Terrifying Moment! Parents and Children Inches from Death Under Elephant’s Belly
I did the same 25 years ago in Nong Nooch Garden in Pattaya. We were young(er) and stupid !!! When I now see people doing the same I shake my head and tell myself "There was a time you also were such a fool" 🙃 😉

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
I did this once about 15 years ago in Nakhon Si Thammarat. I said to my (ex) GF and her family, "OK guys, you enter the park and have a nice time, I will stay outside and wait for you." Which I did! Of course, the family could not understand, as they all thought I was a Rockefeller member. I could easily afford the entrance fee, but for me, it's all about the principle!

British Man Tells Story of Life in Bangkok Prison in New Book
The one that impacted me was "The damage done". I read it twice in 2 weeks about 20 years ago. It was about 3 Aussies also smuggling drugs. Another one I read was in Dutch about an Amsterdam taxi driver who fell for a client's promise in his cab: " Bring 1 small package to Bangkok, and you are rich." He got caught at the airport in BKK and also spent many years in prison. After several years, he was released due to a royal pardon. After he returned to Holland, he changed his life in a better way. He started touring Holland to schools and other places, telling and teaching the youth to NOT do stupid things like he did in the past...

How do you deal with requests for money .
But that's exactly the problem! In case you give money to the (poor) family, you do NOT know if they spend it carefully or not, whatever your wife or g/f tells you! In my 30 years in LOS, I've seen enough... In most places where you come in "poor Isaan", they know only ONE thing : ALCOHOL ! That's where the money is going! So for me, not being a "rich" farang, I will not "help" them with spending the money on beer, whiskey, Lao kao, etc... I help my g/f and her 12-year-old daughter who stays with us. My g/f has a job, and with that money she "takes care" of Mom and Dad. 😉

Pol Gen Torsak to become Thailand’s next top cop
Seems YOU are a joke mate. It's NOT his job to convict criminals, he only has to CATCH them and the judge will decide what to do with them ! Which he did on a regular base, like murderers, thiefs, robbers, rapers etc..... All over Thailand. Everywhere he intervened all over LOS, he solved the issue in a short time frame and local police commanders were sacked for doing NOTHING about the cases, probably because there was no money involved in those cases, especially in poor places in the country side. I NEVER read anything about him taking brown envelopes. ????
