The penalties for this are just not severe enough to stop it happening. A crazy suggestion to make those involved think twice....Immediate remand for the nominee and the foreigner until all monies earned from the business by both parties are forfeited, this secures their release and then the normal process takes over.

Used shoes in a tropical climate, no thanks.

Sounds like she found a method of murder that went undetected initially and went to town with it for approaching a decade, if the charges are accurate of course. Defense lawyers are paid to pick holes in the prosecutions case and did their jobs here. Luckily for the prosecution, she didn't walk free after being acquitted on a technicality.

After the near daily stories of ladyboys getting violent, i would be interested to know if the tourists involved were intending to engage with ladyboys or if they were intending to engage with ladies and refused to pay when they discovered additional bits. I am in no way judging peoples preferences or ladyboys, if it makes you happy, go for it. I know some ladyboys are stunning and unless directly asked, mistakes can happen.

I am not medically trained but i'd have thought that broken ribs and a punctured lung would have been quite apparent and extremely painful for the patient. I've broken a rib and was in agony, there was no alcohol in my system to dull the pain though. I guess the police were acting on information provided by the first responders. Sad story.

Same situation, got bumped the 3rd. There 'were' flights available on the 5th when i purchased mine via china for £390 but a 30 hour journey, i bet even the horrible routes are now a £1,000 plus. Not a nice end to peoples holidays.

Hard to imagine how a page gets torn out unnoticed, but to give him the benefit of doubt, i guess a child could have got hold of his passport. Personally, don't inspect my passport before traveling. I should probably start doing so after reading this.

Imagine, thinking help had finally arrived only to be handcuffed and thrown in the back of a pickup. I hope he recovers without long term damage.

Hopefully,the lack of oxygen for such a long period and being revived doesn't leave her with long term damage.

One of the countries i would personally never visit. Dangerous enough before the recent events there.

Article mentions a fire broke out at the storage facility before the explosions occurred.

I would have thought a competent crash investigator would be able to determine the position of both vehicles at the moment of impact.

Reading this has got me thinking, i only ever bring whatever cash is left over from my last 90 day visit. Is the 20,000 cash just for Visa Exempt or is that also a requirement for a 60 day SETV ? It would be devastating to be refused entry over 20,000 cash when there is 100's of thousand Baht in my Bangkok Bank account.

The curse of overloaded pickup trucks strikes again. A sad story, RIP.

A nice article but i will say, casual visitors only see part of the picture. I wonder what the videos would be like if it was expats making them 🙂
