Really nieve thing to say. Many young guys get knocked out by men in their 50's or even 60's. New a real gentleman with only one leg knocked 2 young gus out who were throwing their weight around. Only one leg and 60.

3 go into the wilderness, tempted by the devil and 3 come out: the first lives a life of poverty roaming and talking of his 3 truths, second; life and early death preaching understanding and peace and the 3rd becomes a warlord raises an army and war, conquering country after country with over 150 million dead and counting. Think that says it all.

Reading the nasty, negative omens on here, I just shake my head then realie it's the same old negativers. Good idea if not abused by government officials. Well done.

Another vindictive character in Thailand. Why so twisted? Expats use agents for all kinds of reasons and one is the belief that there will be less hassle. I used an agent once when I was a scuba diving instructor and the reason back then was working on an island and work permits were non existing. I was very lucky as left thailand before it came out the agent was just stamping the passports himself. This caused friend to end up in prison and a 100,000baht fine plus banned for life (one of the nicest guys ive met). The agent was sitting in his shop, sign still up with nothing at all happending to him. However, I also new a very good and honest agent who became very rich from providing a good service. I would never decry anyone who used such a service.

And expats are better off without smug "Look at me" types.

How on earth can you spin the incompetence of the current on the success of his predecessor? Only in a really twisted mind. Anyway this is about Thailand not America!!!

I don't know what cheap malt you are buying in litre bottles as most decent malts I drink only come in 70cl and my favourite malt your lucky to buy any bigger than 50cl "Scapa". Oh Santa has got me a 25 year old malt Glenfiddich for my collection and yes all 70cl. Wish Santa new about Scapa Web site as I would have been happy with 50cl.

Just can't help it! Two facts here for your moral compass: 1. People died during a rescue that was mostly performed by western cave dive team 2. The racist pricing which you would NEVER find in the west.

One of my deepest regrets was going to a tiger temple and witnessing these beautiful massive cat's and knowing it was so wrong as they had to be so drugged up so a monk could sit next to it for people to stroke it for selfish.....

Must be a very dangerous office wearing a high vis behind a desk!

If you hate expats so much why troll on a site that originally started for expats? Serious question as it baffles me.

Maybe you need to research, open your eyes before believing everything you read as literal! Phew! Some people.... bahhh, bahhh, bahhh.

Yes I realise that is whay is in the article. However, I am looking with my eyes and what I'm seeing is intense heat fire source in the area of where a battery is situated and not where the fuel tank is.

Battery fires are very quick, you would not notice the flames to start with. From the photo and other Battery fires I've seen this looks typical. Do a little Google search of ev fires especially China. This vehicle is possibly a hybrid so there will also be petrol or diesel fire.

I would go with ev or hybrid as a good bet. Petrol/diesel fires normally ignite and burn under the hood and not under the seats where the batteries are stored. I personally would not let my family go in an EV I think they are far to dangerous.

I feel so sorry for this guy, the cops smell money so they will hound him. You must be having a laugh "attempted rape" come on, if he was intent on rape I do not think the woman/girl could stop him. As said he saw she was underage and just went to sleep and for me that is a man of character. No screaming, no running out the door just a concocted story with the hope of a payout..... so many flaws. Poor guy.

Why no surprise? Scottish beef "Aberdeen Angus" second (I would say best) in the world so a british steak dinner is no where! Then one of the nicest bits of beef I've had was American buffalo/bison while in Canada again no where to be seen. So many game foods readily available and nothing... mince and chilli wow......lol

The minimum wage in Thailand is scandalous. When goods manufactured in Thailand cost more in Thailand than in the uk after export import says it all. Prices are not cheaper in Thailand infact often are more expensive so when people are paid £12 for a 12+ hour day compared to £12 an hour and contribution to a pension is not far off slave labour.

And Thailand should pay war retribution's to the UK and their allies over WW2 or thank America for the pathetic excuse saving them billions.

Sorry not everyone is a coward! Some people have principles.

People forget he was ousted by a coup so any charges there after should be nullified. I am not a fan but having lived in Thailand when he was in power things were far better for foreigners and the GDP was 12~14%. The greatest crime it to take a country at the end of a gun and not one single general as corrupt as they are seeing a single day inside a prison cell. Even with the temple massacre blood on his hands.

And Peter Pan and Never Never Land are real holiday locations. Sorry but if you believe what comes from the Thai authorities you should invest every penny in Thai stocks. I don't see any great announcement for the 75% of foreign investment that left Thailand after the last coup. Also the foreign currency reserves aren't being crowed about anymore. Then there is the gold mine compensation???

All that quite often happens to tourists in Thailand. My advice to this family "Don't buy any lotto or raffle tickets for a while".

If I did not have family in Thailand I would never go back even though I have a house there and thats not even considering the flight costs: March 2023 £3500 March 2024 £4500. We will not be going to Thailand in 2025...

You mean like military generals were so good? The state Thailand is in right now is directly the result of two coups. What has happened to the mythical us dollar reserve that used to be crowed about? Rhetorical question. Generals are quite good at putting budgets into their personal accounts and when caught "misunderstanding"!
