have handed over to this poor kids family and all the other kids families who were injured. This shows the sheer contempt they have for the average family in this country. The boys life and dreams are gone, his family and their hopes for his future with career etc all gone! And the monetary value placed on him is 235,000 baht.

He must have been residing continuously in the UK for the last two years to claim PIPS.

Yeah, A right ' tough guy ' who obviously has an overly inflated ego, a pea sized brain and just an as*wipe! This is what happens when you drink on an empty head! As if a young twenty year old girl would behave as he claims in a busy restaurant in full view and him sat with a table full of people!

Why do they bother these Thai kids trying to be smart or pull the wool over people eyes? They are not even good at it and crumble as soon as an authority figure puts the slightest pressure on them. Silly <deleted>, if he didn't have enough cash for a restaurant, go eat a bowl of noodles and take a small bottle of Regency with you.

Which accounts for why 99.9% of Thais want their plates blurred out!

I did it two weeks ago at Kalasin. No fee, but I arrived near lunchtime so it took two hours!

We never cook in the house and never have. The extractor hood still has the plastic on from when it was originally installed years ago. The kitchen remains unused except for the microwave and kettle. All our food is prepared outside on a BBQ with oven. I have also found with not cooking food in the house, we never get vermin, although we live in a rural area. A tragedy for the firemen, the school and more importantly the little boy and his family. RIP.

The beard and the hairy chest gave him away.

What no fingers pointing or giant whiteboard to outline the facts of the case? Just masks to cover their ugly corrupt faces! They mete out corruption and cheat on a daily basis then cry foul when the same treatment is handed out to them!

They don't have to be Chinese owned, they just make and agree contracts with them. One time you stay there and rhe next time you visit, the place has totally changed and involved on the accommodation side with agents doing zero dollar tours!

Well they never learn, how many times does this happen in this country?

Don't know why somebody posts a confused emoji. My statement was crystal clear

So the pretend soldiers mother is more concerned that he has been exposed and had his ' reputation damaged ' than the three women he cheated and lied to?

You credit them with too much, there is no intelligence in the RTP, artificial or otherwise.

Yes, You can get a lot of Middle Easterners in there for very long periods of time, especially Kurds, Iraqis, Iranians as their Embassies are not interested and their families have no money for airfares and fines.

Yeah, They want to make swiping 2 million baht handbags at the airport easier, opening Gambling dens in Bangkok, online gambling and romance scams and allow the triads easier access. What a great idea, I suppose we shall all have to get up at 5.30 am in the hotels to stand a chance at breakfast.

That's seven holes in one!

I had a request from Wise for ID and face recognition the other week whilst I was down in Cambodia staying in a hotel when I made a transfer instead of my usual home address in Thailand. I provided it, it said it matched and sent the money in minutes.

The room was good for a government hospital. I initially was placed on a mixed ward with some very sick elderly people, both male and female. I had booked and requested a private room. I was near the toilets and had the unfortunate experience of witnessing bedpans and urine containers coming past my bed being emptied and cleaned by family members. They were also bed bathing their relatives who could not walk to the toilets. A fairly humbling experience was there showing the depth of feelings and respect these Thais showed to their relatives. it was a whole new world being moved to a private room. The room meals were fairly basic but in with the price and I gave them to my partner who stayed with me and slept on the sofa bed beside mine. They also supplied toiletries package included, but I had taken my own so I gave them away to a patient as I was leaving.
