"brutal assault" Here we go again, just as it was slowing down a bit. Imagine those two will spend some time in the hoosegow, not that I care what they do to them. The Thai media is going to run with this for another week at least. Starting with the swiss kicker this has been a solid month of the evil that farang do. You bet the Chinese diplomatic crew are laughing their hind ends off at this turn of events.

You got to love how the Thai press goes full metal when a farang is caught doing this. It is almost like they can blame decades of fake Rolex's on those keenok farang. They definitely try.

Sounds too convenient an explanation, made by people who do not like both the MFP & PT. You wonder if someone very high up, said time to bring the T man back. That cannot be argued with or tal;ked about. What can be done is try & undermine his popularity among the Thai population. Been doing that for 25 years now. Yawn.

Imagine Charly & Andrew Brett are both dreaming of a prison cell in Blighty. Good luck on that.

2019 to 22 ?! 😐 I bought my Bangkok Rolexs decades earlier. I must have got the cheaper fakes! Scammed again.

Tripe? Did you bother to read the Time article, or just read Thaiger's headlines & maybe their story?! Not a fan of TIME but four fifths of the their article is about the problems facing the PM & Thailand after two decades of internecine conflict, losing its lead in SEA, failed guidance by a non elected government, and the resulting economic & social stagnation. Pretty much spot on. Which is why Thaiger does not mention any of that. Thaiger's job is to keep the facade & window dressing looking good. They count on the fact you will read their spin, but are too lazy to read the original article.

So it is like Trip advisor, we use it but know that we really cannot trust it. Meh.

I use my Laptop when making transactions. After logging in with name & password. When I am about to complete a transaction, they then ask for my password a second time before I can complete & send money. This has been the MO for 10 months or so now. Likely it came about the same time I had to reconfirm my identity with a new (same) picture. Garf!

One pill?! Obviously a dealer. 😃

After pumping Swiss Farang Xeno for weeks, they now want Euros, as the Yuan, Ruble, & Rupee is not enough in 24. Hope that works out for you.

The ones not having the Double Whopper from Burger King?

Yep, but Indonesian Airlines are like that. They used to be collectively known as ... 'The Flying Circus'. That said they have improved safety standards. Yes it is true. I use AAsia BKK BALI as my hot season Thai escape & then fly local on from there to the eastern isles. They do seem to hit the tarmac pretty hard when coming into Ambon or Manado though. Ouch. Ramadan this year (& last) so it is Thai islands Thai Airways used to be good. That said, the complaints made by many here about Thai staff & pilots having attitude problems, that might be the best term to use, is true. That is why I stopped flying them. Some of their staff work their tails off, others could not be bothered & you have no clue what if anything they do. Why fly them if you can fly JAL, EVA, Qatar, etc. It is my money, I do not pay for 'attitude issues' from Hi So types who think it beneath them to serve customers.

That does not mean they cannot screw things up even more if they work at it and it seems they are working at it. That 60K fine for possesion, you can bet the local plod will go full in on that. Have it available, yet illegal for most like ... wait for it .... tourists. Being the kind hearted souls they are, they may accept a bit less to let the 'crim' walk. WooHoo! Happy Days Are Here Again.

Recommend one & all listen to Alabama senator Katie Brill's Official Republican Response/Rebuttal to President Bidens State of the Union. Wow, what a space cadet. Now I would expect she is a cadet, being a member of the Republican party but her rebuttal is beyond weird. I assume she had a team writing, coaching her response, & how to deliver it, but gawd! Here I thought you could not sink lower than Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville. I was wrong, so wrong. AT least he makes sense, in a religious neo fascistic way, she is beyond that.

I cannot imagine this has been as publicized as it has, and gone on as long as it has, without the authorities (read government) approval. What they are doing, what the game is ... up2Y to figure that out. As for our local crowd AN crowd who pile in, denouncing the crud, who somehow think this makes them different than the swiss miscreants. Yes, In their own eyes definitely yes, but I'm thinking the Somchai on the soi does not see it the same way.

So that is how the average Somchai on the soi sees it. A "sovereignty" issue. Good to know.

Purple Pyramid. Now that was some blotter acid. According to friends, as I was into militant Episcopalianism back in those days.

Bored with pulling the wings off insects?

Twitter .... X It's everywhere you want to be. Make it so OP.

I don't hate Thais at all if think so, but there are things that could be improved to make the whole society better.. Sometimes you have to have stand a bit on a distance to see things better If you watch the TV news, and I do not advise that you do, they went full nutto on it yesterday morning. However almost nothing on the mass killing at the Ubon concert. If you look at a English language newspaper which cannot be mentioned, nothing about Ubon shooting, that this morning. Appears the powers that be are whipping up things about the kicker, while they bury the Ubon shooting. Same MO used in that other shooting when the Thai media went full metal after the CNN news crew, who had done nothing wrong, btw. Certainly the Swiss man & his wife have done something wrong but really ... a kicking?! Distraction & deflection.

I beg to differ. No 500 baht fine, & the Thai guy could phone in the apology so no wai either. That based on the Rimping Ping river store incident of a couple years back. Thai drop kicked an 80 plus y.o. farang into parked motorcycles. The perp phoned in an apology, & offered to cover medical expenses. Thai police gave the farang victim thirty days to press charges, as they did not. Now, he was not a Doctor to my knowledge, but...

They have done it twice before. A man from Ohio and Pennsylvania. Cost them a pretty penny, & they spent a couple months in the Thai clink. As I recall the man from Ohio never was allowed to actually see the bullet they found. He just got a thai smile with a 'we don't need no stinking badges bullet' look. The funny thing in those two cases and this case. The perp went through multiple scanners in a couple different (Taiwan & US) in one case, flying into Thailand, but it was never discovered, until they "found it" while leaving Thailand. Uh huh. Looks like I am going to have to wrap my luggage in plastic at Swampy next fly out. & review thai legal protocols, once again. BTW This morning 45 minutes plus of breathless coverage about a farang (swiss) miscreant kicker in Phuket. Must be heading into another xeno phase again. Better keep head down.

When I make an order, double it up, toss half in the freezer. A slow & steady approach.

Nothing else to do but go online & order up more Strawberry Gorilla & Woodinville Wafflestomper. Bag it, tag it, toss in the back of the freezer box. Build up a serious stash. That Wafflestomper is a monster you know.

They had 10 minutes plus on TV this morning - you watched yes?! Not talking the edited video clip on you tube or tik tok or wherever, talking about the morning news channels Somehow I get the idea you did not & have no clue about that TV coverage. After the TV hyperventilating, one would expect a murder or at least a bloody R. scene. I am sure he is a piece of excrement but that does not change a bit of what I said. Catch the midday or evening news, watch the rant, I am talking the announcers here, Oh & nice shooting from the hip yourself, Tex. Cheers
