a child under 13.... so above 13 it is ok??? I think the law should be changed in at least 17 and sexual molestation is never allowed no matter what age

the counry moving on???? since when???

She is an Olympic champion.... That means she was really the best of the world, as the whole world participate in the Games....

I see many scooters driving with 3 almost 90km a hour and they are looking backwarths to talk with eachother and no helmets....Speeding seems to be the norm here. Why not limit the speed of motorcycles to 50km ??? So easy to do

here in Thailand never millions of dollars are being paid.. Yes the fines for foreigners are much higher than for Thai people, but first of all look very clearly what happened. In my country you need to wear helmets, and have a driverslicense otherwise you are not insured and can't claim just to start with. In the video the motorcyce is at high speed and as we all know in Thailand nobody can slow down. Normally if they slowed down the impact was less severe...

The pictures don't show clear what happened. Only the story tells the motorcycle at high speed and the couple who wanted to make a u turn....

Accidents happens everywhere in the world, however because of a lack of education and law enforcement a lot of unneccessary accidents happen here in Thailand. 3 on a motorcycle is asking for trouble, and they don't pay attention at the traffic but are busy talking with eachother or playing cellphones. Sad for the parents, but when do people learn as it is daily news. The fact that a foreigner this time did it, should not make a difference.

The problem is not the pub the lack of enforcement of the law and the corruption ... so good that he is on an inactive post now.

That is maybe not a problem. The problem can be the THB that is getting more and more expensive and lower your income as we have seen in the last years

Every week/month we read about the recovery of tourism.... and nothing new only changing numbers from TAT which have no clue who are tourists and expats/businessmen/or Thai coming back from holiday etc.... every arrival is a tourist.. Luckily I am 2 times in the figures already

80.000 USD a year that is a lot of money in Thailand. How many Thais earn so much money? And what benefits are there compared with other visas and costs? The Government should investigate first before making all kind visas which are hardly being used.

Comments like this says more about your norms and values than mine..

If kids in kindergarten make copulation movement because they don't see anything else, and also primary class kids, and than you are wondering about the hugh number of rapes and incest in Thailand, I think it is disgusting...And yes I am very liberal, certainly not Victorian, as most people here Thailand pretent to be by blurring a lot that don't need to be blurred. Norms and values

I try to be aware of suddenly unexpected moves by all users on the roads all the time.. They never watch for other traffic but just do something...

THailand and visas... and visas and regulations, more and more ... and money always money....but no investigation of whta foreigners wants or need to make it simple for retire or long stay in Thailand, 90 days, adress confirmations, annual renewals, proof of adresses etc etc...

I see a lot of other vans than you describe in my place....

With respect for the last wishes of the deseased, but coyote dancing on a funeral??? For me coyote dancing belongs to the bars in Pattaya and other places, but not on a funeral or once when a monk was ordinated. If Thailand want to get rid of the name that it is known for its sex industry they should stop and ban coyote dancing. I see it even in schools where young kids make copulation movements and as teachers and students love it...But for me I find it disgusting and proof of bad taste, although I am very liberal

Never seen a school van ???

My comment you don't like but yours is also so so.. you don't know..... so why comment on me?

So It means that if you get an accident you can't open the doors from inside?? My car can open from inside at the drivers and passengers seat and probably also if you have a van from the inside too, but I don't have a van and you climb forward.to the drivers seat.. Kids at 7 are not stupid. And I went out many times with groups and never , never we lost someone or things. I always checked everything in the car in the rooms, if they have everything and left nothing behind, but ok I am responsible and not Thai

I don't believe they forgot the kid.. She was old enough to try to get out the car by opening a door or a window. besides what happened with her friends she is travelling with every day. They don't tell to come out ???

I like it. you are right, but an utopia in Thailand

still in power so no chit chat, but a meeting.

They can ban it it, but it will work the same as wearing a helmet... no enforcement so everybody continue using heir phones

Don't understand how this can happen.. Why not checked if everybody left the van and even check for things kids have forgotten.. Why not call the parents if the student is not in the class or school without notice.. RIP to kid..
