  1. Maybe this may explain? "Pol. Lt. Gen. Surachet emphasized that the Outlaws gang was involved in various illegal activities, such as drug trafficking and human trafficking. The joint effort by the police aimed to root out these illegal elements and maintain safety and security in the region. "
  2. "The TikTok user added the foreign passenger insisted on leaving the plane alone to retrieve the bag, but airport officers encouraged all of his family members to accompany him according to safety measures." Looks like 'airport officers' did?
  3. "The Immigration Police Bureau has ordered the transfers of nine immigration officers from Suvarnabhumi Airport, after they were seen in viral video clips escorting Chinese superstar Jackson Wang." Nobody ever seems to get fired?
  4. To be fair there is a pattern here? This is not the first mysterious death there?
  5. So if it was just an overstay, he could pay the fine and get on his flight? Obviously something else going on here?
  6. Absolutely, its almost like they have an agenda?????
  7. If you had quoted me in context, instead of out of context, you wouldn't be asking! What I wrote was: " but like anything mechanical unless maintained correctly they can malfunction."
  8. I am certainly NOT saying escalators everywhere are "wrong", they are extremely safe, but like anything mechanical unless maintained correctly they can malfunction. I agree with you the parents should take care of their children, but you can't keep your eye on them all the time.
  9. Well maybe a small to medium child might not think like that?
  10. "The Superintendent of the Chon Buri Provincial Immigration Office, Parinya Klinkaysorn, commended the effectiveness of the operation, emphasising that it took only 50 minutes from the time the complaint was filed to the arrest of the suspect." "Afterwards, Kenny was taken back to Pattaya, a two-hour drive away, where he was kept in a holding cell until 1pm before giving his police statement. Two of his friends returned to Singapore first, while one of them stayed behind to post bail for him. Kenny’s passport was withheld during the ongoing police investigations, but it was returned to the Singaporean at noon on Thursday after the case was dropped. The police dismissed the case as a misunderstanding" "Kenny revealed that he had spent approximately 70,000 baht in legal fees and an additional 17,000 baht for two extra nights of hotel accommodation and his flight home. He said" A very expensive mistake, so who should pay for this misunderstanding?
  11. Absolutely, I am sure 'proper' food does not include, Bratwurst, pastries and Beer?????
  12. Yes and apparently he was the best of friends with the deceased, Hans Peter Walter Mack? WAS being the operative word here!
  13. Quite, maybe the cops pick on foreigners on purpose cos they have money?????
  14. Absolutely, lawyers would be lining up to work on a contingency basis, knowing they would win?
  15. You may be right, probably we will never know. If he made those allegations whilst in Thailand, even if true, we all know what would have happened? He made the right decision to leave, then write about it! Probably a good idea to not go back to Thailand?
  16. As you say there are 2 sides to every story! The chances of the RTP coming forth and saying anything is extremely low, so we only have his story?
  17. You make a good point. Thai media especially TThaiger aren't known for reporting accuracy. As you say the RTP would know but as we all know they don't always tell the truth?????
  18. From the article "However, when Ms. Areeya contacted the contracting company, she was greeted with unsatisfactory service according to her as she was allegedly told that the company would not compensate for her damage and that she would instead have to pay the firm for damaging their median." She damaged their median! The median didn't move so must it must have been the car that hit the median, not vice versa?555
  19. Correct, but obviously you would need a UK address. Your question as to why the don't use email is a very good one. I have 3 private pensions and they send an email every 2 years or so that I need to get signed and verified by a notary etc, then I can scan and email the form back, which of course obviates the use of snail mail/post. Rhetorical question but why do the DWP insist on using the 'post' method?
