of course there won't be a plan; this is another short-sighted, slapped together, 2-bit thought process by the circus leaders

Or maybe suicide resulting from despair and depression.
Given past investigations of balcony jumpers, and wisdom gleaned from posters here on Thaivisa. I thought it common knowledge that these dives were rarely or never, a case of foul play.
So I am surprised, shocked and stunned that this might be the case now ????
I lived in an apartment 3 years ago In Hua Hin, it was only a 4 story building with one apartment on each floor. I stayed in the 3rd floor apartment and below me was a Thai couple. The lady was pregnant and she used to argue with her fella all of the time. One night in specific it was very loud and bad, and suddenly I heard a crash and general chaos. Turns out, she had jumped from her 2nd story apartment and landed on the plastic awning that overhung the back entrance to the building. In fact the story was reported on here.
Thai women are some of the most irrational and jealous females I have ever met, I wouldn't say this is a closed case regarding the subject of this thread.-

is that the Terminal apartments on Soi 88?
It looks like it, I used to workout in their dingy gym from time to time; before I found a better option

People need to know which *Insurance firm this is who considers diving into a pool a reckless act... yes, ok, she misjudged the depth, but thats exactly what insurance is for - cover for mistakes.
It seems extremely strange that an insurance company could escape such a claim.
Edit: it seems its this company https://www.insureandgo.com
and lots of complaints of refusal to pay....https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=1381601
no wonder many people don't take out insurance, half of them are full of shyt

As much as that would be fitting, it isn't going to happen. If several bomb blasts around Bangkok and Hua Hin haven't made much of a dent, this isn't going to

Apart form the craziness of the whole thing this statement "Immigration Bureau chief Pol Lt Gen Surachate Hakpal instructed investigators at the Lumpini station to handle the case in strict accordance with the law and not try to assist their colleague." just shows Thai society IMHO. I mean what type of person would try to help a colleague that just shot somebody in the head and killed them!!!
If you look at Western nations, like the US for example, the police are like a mafia in some respects. The work together and have a brotherhood mentality, where they will cover the tracks for each other where possible.

wow at the worst time too. So the guy was running away, after engaging in an argument, and he was then shot in the dome? Even if he was a suspect in a robbery or a rape, police still shouldn't shoot him while he's running away from the scene, but from an argument? The cop must have lost serious face

See that's why i won't eat fruit and veg from Thailand..i buy imported ones or from the Royal Project.
What will the government do about it?? Nothing as usual??? Then wait untill the rest of the world takes action against Thai produce...and don't cry if that happens.
I try to only eat frozen imports and I mentioned it on here 2 weeks ago, and most people slammed me for it lol

I've spoken to a few people recently about this situation, and one of the main aspects that keeps cropping up is the fact that neighbouring countries make life much easier for tourists in terms of visas and what not. The other thing that is pretty prevalent is the price of everything be too high these days, something echoes multiple times over in this thread. That isn't something that can be changed easily though.
But they do shoot themselves in the foot, 'mai bpen rai' is the motto around here, and it trickles down into society and just about everything. You'll probably see urgency and action taken by the powers that be when it's too late. Thais often don't prepare to fix things in the future, or when there are signs things might break, they tend to only take action once something is broken.-

I've known quite a few farangs (UK) leave Thailand in the last couple of years gone to live in Cyprus
I went on a holiday there when I was a wee lad. But the great thing is that it's tropical and within the EU, which means British people can live and work there as they so wish.. for now anyway. I did enjoy it there, from what my 10 year old boy memory serves at least

They actually pick it up most of the time now. I was at a beach-side restaurant last week and saw all of the jockeys carrying plastic bags of horse crud with them. Besides, ground up vegetable matter isn't that bad... not a beach time necessity though

While there is some evidence that fasting might aid the efficiency of chemotherapy, there is none that suggests that fasting alone can kill cancer cells.
A second study of mice showed that a bimonthly fasting-mimicking diet reduced the incidence of cancer. Results were similar in a pilot trial by the same scientists with 19 humans; it showed decreased biomarkers and risk factors for cancer.
In a 2016 study, research showed that a combination of fasting and chemotherapy slowed the progression of breast cancer and skin cancer. The combined treatment methods caused the body to produce higher levels of common lymphoid progenitor cells (CLPs) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. CLPs are the precursor cells to lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that migrate into a tumor and are known for killing tumors.
“The mouse study on skin and breast cancers is the first study to show that a diet that mimics fasting may activate the immune system and expose the cancer cells to the immune system,” Longo said. “This could be a very inexpensive way to make a wide range of cancer cells more vulnerable to an attack by the immune cells while also making the cancer more sensitive to the chemotherapy.”
Fasting 12-18 or so hours a day is really beneficial either way. I'm a firm supporter of the legalisation of cannabis, both medically speaking and recreationally, but the use of medical cannabis on cancer cells is also not a concrete closed case argument.

The point is why in a department specifically designed to deal with foreigners they can’t find personnel who can converse in the Lingua franca ( p.s. it’s not Thai as Prayut imagines). If much less educated staff working in bars etc in tourist areas can manage it what does that say about Thai officialdom?
That's a valid point. But seeing as this country has one of the worst English educational systems in SE Asia, probably not going to change soon.

They even opened a center in the mall to make 90 day checkin easier.
I will second this. The centre in the mall is especially great for those on retirement visas, as you simply walk in any time of the day and perform the 90 day stamping; it's rarely got more than 1 person in there.
But even the main immigration is a breeze, especially now that the mall location has opened, as it takes the old timers away thus freeing it up for everybody else-

Seeing as you are married to a Thai, and living in Thailand, wouldn't it be logical to learnt to speak Thai?

What are you talking about? If you have no insurance, you go into a hospital or doctors clinic, and pay a bill at the end of the day. How is that taking their generosity lol?
