Despite being denied, Mr. Stookey insisted on the exchange, displaying dissatisfaction, prompting staff to alert the police.

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Not just greenhorns.  They're equal opportunity abusers.  I can't count the number of times I've been refused or the driver shoots a price and drives off when I ask for the meter.

 

 

They presume all tourists are greenhorns, until the more learned ones tell them to drive on.

A mischievous wild elephant known for his frequent jaunts through local villages has taken his snack-hunting antics to a new level, by walking straight into a neighbourhood grocery shop in broad daylight.

The penalty for getting caught would be worse at night... smart elephant

Less than a month before the tariff pause ends,

so lets strengthen economic ties. 

I wonder if they convinced them  that they will stop transnational corruption, offering China a stepping stone into USA, to avoid tariffs

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is intensifying efforts to make Thailand a safer and more reliable destination for international visitors, with a range of new safety and service measures now being rolled out nationwide.

They've got there work cut out... daily news from Pattaya & Phuket is enough to scare people away for the safety and tranquility of other destinations.

That bus wasn't hanging around...

National Police Chief, Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanpet, stated that the cause was water accumulation due to a clogged condenser in the air conditioning system. He noted that the unit had not been serviced for approximately three years, which led to poor ventilation and water leakage onto the ceiling panels.

Lesson learnt.... nah

The café explained that the customers had ordered two cups of coffee, totalling THB 221.50, but mistakenly transferred THB 22,150. Staff believe the error occurred during a mobile banking transaction, possibly due to a misplaced decimal point.

Honesty is the best policy....

Moreover, investigations revealed ties between Ma and Ekkanat, a former navy officer implicated in the murder of Lim Kimya, a former Cambodian opposition member of parliament in January. Ma's presence at a hotel booked by Ekkanat in Chiang Rai around this time has further mired him in cross-border criminal undertakings.

He was a busy man... with connections.

Good luck to the intern... harassment at work is not warranted.
