I just watched that video, and I think the guy should have ran to the bike a lot quicker …
but easy to say sitting here ...
Looks like he was wearing flip flops - not trainers.

10,000 USD or equivalent is the typical amount that attracts a detour through a central bank when being transferred in or out of a country. 50,000 baht sounds like a limit for a transferred out sum.

I arrived at Swampy at 1:30pm on 20th September - immigration line non existent - flight from Doha empty about 30 pax only - excellent news.

tell that to the 300 people queueing up at the airport
This might have more to do with too many A380's & 747's all landing at the same time of day - same issue with IAH, Houston around 4pm.
I would of though some routes - especially direct from the USA, Australia, EU & UK - could be considered for passing through Thai immigration checks at major airports of departure.

well we all know what happens here
when the price of oil drops it takes ages for the punter to get the benefit
talking the UK here last week it was reported Tesco and other big supermarket chains were dropping the price of a litre by 3 pence this week
lets see what happens now wont take long for a increase at the pumps
Exactly all petrol/diesel retailers are quick to raise prices & much slower to lower them when crude oil prices fluctuate.

Any chance of passing on the lawyer's contact details?

Will the high speed track be elevated &/or totally fenced in?
If not how are they planning to keep the M/Cs & PUs behind the barriers at the crossings?

Why does the Thai army not resource such equipment from within Thailand?
Buy a couple of different types from different countries as samples and then design and build there own.

At least the chief is walking the line and seeing for himself - can't knock him for that.

Confused!
I keep reading how tourist numbers are down and it's so
quiet in all the tourist destinations around Thailand.
Now the airport is overrun with long queues due to so many
arrivals, IO's will need to do overtime and increase their output
by 30%.
So which is it?
It is all fake news every one playing a numbers game across the board - same in most busy airports. If you land at IAH in Houston around 4pm its the same scene at immigration made worse by multiple AirBus 380 all landing one after the other, bad enough with just 747s. Timing is all important to beat the queues.

In at least two hospitals I've been in, unless you are personally conducted to the cashier (which didn't happen to me), you just walk out
I have been conducted to the cashier every time but then it would of been possible to slip away it you had no need ever to return

Perhaps it was not so note worthy - anyway the Developer has lost the opportunity to take the building apart & re-build it else where or incorporate it into the new development.
Might of made a good gentlemens club though or up market jail for overstays in another location that is.

Not really surprised, this is the verdict that I expected. In mitigation, if that is possible, he stayed at the scene and fully admitted his guilt, made substantial financial reparations and seemed to be genuinely sorry.
This is Thailand and of course we all expect the wealthy to walk away with none or minor punishment but in this case I think justice might have been satisfied.
But not banned from driving - ????

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stryker
Made in Canada for US Army.................at US$2.9m must be a basic version or pre-owned.
Cost[edit]
The unit cost to purchase the initial Stryker ICVs (without add-ons, including the slat armor) was US$3 million in April 2002.[93] By May 2003, the regular production cost per vehicle was US$1.42 million.[94] In February 2012, the cost had risen to US$4.9 million.[4]

If they wanted to invade Cambodia in the dry season, they'd work. Or safely transporting a high-value VIP like Yingluck. I've seen a few similar types at a US Marine Corps exhibition, and they are HUGE! But with all the armor, the passenger area in back is tiny. Might be OK in BKK floods of perhaps 2 meters. A 90 million Baht SUV.
Could of bought British me thinks - cheaper and right hand drive too

Sadly this Article 12 (2) and (9) has been used against people without them knowing about it on many occasions when arriving in the kingdom. This has become the most common excuse to deny foreigners entry into Thailand.
The real reason is that the person has too many visa exempt entries into Thailand in the computer and in their passport!
I know that in the past year on some days at land borders, 30 plus people were denied entry on visa exempt stamps and sent back.
I have gone so far at to recommend that friends who visit Thailand on a regular basis on a visa exempt stamp, actually have the requisite 20,000 baht cash and a return ticket in hand and put them on the counter with their passport when approaching the immigration officer.
Most times it works, but sometimes it doesn't!
Where did the 20,000 baht come from..........is it not 10,000 baht?

Some one close anyway put the thief up to it.
Personally I would tell the wife/partner I am off and see what happens.
He should leave the village and leave it to the elders to sort out and the mystery will be resolved with the passport & plastic being found in a field by someone wanting a reward.
In addition someone will get drunk & be seen to have money all of a sudden perhaps a new M/C too and the appropriate face saving actions will come about.
A safe should be his next purchase or a ticket home.

You got that right being targets in Issan. Scandalous people sometimes, and I agree it was an inside job from someone from perhaps like a cousin who new they brought money like this every time they came. Dog poisoned again? Yikes. What do you think the premise behind this is? Way too many times already..
Poisoned the dogs so they would not bark & raise the alarm possibly?

for a serious institution abroad, a 10 million USD foreign exchange position is not a very large position.
Just imagine the implied foreign exchange risk from changes in production cost for a major car producer. JPY dropped by only 9.6 % against the THB.Didn't Toyota manufacturing recently move to another ASEAN country to avoid flooding due to a lack of Thai investment in water infrastructure to prevent flooding of their plant.

Same in the UK - police have no time or given the resources to address petty crime - they just do the admin for insurance claims.
