it is what it is

there speaks the uninformed. clearly you have never been to china, or you have had a very limited experience of the country.

haha, i was sure it was going to be a car or truck, maybe i've been here too long...

not normal for thai boys generally. but sadly, for years vocational college students have been fighting with each other. college and police authorities should have dealt with this issue years ago.

blue line takes you right there, just walk upstairs. 'close' is inaccurate reporting by the writer of the original piece.

whilst i far from condone his/her behaviour, it's hardly a deportation offense.

good news, but tbh many organisations and businesses have been moving to wood and paper based options for a couple of years

and...?

any excuse for a thai bash... road rage happens in every country for gun rage just read about the gun related incidents in the usa it's human nature, some people can control their emotions, some can't.

simply not true. i've had two large payouts from insurance companies (in excess of 50k) in the past, both times the insurance company/loss adjuster were helpful and professional, payout was efficient, prompt and in full.

no, the policy was not worthless, and thai insurance is not worthless, the insured was engaged in an activity that was not covered by the policy. understand?! ????

agree, i have proof read english translations by thais and you really need the author sitting with you to ensure accurate understanding/interpretation of, for example; phrases, modals, nuances, etc.

went for a look around the other week, it's an impressive and massive building, more like an airport than a train station. only a very small part of it is actually in use, many lifts and escalators are blocked off preventing access to much of the building. there are also areas where construction still needs to be completed. it's a pity there is no high speed railway network to make use of this impressive building. sadly, at the moment it is a bit of a white elephant.

blimey, how did he not see that?! introducing barriers that block the whole road, and not half the road, will go someway to stopping such incidents.

don't see what the problem is, i have my vaccination certificates, i show them, job done. anyone unvaccinated is fully aware of the potential consequences for international travel, it can hardly be a surprise.

i'm sure the ATM did him more damage than vice versa. sure, there are some highly strung people out there, and also some people who are just having a bad day. let's not be too judgemental.

to answer your question, in a word; no. next...

maybe, maybe not. some other countries are testing arrivals in order to collect data (not being supplied by china) and don't intend quarantining infected individuals

any chance excess speed was involved?

i know a couple of guys dating/married to well off thai women, wouldn't call them gold diggers as they met dated/married under normal circumstances tbh it's relatively easy to meet thai women who have no need of financial support, in 20+ years here i've never dated a woman who needed, or asked for, my money. they have good jobs, homes, cars...

The possibility that they had just come from the airport was not mentioned in the video or by Daily News who also picked up on the story. being a 'journalist' 'reporting' the story, didn't it occur to you to find out?! ????

she didn't lose her ability to walk. unless she was carried.

absolute no brainer. i've already qualified for full pension, mostly on class 3 contributions, and years before i get it. at least i know it's there - unless the govt moves the goalposts...

went along with the gf to renew her license, if i'd know the what a kerfuffle it would be id' have given it a miss. hanging around for queue after queue, people everywhere; sitting, eating, sleeping... back home apply online from the comfort of my home, 10 year license and only £14. that's how it's done. (so much for digital thailand)

the government needs to do a u turn on u turns.

this is not a thai problem as such, tourists/foreigners get sick, have accidents, need medical assistance in every country in the world. i've visited 50+ countries and non has had a mandatory insurance requirement. a countries economy benefits greatly from tourism, governments need to allocate what would be an extremely small percentage of this to pay for such situations. this is in no way to condone not having relevant insurance or self insuring which would in most cases provide excellent care should the worst happen
