Dont confuse me

At 71 I've got an upper plate with 6 teeth. Had it for over a year, 1st was metal absolutely horrific couldn't get on with it. I've now discovered flexident very comfortable but again took some getting use to. Implants were looked at but they said I would need a bone graft ...that was end of conversation not interested maybe 30 yrs ago but not now.

Seriously what we're the chances of keeping a stash like that 'quiet' in a village?

So your in debt the only way out is to kill yourself and all your immediate family? I can understand why one might contemplate suicide but I don't get taking the misses and kid with you? Am I missing a cultural thing here?

Apart from all the plastic floating around, there's one thing that a first time tourist initially notices, but for some reason it's quickly accepted and no further notice taken! That is the miles and miles of wiring/cable running uncovered between wooden or concrete poles sometimes at a safe height but occasionally at head hight and on a bad day actually on the floor. I know it's never going to be done, just imagine the positive look j;;;;;;,

Whilst on the face of it I concur that a deal has been made, if I were him I still wouldn't be 100% sure it's going to go as planned. He's dealing with some of the most corrupt greedy people on the planet and at times must be thinking, "what if these bastards, have me over, take my money and I suddenly die!" Because that thought would cross my mind.

He's 74, 8 years inside takes him to 82,! Are the public expected to believe that there has been no deals made? I see a quick royal pardon a few envelopes being passed around and the man left to enjoy his last years.

Sounds like divorcing the wife wasn't a good move, I wonder if he was supporting the kids? I'm sure if he was splashing some baht in their direction immigration wouldn't have even known about him let alone find him.

Ivory isn't gonna be cheap ...the compensation is going to hurt! Quite rightly so I might add.

Regardless of what lead up yo the incident he got off lightly in Europe he would probably been zapped in the USA, you would have heard, "stop resisting stop resisting" as the three of them jumped on him followed by, "I can't breath "

Bangkok is more affordable than other cities in the top 20 even taking into account its 300% tax on luxury items, and is well-known for its colourful street life, where you can stumble over the uneven pavements/sidewalks, waiting in anticipation for a change in wind to give you a face full of choking fried chillies or having your hip broken by a motorbike tax using the footway to avoid the choking traffic fumes. Food and cultural wonders, like sticky rice such and the Grand Palace and Wat Arun. The city has something for everyone, from high end shopping malls to low-cost street markets selling crap chinese imported items that breach copyright laws. Its bustling nightlife and street food are famous around the world one of thebfew places where you can receive oral sex whilst drinking some snake blood, and the city serves as a gateway to other parts of Thailand, such as the islands famous for its murders! Yes Bangkok has something for everyone.

Another high end tourist that felt at home here! When will countries recognise that Nigerians are born to steal they actually have schools in Nigeria that teach (for a price) the way banks function and how to defraud them. Scum of the earth.

I wouldn't be worrying about wiring underground, I'd be more concerned about BKK being under water in 10 yrs time.

Bet that cost a few baht.

I honestly don't see how someone can force an aircraft to stop? You can request it but I don't see that working either. Best you could expect is for the cabin staff to ask airport staff to locate bag and forward it! However if the owner kept banging on about how much is in the bag he may get just the bag.

International fruit selling syndicate smashed! Poor woman!

I've lived in Portugal, Spain, USA and Thailand therefore I'm unable to give an opinion on the other countries. But I can say that for me and my Thai wife and 15 yr daughter we prefer Spain. There is a large Thai community and I don't know one of them who wants to return to Thailand other than a holiday. I suggest this gives a clearer picture of Thailands ranking.

"the identity of the individual or his motivation for masturbating is unknown" I would suggest that the motivation is that he felt the need to 'knock one out'! And God bless him that's exactly what he did!

Olaf will probably be on his way to the boarder. Don't think it will be difficult to scoop him up.

Unfortunately a lot do what they want, relying on the urban myth that because of the alleged corruption of the police you can buy your way out of anything.

Sad state of affairs, I would love to know the reason (which the insurance company surely must have provided) why they are refusing to assist. If possible the name of the insurance company.

IQ of a buffalo and the will power of a gnat, combined with a healthy dose of meth and a puff of weed has the potential to allow voices to enter that dormant space between ears and MAKE the poor fellow do something that he will regret for some years to come.

Thai police always good for a laugh ????

Yeah dreaming about his insurance cover!

Yeah, good idea, come back stir up trouble then piss off again....do everyone a favour and keep your greedy nose out. Give Thailand a chance of getting their house back in to some sort of order.

"The eligibility for commissioned officers will have to be transparent." it will be as transparent as their bank accounts!
