Some of the comments on this thread are unbelievable. You guys can't muster any more empathy for an elderly impoverished farmer who lost his life producing the food you eat? Sad.

 

 

 

 

He lost his life setting fire to a field.

You are bound to get drunk under the table, in most cases.

Under the table is fine... just don't get in the forever-box.

All that cash at home, gotta be dodgy money that's not traced.

Such vision.

There is little question this would be a useful event to attend, but attendees should understand it is sponsored by a Thai firm of accountants/legal/tax advisors who also propose and sell financial investments. Exactly what level of person will attend form the TRD is unclear, as is whether that person will be able to provide greater clarity than has already been provided.

Will they speak English?

The incident occurred at a water tunnel and foam party held at the Suphan Buri Banana Conservation Center. Following the event, parents rushed their children to the Chao Phraya Yommarat Hospital and various private hospitals after the children developed symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Health officials suspect a rotavirus infection and have collected water samples from the end of the water tunnel and the hoses used to mix the foam for testing

A nappy ending?

Japan experienced a surge in foreign visitors in March, surpassing the three million mark for the first time in a single month. Thai tourists to Japan ranked sixth, contributing to the notable increase in visitors.

I would imagine Japan is a great place to visit, the cities are enchanting with a real mix of tradition and modern features, plus the people are very respectful and polite, the streets are also noticeably cleaner with very little pollution.

The daughter, aged six years old, disclosed that Aung Su Nyat had mentioned feeling hot and jumped into the water tank. He later emerged and told her he felt unwell.

 

The daughter then left the rooftop, leaving Aung Su Nyat alone. His family suspected that he might have returned to the water tank and drowned, possibly due to intoxication or cramps.

Disgusting...
