Decent paving is a waste of time as soon ad its nice and flat a food vendor will set up and force you to walk on the road

This is not a sudden change in policy its been in place for decades, tou chose Thailand as a retirement destination so stop moaning about it now because you failed to take it into account. If you want the pension increases then move to Philippines

William pushed his 15 seconds of fame , got mentioned more than the girls who were making the complaint, hardly newsworthy

Viet jet will not be prosecuting the woman? If the threat was enough to involve the authorities and activate emergency procedures and possibly causing distress to all the passengers then action should most definitely have been taken if not by the airline then the respective air authorities. She made the threat and is immediately allowed on another aircraft. Id make her travel back by either road or sea as a lesson. Cant mess about with bomb word in this day and age

If they refuse to blow what makes them think making them urinate will be easier, police can’t take blood so will need to be done in a hospital environment and i bet they haven’t even spoken to the health ministry to see where they stand legally under current thai laws

All these rules on stall size and placement which will be ignored immediately until a pedestrian is forced onto the road and hit by traffic…. But now they are loe income stall holders not worth suing them

Immigration seem a bit top heavy with the Lt Col rank, not sure it takes 3 to arrest an overstayer plus an investigation team

Miss handling implies this was mistakes due to incompetence, this was outright corruption and perverting the course of justice, not seeing any of the family getting dragged in for actually bribing or coercing these guys into trying to ensure lad didn’t face justice. Only way to have him brought back is for a worldwide boycott on redbull and its subsidiaries (bud light blitz)

Not going to be another coup because that would mean elections and they only just managed to keep the move forward party from taking charge, now they have the Thaksin clan in charge which isn’t ideal for the “ elites” but better than the alternative, and they also have some control over the Thaksin family due to his criminal convictions and those of his sister which are pending . we will likely see her return in coming year if they tow the line and don’t make waves.

Pitbull bites someone and its newsworthy, people are getting bitten by soi dogs every hour of every day, people chased down and forced to fall off motorcycles, dogs running into traffic and getting hit by cars causing damage.

What about all subsequent officials who allowed charges against him to expire the statute of limitations instead of prosecuting him in absentia. Going after the people who tried to cover things up but even after the truth has come out red bull heir still hasn’t been convicted of any crime

Do they walk around with their eyes closed? This has been going on forever Russians generally come here then frequent Russian owned bars/restaurants and hotels. The affluent Chinese and Indian tourists they sought to attract aren’t bothered about a few baht visa fee. They have attracted middle class visitors who don't have the money to spend freely and will think “I’m not paying that i can get it cheaper in my home country “

Tv needs to become involved before local and provincial government step up and tackle the problem, make them look bad on the tv and things tend to get resolved very quickly. Thailand introduced the animal cruelty laws to prevent people taking revenge on dangerous dogs and those making peoples lives miserable due to noise, destructive behavior and traffic accidents. What they didn’t do is come up with government guidelines to fix the problems. Report the incident and if someone else gets bit a legal claim against the government for dereliction of duty and endangerment

Wonder what visa they applied for lol

Thai government didn’t waste their breath asking thai citizens to obey thai law

Why is this still Thai news if he has been shown to have left the country? He has either met a Finnish chick while on holiday or he had 8 hour flight suffering from post Thailand blues and is waiting for the next flight back here and doesn’t want to listen to his family trying to talk him out of it

He so ill needs to remain in hospital for his entire sentence…. Thaksin paroled….. its a miracle and i don't need to remain in hospital for a minute longer problem is the system has not been transparent quoting doctor patient confidentiality to avoid the truth coming out

Innocent until proven guilty, contaminating a crime scene, expectations of privacy,

How were these photos taken in his hotel room while still in be in a state of undress? Either police have been bribed by the press to gain access to a crime scene or the police have taken the pictures and sold them to the press

The sexual assault was committed here so he shold be extradited and serve his sentence in a thai jal

No alcohol, what about weed? What about cigarettes? What about meat/fish/eggs? Prescription drugs? Mobile telephone and computers, motor vehicles, sugar and related products if Thailand wants its citizens to be morally Buddhist for 2 days then at least do it properly and ban everything that goes against the teachings of Buddha not pick and choose especially something that will negatively impact tourism, not just about the drink as many restaurants will also close due to loss of patrons and drink revenue thai people don’t abide by the no alcohol sales rule every mom and pop shop will be business as usual, half the rice farmers and laborers can’t function without a redbull bottle full of lao khao

I can go mid week and show it as being deserted then i can go a few days later at the weekend and it would be bustling, easy to cook the figures and show it either way, cha am isn’t a huge attraction to visiting foreigners mainly local visitors taking advantage of its relatively close proximity to bangkok at the weekends, can be busy in the week but that’s mainly government departments wasting tax payers money holding “seminars” by the beach

The sin city is what helped it turn into a large coastal tourist city from a quaint little fishing village during the Vietnam war era, it is what it is you don't need to embrace its darker side but you do need to accept it. Lets face it hardly a place id go for white sand and crystal clear waters so many better options in and outside of Thailand

How will this increase tourism? If anything it will annoy tourists even more, can get a drink at the airport but then everywhere is closed when you hit the streets, and the only place you can have a drink after a long flight happens to charge 3-4 times more for the same bottle at a regular shop

So the Thai mobs demanding justice for a woman being assaulted are reserved for female doctors only…
