Extremely attractive young woman, nervous about entering a Thai police station at 1am, being harrassed by 'x' number of police and you suggest she stands her ground at 1am in the morning - brilliant! Of course, 'had it been you', Guv - you would have had the police grovelling at your feet and 'Graaping' forgiveness, eh? She was a tourist for crying out loud - probably unaware of the rights and wrongs of Visas, etc - why imply the blame is on her for not defying them and standing her ground?

"Is that bad news"? Fatuous and unnecessary remark - pun intended as well. Fatuous as the photo looks more American that British. You know, that gluttonous country full of grossly fat people. Unnecessary, because the USA went through their own crisis of a Depression in the 1930s - so I'm sure you would have sneered at them as you have seen fit to do with the UK. We have a cr*p government at present - but certainly not as cr*p as the one you've got! A lot of decent, honest people in UK don't deserve your petty comments.

Thai FDA warns against use of liquid nitrogen in food and drinks" Rate this topic I don't suppose the Thai FDA considers it necessary to advise the public on just how they should be wary of food cooked with the use of liquid nitrogen.

Yes it does, doesn't it? Including you who is assuming that questioning the safety of road conditions and vehicles will result in that actually happening - which you already know, will not happen. All the posts prior to yours are absolutely accurate in their 'possible' assumptions, because they all understand and have experienced - sometimes first hand, what it is like on Thailand's roads. I too have experienced that in my 17 years of driving here on Thailand's roads from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, Isaan or to Hua Hin at least every year, if not more often on particular occasions, distances of almost a 6-8 hundred Kms each way, and by any one of at least 4 different routes. It's all the same! Every trip is a nightmare of near-misses, crazy driving, reckless speeding, avoiding incompetent and careless, drunk, or seemingly sleepy drivers wherever you drive and more. Everything said here resonates quite clearly of my own experiences - they are all possibilities.

And lacking in charisma and charm from the look of her - unlike the older sister, Yingluck

Looks like it - but the police already know none of them will pay the fine/ turn up at the police station/ haven't got a licence/haven't got insurance - or, very simply don't give a fishes <deleted> what the police want them to do - let alone any of them understanding what 'probation' means. They don't care!

Could you please explain what 'innit' means, thank you.

Excellent post - good idea. Really? Try writing that as if the 20 year-old girl were your daughter. Pathetic attitude!

So, these are the rules - for everyone. 1. For minor offences, we will deduct one point. For serious offences, we will deduct four points, 2. Speeding, failing to stop for pedestrians at a zebra crossing, talking on the phone while behind the wheel, or driving a vehicle with no license plate will cost the driver one point. 3. Two points will be deducted if they are caught jumping a red light, driving against the prescribed traffic direction, or driving while their license is confiscated or suspended. 4. The three-point deduction is reserved for illegal road racing, while the highest penalty of a four-point deduction will occur in serious offences like drunk driving. However, the following exceptions will apply: 1. Do you know who I am? 2. The RTP reserve the right to ignore: Rule 2, 3 & 4 if they can't be bothered, don't understand the rule of law or are busy on their phones. 3. The RTP has no desire to take further action on those drivers without licenses as they don't know who they are. 4. If the illegal racing takes place at night, the RTP may be otherwise engaged. Therefore, no action can be taken 5. All foreigners are exempted from these exemptions.

Stupid response and totally unnecessary. Some of us don't need to pretend we're kids again nor that we're 'cool'. Our choice.

I'm sorry, would please enlighten me. I am a 'Brit', (as you casually and disparagingly refer to us), and I have been living in Thailand for 18 years now. If it's nearly always us 'Brit', would you please inform me, just how many of us have been capering around Thailand's beaches - or elsewhere in this country, stark bo**ock naked? I don't seem to recall the numbers passing 'two' - if that. Please tell us exactly how many have there been? Thank you.

Well Ms Pareena - pity you didn't think of that when you were deliberately encroaching on the same land in Thailand you want to preserve for your children and grandchildren - similar to what your ancestors did. Where was your concern then?

Or, closer to home - what happened to Thaksin when he left the country for a meeting/conference!
