So, carrying a weapon in public is less harmful to the public good than not wearing a helmet under the law? 

Maybe put some more text overlay on the video. I think the actual video footage is not yet covered enough. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Euhhh...  Come again, please?

Those meaningless, almost mocking platitudes are getting really annoying.

• News about waste issues: "Concerns about the pristine nature of Phuket..." → Trash is everywhere.
• News about reckless Russian drivers: "Concerns about the well-known safety of Phuket..." → Hit-and-runs happen daily, no respect for the rules.
• News about illegal activities: "Police are stepping up efforts to maintain Phuket's good image..." → Illegally working Russians on every corner.
• News about black sludge draining into the ocean: "Citizens concerned about Phuket’s world-renowned white sandy beaches..." → Beaches are filthy, covered in plastic and trash, with untreated wastewater pouring straight into the sea.

Enough with the empty phrases. Stop trying to sell your readers for fools.

I was sitting eating a bowl of ramen in suvarnabhumi awhile ago. It was around 200฿ from memory.

A young blonde girl with a large backpack walked up to the menu, pointed out a dish and asked "can you do it any cheaper". She tried to haggle over a plate of cheap airport food then gave up and left.

Also watched a young man try to haggle a bloody bicycle in chiang mai and get it down like 20 baht.

Wtf people.

Yeah, it is getting worse by the day. People lack decency, trying to scam, cheat, lie everywhere without the tiniest feeling of remorse or respect. No admitting of wrongdoing whatsoever. 
Look at the news, people destroying police chains, ignoring police checkpoints, pissing and <deleted>ting everywhere, scamming and not paying restaurants, taxis fares etc.

no signs of physical assault or injury on his body...

Two deaths under similar circumstances suggest a strong likelihood of foul play. Consuming what were most likely spiked drugs or drinks could be the cause. While a single death might be dismissed as random, the recurrence points to a concerning pattern.

As long as the 'money-first' mindset dominates, meaningful change is unlikely. While I believe change will come, it will take decades to unfold. Historians a century from now may look back on our era as the 'Trash Era'—a time when the Earth was at its most polluted and degraded.

Unbelievable how many morons are on this planet. Basically a wild animal that can speak.

I visited Nai Harn last weekend, and it was heartbreaking to see how much it has deteriorated in just a few years. The once-pristine beach is now overrun with hordes of tourists lounging on sunbeds and crowded under umbrellas. Trash is scattered everywhere, and the sand itself seems to be about 30% microplastic particles.

The nearby water reservoir and the small stream on the side are in a deplorable state, filthy beyond belief. It’s hard to imagine that not long ago, this was a prestigious lagoon, renowned for its natural beauty. Now, it feels like nothing more than an overrun garbage dump.

Where in Phuket province can I see the islands on the picture ? Look to me that it is koh Lakbia, in Krabi province....

And not to mention the extremely obvious image enhancement that has taken place. Further, from those birds eye's views you can't see all that trash and human waste and neglengence that has been going on all phuket beaches.

where is the video? Just opened this thread for seeing some street brwl.

That means nothing, that could happen on impact from inertia, or the wheels/drive shaft still spinning. 

The wreckage however indicates that speed on impact was somewhere in that area.

What reputation? a cessepool of the world's worst tourists vs overpriced tuktuks, expired hookers, and scammy venues? Patong is truly one of the worst places on earth in so many ways. It was fun during Covid when there were no tourists, but on normal times...ugh.

Yep, absolutely. I mean, if it at least the prices would be cheap to compensate for all the bull<deleted>. But no, quite the opposite.

That beach is too nice, can't be Phuket.

//EDIT: There is no trash on the beach, can't be Phuket.

According to Ms. Inder, the disagreement began when she visited a tailoring shop to discuss a dress alteration. The negotiation turned heated, and the shop owner, angered by her insistence, allegedly slapped her, causing her to fall while her children watched in horror.

I don't know a negotiation can turn heated if there is nothing on the line. If he asks too much which she is not willing to pay then that is the end of the negotiation. She can either turn around and leave or pay a higher price. I can imagine her being hysterical and feeling entitled and screaming at that tailor guy which led to the slap.

I preferred the year 2000...when most of this rubbish never knew Thailand existed. 

This was the pre Internet, Social Media, Smartphone era, which in hindsight was just delightful.

It is just unbelievable the amateurishness of this news team. So, did the robber stole an amulet worth 600 Baht or did the robber take 600 Baht cash from a smoothie shop. Random photo in no relation to the news.

R.I.P.

 

Having said this, way too many Russians now in Thailand, especially in Phuket and Pattaya.

 

And 90% of them are not tourists! Mostly rogue people! Buying illegal ED visas to stay in Thailand for years and being involved in all kinds of illegal activities..

 

 

Everyday another news with either some badly behaving russian, criminal russian, accident causing russian, rules and regulations ignoring russian, drowning russian ...

I was at Nai Harn yesterday pretty much at the same time. Waves and currents were really strong. Gotta respect nature's force.

I know that aseannow.com is now managed by thaiger, sadly, but why does it have to be so prominently shown everywhere? It is managed and not co-owned, is it?

Also the fav was taken over by thaiger, which is ridiculous. 

I am not making it a big secret that I absolutely dislike Thaiger, because of several reason. Please remove thaiger logo from the site.
