No doubt as elsewhere the Thai eye is blind to such activity because of the bung being given, unless of course it's just gross incompetence in which case both scenarios fit the situation perfectly.

They come to Pattaya because it's cheap and most of them have little money.

The money most likely never existed and he was trying to scam a foreigner, hardly unusual here.

How can veterans vote for a coward who bribed a doctor to get out of being called up. The guy is a liar and needs to be sectioned. He has zero respect for the military as his vile comments about POWs shows, especially McCain.

There is no safety in Thailand, it's all lip service, like boards at construction sites saying safety first and the first thing you see is a man dangling on a rope with no harness or helmet. With the now exposed corruption of bribes paid for over weight trucks and trailers to continue their journeys and this latest tradegy with inspectors taking bribes the rotten core of officials is sickening.

The hub of government departmental corruption rears it's ugly head yet again, is anyone really surprised.

More mumbo jumbo that won't result in any tangible benefits, these things are just photo ops.

The current government is so far out of its depth with regard to virtually everything at the moment. There will only be one outcome of conversations with the bloated bureaucracy in Brussels and that will be a overwhelming win for them and yet another own goal for UK business. The damage has been done and there is no way it will be repaired anytime soon. A complete waste of time when there are more pressing domestic issues that need fixing.

Unfortunately the army are a law unto themselves and have zero accountability to anyone, as we see frequently with illegally taking over the country from legally elected governments.

Typically the cost of a private room in a government hospital here in Isaan is 600 baht a night. And usually includes a TV, fridge and ensuite toilet and shower.

They should be charged with manslaughter as the absolute minimum and put in the Hilton for 20 years.

A carbon copy of previous statements that have so far failed to deliver any tangible results. No 3 airport rail link, hasn't even started construction despite being given the go-ahead years ago. All veneer, no substance.

Mail from the UK used to arrive within 2 weeks when I first moved here 16 years ago. Now it's a month if you are lucky, Thai Post are crap.

The vile orange blob who campaigned on statements like 'I am so rich you wouldn't believe it' is now reduced to selling watches to fund his living expenses, such is the depths of the abyss they have sunk to. I can't wait to see the next watch seller turning up at a beer bar with a fake one. It will be just like him, a total fake, hilarious

Sadly nothing will be done because it just goes on and on and on and the government, police do absolutely <deleted> all, as with the 50 plus a day deaths on the roads as a whole, that figure doesn't include the sad loss of life after the accident in hospital.

Absolutely hilarious, the place is a <deleted> show at the best of times so it's all in keeping with the majority of Muppets in it.

We all know he's a coward as he refused to serve when called up. Most bullys are cowards they use it to cover up their own inadequatcys.

She is absolutely right. The word maintenance does not exist in Thailand because they would rather squeeze the last satang from a vehicle before having to spend anything on it.

As the absolute vast majority of the sex industry is to supply the demand from Thai's it seems to be a no brainer. There are no sex tourists where I live but there are many establishments catering for the local population. Those pretending that it doesn't exist are living in denial and in a different world from reality.

There are ways around it but that involves fraud, also the loopholes are being closed down in a recently announced purge on benefits fraud which includes pensions.

The fat short bald Muppet who runs his country is a mental case so he was no doubt copying him...

It obvious it has before the representative colour was red, now it's a vile orange...

It already has and is on a daily basis

I express my own dismay at the very thought a Australian could possibly behave in such a shameful manner...

They can't control their actions because they are drunk, drunken behaviour has no relevance to sober behaviour.
