The bikey murderer was living in Thailand on a retirement visa. Logic suggests that others will be doing the same. Those on the same visa class will now face the possibility of the criteria to obtain these visas and extensions being tightened. It would only be a matter of time before that happened anyway, as more and more foreigners use this visa class to stay here. My guess is that financial obligations will increase, and agents providing the banking services will be targetted. Let's wait and see.

No MFP and senators.

Ah, sex-tourists, the backbone of any developing tourism economy.

A lot of people cannot pay back their car loans. During COVID the lenders were prevented from repossessing defaulted assets by govt. policy. Interest to see what happens now that debts need to be paid while interest rates are increasing, in line with dramatic increases in living costs, most notably electric. Something will have to give.

By that rationale, every Thai politician before and since is also a coward.

Have to remember that they are ethnic Malay and the majority down there. ????

There's some info about them on the other thread where authorities found another tonne of explosives in another warehouse belonging to the same owner. He has been arrested and being charged. The other point that was raised here and clarified on the other thread is that there was no insurance to cover all the damage, sorry, devastation, caused.

Prawit and the convicted heroin smuggler still get a seat at the table. Got to keep everyone earning, to H*ll with what the voters want or what is best for the country.

That will not achieve anything, as soon as they pass the test they will drive how they want without fear of punishment.

They will first need to sort out their system of education, then driver competency and assessments, and finally find a Police force that actually knows and enforces the existing laws. It will never happen in our lifetimes.

This reminds me of the fable of the frog and the scorpion. A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature.” Remember, it is in their nature.

Which is which? They are all the same here.

Reminds me of the Thai NDT company that keeps radioactive sources in their office in a Bangkok Housing estate. What could possibly go wrong?

No sh** Sherlock.

Typical.

For context, and for those that don't know, he is the son of Kamnan Po, the famous 'Godfather of Chonburi'.

Really? I have taken many Bolts and would never describe their driving as 'superb'.

Yep. Next time he will end up killing someone. Children.

Drove to BKK and back yesterday on the 7. Traffic was heavy due to the holiday. Saw the usual number of nutters driving dangerously and weaving in and out of traffic and driving pick-ups and SUV derivatives as sports cars. Some very unstable people out there.

Then the same should apply to the military officers that were in charge during the various coups, the Tak Bai massacre, at the Rajaprasong massacre of civilians etc.

IIRC that was sanctioned by a higher authority than Thaksin.

Complete hyperbolic nonsense. You've never heard of Thanom, Colonel Narong, General Praphas Charusathien, Suchinda or Sunthorn Kongsompong then? Not to mention Thailand was a fascist state under Phibun from 1939 until the end of the war, and no, not because of the Japanese invasion.

Seems to be a problem at all levels here. ????

You can see what type of person he is from his face. A money worshipping devil.

Contractors stealing the cement and diluting the mix down too much again? Tsk tsk.
