That would fraud and, obviously, illegal.

Good to hear it reported but it is not unusual in the insurance industry (unfortunately, it won't go down at all well with a lot of irrational insurance industry haters on this forum, you're lucky the "small print" didn't get you!)

Presentiment. All good forces have them. What the duck are you talking about, ESP? 'Kin ridiculous assertion.

No idea, you'd have to ask that of a scouser.

I do when I see some.

What exactly was "lax" about the RTP's investigation in this case or the enforcement of the laws?

Really? What is his salary and how much savings/investment does he have?

The kidnapping wasn't reported to the police until the day after they left the country and a couple of days after the killing. How would you expect the RTP to catch people who haven't been reported to them, neither had the crime?

"Ducks in a barrel [sic]"? What? You need to get all your fish in a row.

It is clear, CCTV and car and house rentals.

Yes, they left the country before the kidnapping was reported to the police, how could the police have stopped them from leaving?

They don't need to, the regular RTP are doing that but they cannot act before a crime is committed or before they are advised of it! "...better off going after REAL criminals who kill people?" It sounds as though you're suggesting that murder is the only crime that should be investigated. I take it that the Immigration officials in your country have abandoned their posts in order to do the work of the police force or are you just advocating it for Thailand?

Not for Chinese, they require a visa.

Nonsense , the majority of people are good, a few are bad.

Not so poor that they couldn't get their daughter to a music school in Thailand, even exchange students have considerable expenses in a foreign country..

What? Did you bother to read the OP which detailed the motive?

You don't have to read it, you chose to read it based on the title of the OP.

I don't think they'll be turning themselves in sometime next Thursday or at a time convenient to both parties! That's not the intention. Arrest warrants have to be issued in order for Interpol Red Notices to be requested.

They haven't, there's millions of tourists coming from other countries.

Try reading the OP fully, the motive has been reported all over the media.

Perhaps you should read the rules about discussing prostitution before you feel stu....

Worthy of attention, obviously, but OP's scaremongering is not justified. The entire Passport Office staff is not striking for a whole five-week period! There will be selective strike action continuing for five weeks with only one day when a complete(?), 130,000 staff, shutdown is planned. Time period for issuance of passports remains unchanged at 10 weeks, this would have to be extended if the entire PO went on strike for five weeks.

If the ride has always been "horrible" (it is a cart-sprung pickup, after all) new shocks won't help except to restore the original "horrible" ride. Softer springs are what will provide a more comfortable ride than standard (to you), but that's an option that will be much more difficult to source than new, quality shocks (unless you're prepared to take leaves out of the springs). Or, take it to Isuzu, or buy OE Isuzu shock absorbers.

"I took it to a local somchai ...a goofy gormless smile... Gupta said...". Maybe they recognised your unwarranted superior, arrogant attitude that you displayed and just didn't want to help you? I wouldn't blame them. Regardless, I have an Asus that intermittently didn't want to boot up and then, finally, no reaction at all from the power button. PC Service (K. Puung), 4th Floor, IT Mall, Fortune Town 02 642 0630, 02 642 1111, 081 944 3589, had it fixed for B2,500 in two days. No idea what the problem was except that it was "electronic"...and fixed. Maybe they could fix yours.
