Stories like this from so many places just proves that you can't fix stupid.

Maybe he was trying to do a border swim instead of a border run?

Do I hear 40?

It would make one hell of a "Reality" TV show.

Due to ZERO planning, and the pouring of millions of tons of concrete, Pattaya is really just an enormous swimming pool (or toilet) with a tiny drain pipe.

I haven't been back to the USA in years and have no plans to ever return there.

If Biden is the reason that my US Dollar income has risen by nearly 20% this year I LOVE the guy. I'm hoping for 45-50 Baht to the Dollar.

Certainly better than the chang-swilling barstool fools.

This bridge will not be built in our or our children's lifetime. Just another pipe-dream idea from the people who work in the "hub" of pipe dreams.

They'll probably start the bridge as soon as they finish building the canal across the isthmus they began planning about 30 years ago.

$44 dollars for 1 ounce. A very fair price, all things considered.

Get real. At $20 US per gram that makes $560 per ounce! The most expensive grass in the world. The current extortionate prices will drop dramatically in the next year. In Canada and the US you can now buy an ounce of high quality smoke for $125.

Ridiculously expensive.

You are Soooo clueless I actually feel sorry for you.

If this kind of stupid story continues, "I was high on Ganja" might soon replace "My brakes failed" whenever a dump truck flattens a car.

This whole "dual pricing" thing is NOT unique to Thailand. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/travel-indonesia-borobudur-temple-intl-hnk/index.html

Thailand - The "Hub" of blaming someone/something else for your OWN failures. Amazing.

Get a small paper calendar, mark important dates, and stick it on your refrigerator. It's worked for me for decades, through many "system burps".

What I am saying is that a tourist shouldn't expect any kind of massive help with their hospital bills, should they get injured, for $10. Think about it.

Again, it is less than $10. No one should expect any meaningful benefit from it. And in the eyes of the government, everyone here (for a week or a decade) is a "visitor".

Cheap Charlie.

Exactly! Anyone who bitches about a lousy 300 Baht entry fee can just stay home <deleted>. MANY countries require some form of fee from foreign visitors, in most cases a lot more than 300 Baht.

Insurance for this? ???? Get real. This is Thailand.

She ran over a motorcyclist and then fled the scene. At that point she was a criminal. The cops should have broken a window on her hi-so benz and dragged her ass out. The 5-hour wait was probably because she said "do you know who I am?"

Thank you!
