King Bhumibol Adulyadej Memorial Day 13th October. That'll Be the day!

Deserved or not by his actions, it should never have happened. The shop owner is to blame for allowing alcohol sales and drinking at 5am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.10am and a Thai men drinking in a convenience store. Shop owner, Ms. Euaamporn Rattanamethakoson has a lot to answer for, Surely alcohol sales cease at 12 midnight! If she hadn't sold alcohol the incident would not have happened. Throw the book at her and take away her alcohol licence!

3 deviants together!

Fire Guts Pattaya Condo. perthepattayanews.com The name of the condo complex was withheld pending the final investigation. Unbelievable reporting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ones religious belief, if they have one, is -or should be, a purely private matter (sadly in most cases hoisted upon one at birth). It should be kept that way. PRIVATE. Not open for all to see. Do what/wear what you like in private, but conform to accepted norms in public.

School uniforms for one and all. If not liked....................bugger off!

What are the chances that come next May, when the Senators right to vote for a PM ceases, PM Srettha resigns, allowing Thaksin to enter the fray and be voted in as new PM? That of course assumes he is first freed/pardoned for his perceived sins

Someone need my assistance? A Thai wife who at some time lived and worked in the UK and has a minimum of 10 NI contributions will likely be entitled to a UK state pension at the appropriate age Thai wives of British expats here in Thailand, who have never worked in the UK are entitled to nothing. The husbands state pension ceases upon his death, and nothing further is provided by the DWP either for wives./widows or children. At worst the DWP will likely as not, some months after death, request any pension overpayment to be returned from the estate. Relocate to the Phillipines and you may be in luck!

The use of, or threatening the use of a gun or other deadly weapon, warrants a death penalty........and its implementation!

Is the damage to the power pole likely to cost 2 million baht as was the recent rear bump to a Chinese owned Roller?

35 years ago, a Thai wife married to a foreigner could not buy land in her name, and once married to a foreigner had to dispose of any land that she owned prior to marriage. That law changed at some later time. The land that was bought where our house was built. was bought in her Father's name, and I was advised to act as mortgagor, details of which were written onto the title deeds (chanotes). When things went tits up some years later, she could not sell as it was not her land, and father could not sell without relinquishing the mortgage!????

That may be the rule but does not apply to Thai monks In fact not many rules seem to apply to them!

Then there would be even more crap on the roads????

Why does a Will need to be notarised.? Not necessary in my experience!

Commit a crime using or threatening with a gun or other deadly weapon warrants a DEATH sentence!

If Thais cannot afford 5,000bt -or even 10,000baht fines, then they should think twice about putting themselves in the position where they will be fined!. Cannot pay. then lose the vehicle Card players in the villages who get caught and cannot pay the fine are imprisoned instead. I believe it is 1 night in prison for every 500bt not paid. Treat motorists the same way!

Thailand's roads are perilous due in the main to driver error, inexperience,and general foolhardiness!

Or driving a car!

Poorly run school allowing kids to enter and leave on motorbikes without helmets, and most probably without licences and insurance! And not a policeman to be seen! But that is never a surprise!

No doubt 17 year old "A" went to work at the Karaoke of her own free will and likely as not, having probably had sex with most of the young lads from her village, was more than happy to provide services to customers, when, this time, she would get a paid!

Sexual assault/rape of a child warrants the death sentence!

Was parked up near my local bus station at 4pm yesterday, waiting for my son. Nearby High School turned out. The road was awash with motorbikes with 2,3 and even 4 youngsters aboard going home. Masks aplenty, but not one helmet to be seen!!!!!!!!!!!!! If 16/17 year old kids cannot obey the rules, what hope is there for the future.

When I applied for Permanent residency, albeit 30+ years ago, I needed a report from the UK stating I had no criminal record. This could apparently be applied for through the British Embassy. When I visited the embassy and explained what I wanted, I was asked "Do you have a criminal record in the UK?". My answer, being NO, was totally sufficient for the embassy to issue a document for Thai immigration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone, committing a criminal act, using a lethal weapon, to intimidate, cause injury or kill, deserves a death penalty!
