  1. What kind of hack journalism is this. I think someone doesn't understand proper decimal placement. 40 billion baht divided by 14 means that each one averaged EIGHTY-SIX MILLION, NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX MILLION US dollars per trade. Anyone with that much liquid capital to invest wouldn't be taking random phone calls, and would have an army of lawyers, accountants, and advisors to handle their money.
  2. Traffic tickets take too long to process. I'm guessing something far worse like a hit-and-run.
  3. That means the money's all gone.
  4. They can enter private property if they can see a crime happening in plain sight. This is a cornerstone of all law enforcement in every country that I'm aware of. In this case, they could clearly see people sitting around and gamble -or at least they thought it was gambling.
  5. If ol' Dong had simply spent that 77,000 baht on her, I think he still would have had a girlfriend
  6. Definitely just a misunderstanding! All three are upstanding members of the Nigerian Royal Family, and just waiting for their inheritances to clear a simple probate procedure. Perhaps if we all send them a few thousand $US each, it will help them get their money, and they will reward us with a chunk of their money! Who wants to create the gofundme?
  7. Hey, it was a mistake. The police apologised and left. That's what they're supposed to do. But I can't help but feel that some here wouldn't be happy unless the cops beat confessions out of everybody.
  8. I agree. Wearing black-on-black, he's too color coordinated to be from the UK. But that pointed bullet head of his, Russian?
  9. Amateur! Everyone knows you're supposed to double-bag them in condoms, like how the Columbian coke mules do it.
  10. Seriously? It took 30-minutes to get the kid out? This needed a rescue squad and specialized equipment? ... They were at a service station fer chrissakes!
  11. Take another look at the top picture. Notice how much bark had been scraped-off of the tree. That car went into the tree sideways and probably caused extensive damage to the frame, effectively totalling the car. And, as the car has been abandoned, I'm guessing the engine or drive train were knocked-out as well.
  12. So this Austrian was smuggling meth from Austria to Thailand? Seems to me he's got his directions all confused.
  13. Yep. It's a ZU-23-2 = twin barrelled, 23mm autocannon. Introduced by the Soviet Union, but copied by China. While it was meant to be a short-range AA gun, the one you see here, in Africa, and in Ukraine, are mostly used against vehicles, light armor, buildings, and infantry. They can fire explosive shells which are devastating against infantry, even hidden in woods or buildings.
  14. I'll bet she did. But she probably got scared as that much cash would mean that criminals would eventually come around looking for it..
  15. I am communicating appropriately. I've used facts based on actual, real-world combat records. You jumped-in making wild claims based-on an obvious lack of understanding the subject. Or history. My assumption about what part of your body your claims comes from, stands.
  16. 150k baht/month is £40k a year So how could you save £2.5 million making £40k year? And you are obviously young. And with only 70k subs?
  17. Really? And what are your qualifications to declare "All much better than F16"? Which block F-16s are you talking about? Do you know what " block" means and how much they affect the capabilities of a 50-year old design? The F-16, flown by all allies has a 76-1 record vs Russian/Soviet/Chinese jets, what records do the others have? ...or perhaps you are merely talking out of your backside?
  18. Good to know! I have under eye bags that could do with a little "lifting" and the name of a good surgeon is always useful to have! Thanks!
  19. What is the cause? Age-related sagging of skin (eyelids) that may obscure vision? Purely cosmetic?
  20. Finally! Phuket has something to rival Pattaya's strain of Super Gonorrhea! Those two are so jealous of each other.
  21. Yep. It ain't going to be a Republican that goes around tagging walls.
  22. That's what I initially thought as well, but reading the article, a witness said he was having problems with his car and revving the engine for about 3-minute before he launched his car. Perhaps it's time for this gent to surrender his drivers license and go with public transport.
  23. Hmm, if brake fluid somehow finds its way onto the car body, it will strip the paint down to bare metal or plastic in as little as 10-minutes... That'd be terrible if it happened to these cars!
  24. I'm glad you don't run Singapore, because you'd turn it into another Thailand. The issue here is that someone tried to bribe 2 Singaporean law officers. It doesn't matter what initial contact was for. He could have gotten years.
