    Maybe criminality is a reserved occupation.

    I was thinking more of the Thai 'friend' who stands in as the owner of the company with controlling influence.

    Wonder when we'll hear about the prosecution of the Thai proxy who assisted the American in circumventing Thailand's business laws.

    The unfortunate young boy was the son of the guy who didn't lend the murderer the money he wanted.

    Last time I was in Bangkok I stopped at a zebra crossing where people were already in the road. Cars and motorbikes were driving around me nearly running into those people on the crossing. Ignorant, selfish <deleted> is how I'd describe them.

    Thailand need to own that they have some officials who appear to be involved in illegal border activities. If some of those trafficked through Thailand make it safely back into Thailand then they need to be returned to their home countries with the help of the countries Embassy if their passports are still in the hands of the traffickers.

    "...avoid favoring domestic players..." Well there's your problem.

    Seems a little harsh when many of them were kidnapped in Thailand and transported into Burma presumably with the connivance of some Thais.

    Isuzu do not make an EV lorry.

    One may assume he already knew about the oil leak but for whatever reason chose to ignore it. I wonder if gas tanks were fitted to this vehicle and if so did the installation pass the recent tests required after the school kids tragedy?

    ...or China.

    Reek from all three holes then.

    The things some disgusting <deleted> will do for money is truly sickening.

    Maybe he has no family to help take care of him and has to continue working to survive. 600 bht a month Thai pension doesn't buy you much these days.

    This is a carbon tax aimed at CO2 emissions. I'm sure a pollution tax is on the way sometime soon.

    I had somebody drive into the back of my car whilst I was waiting at a red light on Christmas Eve. The driver admitted he had been working two days straight and had fallen asleep. He handed over 400 bht to the Police and that was that as far as they were concerned. A while ago my wife was fined 500 bht for not wearing a seatbelt. Until there are proper consequences for the astonishing accident count on Thai roads nothing will change.

    On the school run this morning sugarcane burning was going on in several places. Banning burning but still allowing processing factories to buy burnt cane is ridiculous. Ban burnt cane processing and the problem will disappear overnight.

    I'd wager the victim didn't go to court and instead used threats and the dismantling of the shooters home because the court would almost certainly side with the old guy who had lived on the land for many years. When you ignore the law violence often results.

    ....and the Chinese. Advertise a free 'all u can eat' buffet and coach loads would storm the place.

    The picture in the op is a stock pic and not one of the mangy mutts at the landfill.

    "Kwanchai’s wife publicly apologised to the South Korean victim and the public, explaining that her husband was unfamiliar with the route and failed to notice the traffic light." Of course that's how it happened, and he also failed to notice the other traffic stopped at the crossing.

    My daughter has had several very good swimming teachers here in Thailand since she started at two years. She's also lucky that her school has it's own pool where all the kids have a lesson at least once a week.....outside of cool season 555. It's a shame Thailand doesn't have more large pools, maybe the high drowning stats for kids wouldn't be nearly so high.

    My own dad taught me to swim before I went to school. It's easy if you know how to teach kids to swim at a young age.

    First took my daughter for swimming lessons when she started kindergarten at 2 years old.

    Yes, for some reason the Tories allowed net immigration to spiral over two and a half times since the previous Labour Govt in 2010 and refused to increase the resources of the Border Patrol. Useless charlatans to the core.
