He wasn't suffering from mental health issues!  Why are so many posters claiming that he was?...

"77kaoded said the man was suffering from a skin disease that has caused him to be stigmatized by society. 

They speculated that his inability to get work due to the diease had led to the suicide attempt". 

The disease and subsequent "stigmatized by society" would've almost certainly affected his mental health. As he was seen on the same bridge before he should've been looked after, and not sent home.

Earlier yesterday morning the same man was seen on the bridge and was talked round by rescue services who feared he was going to jump. He went home after that. 

Wow, the mental health system here is one to be envious of. Not.

The only people here who actually do what they say they are going to do are the prostitutes. 

I need to start going to the same bars as you. Lol.

7 services and under 20,000 kilometres? The service people must love you.

Every six months. I like to keep my car up to scratch; it may have only done 20,000km but it also spends a fair amount of time in traffic, some of the worst conditions for an engine and gearbox.

Thats the idea of expanding the airport.......

But expansion would be based on demand, surely. From what I've been reading on TV, the tourist numbers are down. You don't produce more cars, for example, when demand is low. 

I waited 11 weeks, then I resubmitted the required documents and the user name and password arrived five days later.

Honda do mine each time I take it in for a service (every six months). I'd rather trust them than a jet wash crew. That said, I had my old car done by the boys at Shell and it was fine (160 baht for the engine IIRC). Never had a problem. It looks very nice afterwards as well. Go for it.

He’ll probably wish he was dead when he finds out what he’s faced with.

Thank goodness I live in a small village where I can safely walk down the middle of the road. 

Because everyone is riding on the pavements/sidewalks.

Brake failure is the usual one.

road-crossing signals will be established along with flyovers with lifts for the elderly and the disabled particularly in crowded areas.

Cool - a new way for motorcyclists to get across the road.

This story, including the shameful Thai court verdict, will run in almost every American newspaper and news channel, ten of millions of people will hear about this.

I doubt it as he was British. 

Another day in paradise.

Exit from the passenger side, hop over the barrier, if there is one, then move away from the vehicle and watch as some halfwit undertaking in the hard shoulder drives into the back of your car.

Yes, happened to me last year. The office staff must go to cancel it themselves. So, what I did, I flew out without a re entry permit. No valid B visa, wp not good.  Play their game, nothing to lose.

Yes, but your old WP never gets 'cancelled'. If you apply for work again you'll have to cancel the old one before a new one is issued. You can then cancel by yourself. It just happened to someone applying where I work; he had to go back to the province where he was working seven years ago and cancel the old WP.
