  1. Unless they are busted and prosecuted by someone stronger than them. As demonstrated after the end of WW2.
  2. municipality clarified in a statement on Saturday that no such permission had been granted for religious activities on public property due to the sensitive nature of the issue. This decision follows a letter from the Thai Friends of Palestine Club addressed to the Phuket governor. The club expressed opposition to the potential Israeli celebrations, warning that it could spark unrest in the region. They argued the event would contradict Thailand's stance on Israeli actions in Gaza and potentially escalate tensions in the Muslim-majority area. Reasonable concern. Thailand doesn't want a new ethnic conflict on their soil. They already got the issue of the Muslim separatists in their deep south regions(Yala, Pattani, Naratiwat).
  3. If he simply made a wai to the driver, and walked away fast, calmly, nothing would not have happened there. I suspect that pedestrian was drunk. And alcohol quite possibly served a trigger to unleash his arrogant nature of short fuse.
  4. Causality of the recent tourist arrival downfall?
  5. A painful "lesson" to that mature age European man. Learning one simple principal of the universe at 55: Anything goes around comes around...
  6. Conflicts often break out at the same level, or among the same kind?
  7. In the "world class family-frjendly tourist resort" as TAT often insists?
  8. The driver punched Nikolai in the face, causing him to collapse and lose consciousness upon hitting the ground. Was that driver a boxer before? Looks like quite a hard puncher, knocking out a big man with one single hit.
  9. This altercation started as Nikolai attempted to cross a street outside a South Pattaya restaurant, not using a zebra crossing. The Bolt driver honked to alert him, leading to a confrontation after the Frenchman reportedly struck the driver’s car. Although initial contact seemed to have ended peacefully, Nikolai allegedly hit the car again, prompting the driver to respond violently. Looks pretty much like self-inflicted; paying the price of his aggression. That foreigner disregarding traffic law, in the first place. Thai driver first warned him in a reasonably gentle manner. But that 55 yo westerner reacted offensively twice. No wonder that Bolt driver got upset and struck back physically. If he earns his living with own car, it is something he values so much; an essential trade tool. And the stupid rude alien badly provoked him, banging his vehicle more than once. I more sympathize with that driver, getting into trouble because of that foreign idiot.
  10. Unworkable plot. Promptly busted at sight. Better say criminal idiocy instead.
  11. "he’d already handed ten million baht to his Nakorn Nowhere sweetheart, the kind of “investment” plan that usually ends with the lady disappearin’ with her Thai husband " Kind of common scam here, isn't it? Every one of the expats would know about him if have been here long enough.
  12. If so, he must have been too impatient to wait for the bank to open after the day breaks.
  13. Indian(man). Gold necklace. TG prostitute. Pattaya Triangle.
  14. "Sijtse reportedly said he had previously given his Thai wife more than 10 million baht to open a restaurant and support their household. He claimed a "recent argument over insufficient funds prompted him to drive out and commit the theft" He turned out to be just as stupid as his wife. 10 million baht is the huge amount(over USD 310000). Seemingly more than enough for starting a small diner in provincial town. And carried out ATM heist for the greater budget, without second thought? "by using the pickup, belonging to his wife’s relative, to drag the ATM away from the front of the shop" Did he/his wife tell its owner what it is used for when borrowing that car?
