That's about as ignorant a comment as I've seen all year. You don't read or get out much, do you? The current climate in the US is quite hostile to immigrants. US beggars aren't "sent" anywhere. Aside from drug addicts and the mentally ill and others who fall through the cracks for various reasons, US beggars choose their own lifestyle because they have no other options. For those who seek help there is help available. And some, very few, beggars make more money doing that than they would at a job. That is the case in every country. As to beggars in general, in the US a very small percentage of them are foreign. They don't beg on the streets because they would be picked up by immigration and deported. That's the real world, as opposed to the one you imagine based on your racism and bigotry. Oh, and BTW, Credit cards are issued by banks who determine a person's creditworthiness over a period of several years. So explain how a bank is even going to find a credit history on an immigrant who has no bank accounts or assets in the US? Why don't you write your own book, you're pretty good at fiction.

She may have passed out for unrelated reasons and then died of the heat. She may have fallen asleep, but that's unlikely since the pain of the burns would likely have woken her. It may have been heat exhaustion, which would not have been anyone's fault. She may have lost track of the time. Nobody here is a doctor or pathologist, so none of the opinions about this have any merit, other than speculation. Having said that, cameras might be a good idea.

I wouldn't even do the 800,000 baht. That is the crazy way to do it. I just show income of $65,000 per month. That is money I can spend and live on, rather than park a huge amount of money uselessly in a bank.

Whippets used for whipped cream require a permit to legally be sold. It is illegal for them to be sold and used as a recreational drug, however commonly they may be actually used. If someone buys legal food grade nitrous whippets and serves them for intoxicating purposes in a bar they are breaking the law. Here's what you didn't bother to read: "Nitrous oxide is a prohibited substance under the Narcotics Act, and those engaged in the production and distribution of such substances without proper authorization face imprisonment for up to five years and fines not exceeding 10,000 Baht.". It's primary use in other countries is as a dental anesthetic/sedative. It's not used for that anywhere in Thailand. So before you next embarrass yourself with baseless comments you might want to take a minute to look things up.

It's relatively harmless in the form used in bars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide_(medication)

Yes, it is milder than alcohol, as long as you don't breathe it in pure enough form to asphyxiate yourself. Besides the cartridges made for aerosol whipping cream, It's primarily used as a mild dental anesthetic with sedative properties, although not in Thailand. It's also used in hot rods as a power boosting agent, as well as a rocket fuel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide

They probably are, since this operation is a joke and they will get off with small fines.

It seems you may have flunked science. Cause of death means the specific medical cause of the death such as blunt trauma to the head or body, fractured skull, collapsed lungs, fractures, multiple contusions, internal bleeding, heart failure, external bleeding, etc. See if you can remember that next time you feel like denigrating and disrespecting the dead. Oh and like your mama said it's never too late to go back to school and take a science and physiology class. Unfortunately they don't teach respect, either you learned it by age 21 or you didn't.

I don't know where you're from, but in civilized countries disorderly conduct does not carry the death penalty. I suppose you're one of those perfect people who has never behaved badly while drunk, or not drunk.

So what. The US names nationalities when it's appropriate. It depends on which media, on what the police report, and there are hundreds of both mainstream media and on youtube. Did you happen to notice that there are a great many differences between Thai and western cultures outside of this event, or has that escaped you? I happen understand agree with the importance of distinguishing between crimes that Thai people commit and the ones committed by farang. On the other hand they blur out faces and often don't name full names. Readers can judge the stories on their merits. It's their country and their business how they conduct themselves.

Unfortunately, for every bust another one or two will arise. Whack a mole.

Not at all unusual for such things to be hidden in innocuous places. Same thing with phone scammers in India operating out of small office buildings. But you're the cybercrime expert, what do we know?

What a terrible injustice, misdirected penny pinching bureaucrats with no compassion. It's a crime against humanity.

While your comment may have merit outside of this topic, your lack of compassion for the woman in this story speaks loudly as to YOUR character.

About $8.00 US. They're welcome to it, if I had to pay, but I'm a resident not a tourist, retirement visa.

It's a shame they can't simply be treated as refugees from an oppressive dictatorship. I'm sure they'd be willing to pay for that privilege, rather than pay crooked Thai people.

That's 68 Russians out of 90,000. Nice start, only 89,932 to go.

From what I've read, US social security is not taxable. So I imagine I will file a tax return and provide Social Security documentation that my income matches the amount transferred here every month. That should require minimal math skills on the part of their tax dept.

And no one of your nationality ever behaves badly when drunk, and there'd no crime at all there?

You are correct sir.

I hear you. But this may have little or nothing with either prime minister themselves. These could be independent agencies. But I really don't know for sure, just a guess. But overall, this is another case of everything changes, and often not for the better. That's the way of the world, social entropy, moving toward chaos

Another case of using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. Hopefully sense will prevail

Good advice. I make a point of not watching such things. I don't need those images in my head. bad for your mental health. Puppies and kittens for me.
