Typical Thai story but could be a mixture of reporters getting the story confused. Chada is a cabinet Minister so his collection is more than likely an illegal one like most in LOS! So he offers to give it away or pay taxes, smell Fishy????

Maybe you need to familiarise yourself a little more with Islam before making these comments, whilst there are many good Muslim people as there are Christians, Budahists etc Islam has a rather nasty twist to its ideals which so often become apparent!

Dont worry, they have a Burmese guy earmarked as the killer, it couldn't possibly have been a Thai person!!

And Anutin didnt wear a mask either, especially when partying & even on the news !!!

Yes thats right but Hezbollah have recently been assisting Hamas against a common enemy and will possibly become more involved as time goes forward.

Sadly the RTP know who the illegal gun suppliers are because they are probably in many instances the supplier of the weapons and possibly the beneficiary's as well. This "storm in a tea cup" is just to appease the Chinese and will continue just like it has been in the future.

Hamas is also the enemy of the Palestinians, just most of them are either too scared, to stupid or maybe brainwashed to acknowledge this fact. Hamas know Israel will retaliate plus some and that wont be good for all, especially the Palestinians of which many just want to get on with life! Probably instigated & assisted by Tehran with other eastern Europe influence! Putin would love to give the West another headache to take the heat off Russia so he can win the war! What a sad sorry disgusting bunch we have become as homosapien's.

Typical back stabbing Thailand, they have an opinion that is taking sides yet claim neutral status, par for the course here from Thai officialdom!!

What, Immigration officers taking bribes, I dont believe it, this could not be true from this fine upstanding bunch of hardworking officials !!!!

Double hypocrisy, Thailands ministers fail to offer condolences for the Burmese lady whilst the Burmese Ambassador represents and illegal junta thats murdering its citizens daily! I would have hoped the new unelected by the people PM would have been equally as apologetic for both victims but I guess as usual money is the driving force, especially in LOS!

if you dont mind telling me what was his sentence?

Like most countries its not usually the legally issued firearms that are used in these shootings, its the illegal ones! Not including the USA!

Are we looking at the same picture? I see 4 red in colour shot gun cartridges in the picture, that is not "Full rounds of ammunition" just 4 cartridges!!

Juvenile or not, he should be treated like an adult given the nature of the crime!

He should start by sacking all those useless senators getting paid 120,000 a month

They are saying 6,000 for biopsy and polyp removal which is on top of the price for a colonoscopy! Most hospitals in Thailand will charge you somewhere between 18,000 & 25,000 for the procedure plus extra for the removal of polyps and a biopsy. Bumrungrad and some may charge more but thats the range I got last year from 3 BKK hospitals.

Bangkok Hospital Samui quoted me last year 40,000 plus extra for polyps etc. Some hospitals try to get you to overnight which is BS so dont fall for that one unless of course you have other health issues which may be a factor. You will be put under for the procedure so may wake up a little groggy which means you probably shouldn't drive until you have eaten and feel normal.

Sadly sometimes yes but many because its easy money! Why be a hotel worker where you earn 12,000 a month when a good looking "working girl" can earn many times that with far less effort. For many of these ladies ethics doesnt come into it!

You mean the "smiling assassins" who say see my beautiful smile while I overcharge you! They are dining out on history long past!

The longer I stay in Thailand the more I realise that telling "porkies" is a cultural habit!

I presume his legitimate salary is the lesser of the packages that come with being almost at the top of the food chain!!

In normal circumstances I will only take metered cabs, I had a flight to catch and was in a hurry, opportunists!!!!

I had the exact same scenario last year in Bangkok, I got charged 300 Thb and told it was a 20 minute drive to the shopping mall, less than 5 minutes later he stops and says here’s your destination which it was. So I asked him so why is a less than 5 minute drive a 300 Thb fare and he answered, today Sunday no traffic! I said to him I suppose that’s welcome to Thailand taxi driver ripoffs and he laughed! sadly they are too short sighted to realise long term they will be the losers and the authorities do little to fix the problem except talk about it.

This incident is almost as comical as reading the comments posted here! It was a Chinese tour group on board so almost definitely a Chinese owned bus with a Chinese level of maintenance, add that to a "Thai driver" anything is possible!

Encroaching would probably be the only reason RTP would bother and of course to get the picture taken showing how great they are!
