Well, welcome to the Land of Smiles, except Phuket?

Right! Accidents don't just happen, they are caused, usually by a chain of events! If this 'bolt' had not failed, no accident, why did it fail???? I don't know, but it did!

Correct, so there must be a defect in the design, or installation or maintenance not carried out as per SOP?

This disaster at Thailand's second major airport has hit the international news, in the UK and USA thank goodness.and hopefully other countries. How this happened is probably down to faulty maintenance, knowing Thailand, but could of course be mechanical failure, we will have to wait and see? So sorry for the poor woman who's leg had to amputated, lets hope she is OK and she gets amply compensated for this tragedy!

Question, don't the stores have a 'dress code' I am talking about like, no shoes, no shirt, no service? Don't the security guards at these places say anything, or maybe they just think another crazy falang? I have never seen a Thai man with no shirt in a store, that must mean something?

Correct, so the headline "Phuket authorities clamp down on illegal taxi practices, impose hefty fines" seems somewhat inaccurate?

You are absolutely correct, I have lived in LA and Chicago and its the choice of different kinds of food that make it so good!

You make a fair point, its certainly a very close call?????

Someone must be trying to sell a new book? Elvis died 46 years ago, has someone just filed a report with the police?????

You have obviously been a very luck individual indeed. However there are many thousands that have not, as we see on ANF almost on a daily basis?

Quite, if one is attempting diplomacy, there is a time and place for everything?

Well presumably they, the Vietnamese beggars have little money, so they shake down the farangs, who generally do have money?

Correct! God save the Queen!????
