should not be limited to Thailand. A death sentence is warranted for murder, rape. kiddy fiddling, drug smuggling and terrorism, and no doubt other serious crimes

In Buriram, where both sets of traffic facing each other at traffic lights receive a green light at the same time. No right turn arrow. YET, those wishing to turn right seem to think they can turn against the oncoming traffic and it is their right. Total ignoramuses.

Saves all the nonsense of of lawyers, appeals, plus a likely 10 year prison sentence reduced to 5. Best he took his own life than received a death sentence which would never be acted upon..

Have had PR for 34 years now. From memory cost 20,000bt. Yes I do need a reentry permit if I leave the country, but a multi entry is valiod for 1 year. Problem nowadays with both PR and citizenship is the ability to be reasonably fluent in Thai. Difficult for many

I am happy with permanent residency. Don't want Thai citizenship. With PR, no money in the bank, no 90 days, no extensions and just a trip every 5 years to the local police station to have a new photo put in the Alien reg book. Also get your name in the blue house book for what its worth.

Foreign Tourists.......please come and spend your holiday in Thailand................But this coming weekend, you cannot buy alcohol!!!!!!!!!!! Why bother?

Do note however that when the new passport is returned to VFS Bangkok, and is available for collection, their normal office hours ..Monday to Friday from 08.30 -14.10 hours..do not apply. According to the message you will receive--- passports can only be collected between 14.00-16.00 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus they CANNOT be couriered back to the applicant! That is so helpful and useful for those that live a very long way from Bangkok and would like to do it in one day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Previous incidents included breaking someone’s ribs and slashing another’s throat, though none had been fatal. Each time Bunchoet was jailed for a few months Therein lies the problem. Jailed for a few months!!!!, Slashing another's throat warranted a death sentence! Too late for Supot, sadly!

10%pcm is quite normal up here in Isaan, but anyone borrowing at 50%pcm must have a few loose screws

10million baht loans netting 4-5 million baht monthly interest. A nice little earner.Interest charged at 40/50% a month Are people really that desperate that they would pay so much interest for a loan?

How about lightning in the vicinity?

Yes, but one wuld undoubtedly leave with a big smile

Because the thread was directed at over 75's

Best thing I did was after 3 years to apply for permanent residency. No messing with 90 day reports, annual extensions or money seasoned in the bank. I also have a lifetime Thai driving licence.

Came here 38 years ago...........moved lock stock and barrel. Had a house built just up a soi from Jomtien beach..no tourists then, beach deserted. Relocated to Isaan 23 years ago Bought a house. Have a basic understanding of Thai language and speak it when necesary. Best not to understand here in Isaan as all the locals will try and tap you up for a loan My answer to all requests "mai cowjai". Been back to my home country 3 times each for 2/3 weeks. Could never return... Not the country I grew up in. Overwhelmed with non natives. Here to stay. What would I have changed? Nothing much. May have kept my house in the UK had I not needed the money.

Application will be made at VFS Office who act for HMPO. As your son is 18, he should be able apply in his own right, but will need Father's Full birth certificate (the long one) to prove his entitlement to British nationality. If no have, a copy is available from the General Register Office for around £10

Death sentence should be mandatory for ALL murderers

"They are currently attempting to identify the man"...............Surely the photo suggests they have got the man!!!!!!!

What a shame the UK prison system does not treat its prisoners the same way, instead of locking THem into a holIDay camp environment. A prison sentence is - or should be - PUNISHMENT!

I have fun at the Makro meat weighing counter. I put my food on the conveyor, (behind others if it is busy), wait and watch. Invariably Thais will arrive and put their bags on the conveyor somewhere in the middle (on top of other bags) rather than at the end, I smile, pick up their bags and throw them to the back of the conveyor.🤣

So many stupid crazy fools here in Thailand believing such nonsense!

Appeals should not be necessary. All murderers deserve to die, regardless of who they are or who they know. 9 years after the event what a complete farce!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Asean Now has jumped the gun! Latest news says Police body backs dismissal of ‘Big Joke’

This news broke over 4 hours ago, yet neither of the 2 English language Thai newspapers have mentioned anything!!!!!!!!!
