Fake beer?
Quite common especially with large bottles to taste funny and even more so from mom and pop stores old stock or left in the sun . But the beer is still generally safe to drink and is not fake.

Drunk Brit Attacks Bar Worker, Hurt by American Customer
Obviously being thrown to the ground caused the broken arm. The American used minimal force I don’t see a problem with that. The facial injuries camera from being glassed by the woman in self defense, but looks like she started the initial confrontation.

Police Clamp Down on Prostitution to Protect Pattaya’s Image
How big a fine will they get, probably no more than they can earn in one night so no real deterrent . It will be a case of “ I’ll be back”

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
If they all came home it would cost the government a lot more. Many would now not be able to buy a home so would need housing. 490k extra on the NHS to take care of besides the increase in pension. Then if you include all the other benefits they would be entitled to as most would now probably be under the living wage. It would be cheaper to just pay the increased pension due.

3 year old Thai girl sexually assaulted by foreign man in Phuket
The post said he was seen at 2am partying with the Aunt and 2 others. Who were the others and were they male or female. The girl wasn't found in this state until 7am and the neighbour did not witness the event , so I think there is still a lot of investigating to be done yet. Sound to me whether he did it or one of the others did all 4 should possibly be held accountable to some degree.

Social Media Outrage as Tourists Blatantly Urinate on Pattaya Beach
Why is this such a big deal. It only seems to offend when it's a Foreigner. I see the Thai chaps who work on the beach looking after the jetskis and speed boats doing this not a word said about it. When motorbike taxi riders hop off there bike and urinate along the side of the road nothing but it's fire and brimstone if it's a tourist. Locals need to set a good example first.

Tourism Minister Aims to Levy 300-Baht Fee for Visitors
If thought the last time this was discussed it was said the money would be used to cover medical expenses if any foreigner got ill or injured and his insurance wouldn't cover it. But was not meant to replace travel / medical insurance which all visitors should have.

Pakistani Tourist Robbed by Scam Artists During First Pattaya Visit
If that's what is written on the police report good luck claiming on any travel insurance if he has any. The insurance company would laugh at him for handing his wallet to a total stranger.

Swiss man in Phuket acquitted of assaulting doctor
I agree you can't see any contact and if she was kicked / assaulted she showed no signs of it when they got up and moved. If she had been kicked I would have expected to see some sort of reaction like grabbing her back in pain or at least turning or jumping at the time or the assault but no they just got up and walked away in the video.

Varicose veins
My mum had hers done about 10 years ago recommended by a doctor at BPH but price was crazy. We took her to the Khon Kaen University Hospital to get it done, both legs. I can't remember the price but it was very reasonable a fraction of the Pattaya prices. The only thing is you have to except all the students in the room lol
