Freaky dude...Nope for the "youthful indiscretion" , A**hole is 26 years old, not 16 yo. Pathetic.

The title "Thailand battles hazardous PM2.5 pollution" ...Really...To wage a battle you need to actually fight...

Sure, could be in some cases. Among those that i was referring to, they didn't "turn themselves in" (at the airport or other), but were caught or checked for whatever reason (two of them were simply riding a motorcycle and driving a car and were stopped/pulled to the side by traffic officers). My guess is that they managed a bail and had to pack asap and take a plane.

mmmm.....weird. I've been living in Thailand for 14 years now. Know quite a bunch of people who overstayed their visas by more than that. Never got to jail. Paid a fine and were sent back home (or went to an other country of their choice), and barred from re-entering Thailand for some time. True, they could afford the plane ticket (might be a bit different for those who can't and have no money at all ). Cheers

Some decents lads too out there, even the "sensationalist" medias usually push forward the nasty, best-selling stuff. I lost wallet in a taxi, around 6000 thb, credit card etc..in it, plus a small card with my name and adress in Bkk. The next day the taxi driver droped it at the condo's management office. Not a baht missing. Cheers

Phuket and other places here in Thailand (and other countries too) is where these drug-dealing scumbags go to spend their drug money. Fact.

oh dear.. what a slobbish write-off......as pathetic as it can get

i'm in Pranburi since saturday (close to the sheraton villas). Wind was crazy strong until this morning. No-one in their right mind would have gone out for kitesurfing in the area or take anyone out at sea for that purpose. Insane.

so what about non-students the same age brackets?

yawn. So boring.

In France there is an expression ; "la nuit, tous les chats sont gris" (at night , all cats are grey). And also Everyone looks good in the eye of the "bottle"holder 😉

Many small communities and villages in Thailand are riddled with drugs (Meth first). It's a scourge.

Not incompatible...i do both :)

Its the other way around for me. I come back every winter to France. the mountain, the snow , the ski, the magic of so many towns and villages in xmas time.
