From the OP:- "Thong Supachai, a friend of the couple" (possibly?)
-
With respect, the fall was in Patong (Phuket)!!
-
A very sad and tragic road accident, like so many others we read about. Despite their sexual orientation and age difference, may they RIP together in Paradise (Sagga).

Amazing Thailand!!

PM Prayut Arrives in Belgium for ASEAN-EU Summit
Burma Bill replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes indeed - current temperature in Brussels (13/12/2022) is 1C (33F)!! -
Corruption - yes (possibly). When I lived in Northern Thailand, myself and other local ex-pats used an agent - our friendly local Immigration Officer and many thanks to him!! I now continue my retirement in Cambodia where obtaining a visa, or extending a visa, is totally hassle free with no financial requirements and other associated bureaucratic paperwork - not even a bank account!!!

Cambodia is there as well - plastic bags galore in shopping malls, supermarkets, street food/take away food vendors etc. etc. BUT in todays Khmer media (13 December 2022): "If all people together do not use plastic bags a day, we can reduce the use of plastic bags by 16 million bags per day and let this be a movement.................." https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501201296/seminar-sheds-light-on-policy-to-reduce-plastic-use/

Not at all, especially if you entertain guests/customers and do not want "bugs" in your rice. I find this interesting compared to the regular boring news about entertainment hours, marijuana, Covid in Thailand and road accidents!

I have the same problem. Before cooking, I first give the rice 4 or 5 washings/rinses with fresh water in a saucepan. The tiny black insects will float to the surface. Decanter the water with the insects to leave clean rice ready for cooking.

found with no legal license - bingo!!!

A very intriguing story indeed, also involving an Australian ex-boss. The so-called "accused" had met the victim on a previous visit to Cambodia. This is the current media report in today's Khmer press (12 December 2022) - click to read full report. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501200930/cambodian-assault-victim-case-gets-more-complicated-with-ex-wife-of-australian-boss-denying-involvement/

Action.....................................and cut!! (ouch!)

Wishing a speedy recovery to all the injured students and teachers.

or maybe Cockermouth (Cumbria)??
-
Interesting - a well travelled man. Narathiwat, Chiang Rai, Samui!! On the run????
-
Yes indeed, just another 16 years to go for me.
-
My apologies for the misunderstanding. When I arrived, no pink document was handed out.
-
Oh really??
-
What a laugh - I do like the "no helmet" foreigner's registration plate - 555. Coincidence or not??
-
Yes, 5th shot (3rd booster) is recommended - well, here in Cambodia! I have had mine, Pfizer, for free, with no adverse reactions.
-
This may shed some light on the accident - planned or not! Maybe the elderly gentleman was taken ill and lost control. Very sad. RIP elderly couple.
-
Is it likely the homeless residents will be charged with "trespassing with intent" ??
-
I recently flew into Bangkok DMK from Cambodia and there was no request for a pink document or Covid-19 vaccination record. Immigration just wanted my passport and boarding card.

Possibly - there is a confidential free phone call number for Thai Immigration, 1178.

Well, there is an obvious difference:
