Hopefully when they get his side of the story it will be sorted out. And if he was coerced or cheated about paying the bill. And felt it would still escalate.. Or possibly face criminal charges. Drunk or not. He still has the right to speak to the Japanese embassy. The bill might have been inflated. He might have ran because he was threatened. Who knows. But the story also says he was drinking there four days. So obviously there were no other issues up until that point. And if you are a local. Your name in a news story gets either changed or not published. But if you are a foreigner it’s published for all to see.

Blacklisted due to Cannabis
swm59nj replied to Jonesy456's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You need to speak to an attorney because you had a criminal conviction. But I will take a guess. You were charged by the specific law at that time. Which has nothing to do with now. So your ban will probably be upheld. But you can get an attorney to try to appeal it -
Brit 'dumped' in Thailand after his flight home is cancelled
swm59nj replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I don’t understand why this is newsworthy. Many travelers have their flights canceled. And they have to do what needs to be done -

I have known people that own legally bought guns. They don’t go around committing violence. And here people with the so called ego and culture issues are using illegal guns. From what I see on Thai news programs. There seems to be quite a bit of gun violence. For a country where owning a gun is supposedly illegal.

Much Higher Traffic Fines in Effect from Sept 5
swm59nj replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Good to increase fines. But unfortunately the majority of the drivers don’t care. They will complain about the increase. But still continue their bad habits -
When a citizen of another country either visits, or resides in another country. You have to accept the rules, laws, etc. If you don’t agree, or don’t like certain things, you don’t go or leave. You can of course express disagreement on such things as a forum. But he is going overboard for a non- citizen. He was visited by the police allegedly given an ultimatum. What did he expect.

I noticed after living here for almost three years. Accountability is not really a virtue in the LOS.

It might have caused it or not. One will never know. And the vaccine cannot be blamed. And just because a person was healthy one day. Doesn’t mean they can’t get a medical condition the next. And the vaccine studies on young children are still fairly new. Different people react to different things. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing until you get a reaction

Should the Thai government ban mobile use for motorcyclists?
swm59nj replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They should. But difficult to control. Too many people. And people that don’t care law or not -
Bangkok gets tough with motorcyclists riding or parking on pavements
swm59nj replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
People either don’t care or need better enforcement. For the past two days in Bangkok I saw quite a few motorbikes riding on the sidewalks -
I’m not saying it might not have happened. But the facts are kind of strange. This is a serious issue. So the person went to the police. Instead of immediately contacting the police to arrive on scene. And / or going to the juristic immediately to report it. Then juristic can contact police and possibly detain the employee. If the employee actually did do it. He knows there are cameras all over the building and in the elevators.

Immigration officers in all countries might overly question someone. Based on the persons entering the countries history. And they probably do profile certain people. That is the way immigration functions. When I go to the private hospital here in Bangkok for example. My health insurance pays for my medical care 100%. But when I go to a cashier to sign the paperwork. Some have insisted I have to pay or pay something. Some even have gotten argumentative. Even though they see paperwork from my insurance saying I don’t. Like I’m a foreigner trying to escape without paying.

Why do people want a condo for their 2 week holiday ???
swm59nj replied to Peterw42's topic in General Topics
Maybe they don’t want to stay in a hotel room and can afford it. Not everyone has limited funds
