If he had 10 baht in his pocket I would be surprised.

There is a solution to the problem, but Thais have trouble with the equation "2+2=" , which means things will never change.

They were shutting down the road for their impromptu road race gone wrong?

Hopefully he kept a list of the names and amounts he forwarded all the brown envelopes to over his illustrious career. Maybe someone will be tasked with sending it to the news agencies after his death.

Doesn't work near my area, people just buy large SUV's and fly over the speedbumps, they won't be deterred.

It's the actual document he is missing, not sure if the Thai IO would care about the date on it, just that he isn't married already in Australia. Either way, it's just a thought about how to appease Thai Immigration.

If he never registered his marriage in Australia, how would they know?

"Hard labour"?!?! They should all be put to death.

Will Australia issue you a new CNI (Certificate of no Impediment to Marriage)? If so, you can have that translated and stamped by MFA. Or if your marriage is registered in Australia as well, could you not show that as evidence of marriage? Though that might be a longer process getting a Apostille, and all the proper stamps.

Darwin will take care of the problem, hopefully before any of these imbeciles procreates.

Because he RTP doesn't care, nothing in it for them, the mafia doesn't work for free.

Blame the the parents too.

Which in Thai means shove it down your throat with little thought as to how it will affect anyone, then backtrack later when things don't go as planned.

The only thing luxury about Mini Coopers in Thailand is their price tag.

Wrong, my wife rents out multiple units here in Bangkok, with at least 1-2 year leases, which are usually renewed. She has absolutely no problem at all filling them, usually people are fighting to get into a unit.

They should have been given the opportunity to head to another predominately Muslim country that would take them.

Or a rival person in a brown uniform wanted to remove his competition.

You already know of one that almost happened (Mr. Gym Rat), that was my second time here where that has happened. I'm glad they both backed down, but I'd rather Mace someone then have to punch them so hard I have to worry about their head bouncing off the pavement and possibly dying on me.

Personally, I wish Thailand would just allow us to carry a can of Mace, I'm getting too old for this kind of thing.....but I still would want to end aggressive attackers as fast as possible. Knowing how bad some of the nut cases here act, and larger boozed up foreigners, the bouncers would do better to have tasers and flex-cuffs. Nobody wants or deserves to get kicked in the nuts at work, or worse.

I won't be a victim, there is no way I am letting someone come at me like that, I would have done exactly what that bouncer did. I wholeheartedly believe in ending things as fast as possible, no reason one hair on my head needs to be out of place because of someone else is attacking me, better they go down than me. This Brit came after the bouncer, he paid the price, and like Tyson once said "Everyone has a plan until you're punched in the mouth". The Brit should take it as a lesson, I would never have apologized either, he got what was coming to him.

The guy aggressively approached him, I would hit him too. The Brit learned a valuable lesson, he won't be doing that again.

Well now I know why I could here military jets screaming through the sky over my house today.

Yup, whenever governments want to "fix" things, tax is their first thought. If that doesn't work, the ole "do for the kids" approach will pull in the last of the tear jerkers and any other holdouts.

I would give the guard a raise, and send the Brit home and add his name to the blacklist.

At least not awake.
