Court Accepts Charges Against BMW Driver in Crash Killing Mother and Two Children
The court accepts??? It is their duty to enforce the law and those who commit crimes like this should be get a severe punishment wit or without showing remorse....That is the whole problem in Thailand...no enforcement of laws and punishments....Judges should should be working for the people, instead for the brown envelopes

Thai tomboy assaulted by neighbour over loud noise in Pattaya - video
Thai people can't play sounds on normal level.. Everywhere you go there is much noise even when they speak with eachother they have to scream and parties and temples activities the music is so loud it can be heard km's far.. Today there is a kind of shadow show somewhere but we can hear it inside my house, and also in shopping malls, hostesses are screaming in the micro and nobody is listening and shopping at any Big C, Lotus's Tops or wherever seems like a club than a relaxing shop... So although I feel sorry for the tomboy in this case, but probably it was not the first time that she had too much noise,and it is known that loud noise is used sometimes as a torture.. No wonder that people act like this... it is the drop

Thailand Eases Long-Term Visa Conditions to Draw Wealthy Foreigners and Digital Nomads
Thailand must update their old laws so that foreigners can do volunteer jobs too.. and must be tax friendly, scrap the alcohol control laws, lower the alcohol and foreign food import taxes, and be friendly to foreigners.... That will do more good than easier visa conditions...Don't see a foreigner as an ATM, or a criminal, or someone who will destroy the Thai culture...because that is what is being done now..

Anutin Demands Severe Penalties for District Chief Corruption
This man is good for nothing.. He should do his own first properly as he refused to sign the Equal Marriage Bill which brought a lot of confusion all over the Amphurs in Thailand.. Besides that his mismanagement in the Covid crises and his anti foreigner policy and his own corruption with the elections, should be wise to keep his big mouth shut

Isaan hero steps in to rescue abused 7 year old boy living alone
The school and the neighbourhood should be ashamed.. They know what is happening and left the kid alone.. The school should have interfered as he did not come, and many other organizations failed, as we are used in Thailand...Nothing for the poor but everything for the rich.

Fears of Chinese New Year Tourist Drop Amid Human Trafficking Alarm
Not only the human trafficking is thread but also I think there nothing special anymore ... I was a few days in Bangkok and there were only restaurants as Japanese, Thai, Korean and Chinese and everywhere MK like style restaurants... Nothing else to find. Happily in the soi of our hotel there was El Gaucho an Argentinian restaurant a French restaurant and a Tapas bar... And the shops are all over the same, cosmetics, clothes, shoes and drugstores...So I was wondering what has Thailand to offer to tourists??? Shopping is very expensive eating is everywhere the same choices, and danger on roads and scams all over the country... No wonder people going to find other destinies.

300 same-sex couples to wed in Bangkok as new law takes effect
Mr Anutin is too budy with other things as he still refused to sign the law again. Except that it is a pity that th organization of the mass wedding did not announce what they are organazing. Simply a autograph will not attrack many couples, but with several activities it would be possible to get many people as they wanted.

DDPM Reports on Road Safety During 2024 New Year Festival Campaign
and many provinces will probably not give the correct numbers as they don't want to be a dangerous looking province... Anyway as long as there is no better driving education and no enforcement of traffic laws 24/7 365/365 it will be dangerous on the roads and become even more every year.. Read the narticle of the 13 year old one who died on a motorcycle. as an example, and make parents responsible for the lack of responsibility to keep the kids away from their motorcycles. Here in my soi another 4 grade kid is driving around on a motorcycle...
