it is what it is

nonsense, you think people only thai people behave like this? you have very limited experience of the world. you only have to look at the usa to see similar behavior, on a far greater scale, and if you knew anything about latin and south american culture... or mongolia - where if your foot touches someone else's or you touch someones hat then it's fight time. thais are, in reflection, quite restrained.

next you'll be complaining you took your own food into a restaurant and asked them to cook it for you

pay by cash, it's much quicker than faffing around with the QR code payment system

the guy is clearly a d*ck, thinking somehow the law doesn't apply to him and trying to get out of repercussions of his actions by blaming 'legal advice', pathetic. why is he being given leniency? he's broken the law, do the time.

transfer it from one account to another.

i get pretty good service, must be you.

nonsense, many thais work standard six day weeks and have considerably less annual leave entitlement than western employees.

you clearly don't understand rip tides. neither did i until visiting my sister and BIL in aus, the two things he told me about; red back spiders - yes i saw one, and what to do in a rip, they lived right by a beach. rips can be deadly, but are relatively easy to get out of as long as you stay calm and don't try to swim against it.

1995?

it's not really a fair comparison, govt subsidies being reduced in the uk but not in thailand. public charging in the uk can be up to 10 times more expensive than charging at home, plus 20% sales tax in public places against 5% at home. the EV cheap motoring option is pretty much over in the uk, i suspect the ev market in thailand is more in its infancy and will follow a similar trend when govt subsidies reduce and profiteering by public charging stations kicks in.

🙄

my american mate's gf got a 10 year visa no problem, but she's well educated with a good job.

given the location of the fortuner and bike damage i don't see how the victim was overtaking, surely common sense suggests it was more likely he was undertaking? dangerous at the best of times, at speed you could say suicidal...

no one's pointing, clear evidence they are innocent.

this is nonsense. if someone i knew said give me money or i'll report you to the police i'd drive them to the police station myself.

This begs the question: is this reality? Are people genuinely prepared to resort to extreme measures over trivial disputes? Why can't conflicts be resolved amicably, without the threat of violence hanging over us? thailand is no different from other countries in this repect, and much safer than many, in the usa for example, a small slight can result in someone getting a gun and killing people, usually at their place of education or work. in the uk, thankfully with robust firearms laws, looking at someone wrongly, criticising someone can result in a stabbing. for sure certain individuals around the world need to calm down, and as you say resolve conflicts amicably. i don't have much hope.

think they're in custody, well hopefully.

and causing noise pollution they must have been really really noisy fireworks for the locals to get upset about the noise. good effort, give them a taste of their own medicine.

i'm sure the family and friends of the victim are overjoyed at his last moments being broadcast on the internet.

it doesn't cost anything. and i don't need a printer. 😁

back on the uk for a visit, contactless payment is so quick and easy, don't understand why thailand has implemented the faffy QR system when a much more efficient and effective payment system is available.

top 50 should be achievable, it's not a great airport, but it's not bad. anyone who travels widely and regularly will know there are many far worse airports around the world.

oops, that went right over your head...

not sure he's allowed to criticise or complain about thai airways, or anyone or anything in thailand, without opening himself up to being sued, regardless of how true and valid the criticism or complaint is... only been on one thai airways flight, and that was only because it was a flight share, and none of the seats reclined, never before or after traveled on an airline with non reclining seats. will never knowingly travel on thai again.

ridiculous photo accompanying this piece. where on earth is any QC, or do the people running this site simply not care.
