No prostitution is allowed in Thailand! It is not part of the rich Thai culture.

The artefacts should be repatriated to Cambodia, if anywhere. It was their forefathers who built the mighty Khmer temples and set the foundations for what become Siam. Thailand takes the credit for these ancient monuments, and mantises them for tourist dollars, but they had zero input.

Lower import taxes on western cars and end the dodgy deals that favor Japanese vehicles.

Does anybody have experience of the HSBC expat account? I'm thinking of opening one as they are more expat friendly. The minimum requirement is to keep a balance of 50,000GBP. They also have an InvestDirect account for expats, which is slightly more expensive than other brokers, but HSBC allows non-UK residents to trade in UK markets with such accounts.

Just don't tell them that they're Khmer artefacts! Or that the religion came from India.

This could be done with a little bit of common sense from the check in desk, simply by visually assessing passengers. Oh, wait... Thais don't have common sense or the ability to think for themselves.

A mafia government. Chada Thaiset is one of the worst of the lot. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/chada-thaised-ferocious-opponent-of-pitas-pm-bid-has-a-dark-and-violence-racked-history/

Does anybody know the cost of driving a Khmer registered car from Cambodia into Thailand via the Chong Chom border crossing next to Surin province? The fee seems to be on the Thai side. Or vice versa, the cost of driving a Thai registered car into Cambodia.

Neither does her chin.

Look this up in the dictionary and you might find the word nepotism.

Thai politicians don't seem to know what soft power means. It's the idea that a country's legal systems, democracy and social culture are so safe, fair, honest and transparent that they give them a kind of unwritten power and influence in international politics. In Thailand, the Prime Minister came to power through a sham election and dodgy back room deals. The country is notorious for its corruption. They should fix those things first.

Most of the earlier items are from the Khmer empire, so there's a reasonable case that they should be sent to Cambodia.

Perhaps you need to look more deeply into laws before you Google and check the first result.

An apologist for Thai savagery.

Sukhumvit Road looks so much better with all the fold-up tables and hand painted food carts selling cannabis, not to mention the gaudy neon-lit shops with cringe-worthy names controlled by money-laundering drug-pushing boiler-room scamming, gogo bar barrow boys from Britain.

Bet you're still one of the fruitcakes wearing masks.

Another made-up award for places of no interest.

Condense it all to two words of point 6: Use Grab during rush hour or in locations where it may be difficult to hail a regular taxi, to reduce conflicts with taxi drivers.

What's the point of these kind of smart arse replies? The forum is for people to ask questions.

According to the friend who posted a YouTube video, he died of a heart attack.

A Prime Minister sponsored by Sansiri. Wonder how much they paid to get their man in the hot seat.

There are some well-known Western / European bar owners in Pattaya and Bangkok who need investigating. Far worse are the Thais and Japanese, though.

In previous years I've always obtained a multiple re-entry permit at Chaeng Wattana. This year I'm going to try at DMK airport as it says on the immigration website they can be 'filed at Passport Control (International Departures) in the Airport on the date of departure from the Kingdom.' (https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/re-entry-permit/) Is the one-year multiple re-entry definitely possible to get from DMK? I've done single re-entry permits before at the airports and they take 20 or 30 minutes. Any experience of the process at the airports?

The CCTV shows the man holding her by the legs while she dangles from the window. He could have been doing it to scare her then dropped her accidentally, or he might have been trying to save her and lost his grip. One thing's for sure, we can have faith in the Thai police to honor the dead woman's life by investigating the case thoroughly and definitely not being 'persuaded' to forget about it and move onto the next one.

As many people have said, that’s a python not a king cobra.
