Crime AI Police Robot Helps Catch 14 Criminals in Thailand
Thumbs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Typical thai police too busy patting themselves on the back, they had a secret weapon but had to shout it from the rooftops to big up themselves. Now everyone knows about it and what it looks like and it's best to wear face mask and sunglasses when it's about -
The owner did jail time for illegal hunting and killing a leopard, how many thai and Myanmar workers and members of the public is he and his company responsible for killing now? Seems like every month there is another health and safety failure but no serious investigation and stoppage of work only in thailand would this be allowed

Step 1 is to enforce the emergency light use, everyone thinks they can stick lights on their vehicles from coaches to grab riders. No wonder people decide to ignore them -
Travel Thailand Tightens Airport Rules on Liquids and Gels to Boost Safety
Thumbs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Hopefully these rules are not enforced by the same people responsible for the security at the airports car parks, they stop you to enter and run the mirror under the vehicle to search for ieds but they only do so on drivers side -

Thailand " do as we say not as we do" deserves everything that's coming but targeting a foreigner for replicating what 80% of thai riders do every single day stinks of hypocrisy -
Crime Red Bull Heir at Centre as High-Profile Corruption Verdict Looms
Thumbs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
10 yrs to get to this stage, now sentenced so goes to appeal for God knows how many years, what a out there state pensions are they stopped because the corruption happened while in office? Not seeing anything about why they went to this effort to keep red bull heir out of jail, who paid them? Will profits from the crime be seized by the state? Thailand where justice is as clear as mud -

British Expat Finds Bliss in Thai Paradise, Won’t Return Home
Thumbs replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Good on her, the only problem I have is her telling everyone about her easy life and everyone should do the same, without telling people the process she went through to obtain the visa to remain here, how is she sustaining her lifestyle not everyone has the social media presence to be able to make a living, if she is "working " as a social media influencer is she registered to work ? Does she pay taxes here? You can make a good life for yourself here if you know all the facts, but things can just as easily go Pete Tong When did the DTV visa start? Has anyone completed the initial 180 days yet? Wondering what's going to happen about taxes -
Bangkok Shop Owner Defends Right to Sell Controversial Shirts
Thumbs replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
This is second hand clothing! If they want to complain go after the person who manufactured it or the person who bought it originally and then donated it, or the charities that collected it and then sent it overseas. Problem is thailand lives in it's own little bubble and kids are not taught about the holocaust r other atrocities committed by Hitler. She is not forcing people,e to purchase these items, problem comes when thais buy a swastika or Hitler shirt then travel to places where it could get them in serious trouble -

Thaksin Investigation Stalled by Legal Hurdles, Says NACC
Thumbs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is how thailand operates, inital outrage then drag things out until everyone forgets Multiple expressway collapses and cars being struck by falling debris. Things died down from first and nothing changed with safety standards so second serious collapse occurs Red bull heir that was allowed to drag on so statute of limitations expired on majority of his offences then the final one was swept under the table until it hit the news again and the house of cards started to crumble Police and their crackdown after a serious incident like a mass shooting then within a week they have made hundreds of arrests and seizures of illegal guns ( if it was that easy why wasn't it done on a daily basis) If it wasn't for social media detectives and local news channels running stories of government ineptitude forcing action so as not to lose face then nothing would get done here -
Needs to a serious safety review of this company and its operating procedures, the whole route has safety first signs plastering the bollards, if safety is their first priority hate to be involved in anything they think as less important. We hear about these big incidents where there are multiple deaths and serious injury casualties, this is 3rd case I'm aware of but how many single case deaths have occurred that are not deemed as important have there been since this project started.. what year are we on 10+. They moan constantly about the smog in bkk but build another expressway into the capital, high speed train with multiple park and ride car parks would have been a better option

British Tourists Arrested in Phuket for Reckless Driving and Attack
Thumbs replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Not condoning their actions but people can only be prosecuted under the current laws, if the laws aren't considered serious enough by thai netizens only they have voting rights during elections to get things changed, the problem is these people want foreigners to be punished more severely than locals committing the same offences, reckless driving happens in every street of every province on a daily basis if they jailed every one who is guilty 75% of the population would be behind bars. Knife offence seems bit lenient but again if that's the thai law it's the thai people that need to change it. -

Little said about how this dodgy dealing was made possible and the government officials who made it possible, jail time and confiscation of property of anyone found guilty of corruption at the land office so the demolition is not at public expense -
Thailand Faces Backlash Over Secret Uyghur Deportation to China

Thailand Urged to Enhance Tourist Screening Amid Visa-Free Boom
Thumbs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What's a good and bad tourist? You build a city like pattaya on the back of booze and prostitution then moan when the tourists that arrive are seeking just that, every other shop is a bar, weed shop or indian restaurant. If you want "quality tourists" then clean up the city to make it less appealing, but remember people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, clean up the brown mafia, clean the beaches, stop long term scams like the jet skis, stop building until you have adequate drainage to prevent flooding
