tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Reader's cannot know the full story. There are always two sides to a story. If the whole thing was caught on CCTV then the outcome should be a simple affair. -

Unbelievable, or maybe not! -
Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries

Nothing less than DISGRACEFUL. The government must do more. Maybe appoint a minister whose job it is, solely, to improve the English proficiency throughout the land. Some think that their own language is the one that everyone should learn, not understanding that if a foreigner learns Thai, it will only hep in Thailand, but if a Thai learns English, it will help him all over the world. Wake up government, you were appointed to do a job! -
Fundraiser (begging) again. What about the family paying; or what about insurance beforehand. Many travelers fork out for insurance. Those who dont know the consequences.; or what about a funeral in Thailand!

With wines and champagne as expensive as it is in Thailand with 300% duty, Thailand attracts ONLY beer drinkers. -
Thai housemaid’s 100 million baht fortune hits a legal snag

A Thai company owned the properties. Period. Why, cannot a claim be made for the ownership of this company? -
Sole searching: Foreign man’s shoes stolen from Thai beach - video

Dogs wearing shoes? Oh my, what next? :) -
A long prison sentence, no less, for manslaughter is appropriate for the directors of this company. 1. As a punishment for their misdeeds and, 2. as a deterrent to others. It is understood that buses often get a "pass certificate" for a bribe to those issuing the certificate. These people also need to go to prison for the same, above reasons.

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They should get a bigger pension than if they had stayed in the UK. Older people cost the NHS a fortune, whereas there is no such cost once they move abroad, -
!00% agree that she should be jailed for manslaughter. For a long period. Not only for a warning to others but for the deed itself.

Elderly Australian Caught Stealing Vitamin C in Chonburi
tonypattaya replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
Three times caught stealing! I dont think so. Unless he has been medically diagnosed with Kleptomania. At 82 he should be setting a good example not one of taking things which belong to someone else. -

Thai doctor vows to create "Hitler Room" to gas hospital smokers

Same, like all these anti this or anti that lecturers, always taking their advice beyond the extremes, totally ignoring individual freedoms. -
Thailand Has Global Ambition to Become Tech Talent Hub by 2030
tonypattaya replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Dreaming! Thailand is so far behind advanced countries when it comes to tech. Most web-sites are so poor in their quality and functionality. I am talking about those of major companies, forget about the smaller ones. It might be helpful if more emphasis was put on Thai people learning good English, Thai teachers included. Thailand is behind its neighbours in Vietnam and Cambodia, in this respect. A ministry ought to be created specifically for this purpose. -
Hong Kong policeman’s fatal fall from baht bus sparks safety outcry
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The most likely cause was that the baht bus pulled away before the passenger took his seat. thereby jolting him backwards. The fact that the driver sped away when the public were shouting at him to stop is reprehensible and, for that alone, he should serve a long prison sentence. -

You are probably correct but its about freedom of choice! I drink alcohol, maybe because I am afraid to be myself. crutch. LOL 🙂 -
Russian man arrested with 300,000 baht in fake euros in Pattaya
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Trying to pass off forged currency, often in huge amounts, is a theft of the highest order. All thefts reverberate to the general public, who have to incur the costs of such. A long prison sentence is wholly deserved. -
British Couple Outraged Over £9 Tin of Heinz Beans in Thailand
tonypattaya replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A big part of any price is the cost of transportation. Naturally the heavier the item, the more the transportation. A durian fruit, which is heavy, here, say 500 baht, would cost 5.000 in London. The couple should not be outraged but should be more aware of simple economics. Always look for produce which is more locally. -
