The forum is all about opinions. You're welcome to think that my opinion that 'giving the family baseball bats makes no sense' is ridiculous. I have little time for such over-the-top responses to tragic crimes, but appreciate that some still hanker after a medieval system of justice!

Assuming it's "pending", you can expect to wait for up to 10 days.

Because it's a ridiculous comment (in my opinion).

Online or by mail?

No and not really relevant to this case. In some cases, under-18 nudity in movies may be permitted under certain circumstances, such as when it is deemed necessary for the artistic or educational value of the film, and appropriate measures are taken to protect the child's welfare and ensure their informed consent. These measures typically involve the presence of a guardian or parent on set, strict supervision, and adherence to specific protocols.

No! Under the Protection of Children Act 1978, it is an offence to 'make, distribute, possess or show any indecent images of anyone aged under 18' - even if it was created with the young person's consent. It is also a criminal offence to ask a child under 18 to send a sexual image of themselves - and causing or inciting sexual exploitation of a child carries a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison. Making or possessing indecent images carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

I don't think it's a rumour. It's well known that Crazy House has police ownership connections. A fun gogo to visit.

So, giving the family baseball makes no sense.

The murderer is family!

Most bargirls are prostitutes but not all prostitutes are bargirls.

Is the guy in question super rich?

Paedophilia is a crime whether it involves boys or girls. Not sure why you find "old western guys" with young boys more creepy than if they're with young girls! As long as the boy or girl is 18+ what difference does it make?

Why?

I must be very boring. No girlfriend, just a wife who's 30 years younger than me and an 8-year-old child.

My local pharmacy has plenty of Rosuvastatin Sandoz in stock. I'd keep looking.

Well said. I think many people here have very limited contact with normal Thai people!

If a teacher is employed by a language school for online teaching (from the teacher's home), would the Extension of Stay and work permit be issued by the Immigration Office where the school is based, or by the Office in the province where the teacher lives?

Well said. Guys who try to rip off working girls isn't acceptable, no matter what the service is.

We're spending a few days on Koh Larn and need to leave our car near Bali Hai pier. Where is the best, most secure parking? Thanks.

"Thailand’s sex industry has employed thousands of people for decades, even though soliciting, procuring or operating brothels are all prohibited under the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act of 1996." So does the new bill propose legalising soliciting, procuring and operating brothels?

How would a returning expat, in his mid-60s, with a 10-year-old child (UK citizen but only ever lived in Thailand) be treated, assuming he has minimal savings (£50,000) and a meagre pension?

I don't think there's any doubt that Thailand (like most of the developed world) is rapidly moving towards a cashless society. Even the street food stalls outside my son's school take payment by QR Code/phone. People will just have to get used to it - like I did!

I've used http://www.pulse-tv.net for many years. I have a box, but I know others who watch via the website. Not the cheapest, but reliable.

Maybe I was a little overblown. "Callous" and all things stated above by @RuamRudy

Plenty of people have changed the reason for their Extension of Stay from being based on Work to being based on Retirement at their Immigration Office in Thailand (as long as they meet the requirements).
