It's more of a problem leaving from certain countries... New Zealand for one.. they won't let you board the aircraft... - the need to show an air ticket out of Thailand...

the "return (flight) ticket" is a joke when many people will exit Thailand by a land border.. even a pre-booked bus ticket to say Cambodia does not count..

Even if it was not meningitis .. there were enough warning signs to suspect it.. and rapid deterioration can set in. The teacher was negligent and stupid not to get the child to a hospital.. but I suspect lack of basic training is to blame.. meningitis is something everyone should be aware of especially if you are responsible for a group of children

This news is about 20 years old (there were documentaries about it).. sure, maybe the time is arriving when things will change.. but then maybe not... time of another study, and another, and another...

I wonder what makes a tourist more dangerous and bad for Thailand if they are given 90 days instead of 30 ??? would TAT like to explain.. nah, didn't think so - that would require someone to think...

Understanding the importance of the 90 day reporting, I must assume he was also reporting in every 90 days.. ???

And where are the Cambodian authorities in all this ?.. siting on their hands as they accept bribes. Why is this not mentioned in the news item.. upset some powerful people maybe ???

I guess sea cocks are out of the question... you would think those in Thailand would all know how to handle a cock...

Sure .. then add in dual pricing for all Thai tourists.. exempt any EU citizen scamming Thai tourists.. register where they are staying... EU Police not to do anything about Thai tourists complaints.. build special depraved detention centres for Thai overstayers .. bring it on..

If I remember correctly, this was only because of Hun Sens feelings being hurt by Facebook posts.. nothing to do with "protecting" Khmer from online frauds through Facebook...

Only the dumbest of governments would threaten to close down Facebook, and then backtrack - which they will... oh hang on, this is Thailand.. it all makes sense now...

I am in shock... the Thai government has managed to work out that being accommodating to overseas tourists is good for business.....

If you want to get to the bottom of these issues, the question to ask is "what was the home environment of the boy who was doing the bullying like".. but we as a society do not have the slightest interest in addressing the real causes of social tension which exhibits itself in so many different ways. It is at the end of the day a total failure of leadership be in the school leadership, political leadership or even Police leadership - and a lot more. We live in a society where the WRONG people are in charge of the boat and don't have a clue what they are doing or where they are going. People "like" to think that good overcomes evil - it most certainly does not and the world we are in and the future clearly demonstrates that most often evil reigns supreme..

I can see you consider education a "tirade" when it goes against your ignorant confirmation bias.. try explaining which bit I got wrong.. but you won't of course, because you are clueless on such matters and we can blame your childhood for that... you are a sick joke

lets be clear, the majority of Russians DO support Putin....

"with a couple of thousand dollars in savings, and a one-way ticket to Thailand".. and what visa allows a "one way" ticket ? with a couple of thousands in savings ?

You don’t have a clue what you are talking about and know nothing about childhood development and further you would not want to learn as it would be contrary to your confirmation bias. And if we were to look into your childhood we would find the reasons for this. You are not even capable of discussing such issues, you would just wet yourself and run for the exit. The critical years are from 0 to 3… I could explain why but you are not capable of absorbing this – see confirmation bias. “They are born with the desire to hurt others.” wrong – idiot. Babies are born with a need to have their needs met – this is why they will shout and scream – you are confused but I guess that is an easy occurrence in your case. In a functional childhood there comes a time when the young child realizes there are other people they must become aware of and learn to become socialized but if the years 0 to 3 have been full of abuse this will be close to impossible. I could say a lot more, but it would be completely wasted on an idiot like you – but would gladly give you some lessons – except you don’t want them do you ? And we will find the answer to your perversions in your childhood.

You need a dose of your own medicine and then the world would be a better place. Your level of ignorance and stupidity are astounding and guess what, if we were to look at your childhood we would soon find the reason for your dysfunction. And along with this obvious level of dysfunction is the total inability to even discuss such issues - and how sick in the head is that ? If I was to say there was no such thing as free choice you would blow a gasket. If you knew anything about childhood development - which you clearly do not, you would know that criminals are created not born. But you are not even capable of discussing this. I would say "get an education" but in your case I can see that would be impossible as you only play to your confirmation bias - sorry for the long word.

and he would have made peace with Hitler has Trump been around then.. I guess that would be the sort of World that would sit comfortably with your beliefs...

Oh no, not the "high value big spending quality tourists" roving in gangs ?

pretty obvious why she wanted "a friend"... it won't be the first time he has hit her...

just send him back to Russia.. Putin will find him a job in a foreign country ....

sadly. it is the Khmer way.. family violence is an epidemic in Cambodia.. I get this information from my partner there who deals with it every day being a Lt-Colonel in the Cambodian Police.. even children get attacked with a hatchet.... it is her biggest crime issue...

Where are the riots and burning of cars and property.. oh silly me, I was thinking about France....

Guess they didn't want to pay 1,000 baht for an RCD....
