"The government has offered an explanation about a Chinese tourist who was under the impression that Bangkok would be hosting continuous water fights during the Songkran"...... he's a moron.

Druggies who will sell the copper wire at the recycling plant to fund their habit. A friend had his home broken into when he was on a trip back to Aus. All the wiring was pulled off the walls, as was all the visible plastic water pipe. Even the wooden staircase was dismantled for the wood and metal joining plates. Turns out it was the druggie in the house next door who sold all the recyclables for cash.

Nam Sattahip, now with added protein.

My daughter's family paid over £5000 for 5 EVA tickets for their fortnight in Thailand this month. Didn't stop them coming but the cost certainly made them consider alternatives.

If opinions in our village are any guide his comments are spot on. PT are going to be held to account for their duplicity make no mistake.

Few drones with tanks full of cypermethrin is the usual solution.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hanratty Appears he was guilty.

Years.... agreement was first signed 6 years ago.

Pathetic photo exercise for Paramilitary wannabes.

"The loss of control that led to the crash may have been due to mechanical issues" Yeah, the nut on the end of the throttle.

All protesters are equal but some are more equal than others.

When I was a kid Ernestine was on Rowan & Martins Laugh-in

"Another victim, 20 year old Wachirawit was found unconscious after being beaten" Odds on it was a kicking.

Have to agree with that. Wonder if they'll be registering the one in our village for tax purposes?

It's a start but casino's will most likely be in the big tourist resorts. What about the small gambling dens run by the BIB catering for the rural population?

Yeah, £1,800,000 for EACH of the first 300 refugees....absolute bargain isn't it.

It's not 'Brexit Nonsense'. Before Brexit there was a returns agreement with the EU whereby boat illegals could be returned to France. There is no such agreement now that the UK has 'taken back control'.

Thai declines are different.

100k USD not Baht.

There is a process to assess asylum claims and to allow or refuse entry to the UK. The Conservative Govt has been in charge of the country for well over a decade but has steadfastly refused to invest in the screening process allowing such a huge backlog of claims to build up.

Genuine Asylum Seekers are not illegal immigrants. Illegal Immigrants do not have a right to remain or claim any benefits and the current mess is squarely on the present Conservative Govt who have been in power well over a decade but have done little to solve the problem of illegal migration. The Brexit debacle has compounded the whole sorry mess.

People in the UK without a legal right to be there are not entitled to claim any benefits.

Faster, certainly but better? If they are better why is the accident and death rate here amongst motorcyclists so horrific?

This road was begun in 2014 and is still not opened. It was opened for a few days over New Year then closed again. Trees are growing out of various sections of the concrete work and for anyone at the Kanchanaburi end it's turned into a bad joke.

"allow Thai passport holders visa-free access to the United Kingdom on short-term visits for tourism or business." Thai tourists aren't living in the UK so my take is all Thais will be eligible for 30days visa free.
