Is financial reward for information leading to capture a thing  here?

I think there's financial reward for letting him off the hook.......

Some of the expats in Thailand love to imitate the locals and love their drink. A lot of those on the forum. Just look at the howls of displeasure when alcohol is banned for a day.

 

If guilty send him to jail and then ban him from entering Thailand. 2 people died and if he was drunk its an unforgiveable act.

Arick must be the dumbest retard on here to haha your comments. I fully endorse what you said roblokk.

The regime has once again decided to protect the bigger guy, over the smaller guy. This will not go over well, internationally. Everyone will see right through this badly engineered PR stunt. When faced with jail, and who knows what else, many of us would prefer to "apologize". 

The guy was a complete jerk, petty and arrogant for his comments, it's tough enough for any business to succeed at any time without the extra burden that the pandemic has placed on the hospitality industry, he got off very lightly in my opinion

Must be great to be one of those perfect human beings who never makes mistakes or does anything stupid. Shame on you. What's worse - stupidity, or your calloused lack of basic compassion and humanity? In case you didn't read this thoroughly, his injuries suggest he will be crippled for life if he even survives. And he deserves that because he was careless with his own safety? You know nothing about this guy's life. How do you know what kind of person he is - family, friends, etc.;  he likely has a much bigger heart than the likes of you. According to the original story this was a good man who did a lot of good for those around him. I for one have sympathy for the poor guy, and hope he recovers for his sake and for those who care about him. What he learns or doesn't learn is up to him if he is ever able to use his mind again enough to think about it. Sucks to be you, hopefully you won't have to fracture your skull before you learn what you need to learn to become a better human being. 

He's still stupid and irresponsible to fly around on a motorbike without a helmet, especially in Thailand. He looks like another invincible hardman farang and that's why there's so many negative comments, we've seen so many of them come and go over the years, I won't be donating.

Just another dodgy geezer.

Looks like that

Hi, further to what's already been said your friend needs to show 800,000 baht in his account for retirement where it is 400,000 for marriage, or an ability to meet the income requirements.

There's money for attack helicopters but none for the people, are the helicopters to keep the people in their place by intimidation, I wonder????????????

Another expat living the dream with no money and using an education visa to stay. No sympathy and definitely no money from me.

I think this topic may have been covered before but I've searched high and low on the forums but to no avail.

My taste in beer isn't suited to the local beers and I want to try.my hand at homebrewing, so any help with suppliers of brewing equipment and beer kits would be much appreciated. Before it's mentioned, I am aware that it's supposed to be unlawful to produce beer and spirits without a licence but I also understand that it's ok if not for resale. TIA.

Wow, that is over the top if you actually had the money in the bank, seasoned, or 12 months income. But tell  us what 'service' you actually required. Did you have a Non-Imm-O already or an existing extension, or did he convert from a Visa Exempt or Tourist Visa entry? Did the service include a re-entry permit, single or multiple? These have costs.... 

Just wondering why yours cost so much, as I think I know who you mean and thought his price was somewhat less. 

It was for the 15 months with multiple re-entry. Yes it appears he has different prices for different people, depending on their perceived financial status. I do it myself now so every cloud has a silver lining.

One rip off agent charged me 32,000 thb for this service and I had the funds. he incidentally is probably the best known agent in Pattaya excluding Paul King. What it did do was make me deal with immigration myself which is not as convenient but a darned sight cheaper.

I suspect that the last thing any of these heroic guys would want is a load of hype and attention bought upon their acts of bravery.

A cold beer would be more valued by them and a simple  " Thank you " would suffice 

I think from reports that I read they made it clear they wouldn't be doing media interviews, true heroes.

A 5l box of Montclair wine just went up from about 960 to 1300 Baht, I'm stopping drinking now for good.

That is my experience too, a massive increase by any standards.

Bought some yesterday and my Leo case has gone up a bit.

Cases of wine, those box things you put in the fridge, have gone up somewhat, used to get them for under 800 baht now it is just under 1000. They are a good percentage fruit juice anyhow! Mrs won't be happy but she is back on something cheaper!

I'd be interested to know where you can buy white wine in a box for under1000, info' please.

How would i know, didn't you ask before you signed the contract.

Sorry Sherlocks, I hadn't read the full report before posting

Lot's of Sherlock's talking about the Thai being on the wrong side of the road, where in the report does it state that. It looks like he could have been riding on the correct side and she turned across him to go into the service station. DUI, no helmet and no lights is another issue. RIP sir.

Wounded, did someone push him?

If of his own making surely its injured?

But as Thailand is the hub of screwed up English - no problems I guess.

Irish not English and he jumped, best to read properly before commenting.

Unfortunately my experience earlier this year left me at a loss as to how I could ever get a Shengen visa for my Thai fiancé to accompany me on a visit to Spain. We already had a visa granted by the British Embassy for her to visit the UK with me and thought it would be a mere formality to get the Shengen to enter Spain but no, after 2 applications and 2 refusals we feel that there's no point in wasting our time again. Our applications were supported by all the same documents as required for the UK plus statements of my bank account in Spain, together with proof that I owned my house in there. Flights were booked, itinerary and a car hire voucher was provided, all paid for in advance, we were refused apparently  because we hadn't provided enough documentation to justify our visit although I had written a lengthy letter to explain our reasons for the visit and the guarantee that she would be supported by me during our stay, the only thing I omitted was our shoe sizes, we were left shocked, confused and well out of pocket by it all.

Misremembered again, like when she claimed she was dodging bullets and wasn't. Misremembered is a word I had never heard until she used it.

OMG, the last thing the world needs is another Bush as president. I wonder which country they're eyeing up now to go in to plunder the wealth and resources.
