Just alot of chest beating. Cops are far too lazy to check thousands of foreigners not to mention language issues. It'll blow over very quickly especially with Songkran booze up looming. The Swiss kicked the wrong Thai. Unless he shells out the cash she may actually get him booted out. If money not an issue -and she is a doctor on a good salary- farang big problem. The creepy wife threatining to kill her with no consequences doesnt help.

Tuk tuks and taxis: Bangkok’s solution to overcharging crisis
Thonburi-tales replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Seal of Trust sticker. lol Absolute classic Thailand 101. Dont seriously address the issue just hand out awards and medals to honest(sic) drivers. Same with work safety. Just put stickers/posters on boats or buildings with a hard hat image and thats good enough;!!! -

South Korean YouTuber sparks tuk tuk fare controversy in Thailand
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Tuk tuks are death traps on 3 wheels. Theyre not legal transport nor are samlors. Pay the cops. Even motorbike taxis are illegal. I think it was PM Thaksin who made them all wear a numbered vest. Making Thais display the fare to tourists is absurd. Will never happen. 30b or 40b for long trips(for locals) is not for tourists. They do it Laos. A samlor driver came up to me with the fare table on cardboard backing and i started laughing. He didnt appreciate it. -
Swedish Man Arrested for Exchanging Counterfeit Money in Patong
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Assuming of course the cops arent gambling or engaged in activities at a local brothel. The corner booth near my place is supposed to have bike cops but you rarely spot them thesedays. They never do any traffic enforcement. Cops are lazy in LOS. -
How did he manage to do all that? Was she sitting on his lap facing him? Its possible considering shes a lonely 37 y/ old wandering around after midnight.

I would have thought every American male has a rap sheet for gun offences and unruly behaviour. Goes without saying in Texas doesnt it. 6000b for a night in a provincial hotel??? jesus I pay that per month for a two storey home just over the river from Chinatown. Thailand is a 3rd rate tourist destination that charges 5 star prices. I havent been down to Pattaya or Phuket in over 20years. Overated dumps full of old farang and dirty cops.

Even staff at the metro electricity and water boards can get cheap home and car loans. The whole system of governance is rotten. Shopping malls still give credit to people buying tvs and a/c. Alot of Thais make a few repayments and quit. Ive seen thais pack up the truck with personnal valuables then the kids and drive out of the soi at 4am turn left and never to be seen again. Happens everyday in Bangkok. Never loan money to Thais.

For a rando cop to rise through the ranks as fast as he did it must of cost atleast 20million baht. Apparently hes got wealthy family based in Los Angeles. These Thai cops are so corrupt its pointless trying to reform a system that is steeped in tradition. Big Joke has obviously stepped on the wrong toes on his rise up to BBB stardom. Hes been in serious trouble on and off for several years now. Should of stayed in the USA and picked fruit with Guatemalans.

Thailand braces for intense heat with temperatures soaring
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No problem in Bangkok. My electricity bill was only 570b last month might be even less this month. Didnt even use the fan last night. Hardly use a/c over past 8-9 months. Much cooler in BKK. F##k the coastal towns. Havent been to the beach in many years and im an aussie. -
Thaksin has just as many poweful enemies as friends but he plans ahead. He knew this was coming. He's in the billionaire Bangkok elite club. Case dismissed due to lack of evidence or just a misunderstanding. Isan peasants and dark southerners go to prison. Bangkok elite go shopping at Siam Paragon and have a 30k lunch at Ho Kitchen. TIT

Unruly British man goes berserk on Bangkok-London flight (video)
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yep, for years the British have been lustful for katoey here in Thailand. Alcohol has completely adled them. That poor flight attendant should sue that P.O.S bar knob. THAI should also sue for damages. Doesnt he own a shirt. Pretty cold in the UK in Feb. <deleted> idiot. -
Health ministry’s alcohol curfew talks hit a hiccup

",..,alcohol curfew talks hit a hiccup.." yeah, very clever brilliant play on words. The BP really are a class act. -
New Govt Tourist Insurance to Cover Deaths and Accidents
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
50 million baht is nothing. Would barely cover a few hundred tourists killed or injured in motorbike accidents. The key is tourist visas only. Most tourists dont have a visa but simply a stamp in passport on arrival especially high risk tourists like the British and Russians. This PR stunt will not stop the Brits appearing on Go Fund Me. No chance. Carry on! -
German tourist’s night out in Pattaya turns into nightmare
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Probably because thats where he met her. Shes likely one of them. Thousands of farangs have married gogo girls and shipped them back to Europe. Alot of them are still married to a Thai. -
German tourist’s night out in Pattaya turns into nightmare
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
You obviously dont live in Thailand. Hundreds of farangs have been killed here in the 20 years ive lived in BKK. And middle aged foteign men do not have legitimate girlfriends particularly in a dump like Pattaya. Theyre bar girls, soi walkers and internet sloths.. If youre a troll posting o/seas go away and do something else. -
Myanmar businessman killed over black money deal in Bangkok
Thonburi-tales replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
They'd have to move fast straight to Cambodia crossing. Taking a risk going through immigration because computers move alot faster. They could bribe someone to take them over the border but that can take time. Laying low in BKK probably the way to go. I reckon they'll get clipped.
