Mr Meeseeks

Thai people are not known for going down to the coconut bar looking for brass.

They are totally incapable of dealing with this issue.

The real punishment comes later when whomever paid for the drugs wants their money back plus profit.

Pure propaganda. The article is nauseating. Shame on those who wrote it, translated it and reposted it on here. Disgusting. 🤢

Small men with big egos just cannot help themselves.

Oil and gas safety and emergency training for offshore workers Worldwide is quality assured by OPITO, which is now a global body and largely helps circumvent Thai incompetence, malfeasance, and corruption. The Thais have their own standards, but they are only accepted locally and are long out of date. I was reliably informed that recently, one of the OPITO providers in Songkhla had their approvals removed, due to safety issues.

As they would not be remaining in Singapore their luggage would likely be transferred directly from aircraft to aircraft and not scanned. Different story if they had to go airside. Still a gamble though, and not one worth taking imo.

I think it is far more likely that these reprobates are flotsam and jetsam washed up on Thai shores and looking for a way to stay permanently.

I fail to see the correlation between visa free entry and working illegally and/or owning illegal businesses... Am I missing something?

Could possibly have been prevented with a proper training and competency scheme being implemented before licensing.

Indeed.

Typical Thai response. Double down and never take any responsibility whatsoever. Also, why is the convicted Chinese gangster making statements apparently on behalf of the Thai government?

It was a couple of Scottish singing Flower of Scotland. The video is all over X. Absolutely a storm in a teacup.

Jakarta, Bali, and KL above Hamad in Doha? Not a chance in a million years. The Al Mourjan Garden lounge was voted the best business class lounge in the World in 2024 by Skytrax. I prefer CX Gold in Hong Kong myself but the lounges in Doha are spectacular.

All paid for on the never-never. Nobody walks in and pays cash for a car here and I mean nobody.
