No, not at all. It is a reflection of the area in which he was in, and of his socio demographic characteristics.

 

Most likely a heart attack.  When the left ventricle blocks you have a limited window to respond before you die. It's why it is called the widow maker. Perhaps he was just a typical patron of the bar and it was used to people passing out.

a little off topic but i heard recently that violent coughing can stave off the fatal symptoms of a heart attack

plastic bags are not a problem if you don't throw them down the drain

He wasn't employed and he wasn't their teacher, a volunteer football coach.

The coach had spent 8 years as a monk prior to his coaching of the team, i would say that says a lot for his upright character. 

Many anesthetics used in modern medicine have the ability to erase memories of procedures undergone  by patients or participants and hence reduce the possibility of experiencing further trauma. 

The rescue is a  fabulous result for everyone involved and at the same time  a  huge sorrow and   reminder of the fragility of life with the greatest price  and sacrifice paid by Samarn Kunan  who lost his life whilst selflessly  helping in the rescue of  the team. Hare Om.

One thing I just don't understand, and I read about this all the time, is that when someone's arrested, be they Thai or a Farang, they seem to always confess! Why is that? Why would anyone confess to committing a crime like this? ?

maybe there was a lot more than 2 million involved and someone knows where that might be ?

30 policemen took more than an hour to subdue a drug addict...

in Australia they would have simply shot him dead, a good result by RTP

The video ends too early.

After she gets on her feet, does she grab for her smartphone that flew away?

Was her LINE chat interrupted by this bloody barrier?

Sounds quite easy doesn’t it ? Maybe the financial institutions should be doing more homework on how to stop this rampage .

I'm with you Free 123 on this. Baffled!!

looks like the banks computers flagged this guy pretty quickly and they probably also had  a photo of him by this time , i'm guessing he set  up a skimming (card reading ) device on an ATM somewhere( or even installed a fake ATM) which records the magnetic strip data and either a camera to record PIN or  a fake numeric keypad which captured key strokes

What a piece of shit , absolutely no pun intended

• iv'e been staying in  Kao San area on and off  for years now , never had a problem , definitely stay up the Rambuttri , Prah Atit side nearer the river , the area has everything that most people would require for a short -ish stay, there are no real girlie bars as such , a couple of noisy bars half way down Kao san road but well behaved for the most , pretty good street food , lots of restaurants, shops, local supermarket, coffee shops , bakeries  and morning and evening markets , the Tuk- Tuks can sometimes be a bit of a pain and so too some taxis , ( but really no more so than anywhere else in the city)my rule of thumb is dont approach the ones parked up , with taxis insist on the meter and ask your hotel about Tuk- Tuk prices until you get the hang of it ; with the Siam group iv'e found that once you have a booking you can basically just stay and pay a day at a time , if you find its' not to your liking you can move on, but i would give it a go i think  your wife and child will thank you for it

seriously though  this is becoming the latest way to off yourself,  must create inordinate amounts of CO( CARBON MONOXIDE)

just plain reckless and not to mention stupid, his life is now over

has it ever rained during Songkran

I know, but I could not find it in The Nation, Bangkok Post and in Thaivisa it was somewhat hidden in the Isaan news section (as I learned).

I first noticed it in a foreign news source.

you sound surprised that this incident wasn't more widely reported; i have never seen a photo of an aircraft incident reported that did not at least have most of the images censored to the point that the aircraft in question was barely recognizable. It appears to be a highly sensitive area of news reporting.

It also puzzles me that the Nok Air event is not found in the English language news sources.

 

File photo: sure, as subtitled.

Quite poor that they didn't find the time to mention that it was an A380(!), the biggest passenger plane.

the Nok Air incident was widely reported on social media with some  good video from passengers of the failing engine

7986 to go
