Whatever the reason for this disaster, please spare a thought for the families and loved ones of the 31 missing sailors, who likely were at no fault themselves. Many families around the world who have lost loved ones st sea will know the hymn "For those in peril on the sea" Eternal Father, strong to save,Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,Who bid'st the mighty ocean deepIts own appointed limits keep;O hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea.

Awesome the best hotels ...but still grossly under occupied. Which is the real story.. not some industry award.

He should have said he was avoiding a stray dog!!! Wouldn't that make him a hero in the eyes of many ??

Seriously, you don't know? They are popular with their owners who buy them to intimidate other people or to be a visible presence as a dangerous animal guarding their property. The propert in question is often a stash of illegal drugs which the owner is peddling. These owners are pefectly happy that the dogs are dangerous to humans. That is the very reason they keep these animals. And you really didn't know hat already??

How do you know they were Cockneys? The Dick van Dyke accent and the chimney sweep outfits of course!!!

This is simply untrue!!!! The offending dogs in the UK are invariably not strays but cared for pets ( usually large dangerous breeds) who the owners have lost control of. Often the owner is in close proximity but is unable to restrain the critter in question.

So as to avoid prosecution and conviction if you are inclined to maim or " off ' an intruder, I suggest the following. 1. On no accounts tell all and sundry that you would kill anyone who entered your home. 2. Use a weapon which is an ordinarily household implement, a meat cleaver eg if you have one in the kitchen. Maybe a golf club!! Back in blighty iron fire pokers used to be standard!!! Clearly, in terror you just grabbed whatever was to hand. 3 On no account make an admission of guilt. I recommend " I dunno what happened, I was terrified and fearing for my life. I just defended myself."

Danes or any one else can just use an ATM when they arrive and will get the official rate . Simples. Personally have not bothered with money changers for over 20 years, not just in LOS. .

Regulation Number1 on Motorway. Buffalo has right of way over all vehicles at all times and in all lanes. Especially when sleeping!!!

Anyone seen the movie DEATH RACE 2000. The Thai boy racers will treat this as a competition to see who can get the most points!!! So someone gets killed , do a runner abroad and the cops don't care.

If you have not been to the UK recently , I would suggest you also do not rely on people stopping at pedestrian crossings when you visit the UK. There are huge numbers of unlicensed ,uninsured and untaxed drivers on the road. Plus many who originally learned to drive-in other countries where driving standards are appalling. Added to this is the absenceof road policing in some areas, especially Kent. Not as bad as Thailand, but you do need to wait for traffic to slow/stop and watch for idiots while crossing. Many drivers in the UK speed up to intimidate pedestrians to stop them from even attempting to cross!! Obviously in LOS all the above applies in spades. I witnessed a pedestrian fatality once in Thailand. Five minutes later the body was carted off in a pick up , no road closure while the incident was investigated and evidence gathered. So no chance of any prosecution. It's your life, please take care of it and take extreme care when crossing roads.

Not very wise believe the utterances of the cowardly killer(s). Just as likely they forced the victim into the vehicle and ended up murdering her because she fought back(as it says in the article) !! They all need to be caught and brought to justice.

Seems this forum is dominated by stoners. However this does not mean their opinions are representative of wider public opinion or informed medical opinion. Beware of living a bubble .especially one filled with weed smoke!!!

Big car ...small package????

Hope it's not like the UK...put the word gastro at the top of the menu tart up the food with a bit of garnish and a complicated description of a simple dish...AND DOUBLE THE PRICE. Rather eat the food the locals eat from roadside stalls personally ..but then my Thai ex gf always said I look like a poor chicken farmer!!

Doesn't the above apply to most of the owners of these canine Killers??? The owners of such critters in the UK quite often own these creatures to watch over their stash of illegal drugs and deter competitors. Hope the RTP don't read this and come a sniffing round Pit Bull owners ????

Benny Hill will be there in spirit!!!

Just keep digging matey...????????

You may need to look at your maths. If you start at zero the % increase is infinite. A better example would be if you go from 1 to 3, then the increase is 200%. But your point is very well made nevertheless.

None of the spouses of the children of the late Queen were invited. So there is no story. Just the media stirring up sh#t. Can you imagine Meghan at anyone's .deathbed A horror show ....making herself the centre of attention...

I remember arriving at a bar in Pattaya where the police had been called . A tourist had groped one of the girls and been rewarded by being hit over tge head with a beer bottle. I think the guy may have called the cops himself. The tourist police quickly disabused him of the idea he had any cause to complain and sent him packing. He was lucky they didn't press charges against him in my view. In this case 200000 baht seems a very large settlement However the foreigner in this case may think it a very small price to pay...faced with the alternative of being officially labelled as a SEX OFFENDER, and the enormous costs attendant upon that. Possibly losing his job,losing his partner and having severe restrictions placed on any future foreign travel!!!

Highly amusing thread!! Funny how on numerous night-time strolls in this area I as a very "hansum man" have never been groped by either boys , ladyboys or female hookers!! Clearly the guys getting this attention are giving out signals that they are welcoming such attention!! They then of course pretend the attention from the ladyboys is unwelcome, while secretly getting a cheap thrill. I have always been relatively sober, however.. adding vast quantities of alcohol is never a good move in this situation.

You hope Matey!!!

Slight problem in that the proposal is for the measure to continue up to 31/12/2022 . That's only 4 months ahead. This is not going to be practical for many, if not most people as they have to arrange flights ,leave from work etc months in advance. Especially if you need a reasonably priced air ticket .
