According its enlightened policy of never doing anything to assist British citizens under any circumstances, the British Embassy would have let him serve his 100 days in Phatum Thani jail in lieu of paying the overstay fine followed by transfer to Immigration's medieval standing room only jail in Soi Suan Plu, until he could raise the fare home, i.e. until he died which would probably not be long in there. Sounds like Uncle Sam might stump up for his fine and repatriation. Lucky for him he's a yank.
The US Gov't will buy THE MOST EXPENSIVE (yes, they actually highlight that fact) airfare back to the US they can find, then it will be like a student loan or child support debt. It will never, ever go away until it is paid off or he dies.

And some people b!tch at farangs for going to government offices dressed inappropriately.
Couldn't she have picked something a bit less "lookit me ima ho" to wear?
My first thought when I saw her picture was "Meth-Head/Crack Ho"

Probably so.
Anyway, in the US 102 traffic deaths per day.
Thailand 61 per day.
Tragic.
The US has roughly 5 times Thailand's population though, so until the US hits 300 or so road deaths per day, then it's way behind Thailand in per capita road deaths.

That fish cannot be Thai. It fights alone instead of in packs.
They should make the piranha the national fish.

Sounds like the cops' job in the future will have them doing exactly what they do now, which is NOTHING.

The six officers, including a commander and his deputies, will also face an investigation as to whether they failed in their duties that led to the 3am escape yesterday.
I'd imagine the officers looked like this guy at 3:00 AM.

How about his passport photo recognition when he came back to thailand?
That's what I thought "Let Me In, Thailand" meant.
BTW, it's a Thai version, of a Korean show, yet the photo shows the title...in English!

I recall back in 1999 on my first visit, an older US gent that was associated with my company had me over for dinner & drinks. He'd been in Thailand 20+ years by then.
He lived in an area WAAAY off Phonyothin, somewhat near the Ari BTS = no taxis around.
I mentioned maybe he wouldn't mind getting me back to my hotel before we got too far down the Jack Daniels bottle were working on.
He said "Pfff! Over here, it HELPS to drink and drive!"
His wife got me home.

errrr... she doesn't look remotely Asian let alone Thai
I beg to differ. Also, she's certainly better looking than what many in the press like to call a Thai "Pretty".

Looks like a druggie to me - either that or spent all his money on hookers and no money for food !
Spent all his money on hookers and booze! The rest he just wasted.

Thailand police actively proactively address these behaviors and prosecute offenders only then will there be an improvement on Thailand's roads, but it is hard work and costs money
No hab budget.

Memorandum of understanding means both parties gain something from a transaction or exchange. What could Japan possibly learn from Thailand road safety!
Errr...How to NOT do things?

Painting roads red indeed! That one takes the cake! They're already red with blood.
Also would help if their speed limit signs were 10 times bigger than an apple pie pan, and not hidden behind the ubiquitous mango tree....And enforced fairly.
I got pulled over near Khorat once...Just an ID/driver's license check.
Of course the Kamikaze cop walked out in front of me. He checked my licence and said "Khap khun kap".
My wife was aghast he didn't clip me for 200 baht, even though I'd done nothing wrong. She said, "He's a nice policeman".
She'd never seen an honest cop before.

Great thing they have such stringent gun laws in Thailand.
Glad the lady got away.

Aren't Thais promoting soapy massages this month? The fleet is just in time.
The sweaty, obnoxious boys are due for a break. Same as the US Navy or any of the rest of us...they're just younger mo' and han'sum than me :=(

The few Ruskie's I've spoken with are decent enough folks.
Some are butt-wipes, but one can say that about any nationality.
At least they don't need a tour guide with a flag and a bus to take them from point A to Point B.

What surprises me is that the motorcycle stopped (err, slowed down) to look before turning.

When the Americans were drawing up their amendment to the constitution, that allowed people to bear arms, I wonder if they ever thought for one second about how much blood would be on their hands. It is a tragedy that such incidents are becoming so common, and yet they country can't seem to wake up to the fact it has a problem.
Gun control should be right up there at the top of the list of priorities and to hell with the NRA.
Yet it was ARMED civilian that shot the guy.

Cigarette filters contain various toxins, nicotine and other dangerous substances, which are harmful to marine life, people and the environment.
Plastic bottles, condoms, needles and bags etc pose no threat whatsoever though.

The fourteen years I have lived/ worked here, Pattaya Beach has always been “substandard” compared to other holiday resort beaches. It does not take a rocket scientist to know what is missing... it is called MAINTENANCE BUDGETING for the projects you implement. ( A bunch of clueless rookies manage this cash-cow tourist town.)
Hardly amateurs. More like professional crooks that skim public money.
"It was a misunderstanding".
"We'll appoint a committee".
Has everybody who quit in the last year still off them??

Thanks! Been smoking 33 years. Time to quit.
Doing OK so far. Started about 3 weeks ago & slowly cut back from two packs a day to one pack, to half a pack, to cutting a Swisher Sweet cigar into one inch pieces & just sticking them in my mouth till they get wet (and I get a bit of nicotine out of them).
Had some nicotine lozenges for the longest time, but could never use them, til today. I had 3 of them today. I only sucked on a cigar plug once today.
I'm off to read that book now.
Thanks again for the link!
