I suspect this sex offender is not here as a tourist. There is a high likelihood he is here on business of some sort. If so, he may be confident he can use his connections to escape justice. Either way, he will almost certainly reoffend given the nature and manner of his offence.

Okay, I had another look. I think I have found out. It is really [deliberately?] not sign-posted at all. It is Mobile Usage -> Detail -> Active Package(s) -> Then each package has lots of info but also a dustbin symbol. I assume by clicking the dustbin symbol, i.e. delete, it would bin the package and hopefully stop the auto-renew which is the goal. However as this cycle has 29 days to run, I will not click it now. I have made a note in my diary to end the package just before it renews.

Thanks for replying. Their app does not seem to have a way of cancelling the 200 Baht automatically-renewing package. (I suspect they deliberately make it tricky to cancel. 🤨) It looks like I will need to phone them.

I don't think he "lost" 372,000 Baht. It certainly sounds as if he got quite a lot of his money's worth. Not a scam. He started to tell her who she could talk to, what she could wear, etc. She recognised the symptoms of a classic controller and wisely headed for the exit. Good move, Fon.

Trump likes to instal individuals with a lot of dirt in their closet into these powerful positions. That way he can ensure he can blackmail and control them and they won't turn against him. His mentor (handler?), Vladmir, probably encouraged this behaviour.

I have this extra plan on my tourist Sim which takes a monthly fee of 200 Baht. It is not obvious how to cancel it. The plan gives me 30GB of internet at 15 MBps each month. How can I cancel it?

The editing of the video to conform to local norms is annoying.

Please re-read my post. I am talking about the reputation of Nakhon Sri Thammarat amongst other Thais. It is widely held that being a hitman is a career choice for people from that province. However, as you point out and as with most other stereotypes, it is probably highly exagerrated. I would point out though that the way you flew off the handle there was a bit surprising. You wouldn't live in Nakhon Sri Thammarat, would you? 😃

That should be a prison sentence. It won't.

It is extremely rare for an Asiatic black bear to attack a human. They are not "giant". The bear must have been starving, due to ill health or old age perhaps or the victim cornered it and threatened it.

?????????? 😮

Another story of psychotic rage from Nakhorn Sri Thammarat. Just ask any Thai from any of the other 76 provinces what they think of when that province is mentioned. I bet you it is psychopaths, murders and nought-to-one hundred rage with extreme violence.

I hope the dugong survive.

For those unfamiliar, Vang Vieng is a lot more backpacker-oriented than other destinations in Laos (and Thailand). Think something like Pai. There is a lot of competition to get the custom into specific bars and restaurants. This "free vodka shot" idea seems to have been very ill-conceived. It would be interesting to hear from anyone on the ground in Vang Vieng what the response from the government has been.

Using a scattergun approach?? Trying to wipe out every dog in the soi?? Or just randomly shooting anywhere?? 1000 Baht fine?? Good job the police have the interests of the law-abiding tax-paying community at heart. 🙁
