True enough.. they can all appear funny and cute, but there is also the inflated sense of ego they get when they accrue a bit of money "do you know who I am " and all that

I'll be plain for you and too hopefully you will be able to understand, The offence to which you are referring has been in the statute book of the Uk for probably more than 200 years, The actual offence that you seem bizarrely to have no knowledge of is "drunk and disorderly" Now I wrote that very slowly because I genuinely doubt that you can read very quickly I am reasonably certain a similar law exists in Thailand already The term "drunk and incapable" was a term often used jokingly in 1970's british comedy productions when a mans virility may have been impaired by alcohol on his wedding night for example And your examples of the degree of "incapability" as you put it don't cut it either there really is not that much difference between stepping into the road without looking and crossing the road without looking However you are bothering me so maybe you are still drunk and incapable from last night, or did you start (very) early today? Hope that was clear enough

Around 20 years ago I was involved in the construction of a large factory at a place called Broughton near Chester in the UK. The factory was built for the manufacture of the airbus wings , I am well aware of how Airbus construct their aircraft If you had bothered to read my post properly you would have better understood my assertion, which was,.. That if somebody wanted to indulge in a little corruption and perhaps line their own pockets by maybe purchasing a multi trillion baht aircraft at a possibly greatly inflated price using government money, It might not be as easy as just contacting airbus direct , having a quiet word , asking them to say nothing, and handing over a brown envelope, It might be necessary to involve several third parties to facilitate the process. and just maybe one of these third parties is based in America. The fact that the aircraft are built in several different countries has absolutely nothing to do with my post, I don't understand why you mentioned it. Were you expecting the Thais to fly around europe speaking to every manufacturer of all the various components asking them to load the prices ?

They need it when applying for the visa originally as well as when extending

That would upset a few on here, might be a need for an "outraged" emoji

You seem to believe everything that you read here,

Don't try and deny it now , its obvious that you believe it In a previous reply to me you actually said .... "There is the result of a survey there, you only have whatever is coming from your mouth." Even what you have written above indicates that you have some sort of belief in it "it tells us little apart from..." It tells us absolutely nothing at all about attitudes to alcohol, It does however demonstrate quite clearly how some organizations think the general population are more inclined to believe their <deleted> when its dressed up as the results of a survey, You have proved, disturbingly , that they are at least in part correct I didn't think after the whole Covid debacle that there was anybody left who believed anything these kind of organizations or governments tell us

Probably not that easy , might be a bit more involved , approaching the company direct and asking for a fraudulent receipt for 5 times what they will actually be spending might be awkward. it is probably necessary to employ a few middlemen and spread the paper trail far and wide to hide where the money actually ends up I think there was an incident a few years ago where somebody at Thai Airways nearly got caught doing something similar with Rolls-Royce engines a few years ago.They must have learnt from their mistakes, and have modified their procedures I wouldn't worry too much about their methods, they are experts at this, they do it for a living and have been at it for generations

What do you want , a medal, or a saint-hood ? There are probably millions of people working and living away from their families,

Strangely written article, almost like there is something missing

I question the mental abilities of those who idolise people like her Words like "net idol" and "influencer" make me want to puke

Why oh Why oh why do people post incorrect information like this ?

That's another matter, as is the question Incapable of what ?

Just like you, I don't know how much money he has or had in the bank, or whether he was unemployed or not, So in the absence of any reliable or credible info It is not my place or yours to judge him, The fact that you are so quick to label him as selfish leads me to think you are indulging in a little virtue signalling

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being right-wing , and anybody supporting the "woke agenda" Is by definition a wrong person, That is exactly what has happened here.

That's probably because nobody has asked for it before, If you asked them nicely they would probably stock some for you, that's kind of how small shops work just curious, but why do some people refer to these shops as "mom & pop stores " is that an "Americanism"

That's because he came with no insurance, I doubt many would bring 10k for a holiday.

Its all a bit tongue in cheek really isn't it ? Its so easy for them to say you were driving erratically, and there would be no chance of appealing a conviction based on one alleging that there was no real reason to have been stopped and breathalysed in the first place, Once you have "blown red" its pretty much game over

"Virtually no money" where did the OP specify how much money he arrived with? Maybe he couldn't bring the kids, It didn't say how old they are, but if there are 5 of them, its probable at least some will be of school age

I choose to keep an open mind, especially when, like you , i don't know all the facts.

I would check before "coming down hard" on anybody if I were you I don't think there is such an offence as "drunk and incapable in public"

i always wondered what sort of people actually believe these surveys, I had an idea what they must be like and now you have confirmed it

Even fathers are allowed holidays, and how do you know he intended to teach english? Do you have special powers....Please

since when does a man ask a woman about driving for gods sake

"Lane" number 1 is not a lane at all, but a hard shoulder that should be used in case of emergency or breakdown. However, it is commonly used and referred to as a motorcycle lane and this practice is unlikely to change. IIRC the law states that motorcycles should occupy the leftmost lane (your lane 2) and keep to the left side of that lane, unless overtaking. Not quite sure what you are trying to prove by quoting that , it is not exactly an authoritative quote, merely another posters answer to a question However you should take note of the middle (2nd) sentence "However, it is commonly used and referred to as a motorcycle lane and this practice is unlikely to change." and the concluding sentence "Often, the rules of the road are in conflict with the practical use of the road." If everybody else uses it as a motorcycle lane . then accidents are bound to happen if / when somebody like you with "righteousness" on his side, stubbornly decides to take matters into his own hands and maybe park up for a nap ....In the middle of what is rightly or wrongly being used as a motorcycle lane You are wrong......give up for gods sake at least stop driving for all our sakes
