Nothing to suggest the sister did not act in self defense!!........let's not speculate/interpret

You must be new here. You should know by now that that's what members do here. They speculate and interpret, usually between beers.

Usually after many beers.

If not for beer, I'd never post here. What sane person would?

How can one be half naked? It's like being half pregnantDo

Don't be a halfwit.

I shall endeavor to persevere to be a Full-Wit..... It's in the water in Thailand. Not too difficult to do.

Come on chaps! A lass untouched by anyone and with a few quid too.....a TV member's dream. The complete reverse of the ongoing 'Harold and the Porn Star'.

The 'my missus was a respectable lass, different from the others'' gang (when we all know different) could actually back up their claims here with a 40 foot billboard......

You reckon she is Thai Chinese as well ?....TV members should be frothing at the bit to reach her door as they will have "made it" in Thailand and finally acquired some class, and they they could truly say "mines different"...

I suspect many on here have lasses who know a thing or two about backs involving more than 40....

I say no thanks to the pasty Chinese girls.

Give me a dusky Issan redneck girl any day.

How can one be half naked? It's like being half pregnant.

Jesus wept.

Now I know why.

truly sm wierdos on here, making jokes about a murder and all the heartache that goes with that for all involved, only on tvf , instead of only in thailand, sick people.

Some guy was apparently killed by his sister.

What do you want us to do? Commit Hari Kari every time we hear about a death?

"racy nightlife"?... Bars forced to close at 12pm, no alcohol if it's a birthday or Buddha day, police storming bars to check that tourists have passports on them, being forced to pee in a cup in the street, bars/clubs with the most disgusting toilets, hussled by skanks "where you come from handsome man", ladyboys mugging tourists, bouncers killing tourists...... pretty racy stuff... High end tourists will love it

I once rolled in from 8 months in Sandland & COULD NOT WAIT to get sleezy.

I grabbed 20,000 baht from an ATM and blew it in an afternoon....ON PURPOSE.

Had me a good old time!

Miami has cleaner beaches, but they don't have soapies nor Lolita's nor Nana nor Cowboy.

Such a conservative and hypocritical society. How about girls who work in bars and such places all over Thailand? You could make a long list of places where pretties dress proactively.

The difference is that those are private establishments and children are, in theory, not allowed entry. The Motor Show is a public event and children attend it.

Personally, I go to see the cars and don't want pretties in the way when I'm taking photos (of the cars), thank you.

Agreed. The "pretties" there are usually made of silicone & 18 layers makeup at those shows.

FAR, FAR, better natural "pretties" all over Thailand.

is this man a frustrated comedian?, some police died in deep south, the well connected killing the innocent on the road without fear of justice.

he makes trump look like a great leader.

Frustrated comedian.......

He's actually a pretty damned GOOD comedian!

Even Thaksin isn't this stupid.

Can you imagine POTUS or the British PM meddling in something as miniscule as this?

Yeah it was in bad taste, should have happened at G-Spot in Nana plaza replete with nudity, goldfish, ping-pong balls and bananas, but for the PM to be worried about this just shows how much of an imbecile he is.

If she had shot him there'd be 5 pages about how bad guns are by now.

RIP to the guy.

Trying to use this to score points for gun ownership? Really?

Have a word with yourself.

We really should get all these knives off the street.

Though this seems to be a place for backpackers, read the reviews here about sewage. Thousands of people read these reviews.

Have you noticed the number of vintage websites most hotels and restaurants have?

It kills me when I see the 1995 "Enter Our Website" splash page.

It's very simple. Why you NO UNDERSTAND.

Q: Government computers are unsecured in Thailand.

A: Nobody would find the link, that's why they are unsecured.

Q: There is corruption on the islands.

A: There is no corruption on the islands, otherwise we would have known about it.

Q: Thailand has seen a drop of 78% in overall foreign investment in 2015.

A: It's a temporary effect derived from the new policies of BOI to attract quality companies in 2015.

Q: Country is unstable since 2014. Could it be because...you know what?

A: Nonsense, the current administration has saved Thailand from chaos, it's the foreigners that have been gradually destabilizing the country by overstaying.

It's also those bridge players in Pattaya and the kids drinking cough syrup.

My buddies used to try & book their hotels via email & invariably got the confirmation back (IF they got an answer at all), then invariably got the "Solly Sir Fully Booked" when they tried to check in.

They'd ask me to go look the lady in eye and make her show me on paper their booking, and get a copy of it, scan it and email it to them.

One of my favorites is when they bring out the appetizer after you've finished the main course in the restaurants.

If she had shot him there'd be 5 pages about how bad guns are by now.

RIP to the guy.

I hope this does not not sound too elitist, but being a upper middle class American from West Los Angeles and Hollywood coming to Thailand, the very first thing I noticed was all the super low class tourists.

It was really a eye opener. Its all good and a big adventure for me every day being a single guy who is bored with the Nanny States of America. I find the total lack of political correctness to be incredibly refreshing.

But there is NO WAY my MARRIED friends in the USA would find anything in Thailand interesting other to see how the other half lives and to gain a new appreciation for the Caribbean, Aspen, Sun Valley, Malibu, the Florida Keys, the South of France and the Amalfi coast. And you don't really need big money to hang out in these places on vacation.

And even the five star hotels in Thailand are lacking by USA/EU standards, but of course the hotels are much cheaper.

And all my rich friends here in Hua Hin from places like Switzerland are old guys partying with their Thai girlfriends for six months and then its back to Zurich to make sure the Ferrari battery is not dead.

Yeah I never noticed the number of true LOUTS in Pattaya when I moved there from a year in BKK back in 2002.

I was always flying in & out a lot, working in BKK and Sattahip and had some down time, that I spent with my wife in our swimming pool.

I left & took the wife w/ me in 2004 for work, came back in late 2009 with a pocket full of money & decided to be a bum for a while on the darkside of Pattaya.

It didn't take long before I realized I was living amongst the dregs of society.

The main reason I liked Pattaya back in the early 2000's was because of Koh Larn, which was pretty much deserted and unspoiled. Nowadays they have 100 overloaded ferries a day plying the waters back and forth.

Glad I got to experience some of what it used to be like.

I have a house in Surin. When I get there I'm bored to tears. When I'm away for a while I can't wait to get back.

I love Thailand, but many changes are happening.

As for Chinese tourists not going into bars, I stepped away from my chair at Peppermint on Walking Street once for 30 seconds and a wave of Chinese came in, one of which promptly took my seat. Barbarians, and they call farangs Quai Loh (foreign devils).

If I want high end or even medium end with clean beaches, safe drinking water and sane drivers I'll go to Hawaii or Florida. I probably won't even see any litter much less have to smell it or see rats teeming in it.

Thailand is for the low end traveler or for the sex tourist. Yes Thailand is cheap if compared to true high end places in Western countries, but it isn't cheap for what it is. It surely isn't safe, either.

The only other attraction which is significant is the change in culture - doing and being somewhere different with different things to see and different food. That part I like.

Cheers.

Blah blah blah, any opportunity to tell us how bad Thailand is and how great the West is, the rhetoric is stale and way past its sell date.

He's not saying the West is perfect, but he's spot on with regards to the quality of the beaches here. I'm guessing you've never been to Florida or Hawaii? My friend keeps sending me pics like this from Florida. I'm jealous. Can't even swim in the water here....

Yep that's Florida. 105 million tourists in 2015 and very little garbage anywhere.

Did he blast his brother, the Almighty PM?

"She added that she was too embarrassed to drive the car anywhere"

Well, it's all over the web now. Be embarrassed no more.

Reminds me of the late great John Candy when he invaded Canada in his very discrete garbage truck in the movie "Canadian Bacon".

And what action is being taken against the crook who drove the taxi?

Probably set to receive a commendation from the RTP, and, possibly, a high-ranking position...

He probably got a reward from the RTP for 'Being Honest When Caught'.

He should have been fined 18,000 baht & banned for life from the taxi ranks.

He most assuredly should not even be allowed to keep even the 600 baht fare.

The headline should read -

Reward Cash Bonus offered to cops for arrest of man wanted for robbing ATM in Chonburi

Anything other than "I was driving like an <deleted>" is the best excuse. I'm surprised he didn't blame the brakes failing and do a runner.

Brakes didn't fail this time but his amulets apparently did.

Everything you do in Thailand requires copy of passport, home address etc, so whats the panic about???

HMMMM.......Big mafia boss looks at say, offshore oil workers, who unlike many retirees is still drawing a decent salary & sends his minions out on a robbing spree to those addresses?

What could go wrong?

"Pornsak was breathalysed as investigations into the accident continue."

Obviously Pornsak is not a Person of Influence.

maybe they should print a small message on the tourist arrival card that for their own protection tourists should not wear valuables such as gold necklaces or if they insist on doing so be highly vigilant of snatchers

Maybe they should have a police for that actually gives a damn.
