I am sure this would have been in checked in luggage, quite bulky for carry on and open to much more scrutiny via transit through Singapore. Her check in luggage would have been picked up at final destination and at best in Singapore maybe only an explosive trace test. Check in luggage is analysed by xray machine and only if outside parameters preset in xray machine would it come up for further scrutiny by security staff. It is highly unlikely her bag would have been scrutinised if it only held clothes, sheets and drugs in Bangkok. However at final destination could have undergone secondary screening and dogs prior to going on luggage carousel and she could have been chosen for inspection exiting immigration area.

Which is just highlighted by the contributor above my last comment

I find the fact amusing that I have read Asean News and the previous sites for several years and been a member for a few but the fact I only contribute when I think that I can help and not just post my opinion to be slated by others I am not able to read certain articles. Obviously just a marketing ploy by managment to encourage traffic regardless of worthwhie contribution.

Or, because he extended his vacation to include Thailand he inadvertantly exceeded the expiry date of his travel insurance.

Am somewhat amazed this guy continues to drive at speed with this woman attempting to exit the vehicle. Surely he should have had the brains to pull over and sort the situation out than to possibly endanger other road users which fortunately did not occur. They both seem to be idiots.

Yes, be very aware when buying through Lazada. I supposedly bought a Lenovo Thinkpad that had been reduced in price and then advised there was a short delay as had to come direct from Lenovo factory. Result was I got some crap no brand laptop that I replaced by going to a local vendor and buying the genuine article. I am aware I could have returned laptop through Lazada but while it was in transit I needed to make an urgent trip overseas for several weeks and they would not do so after my return. Lesson learnt will never buy larger ticket item through Lazada as in reality this was total deception by the vendor.

The 100ml liquid container size was implemented several years ago when a group of muslim terrorists located in I think London booked airtickets on five seperate flights to the USA. Their strategy was to get drink containers and they drilled a hole in the bottom of the container so as not to tamper with the seal at neck of bottle which they were then going to refill with an explosive mix. They were at a very advanced stage in their planning and this was only thwarted at a very late stage. They would obviously carry the other required items like power source and timers seperate from the drink container and assemble at a later stage. They exploded one of the drink bottles in an airframe and the damage was extensive. This was the reason behind the 100ml container size.

oh dear all the conspiracy judgments.... or maybe it is just a prosecutor evaluating a new ruling from SCOTUS....I just dislike logic.

Wow, I just read in an article previous where the vast majority all repeated that you must not say anything contrary to the good image of Thailand. That living here you should not express your personal thoughts on Thai matters. That we are only guests and should not voice our opinions on political matters. Maybe they are different posters.

The ashes do not look like drugs, they are opaque ie. they could be used to mask another object. Remove the ashes from your carry on, advise the loader what they are. They may pass a metal detector over container (if not metal). This was method of operation in Aust. No documentation was required but could help to support claim if required.

Go to Branch Coffee Shop No1.. on beach road Jomtien, great coffee I drink espresso and they give me small jug of water to adjust to taste. Sit in open courtyard with a lovely sea breeze and look out over the ocean. Good menu, lovely decorated juices, drinks etc Is well down beach road where they launch boats etc so always some activity boats or people to liven the experience.

Olmate you appear to have a very prejudiced view of NZ - Aust travel. It has been many many years since a reciprocal agreement of travel by either country did not require a passport. Australia did deport some NZ criminals some of whom had lived and grown up in Aust. nearly all their life (501`s I think called). NZ did not deport criminal australians and there are a lot more australians living in NZ than you would think. Currently in jail in NZ is an australian convicted of terrorism and is the biggest mass murderer in our history. Shame about some bad kiwis isn`t it.

It was reported on AN some time ago police had raided an accountants / solicitors office in Patong (cannot remember which) investigating similar and is within time frame of date on documents produced in this instance. By coincidence on thurs. afternoon my partner was sitting in Jomtien Hospital waiting on test results. In waiting room was falang and thai partner, in walked police (DSI) approached falang with documents in hand and asked if he was ....... They all left together.

It is my belief that Thai Immigration do not enforce incoming traveller to have six months remaining on there pp. Could anyone endorse this fact for me. I recently received my new Non O renewal that coincided with the expiry date of my pp and I was aware of this fact and it was only a difference of ten days so did not concern me. It is my intention to renew this pp in the near future but would be more convenient to do this at a later date because of current overseas travel plans. I am aware of issues with airline check-in staff overseas.

I am not american and do not vote in their elections but I am appalled that this man can be eligible to be elected to the POTUS. I do not think I have ever seen or heard of such a despicable character to be considered eligible for such a position. To me the barometer for Trump in his term as POTUS was the people he employed to support his term in office but to be then discarded in the most offensive terms. But you then read the comment of very senior people that were part of his inner circle and very seasoned diplomats and of two I recollect describe him as totally unworthy and incapable of being an effective POTUS. I cannot believe that many in the GOP could in any way support this criminal so feel the world will not be destined to suffer another term of this criminal buffoon.
