Some people do get up early. My wife gets up at 5am every morning, gives me my medicine at 5.30am followed by coffee in bed at 6.30am. Some people don't spend every waking moment, 3 sheets to the wind. Look at how low the balcony is! Thai man standing to the right.

Why did you have to spoil your post mentioning Mr T? There is no greater crime than a soldier overthrowing a dully elected government at the end of a gun! Until those are prosecuted one should be very silent! Not to mention the vast fortunes military elite seem to obtain on rather basic salaries!!!

Because Thais don’t lie? I do not think the tourists ran away unless they felt threatened. When you use an app the price is the price, you do not have add ons. I've never had a taxi in bkk offer me route options and I've never had a long winded explanation about costs. The police should be praised not condemned.

Why! America is a country that its citizens have a right to own weapons and can freely buy ammunition so why would you try and smuggle a single shotgun cartridge! This scam pops up every so often at thai airports.

Wow! Says alot about you. Take it your a Stella Artois drinker as well? Boasting that you go about hitting women is not a good look. W£%^£r!!!

Pipe dream until they sort out corruption in the customs department. Personal experience 20 x packing boxes (the company supplied the boxes and tape) from my house in Scotland to bkk via Singapore and it cost more to get them from customs at bkk to a family ome in bkk. 16km. I was given no choice, was not allowed to collect myself and forced to use their preferred transporter.

My first trip to Thailand it was above 70 baht to the British pound and things were so cheap. I would travel very light and buy my clothes in Thailand.

Oh not another magic NIDA poll, which miraculously always finds the desired result.

Have you ever been?

You really need to look up what right wing means. The UK has a Tory government which is as left leaning as Tony Blairs government was. Being a real Conservative or Republican is not Right Wing same as loving your country isn't right wing.

You obviously have no idea about arthritis/bone joint damage. I've been on morphine for 16 years due to lower back broken/damaged, hips, both ankles and both wrists. From injuries I got in the army. Pain is hellish because its 24/7. I was told by a specialist not to let anyone operate on my back because the risks are not worth the possible results.

And she wonders why she got dumped. Lucky escape for the guy. Pity I was not so lucky several times as I used to be a nutcase magnet.

It's not the gay marriage but the Alphabet soup that is being pushed. Those buzz words of "equity & enclusion" that destroys whatever it touches. Please Thailand stop this cancerous rot before it starts.

I just shake my head at some of the posters on here. Mr T. was ellected by the people as was his sister. The crime above all crimes is for a soldier to take the country at the end of a gun and the penalty for that crime should be the ultimate punishment. Thailand is and always will be a country cowering under the threat of the military jack boot. People should remember that and until true justice is carried out leave Mr T. and his Sister alone. I never liked Mr T. however, the majority of people of Thailand did!

And no money to be made.

Then headlines Record Floods. People used to laugh at the idiots walking on the street with chalk boards "The world is ending" now they are all over main stream media. A couple of weeks ago in the UK "Over 8 inches of snow to fall all over the uk over night". We hardly got a snow flake at my home in Scotland.

And they have the neck to go on about reducing co2 and pushing EVs.... Until it effects the elite's pockets nothing will ever be done.

Not at 8 years old. I could have put my daughter on horse at a very young age but I waited till she was 10. My daughter is a good rider, jumps 5" with ease but I wouldn't put her in the grand national or a steeple chase. 8 years old is far to young regardless of how many are around them. It was an endurance and an 8 year olds body should not be subjected to those rigours. God I was an adult and the army left me a disabled cripple from rigours abuse.

It must be great having such abilities at the age of 14!

Most people in the world now have less money to play with due to rising prices, so Thailand is no different. People commenting about Thais only earning 10k, please wake up as not all Thais earn basic wadge and those that do normally get quite large annual bonuses.

Ah another keyboard hard man. Rule of thumb: "Don't leave comments that you wouldn't say to someone's face". The fact that in a first world country it would not be allowed shows how this was wrong on so many levels and you can't see it!

Really, you have to ask? Try doing that in the uk with your child and you would rightly have your child taken from you.

Again this nonsense. Having been in the British Army and having a keen interest in law, I read the 4inch thick Military Law Manual several times. Obviously it is good practice not to leave valuables out on display, but not an offence same as stupidity is not an offence in the military. If stupidity was an offence in the military officers personal records would be so thick to make it impossible to file...... lol

I do not see the relevance of you comment! Brining the army into disrepute was a very common charge when I was in and quite often used because of lack of knowledge of military law. I have argued against its use many times. The article comment was about a theft and the quote "in the British army you "The Victim" gets charged for your money or kit being stolen! This is false and I've personally never seen it being used or attempted to be used. Just British military folk law myth.

You presume people who chose to ride motorbikes are poor! Last vehicle I had in Thailand was a Ford Everest 4×4, and 3 motorbikes all of which I bought from new. I've riden motorbikes for 47 years. For me and many like me a car is something you need and would never dream of going for a drive in for pleasure, however, my motorbikes are for pure enjoyment and I love just going out for a ride.......
