  1. It's almost always villagers who kill straying elephants to protect their crops. Electric wires, snares, poison or shooting, take your pick, are the usual methods.
  2. I look forward to Pattaya Police announcing the prosecution of all the lorries, cars and motorcycles running with non-standard lights.
  3. Whoever wrote this article desperately needs to learn the definition of 'pioneering'.
  4. Can't see Thailand getting a GP especially if they propose yet another boring street circuit. Madrid has just been announced as the new venue for the Spanish GP from 2026 and is yet another street circuit.
  5. It was arson. Somebody poured fluid over the vehicle and set light to it. The video is on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14RCkGVJya/?mibextid=oFDknk
  6. 20% daily rate is a bargain, 50% in our village for small loans.
  7. I'd wager it's a Chinese national who wants some work done on their property and has hired a team he knows and trusts from China. What's more telling is that they are prepared to pay significantly more than the going rate for local Thai labour.
  8. My money's on at least a 5 litre bottle.
  9. Seeing the knives on sale at the local market it was more likely "This is Sparta"
  10. Yes, in Prachinburi. Happens here alot as these small tyre repair shops never seem to have a proper cage surrounding the tyre when it's being inflated.
  11. "...the man would masturbate whenever he had no customers." Sounds like some sort of rain dance.
  12. That is why sensible people inflate truck tyres that are in a protective cage.
  13. "Ms. Jantima broke down in tears and leaned on police officers for support" Were the Officers injured?
  14. Surprised the moron of a driver didn't say the curve reversed into the pickup. Always an excuse hardly ever an admission of "yes I was going way too fast".
  15. A vat hike to 15% would be a massive burden on Thailand's poorest. Those on a low income spend a higher proportion of their income on consumables so to have a sudden 8% hike would be savage.
  16. Yeah can easily happen. Can imagine him saying to himself "my 60 days must be up soon"
  17. Irresponsible dog owner and somebody with anger management problems, what could possibly go wrong. Feel sorry for the dog and chickens.
  18. "Residents are urging authorities to relocate stray dogs off the island...." A typical make it somebody else's problem response rather than tackle the problem at source and cull the packs of wild dogs.
  19. No forward facing passenger seats, no seat belts, no passenger safety cell......same old same old. Whilst this indifference to kids overall safety whilst travelling to and from school continues then this type incident will never stop.
  20. Another product of the revolving door that is the Thai penal system.
  21. Last year we complained that we had not received any mail for nearly 8 months. Two days later we had a delivery of all the missing mail. Here in the village the Thai Post service is absolutely dreadful and seems to be staffed by a lazy bunch of thieves.
  22. Elephant gave not a <deleted> for the shots fired.
  23. "The victim was rushed to Khao Chakan Hospital and subsequently transferred to Somdej Phra Yuparaj Sa Kaeo Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries around 15:00 later on November 28."
  24. <deleted> me this is the farce that just keeps giving. Nearly eight years of running and now it's announced that a 'viability study' hasn't even been completed yet. Worthless clowns every one of them.
