I'm watching live BBC News on TVPlayer (available on all good VPNs). It was the German gentleman who tried to save him that said he was a Thai man.

I will retract if it's incorrect, but, as he is stuck in a restaurant with the dead man and the victim's wife, it seems credible.

I just heard that a Thai male tourist in Strasbourg has been killed in the attack on a Christmas market.

A German gentleman called Peter Fritz applied CPR and what medical treatment he could for 45 minutes, but was told on his phone by his Emergency Responder supporters, that it was futile to continue.

He has been lying dead in a restaurant for some time now while the Security Services “assess the situation”.

His wife is there with him.

I'm a tiddly bit confused by the requirements in UJ's list (not saying the list is wrong!!).

If the application is for an extension of stay which will last a year, why on earth would they need a TM6 departure card?

So far just “farang” embassies. I guess the rest of Europe, and possibly South Africa and New Zealand - to point to a couple - will go the same route.

How long before the more “dark skinned” embassies such as Nigeria fall prey to this. Or Indian, and Middle Eastern countries.  Or are they just being ejected in a “clampdown”.

You can guarantee China will not be affected by this.

I will be coming in for my seventh visit within two years on this passport. I don't get visas, just turn up with my passport and get a stamp.

I only stay for two or three weeks each time in a hotel in Ubon (a GOOD hotel!) with my intended.

Every time I come, it's a direct return flight from Heathrow to Swampy on Thai Airways.

Do you think I could be dragged out and questioned? I will only have three hours to catch the connection ?
