You being chief among them ..

Pick any planet,along with other comments you read they’re all going over your head. Have you managed to count to 7 yet….?

Laying a hand on someone is classed as assault. How about someone pokes your female companion.I assume you are talking from the seventh planet ..?

Whatever caused you to invent so many more assumptions than you accuse another of ..? ????‍♂️

????. Whoosh! Guess again !

So you’re ok with being slapped around a bit and handcuffed by an unauthorized (non police officer)? If you let me have your address ….? I promise not to leave any marks… ????

There are no other countries in the western hemisphere with 'America' incorporated in their name ,only the USA. So everyone understands an 'American' is USA citizen. Nor is he being accused of theft but the guard is certainly guilty of assault (even by Thai laws) which does not get excused in any situation.

That’s exactly what I told the kids… ????

Being charged isn’t the same as guilty and beforehand still presumed innocent. Charged with Very serious crimes the CPS can apply for the subject to be remanded in custody or if a flight risk to surrender passport ,but the court has to agree this. Furthermore as a uk citizen you are not stamped out by immigration.

How does that sit with the central tenet of innocent until proven guilty? Whilst that doesn’t apply in this case (awaiting sentencing) your suggestion is before even being charged !

Well there’d be the 'benefit' of significantly reducing the number of scousers on holiday here I suppose…? ????

You’re going to have to brush up on your comedic irony skills… mate (sic).

If you have to make up something I didn’t say to support an argument,then you don’t have one. Try looking up "opportunistic " . ????‍♂️

The point is that HERE the best advice in these circumstances IS not to own up to the event because you’ll simply be taken advantage of ( no good deed goes unpunished!) . To act as though you are in another country where different rules apply is both naive and indeed inadvisable. Don’t raise the false equivalence of a human casualty,it’s not the same. The owners likely have no investment in the welfare of the dog beyond using it as a cash cow to extort money from the wife of a farang. "When in Rome…."

In further developments all agreed it was a misunderstanding and it’s all "water under the bridge " now….which also has to be paid for. ????

After supposedly going to renew the deteriorating 3M film on the 4 pickup side windows with 3M lumina the wife returns with Maxxma 'carbon ceramic ' (60%) saying they didn’t have 3M and paying 2800 baht in total. While it looks ok now has anyone any experience/feedback on this brand? Apparently has a 7 year warranty (Thai warranties obviously useless in practice!) Also advice is not to open the windows for 1 week to allow it to settle (not heard of that before?). I’m not hopeful… ????

More importantly they are both hybrids,so a significant advantage in terms of efficiency and possibly resale value. The HRV is probably the newer technology (and looks more stylish) in that respect. Definitely worth considering the extra which may not be so much extra when reselling ..

You’re quite correct,there might be a narrow and short term benefit from exchange rates,but sanctions are having a devastating effect on their medium/longer term outlook. They simply can’t access the vital technical components to support any sort of industry . Apart from gas/oil which are retreating from their artificial price highs they have nothing to offer in terms of world trade. It’s economy will be devastated.

Yes and I hear they all thoroughly enjoyed last night’s Championship league match too… ????

Okay you know best... You’d only ever had to have driven an automatic to know that,so common knowledge . It takes the form of a button on the side of the shifter to be simultaneously pressed to unlock .

Which don’t include 'idiot proofing'…! ????‍♂️

While there is little contradiction that vaping is less harmful than cigarettes and that smokers switching to vaping is generally beneficial, the only issue relates to (young) non smokers taking up vaping, believing it harmless,who otherwise might not have smoked. I incline towards vaping having an overall beneficial effect when considering all factors.

When looking at the composition of such government his inclusion doesn’t really stretch credibility… ????

Yes,he clearly hit the accelerator while in R when fiddling about.But how he afterwards contrives then to shift it into D AND then stomp on the accelerator is beyond rational explanation- other than " Thai driver !" ????

Leaving the scene is far the more serious offence as it not only conspires to avoid detection/pervert the course of justice but potentially could mean the death of the third party by not attending/calling for help. She compounded that by leaving the country. Had she stayed (assuming sober) she would have been bailed pending further inquiries which may have exonerated her of blame. Even if found to be at fault (assuming no reckless driving) through misjudgment a jail spell was unlikely. Now it is very likely based on her fleeing the scene.
