Murder requires premeditated intention to kill. This is manslaughter which can also carry a very high tariff sentence based on the circumstances (drunk is very high tariff)

Most (All?)European countries will have jail time for causing death while driving drunk. U.K. recently increased the maximum penalty (death by dangerous driving = being drunk) to 14 years . You’ll find it very difficult and expensive to get insurance after a drink conviction too,probably impossible if you’ve killed some one.

Don’t worry,you’ll very quickly forget the sleight… ????

This is exactly my understanding too. My rental income ,private and uk state pensions are uk generated income which I have to pay uk tax on despite living outside the country. My BA pilot friend living in France is able to avoid paying most of his uk tax only on the basis that his income is being generated outside the uk (while flying) but even then calculations are made based on his rosta for the time on each flight he’s in uk airspace when taking off /landing for which he’s liable for tax !

I stopped teaching because I had the feeling I was teaching alzheimer patients.... They forget, don't think, copy but don't know what they copy and after 6 years English as a Thai English teacher told me they still don't know the ABC... So sure there is something missing A few of my friends and I jokingly christened it the "Thai Thick gene", but increasingly I don’t think it is a joke and more of a sad reality .

That would be a very,very short article! Try Googling Thai scientific achievements…

Maybe send a probe. Into Saturn’s ring… ????

The rationale is that over time witness memories become unreliable and evidence corrupted or even lost. The exceptions to this are usually murder where new evidence can surface many decades after an unsolved crime (dna)or rape ,especially of a minor where the victim only comes forward to complain when an adult.

Oh him again ? He wrote an ill informed financial article here showing his complete economic illiteracy for which he rightly received excoriating criticism

No he has to go via thailand to add to the tourist statistics!

He wants them for his feet ! ????

Then you haven’t understood HS2 objectives which is to do with increasing overall capacity and moving more freight off the roads. Please inform your opinions better.

They’ll market it as the Lop Buri of the south .

We’re they the same guys who left the fourth brother behind when responding to an advertisement " Tree fellers"…

Another clue which you’ve overlooked is that it is wholly owned by a SPANISH company IAG. You may with some merit decry the passenger experience but pre pandemic it was highly successful commercially making very good profits. So that rather pulls the rug from under most of your argument..

I would think this really only pertains to the current peak of European summer holidays season and they would have largely sorted this issue come November (winter) . The vast majority of BAs cancellations related to European short haul,so I’m inclined to think that their commercial managers still think that Thailand is not going to be worth the effort for the country’s usual high season,or is still too unpredictable based on its behavior over the pandemic to be worth the risk /investment of reopening (and I’m inclined to agree) . Do many here imagine that compared to normal November- January tourist figures Thailand will not only attract a fraction of those numbers ?

Girls in fish tanks? This is a problem on what scale ?…

Groundhog Day topic… ????

Even if caught they can likely get away with it with a relatively modest payment to the correct source. Their problem comes when it results in a serious accident ,as it will for some and then there’s a wholly different and unenviable set of circumstances for a farang that’ll make them regret ever having come here in the first place.

My full face helmet does all of that AND protects me from the biggest danger (accident) too…

His critics were less kind…. ????

The true revelation is how many of them (on motorcycles) were wearing helmets…

Quite,the market working exactly as it’s supposed to.

As a U.K. expat here I have been able to 1) Renew a lease on my rented house there 2) Renew my driving licence (they lift a photograph from my passport simply by giving them the number 3) Conduct all banking 4) Apply for new credit cards 5) Submit my tax return 6) Administer my various pensions 7) Handle my investments including selling/buying shares . All this on line (including electronic signatures) without producing a single sheet of paper . Thailand's productivity figures in this area ,apart from wasted paper /storage must be appalling by comparison. It’s only the comparative low wages that ameliorates this.

Elderly,certainly ,could get a bus pass but a couple of years away from state pension age.
