Chris BKK

In KL, Malaysia the taxis are worse or similar to those in Bangkok. That is why I hate going to KL on business. The KL taxis have signs on their door saying meter only and they still demand higher fares. This activity is high on the list for tourists hates about Bkk. Police do you job!. I seldom have a problem because I know the route and speak enough Thai to have the meter on. No meter no go, Tuk Tuks are even worse, so never use

The Viet girls have been around in Nana for more than 3 years, tried once, did not like, B1,500 maximum for ST

I see 7 people in the photo, who are the criminals? I see suspicious characters on right and left

B500 and police will remove the wheel clamp and you are on your way, less a receipt of course

My 90 day reports always states the date the next report is due, so read the 90day report. Nothing to do with long term visas

what a dickhead, if you want such items then declare them, assuming not explosive. Well done to Mrs Dumlak for spotting, she needs/deserves a promotion. Are you sure his first name is not dickhead

Death Highway

Not only Sukhumvit, also at SV City Rama 3

I know a friend in Western Australia got a root canal and crown last year, AUD6,500, B135K

deport him to Iran

Finally a government spokesman is doing something about the treatment of conscripts, this has been going on for years plus using them as glorified maids to senior officers. Is there any wonder there is no trust in the military to treat people fairly. Discipline is fine, but cruelty is not, bullies the lot of them, praying on people who cannot fight back, so basically cowards.

in all if not all then most states in Australia require a helmet even when riding a bicycle one must have a helmet on or maybe the bike is impounded so why not a helmet in Thailand on a motorbike. Think of the investment made by governments in Australia into this young man's life - child support payments, medical, education etc, All gone before taxes paid in return, simple economics. His family will be heartbroken as well. RIP Carlos

Name the 34 buildings considered unsafe

I understand that concrete takes up to 28 days to gain full strength, so if adding floors to quickly then the concrete is not strong enough to support above floors. Usual cost cutting and shody workmanship by engineers, Was this a Chinese construction company. Typical dodgy practises

I always ask what is being prescribed and often items are crossed out. It is my understanding from a retired Doctor than at many hospitals the Doctors are given a target amount of drugs to be prescribed. Drop below the target and sanctions are imposed
