Where smoking is still popular

What a load of dung.

Less than 12% of Americans smoke tobacco, it is very unpopular.  

Weed on the other hand...

And why wouldn't Japan, or Turkey be up there?  They still have smokers in the 30% range.

After all it was a just a minor slip up.  You didn't wear the mask.

I think the mask was supplying vital oxygen and you've only increased your brain damage as a result.

Wait.

Did the dead Russian file a complaint against the Brit for murdering him?

With those Brits assaulted by those Thai bouncers, didn't the police say they needed for the Brits to file charges before they could proceed against the 3 bouncers?

I am confused.

Isn't Pattaya is a family-friendly resort area now?

That's what the mayor said!

At 72, it isn't worth intrusive medical procedures because the operation or recovery may be worse than your ailment.  For lower back, you may have lumbar or sacroiliac joint deterioration which exercise will not help.   

If you want to continue exercising, choose less stressful methods which reduce the effects of gravity such as swimming, or even underwater walking.  Perhaps an exercycle if that doesn't hurt.

FINALLY!  Brits have making the news.

Thailand is back to normal!

Dudes,

The family probably wants the body repatriated because they want an autopsy performed in the UK.

Perhaps they suspect shenanigans which resulted in his demise.  

Way too many countries automatically cremate tourist bodies specifically to destroy evidence of unnatural deaths.

Not that I think this was the case, but I'm not a grieving family member.

I have no problems with GFM, if I don't want to contribute, I don't.

Krittapon announced that officers had planned a crackdown, intending to visit each residence of the teenage members for questioning and to arrest those found guilty. In addition to these proactive operations, officers would also implement a 10pm curfew starting from May 3 onwards.

I am just so glad that the police are planning a crackdown, or as a former boss of mine would say: "We are planning to make a plan!"

It must be so difficult for police to visit and arrest suspects at their homes!

Supposedly, and I am no expert with weed, indica strains create more calming effects, such as may be needed to help sleep or relieve pain, etc.  Sativa supposedly increases physical and brain activity helping with creativity while not causing the sleepiness of indica.

If your going to

ban it then it must be a 100% ban that means closing down all the farms and industry cultivating the plant and if not Who is going to police it 

Oh you silly goose!

Of course the police will police it!

Just like how they police against prostitution, gambling, yaba trafficking, and every slight whiff of corruption in the LoS!

Suicide.  Especially since he was homeless and mentally ill (from reports).

Not every Russian's demise is at the hands of organized crime...and if Russian mobsters did kill someone, they'd do it in a spectacular manner to warn others.

Hm,...what about all those Russian Oligarchs that bought multi-million £ mansion in London ??? did they had to prove there fortune came from legit incomes !?!?

Unfortunately, Oligarchs do have provable sources of wealth & income as they pretty-much own every business, industry, and commodity in Russia.  

The UK laws go after individuals, wives and their children who had no legitimate means of earning that kind of money based-on public service salaries in Third World countries.

Game then went for a cigarette. He alleges hearing a gunshot after which the pair emerged carrying several black plastic bags.

Now I don't smoke, nor have I ever committed murder before dismembering, and then bagging-up an entire human body, but I have to think it'd certainly take longer than the time needed to smoke one cigarette.

Rather than a telescoping baton, which is not legal, try a wooden or rattan cane. 

You can carry that everywhere, and can even learn some Martial Arts forms for them.

If you don't want a cane, a strong umbrella, either full or telescoping will work.

This guy sells them out of Poland.  I can attest that the collapsible one works.

So nobody else noticed the Brit is sporting a purse?

 

Thailand has always placated stronger warlike and aggressive countries, it's how Siam has always survived without being colonized.

This is just a modern version I would suspect.

But the Thais also had the habit of turning on anyone if they showed weakness.  I suspect this happening too, if given the opportunity.

Now if we could only figure-out a way to promote China as a tourist destination to the Russians, and Russia as a tourist destination to Communist China...
