Carefully planned Knife Attack in the place where a crowded place... Reminds me of another similar case that took place in Northeast Asia 16 years ago. I presume if the same happened here, it will turn out like the below footage.

A food delivery rider suffered a personal nightmare when a customer refused to pay for a KFC order, ...a customer had refused to pay for a KFC order worth 850 baht... ------------------------------------------------------------------- To the people working for $1/each delivery, it is certainly a Nightmare... I don't spend 850 a day unless I travel to the other areas in Thailand or buy some gadgets.

Saving Hard Worker's Day. Puzzling story with the heart-warming end. Salute to the kind officers.

You mean the Ghost is Bodyless. But not Tasteless?

Another story like this?

Apart from VietNam, Is the cost of stay(living) in the Philippines really lower than in Thailand?

Maybe not so much for the tourists(short term visitors staying only 7-10 days). But for expats, it still is. When we come to know more about this place, we can find out more options to reduce the needless expenditure in our daily life. Frequenting local diners instead of the establishments for the foreigners. Buying daily commodities at the public local market instead of the big supermarkets.; their veggies and fruit are lot more expensive than the local market. Short-term travelers just don't have enough time to learn these things. That is why they usually spend more money(cost of ignorance) for the goods and services. Also because of the holiday makers' psychology, they are often willing to expend more while outside their daily life.

Since my settlement here, I have witnessed quite a few not-so-rich people are carrying supposedly pricy High Brand bags (e.g. Gucci).

In terms of Quality of the services, Thailand can never match Japan. Being one of the world's safest nations. Extremely low rate of murders/robberies. No terrorists' bombing cases(after 1970s). Nationwide safe, fast, and reliable public transportation system. No Rip-off Taxis. Super-clean, tasty, and often very affordable food menus... Dark side is, Heaven to the Customers, Hell to the Workers. They are constantly demanded to exercise Perfection at work for a lot lower pay than most of the 1st World: Their minimum wage is still well below $10/hour. And average 30000/year suicide cases among their declining population.

Vegetarian Festival. Despite its peaceful elegant name, some of the rituals look pretty gruesome... Firecrackers are going off in their faces...

Examples: list of the countries prostitution is legal - Google Search Hope this answers you question. Disclaimer: Some of them are still in the state of the 3rd World.

To prevent such a disaster, there should be a mandatory regular inspection by the govt agency. But for that, operators will have to put the cost of travel up(to cover their expenses for better maintenance). Will it end up as the typical case of Big Voce, Small Action?

Also good for the better transparency of the law enforcement here. If cops can extort those in that industry, they are just like mobsters in uniform.

Voices suppressed for decades are now heard in an open space. Certainly a Landmark Move in Thai history. Good Luck.

LOL. Legalization=Their under-the-table income is gone. (Partial) End of the Police Story from the dark side. Better Money than Reduced Workload, from their perspective.

Before I get my Retirement O, I used to rely on Tourist Visa(from Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Lao). Back then, I always travelled by bus. Sometimes, the driver advised passengers to stay away from the vehicle during the refueling(natural gas) stop; precaution against possible explosion. Every time I hear that, I grabbed my stuff and dashed out of the cabin immediately. And watched how it goes from at least 100m away... Later, a friend of mine(retired Thai engineer) told me that that it could happen only when the fuel system is ill-fitted.

Legalization of prostitution in this kingdom. Means this country One Step Closer to the 1st World Standard. Only If It Comes True.

Exactly. From the time of beginning (in May), headlines were made by the empty barks of the tax chief; his own delusion/wishful thinking alone. As of now, absolutely no guidelines of any sorts released from any sources. Thai Embassy still announces on their website: Foreign Retirees Pay No Income Tax ( as they are not allowed to work/run business in Thailand). Do retirees pay income tax? | ThaiEmbassy.com And look at its date:9/27.2024. It means their advice is Still Current. If you are retirees who can't work here, don't ever be fooled by those accounting firms(very eager to take advantage of the expats' anxiety: Charging hefty fee for their pointless/useless consultation). They don't know what is really going on either.

BOT's intervention to lower THB. It means the cental bank sold their currency THB in the currency market. Does anyone ever know the rough amount they actually sold? According to yesterday's BKK Post, amount of Thailand's Foreign Exchange Reserve in August this year was:$262 billion. Bangkok Post - Central bank intervenes in baht's exchange rate That is one of the reasons behind strong Bahts. Regarding foreign exchange reserve, This kingdom is ranked 15th of the world(in July 31 this year). US was the No.13.

The Ministry of Interior and the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) have announced plans to withdraw military forces from Thailand's southernmost provinces by 2027, transitioning the responsibility for public safety to local volunteer forces. ...the government might reassess the plan if the security situation does not improve... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even now, so easy to predict things won't be any better; only get worse than now. Professional army will be replaced with poorly trained amateurs? Sounds like a lunacy itself.

By DNA analysis. If the family member can bring in items like tooth/hair brush the dead child used while alive. By comparing the sample from each(burnt body and bodily tissues left on the goods used during their life).

You seem to be so cranky. Most adult foreigners know prostitution is illegal here. But commonly seen in Pattaya and some other parts of major cities. Another man and myself only joked on that. And did it prove you bad? Can't help as it was quite unpredictable.

You have no sense of humor, don't you?
