So the public are advised to wear masks. In my neck of the woods, the majority of Thais NEVER stopped wearing them. Most kids on motorbikes wear them, but sadly not helmets!

The use of or threatened use of a deadly weapon warrants a death sentence regardless of the outcome

Tombuys in Thailand still look very feminine. Unlike Tomboys in the west, that's another story lol
Not with short hair and no tits, they don't.. There's a couple where I live, both with beautiful girlfriends.. What a waste!

So many Thai girls like to change their given names. I am surprised Mr Pissit hasn't

Some years ago, my dual nationaity daughter spent a night in a well know Pattaya hospital following a minor motorbike accident. No surgery, no x rays, just overnight monitoring. When I received the ridiculously high bill the following morning, i took it up with the hospital management. Same story farang price! When I produced her ID card , the bill was cut down to 30% of the original price

A British subject, regardless of his income should be permitted to bring a spouse or long term foreign partner to the UK, on a settlement visa. No need EVER to give citizenship to anyone! Keep them on their toes. Break the law, one strike and bye bye! Refugees, migrants and others with no ties to the UK, but having skills etc to work in the Uk should be admitted..BUT ALONE. No family
What about British subjects who live and worked overseas and have foreign wives, and are now retired living on the UK frozen pension and maybe an occupational pension? They in the main will be nowhere near the new limits, yet may wish to spend their last years in their native country with their foreign wife.
Do we all have to save up and buy a dinghy and cross the Channel, to ensure we may stay?
SHAME on the UK!

Very sad state of affairs when Thailand's 2 English langiage newspapers make no mention of this horrific accident 10 hours after Asean Now report it. Just look at the crap on their web pages that is more important than 14 human probably Thai lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the op's name he most likely lives in Korat.
The meds he is seeking are for blood pressure and blood thinning
I take clopidogrel. After a visit to the heart hospital in Khon Kaen, I was given PLATOGRIX 75MG. This is, according to the box, manufactured in France . Whether or not it does what it is supposed to do I do not know, It is however far far cheaper than the clopidogrel I was first given by Bangkok Hospital

Noone seems to have mentioned that the people who get the 600+ baht old-age payment are mostly people who have spent their lives NOT in the formal economy - piece workers, part-timers of all kinds, and of course millions of peasants in rural villages.
And they have their own 'informal' arrangements out in the villages eg My PILs (just a little older than me) have paid a few baht monthly for many years in to the village 'life insurance' (my term) fund. When they die, their 2 youngest sons (including my partner) will receive some 200,000 baht out of the village fund. (That is, if it hasn't already been stolen by the village Head Person.)
In my rural village it is the same. Money paid out from a village fund when someone dies, as long as someone has been paying the dues. Rather than a specific payment each month, payments are made and collected, each time an insured member dies..

I had a few 1 year renewals initially, so that my Alien Reg book filled up quickly. Police have no idea where to obtain a new book from. For the past 15 years I have each 5 yrar renewal attached a piece of paper inside the book for the photo and signature etc to be placed.. Never a problem

Perhaps the driver who swerved into an inner lane, should have been there all the time.. In many recent trips in Isaan, I would estimate that at least 50% of all motorists continually stay in the outer lane of dual carriageways, causing many motorists to "undertake", with many of those that do so, immediately themselves returning to the outside lane, even when the road ahead is totally clear!
Thais will rarely, if ever, obey rules, and it necessary to force them to do so, with large fines and vehicle confiscation. That of course needs the police to be present and do their job properly. Sadly it will never happen, and the Thai road carnage will continue ad infinitum!

Many many years ago I asked my neighbour to cut his overhanging bamboo. He duly came into my garden, cut numerous bamboo poles, stripped them all of leaves and minor branches then left with the poles. Refused to clean up the mess. That night I threw all the leaves and everything else over the fence into his garden. He has not spoken to me ever since!!!!!!!!!
Some weeks later he cut down all his bamboo!

Thais with bank deposits of more than 500,000baht will not receive the payment.
I can see a lot of withdrawals before the cut off date, with cash being kept "under the bed"

The police, when they act, can only do what the law allows and ridiculous suggestions that over a month's salary for some Thais could be imposed along with the theft of the bike is bizarre. Why not suggest B20,000 fines and confiscation for a year or two?
Nobody, absolutely nobody, need EVER pay a fine or lose the use of their vehicle IF they simply obey the rules. The big fine and confiscation is there just as a threat and needs to be used against the total idiots!

How does that work when there are no statutes that permit impounding?
Pass a few simple laws and enforce them

Logic All you got to do is enforce!
But seriously, not 100/200bt fine.
Have a 1 month advertising blitz, then fine everyone not wearing a helmet 10,000bt (whether 1,2 3 or 4 on the bike) AND confiscate the bike for minimum 1 month. Turbans not accepted. A helmet or walk!

And they wonder why the Thai Police are tryiong to crack down on the Thai Trans people - the ones that 'work' in the 'entertainment' industry are criminally violent mentally deranged people. Never ever get involved in anything they do to themselves. If they are attacking an Expat women, and if you are young and strong and only if you can fight, then by all means maybe get in there - but not if you are one of us old blokes - those Trans are men and most of them can all fight (Mua Thai style).
Well said those Trans are men !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All trans are men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

German accused faces criminal charges at home over under-age liaison with a 17-year-old Pattaya bar girl
in Pattaya News
Posted
A Thai will generally state he/she is 1 year older than actual. For example on attaining the age of 17. he /she is in the 18th year, and will say they are 18 years of age.
The guy was in a foreign country, in Sin City on holiday, where there are thousands of prostitutes plying their wares. No doubt this particular lass was trying seduce him as no doubt many of the other girls were. They only care about money. The older the customer the more likely she would not have to work so hard! If she was working in a bar, and the guy duly paid the bar fine, then the bar/bar staff/bar management are the sole guilty parties!
