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.

Ev are so dangerous to other road users because of the weight of their battery. Everyone's car insurance in the uk has sky rocked year on year, I wonder why???

This whole thing seems strange. Has it taken 40 years or were the crimes just reported after 40 years? If this is after 40 years this should scare every man because all it would take is some disgruntled or jealous person from your past that wants to destroy you. How can you defend yourself? God I struggle to remember what I ate 2 days ago. I know this is kiddy fiddling which is disgusting but it could easily be rape and if you didn't know in the uk if you take a girl home, even if girlfriend she is up for fun and she has had a drink (not drunk) then later she says "I didn't want sex". The man is charged with rape. After 40 years!!!

He will probably do less than 2 years and if the 14 months in a Thai prison is taken into account he will be out in months and not years under Labour.

What a comment. Nasty, nasty person at best self hate at worst xenophobia. I am British and have 5 tattoos so I must also be one of your despicables? Well I'm privately educates and was able to comfortably retier before I was 55. Second yes, I lived and still have a house in a village and over the 8 years I lived there: 15 year old shot in the head over a girl, man stabed to death at a party for insulting a man by giving one baht to the guy singing, another stabbed to death for giving advice to a guy whose wife had left him. Just before we built our home a young lad murdered in a drug dispute. All were thai on thai murders. Oh my lawyer friend "Barrister" also has tattoos. Never judge books by their cover. In that 8 years 3 drive by shootings into thai businesses through jealousy. Two people were shot, wounded. Then there was the shootout at a club, one dead! Take off the rose coloured glasses, your not in Kansas Dorothy or is it Toto?

Just wondering, do you live in Thailand? And if you do, do you live under a rock? Thailand looks at sex differently than we do in the West! Even some hairdressers will turn a trick or two. I remember in my village a girl who just turned 16 married a Thai guy 55. People in the village thought it was good because the guy helped her parents financially. 14 an 15 year old girls often marry . The dowry paid and wedding party held. Mind you most are single again in a few years, bady with grandparents and girl off working... that's Thailand.

Or just wants it to go away. Also he may have been ordered to say that. Thai teachers are very submissive to the principle.

What nasty people on here. First, after living in Thailand for many years, often going to the beach with my wife and children and often with extended family I would never have guessed that riding a motorbike on the beach was illegal! Everytime I witnessed motorbikes and sidecars riding up and down the beach selling everything from icecream to rubber inflatables... Up and down, down and up all day long...

Those masks come in handy.

Yep. I predict a very strong $ and a growing American economy. The same as the last Trump government, but this time it will be stronger and faster than before as he knows who the snakes are. Just sad that stirling will crumble. The upside maybe Thailand might devalue the baht so exports grow and tourists come. My first trip to Thailand the baht was 75 to the £.

OMG! What dribble. I suppose it is the twisted bitter leftist in you that oozes venom from every pore! I'm a very proud Brit/Scot who would love a PM like Trump. A man who loves his country, takes no pay and has had to fight every day for the past 10 years when he could have tucked tail and lived out his life in luxury. Thailand always comes out with crazy wish lists. An 8 million or an 8 fold increase but anything is possible when you just pluck figures out of the air. Maybe Thailand should invest in it's infrastructure first. Also stop their xenophobic rants.

Definitely getting a feeling of "Dejavu"! I remember the same speculation "it will never happen" with the 800,000baht in the bank. Guess what it did. Immediately becoming part of immigration processes. I can 100% see this being added to the mountain of paperwork required to extend your visa. Like I was told over 20 years ago. Never invest more than you can afford to walk away from in Thailand and I lived by that. Yes I have a small house but I have two children (Thai/British), yes I've bought vehicles but they can be sold. After 8/9 years in 2019 I/we did exactly that "walked away". Immigration statement "its only 800,000baht" was the straw that brock the camel's back!!! Moving back to the uk was the best move ever for us. Children really blossoming in the UK.

Another biggoted/racist post! What nasty people on here. Very anti foreigner and coincidently these xenophobe's seemed to have arrived on thaivisa with the last coup (was very noticable). Why be on this site if you hate us with such venom? And, that is a serious question. Two men having a slap about, one not even bothering to get off his bike is really a non story. Foreigners tend to fight one on one where as Thais will attack on mass and do not care if the person is over 65 and as long as he/she is a foreigner. Stomping on heads is the normal. Then when two thais start to fight; knifes and guns come out in quick time. The xenophobia in Thai's disgusts me but thankfully not all Thai's are the same. Xenophobs should be careful what they wish for, no foreigners and Thailand would suffer greatly. Maybe these nasty ignorant people would like a Thailand/North Korea economy?

You obviously haven't been treated with respect and like a woman's king. It is a wonderful feeling experiencing your wife when in public treat you as the head of her family and her focus is making you happy. However, we all know that when alone the tables are turned and the wife becomes the queen or princess in your life. 18 years and we are still going strong. She spoils me and I spoil her.

What's the mixing bowl and what looks like a pestle?
