While most of those arrested are wayward young people testing the boundaries between social behaviour and the law, many of them are also everyday people caught up in recreational drug use.

"testing the boundaries" I think that's a stretch!

"caught up in recreational drug use" This sounds more like reality!

Soap material.

Thai populace will peacefully rise by the millions against non-democratic, democratic government.

If Thanathorn in jail, mobs of them will tear the bars off with their bare hands and carry him on their shoulders to the big chair where he will be presented with 24 high-end watches that a dead guy used to own.

Then, party over (literally), he'll whip this country into shape like it's child's play.

Oh please, I just got all of those cornball Christmas songs out of my head.

smash it with what? the Honda Click has a screw driver under the seat that would open it.

 

I'm guessing the Op may have been a bit aggressive too with the policeman, it won't help

Yes, he does appear to be a tad upset here. Probably more upset when it happened.

I was in he Lion Pub a week or so ago and I saw a Thai man walking round, looking ,tapping on walls. I thought to myself its the sort of thing a prospective buyer would do (or possibly the landlord). I hoped then they would not be selling it.

Between my condo and Tigglebitties there were 10 bars (I've lived there for 13 years) now only the Caddy Shack is left.

The Loin pub was handy as I could go in there while my wife shopped at the market

I like how you altered the name from Lion Pub in the first sentence to Loin Pub in the last sentence. That's a handy bit of massaging. Very apropos.

i entered thailand 3 times this year, so i count as 3 tourists

 

i have a german friend who has like 6 arrivals and some filipinos get around 6 arrivals (by paying 200 baht so they look away on the 2 entry limit per year) 

 

 

thats how 3 people equal 15 tourists 

Far be it from me to ever defend TAT but I can justify the 15. Doesn't really matter if it's the same body multiple times.

The TAT number that I object to is the transient arrivals who get counted as tourists. And of course there are other non-tourist arrivals who get counted as tourists in order to inflate the tourist count.

TAT believes in "bull sh*t baffles brains".

Leadership and enforcement is the key to solving this issue.

But sadly, Thailand lacks in both from the top down.

He admitted to once earning 50,000 baht in a single day.

Have to wonder if they took him out in a commode-style-wheel chair at 3:00 AM. Or maybe on a stretcher, face down.

That's a sick slick story.

Sure Phils learn reading and writing in school. I have had two Phil "friends/s" when in my home county of Canada. Understanding either was a bitch (language, not them). They both were under the impression that they spoke good English. Maybe so but I think the problem was that they spoke fast and I couldn't comprehend. And both had been in Canada for a few years.

One was a smart, hard working, penny pinching nanny who went on from there to gain more certificates, bought her family a house in Phils and has now brought her boys to Canada. This girl was totally honest with me.

The other, also a nanny, was a lower IQ loser who got involved in drug use, stole all my money and documentation that was in a locked cupboard, one day when she was doing "paid for" house cleaning for me. Her Phil accent was also accentuated by her head being e-f-f-e-d up as a result of drugs.

These two examples are to demonstrate my opinion of their English language skills. I have never been to Phils but fail to understand why English is said to be so understandable there (where they don't speak English on a regular basis).

I wrote this in response to the posters who spoke of good English in the Philippines.

Would be nice to see a link on the announcement if that is possible. Thank you.

I Don't know about this specific case... BUT i have seen a few cases where it was obvious that the 'SAD' was not intended as a criticism to that post --- but instead meant that the situation refered to in OP  was a SAD situation.... I'm hoping that it is the case here... as I am fully in agreement with you.... I don't think this stuff is OK....

The "sad" emoji can be very ambiguous. It can be interpreted several different ways.

Thank Gawd that there is always the "universal language". The most important part of the

Thai girl/farang relationship solved.

I am confused. If nothing illegal was found then what are they pointing at in the fridge in the photo and what is the stuff on the table in front of him in the police station unless they are taking gratuitous pointing to a whole new level.

But there was no pointing in this picture.

I sometimes wonder how they gat such a group. "Hey gang, we've got a photo shoot at 1:00, all welcome".

The message is "green" @Samui Bodoh.

Congrats to the department. That's a nice haul of sh*t off the streets.

Looks good on those who were arrested.
