Tell me a European country that would carry out such ridiculous and extreme measures as you are proposing just to go on holiday! There would be an exodus, all the way back to countries that didn't enforce such nonsense. Where do criminal record checks start and finish by the way? When are they considered minor? When are they considered ;' spent ' convictions? When you have convicted drug traffickers who served time in Australian prisons, (a country with a strong rule of law and order and a good respectable court system) in the present day Thai government, how is that going to work? Many of the Thais wouldn't be able to leave Thailand if such proposals were put in place by other countries as a reciprocal agreement to such a proposal.

Singapore has ' real governance ' and proper management of its infrastructure and amenities.

What about those in established relationships without children both with Thai women and Thai men? The first thing the Thai Elites do is to buy houses and land in countries such as Canada, Australia and UK, especially London. It's a worldwide problem that forces locals out and prices them out of living in popular areas. Look at Sihanoukville now, it's a Chinese enclave, the local Cambodians cannot afford to live there, but not allowing foreigners to buy here in Thailand or then imposing ridiculous archaic conditions. He needn't worry, with the conditions imposed on land ownership and the amount that needs to be invested, there will be few takers except some ' corrupt Chinese mafias ' I think a lot of it is just headline grabbing by the government to try retain ' foreign interest ' in the country.

I wonder if a certain individual who spewed venom at Brits yesterday will be doing the same today against ALL " Scandinavian people? " How ridiculous would that be? No Brits involved or to be seen in this misdemeanour. Shall we flog him and deport him for daring to do this in Thailand? Because of course Thailand and its citizens always follow the laws of the land both here and abroad. It shows you that silly behavior is not the sole reserved pastime for British people

What a load of unjustified cow manure and ridiculous, biaised, racist comment against all the English, Irish, Welsh, and Scots people as a collective. You have one clown skinny dipping and you want to attack 4 nations? You need to get a life.

Whose attacked them? Certainly not me! Why you trying to use vague generalised comparisons which don't exist?

Usually if he is convicted by the provincial court and if he pleaded ' not guilty ' he will get bail whilst it goes to the Appeal court, if he loses there, he will apply for bail until it goes to the Supreme court. This can go on for anything up to 12 years or more with backlog, delays and stalling. I have just checked and found a link on the Bangkok Post which states he pleaded ' not guilty ' thus entitling him to bail.

I think the noble present leadership will sell the assets and buy computers, Sports equipment and much needed safe transportation for the poor kids at school in Isaarn. You know, share the ill gotten gains for a good cause that will benefit rural Thailand. There again, maybe not, I've heard there's a Rolex watch sale coming up!

That would definitely be us lot!

He will be out on appeal for sure right up to the Supreme court and that takes years and years.

Well I always was asked. From " Do you want to sponsor our football team " and we can do your extension this morning...to " I am going on my lunch, if you want quick service, speak to my colleague " Even worse, come back tomorrow! So, we may have different experiences, but don't imply mine was wrong. I hated that office. And " for balance" this has never occurred in Kalasin!

I hated going there for extension renewals and the corrupt officials in that place. I was so pleased when Kalasin opened its own immigration office. A far more friendly office and you just pay the required fees, without pressure for tea money!

Practice makes perfect.....????

Fabulous.....????????

Absolutely, Even my hometown is littered with Thai massage parlors, Thai restaurants acting as ' fronts ' for growing weed etc Also, Thai women who have separated from British husbands ' on the game '

It probably shares the same chassis as the Toyota 4X4 2.8i Rocco that I just got rid of after just short of 4 years! Apples and Oranges........ or sour grapes? Does your 14 year old truck or my nearly 4 year old truck have all thew latest tech and gadgets that the new Legender has? New body shape, new lights, new exterior and plush interior, seats 7, automatic boot opening and closing, cloud tracking in case of theft, loaded dash with latest apps etc etc? Nope, I don't think so! I can afford it, I liked and so I bought it.

I'll tell you what I know. I traded in a 4x4 2 8i Toyota Truck with less than 30,000Km. I bought the Legender. I am happy. I don't spend my days going through the " thread to the needle " on cars. I made a comment, its a happy purchase. Thats it, thats all Ask me one on hotels, bars and discotheques and I can answer you with what I have exoert knowledge of.

Yeah, And for all the wrong reasons!

Yes, I have been in trucks now for 12 years. I did have a Fortuner 14 years ago but this is streets ahead of that car.

Ford doesn't seem to have national coverage for maintenance as much as Toyota does. Also, Porsche and Benz are a totally different animal and price range. I am happy with my decision to buy the Toyota Legender.

I love the current tuna version

Lights, dashboard, interior , all round cameras including 3D, and a panel loaded with apps. Also a very comfortable leather interior. 6'3" I dont have an issue getting in and out. Never thought to ask my other half, but she hasn't complained...????

I am 6' 3" it's not a problem that I noticed

I disagree on that unless you were in a different car to what I am driving. I find the interior sleek and way better than previous models But each to their own.

I think the two Frenchmen should get fifty lashes each, then taken out to be hung, drawn and quarted , after this they should be fined and compensation awarded to this poor innocent Thai ' victim ' as has already been decided by the court of opinion on TVF. Then their remains should be deported, And then blacklist their ' ashes ' Their car should be handed over to Ferrari Joe as he knows what to do with such items. Any Rolex's found in their abode, hand them over to the Deputy PM.
