Any mention of the Thai law firm that created and registered these foreign proxies? Or the Thai government agency that didn't check on the bona fides of this company registration? They really just can't help themselves.

My gran used to take her dental plate out before pouring some of her hot cup of milk-and-sugarred Nambarrie into the saucer and sipping it noisily through her pursed lips. She would always forget where she left her plate as well.

Just stop stampling!

Ok, let us know how you managed to slip in here unnoticed?

Emotional distress? Good grief... it's a flight delay, not a fire fight in Helmand. PTSD anyone?

Good to see that you are proud to be Thai, but that you have no idea what the richest families are doing with your country and its people...I don't care as it is not my country, but keep going on like this and things will be far worse for the common people and rich will be richer and richer.. No, I am not Thai. That's why I don't care if Thailand's societal and cultural mores makes them appear to be blind to what their "richest families" are doing to their own people. Right now, I'm more focussed on what's for supper.

And even less point in getting excited about not doing it.

I haven't flown Cathay in ages until last month, long-haul HKG-MAN. Wasn't too bad, but they didn't board in groups at either BKK or HKG, like most other airlines. Got wise to that at HKG and played the doddering senior and 'barged' my way in near the front. Food service at the back of the bus was a bit haphazard looking on both flights, with an attendant running back and forth, balancing extra trays as their food carts were emptied. Also, their 777 on the BKK-HKG hop was 21 years old, which makes EVA's 777 involved in the above incident a mere whippersnapper at 7 years old.

Fuel dumping is done over the sea, not over land. The flight was originally headed NW, away from the sea, so having it urn and circle over the Gulf would have taken more time and probably more disruptive to other air traffic.

Hah! If it had been a THAI aircraft, you would have been leading the charge with @BigBilly on high cost, poor service, rampant corruption, old airplanes and painting the tail fin black.

Why? Just because you, a foreigner, thinks they should not accept this anymore?

So, the issue isn't with Draconian rape-related sentencing, but overly lenient sentencing for murderers.

Sounds like you haven't been raped (yet).

Only because other members repeat talking points of the extreme cult right. Hysterical, no?

It's all based on what's widely known as Navarronomics. Those less familiar with this American term may refer to Kwartenomics, as practiced briefly by the UK's Conservative party.

Talking about dim sheep, do some research before spouting nonsense willya? Australia already has its premier msm fake news provider. It's called Sky. Bahhhh...

Oh no...France24 is doing it too!!!

Are they tax-paying Aussie penguins then?

Scapegoats for deep-rooted and endemic Thai corruption. The government's 7-day "root-cause" investigation of the collapse will ultimately blame the whole illegal enterprise on an unqualified site foreman from Myanmar who didn't have a work permit either, so was working illegally. Of course he perished in the building collapse.

The UK stopped extending passport expiration dates by carrying over unspent time from old passports to new ones in September 2018. Giyf

I renewed both my full but not close to expiration UK passports at VFS Trendy in Jan and Feb 2015, and both renewals came back in less than two weeks with Oct and Nov 2025 expiration dates respectively, so credit was still available. YMMV(FS) TiT(rendy)

Do you have any proof that this old "at the scene" road death classification is still in use, or is it possible this is just another case of trope recycling because Thai people lie or have no common sense?

That's right. You weren't there about 15 years ago in Khon Kaen.

I had that sprung on me once, the casual offer to meet my friend at KFC saw a horde of her family cling-ons descend across two tables and order mega buckets. I went and paid the bill for me and my squeeze, and bid them farewell as I had an 'early' appointment (I didn't). I didn't stick around to see the shock and horror that my khi-niaow farang moment precipitated.

The Thai laws on public decency have been used to arrest people for 'going commando'. In the same was as your friendly immigration officer can conjure up the need for a previously unheard of document, or the traffic cop can select a farang-driver for having an overloaded pickup while ignoring the top-heavy ones driven by the locals going past, the cops can charge you with public decency disorder. That's why, when he couldn't issue a ticket for anything else, he tried the 'no nickers' wild card.
