What a shock you are going to have when your rose coloured glasses clear. Light has to be shone on the problems in Thailand for them to be fixed. I personally want Thailand to do better because it will benifit all.

A rather big stretch calling Thailand a democratic country? Military takeover just around the corner and don't forget the current government was not the government that won the election.

Nasty people jump straight to Blaming the foreigner "He must be drunk"! Try looking at the photo. Barrier, that is a little exaggerated, look at it, it's almost knee hight at the large step. Path is also unsafe with several area's one could trip resulting in one tripping. The other fact is its outside a hospital. Maybe he was going to the hospital, tripped and died. This should never have happened, the drain should have been covered, no massive steps and flat smooth sidewalks. Thailand inferstructuer is 3rd world at best except for sky train and MRT. Let us not forget the possibility of being nocked in by a motorbike driving on the path. Lots of possibilities. Stop Blaming foreigners.

Like many on here! Why did he provoke a beat down? Maybe because he is a Brit, or a tourist? In my youth I had many, many fights and those injuries are over the top for a cheeky slap. That's a disgusting attack on someone who was most likely unable to defend himself. I will pray that your in a similar situation soon.

You mean like generals overthrowing and taking a country at the end of a gun? Or maybe ordering the temple shooting and disappearing a very brave nurse? Or what about corruption so extensive and blatant that protesters were thrown in prison. Watches and massive land purchase suspected to be payment!!! If the people elect someone then that person represents the people. This is typical Thai, if loss cheat!

When I was building my house in Thailand I did a lot of research and one thing I found interesting was that US citizens were allowed to own land in Thailand to build a house on due to an agreement they had to make with America. However, upto that date 2010 no land office in Thailand had granted said right of ownership of land to an American!!!

It must be legal! A loophole yes but illegal, no! All this fuss, simple answer is close the loophole and job done! But wait, that would drive away money/business and the collection of those nice fat brown envelopes....

You do know, poodles are working gundog breed so naturally quite muscular breed as with all working on breeds. Better stick with Toy Dog breeds!

It's already happening. Banks in the uk will close your account if not resident in the UK. And, as Farage and many others with the wrong politics also have their Bank accounts closed all the while the people of Britain own controlling shares of a major bank! Banks = legal criminals. If you or I did what banks do we would be locked up for fraud! Imagine for every £ in your wallet you could magic 10 more.

Well said!

Why! For having fun, how dare they!!! They are young and they are enjoying life. Maybe you would be happy if all foreigners left Thailand? Thailands economy would crash! These normal youngsters have spent thousands on a holiday many would agree "a holiday of a lifetime" so enjoy.

And they are new members of the UN. This tells everyone that the UN dream is dead. It should have been kept a closed club. Now it is just currupt to its core.

You can't be that blind? It's all to do with collecting more money. Yes a very good idea about delivery times. However, this will never happen, because there these charges will cause such a backlash. Thai governments hate upsetting the public unless they have guns and tanks, mmmm, nope, infact their also scared of the masses.

This must me a joke!

That's quite a sick comment.
