This is exactly what is needed. But going one step further, but nearer to home, if the parents know, (wherever they are living in this country,) that children are swimming somewhere that is likely to be dangerous, i.e., fast-flowing water/weir, steep-sided banks and deep water, etc., then surely it would take very little to construct some simple platforms or basic structures where children could get to, if in trouble in water areas such as this? I'm not saying that this is the answer, because it's true that children, as we all did, take risks, but surely these swimming areas are known to all villagers. It is they who should take the initiative and demand that the village council implement some basic safety measures in these places. Lifebuoy rings similar to those at western seaside resorts might help too if they were secured to a wooden stand, (even though the kids might play on them), they would be there.. You'll never stop the children from going there, but there are some measures they could put in place. But sadly, the will and thought process to do something is not there. This will just happen again ........ and again ...............

The well-informed Doctor states: "Tourists come here because of natural and cultural tourism". Really? Does natural and cultural tourism include: Drop kicks to the back of the neck if you upset someone? Double pricing? Inability or refusal to learn the basics of a different language in order to engage customers? Rip off Taxi, Songtaew and Tuk Tuk prices? Over-priced consumer goods? High taxes on wines and beers? Being beaten up by multiple Thais - 6 (or more) on one if you dare to argue? Yup! That's about right, Doc.

Please expand on the 'fingering of others' please. Would you by any chance mean other members of the cabinet? Health minister maybe?

Hahaha - Step up to the entry booth - 2,000 smiling Immigration official swoop in to surround you - wow! Heart attack time!

"His penis started swelling out of control and the top was wonky" Wonky or wa*ky?

You have to be as dumb as a box of hammers, bigoted, self-important, an accomplished liar, egotistical and ill-educated. Would that be correct?

Then rolled out of the toilet, turned right and into the living area. I can envisage that clearly.......

Totally agree. My Makro/Lotus - standing in the queue, waiting to pay and there they are - fumbling with phones, paying by this stupid transfer system. slow, unnecessary, downright irritating and don't get me started on being 4/5th in the queue and they all do the same thing. I can step up, pass my goods across, pay my cash and then out of there - 2 minutes.

So pleased you could find this amusing; maybe visit the young girl in hospital and cheer her up with your hilarious quip!

Well, I'm 77 years old and have yet to have this mid-life crisis. Either: I'm not yet in mid-life. I passed it and didn't recognise it. I don't understand what 'crisis' is. I'm OK with the life I have and will continue to get older, comfortably... and I'm not a wealthy guy, I just have what I need. There you go. Sorted!

Just gotta love the new slant of this story; Detailed analysis of butt scraping. Opinions are like belly buttons - everyone's got one......... even me, so it seems. However I have none regarding butt scraping!

Grow up and get a life. Everyone who posted has sympathy for the lady in question. Human nature dictates that they will make light of it. I feel sorry for the woman - disgusting situation to find happening in your body. However, the comments are witty and I enjoyed reading and laughing with them - not at her. Until I read your post, that is. Next headline - "Foreigner outraged at humorous comments"

Thai police gear up for increase in international crime post pandemic ....... When I read this first part of the headline, For just a split second, a terrible thought went through my mind; then I read the rest of it and sighed with relief!

Doesn't say very much for Thailand's standard of road safety, or idea of research, does it?

You may have the world's first finger that gets an erection then. Lucky you. Two bangs for the price of one!

Why not 'trenchdigger' - more appropriate, one would think?

Those yellow and white stripes look yellow and white to me........

Wow! All that for a 14 year-old murderer. What about tied to the pin of a hand grenade secured to a post - on her knees or something? I'd hate to get on the wrong side of you, pal!

Liverpudlian? Wash off the bloodstains after the famous kiss? haha.

Big man, huh? Armchair heroics at it's best is a realistic reply.

It's perfectly clear - he disfigured her so badly, it would frighten the children. Also, since last September, I would imagine she has been in pain, shock and hospitalisation!

Rubbish!

This piece of filth and his accomplice should be arrested and the poor woman invited to the police station. She should then be provided with a litre bottle of sulfuric acid for each assailant. They should be chained up to allow her to show them what the pain and subsequent disfiguration means. Cowards. Nothing but petulant, vindictive cowardly little boys.

They don't walk, they swagger.... usually with beer belly a' swinging from left to right!

The Royal Thai Police has been asked to educate its officers across the country about the new legal status of cannabis and hemp, following the arrests of two elderly women growing the plant. Everything that is wrong within the RTP is declared in this one sentence, which should read: The Royal Thai Police has been asked ordered to educate its officers ............ Failure to do so will result in their immediate dismissal!
