My wife and I are not into "electronic" anything. Face to face, bank to account, money from wife to merchant and a little for the old man. Being old and electronically ignorant has it's benefits.

So sad but fortunately no vendors or shoppers were injured when the "British "Foreigner"" leapt to his death.

He knew his time on earth was limited. How is the girl he shot?

If you are HISO in LOS just leave the scene as you've been told to do anytime you do bad things, relatives and/or connections will get you out of any trouble, after all, what does a 5 year olds life mean anything when you are HISO connected. Driver will forget this incident in no time and get on with her life.

Military need to get rid of the Russians and Cubans before they can gain full control.

There should be more "shoot on site" orders when this kind of shooting or attempted murder is involved. The Thai male eigo is well known and girls/ladies should take it into consideration when establishing a relationship. Check how his "Mommie" takes care of him before you get involved.

I've never raped a woman but have pondered the logistics of such an act. Unless there is some help on the part of the victim it just seems like it would be hard to do unless there was violence involved or the threat of violence, eg  Gun or Knife. I hear of rapes all the time and just wonder.

Are you some kind of dumb? Come on, either this is a fairy tale or you need some sort of psychiatric help.  She's a wild nut and no sex? You did fill some Thai news for the bored folks.

Looks a lot like a "Mrs Ford" of Supreme Court fame.

"It" still looks like an ugly sergeant.

Not sure where Jesus Christ comes into the scene but this woman is only one of many who changed herself to feel more comfortable with her body and ego. Her body, leave the neighborhood magic folks to their own problems.

One last fling before the Orange handcuffs come on. "Hard" to blame a young fella.

I used to donate blood monthly and never had a problem. Got some kind of VD in Korea and was told I should never donate again and I never have.

I am required to use a Wheelchair most of the time when shopping or any activity that puts too much strain on my hips (40-50 feet) that precludes my using my cane. Trust me, it is no pleasure to be incapacitated and any courtesy by ambulatory shoppers is appreciated.

I could be wrong but I was led to believe that the number 191 was like the US 911 emergency service request. I'm an American and I have briefed my wife that should I die (which is bound to occur) she MUST call 191 as the Thai Police are required to take my body for forensic examination by the Police (not required should I die in a Thai hospital). I would hope there might be a some other number to be used when reporting Farang taxi drivers.

Can never understand the Thai justice system. In this case, two ladies, who harmed no one, made some money. Yet a drugged driver is responsible for the deaths of two people, gets off with, at most, 4 years? Does not equate money versus human lives.

Does this mean he won't get his retirement?

RIP young man, sympathy to family.

Maduro and his Russian, Cuban and Chinese guards will eventually fail him. But then again, I live in Thailand with my family and it is no longer of my concern.

Depends. If Thailand has declared a 32 mile economic zone, then the two were violating Thai law. If the couple were to proceed with their little floating village, everyone involved should be required to sign a disclaimer stating they will not call for Rescue should the Oceans become unfriendly.

Find a different locale, different time, and different neighbors.

Is anyone talking about a METAL pole?

Does anyone in police authority realize how silly all these "finger pointing shows" look to the public.

We bought our home in Pattaya just off Thra Paya when there was nothing around us except trees and a block away, a hotel. Since, we have a quiet Church, condos, nice neighbors, and a condo owned by lovely ladies. We also have one of our children's homes in Ayutthaya and one under construction (second son). We have a comfortable apartment attached to #1 Son's large home and visit there. One bar across Thra Paya sometimes gets really noisy but not often. I'm married to a Thai lady, have been for 47 years and if anyone gets too bothersome....well there are ways to handle that.
