A democratically elected Government might help allay tourists' fears of visiting a country ruled by the military?

'Thailand launches second edition' - I missed the 1st; remind me. Does this 'responsibility' include Thais who slash & burn thousands of acres on a twice-a-year basis? Who fondly allow packs of wild dogs to pollute their sois & bring down motor bikes with fatal consequences? Are the police encouraged to take black-smoke emitting vehicles off the roads? I thought not!

'One Piece' - pirates with superpowers thanks to CGI - it's fun. Thankfully 'Justified' has finished with Raylan hanging his badge up. The final 3 minutes contain great news. 'Hell on Wheels' is feeding my Western thirst from way back - 5 series. 'Wheel of Time S2' is back & 'Foundation' S2. 'The Winter King' S1 set in 5th Century England might fill the gap till the next Vikings series. One of my favourite writers, Harlan Coben, now has a production company in his own name (directed by his wife) - the latest is 'Shelter'.

and not Thais.

I'm always amazed at the number of officers in these operations. It is possible to go weeks without seeing ONE during the day hence the continued carnage on the roads.

Her personal qualities include; having q wild imagination; an unhealthily optimistic nature; a problem with basic Mathematics AND she has her own rose-coloured spectacles.

Police action in Sattahip is a rare thing unless they smell baht.

Yet more evidence that Thais view dogs' lives as more important than humans'. All stray dogs should be humanely removed. Lots of people wander about still masked up yet see nothing wrong with piles of dog dirt on EVERY soi; gallons of dog urine deposited every minute. This country is sixty years behind civilised countries in this respect.

Nice to see how cheerily the Pattaya Security view this incident.

are illegal sea-food restaurants on the beach side of Walking Street; protected from the law far longer than the tree has been growing.

Don't hold your breath; who would decide to spend a holiday on a building site?

They must be the busiest workers in Pattaya!

Maybe the new double-decker tour buses could be persuaded to run at night allowing passengers to photograph/video the running battles between the police and local gangs?

Scenic photos of mass brawls at Bali Hai; nothing else of note happens till after dark when the buses don't run.

Luckily the condo owner had renewed his Insurance policy last week.

and financial records which will determine the charges.

Are these TAT figures? If so, take them with a pinch of salt.

8 years is not long in a country's history.

He should change his lawyer or his mindset.

Official Phuket airport taxi refused my Google Map printout; drove round 'looking for' my hotel till the meter read 500 baht. The return journey took less than TWO minutes! Never been back.

Not only her ordeal.

An absolute scandal. Oz should immediately enforce high tariffs on all Thai imports and set the drug sniffing dogs to work on all exports to Thailand.

TAT see nothing through their permanently rose-coloured spectacles. You only get a job with them if you are rubbish at Maths and have a lurid imagination.

The place is a dump. Foreign tourists can't buy a coffee without have a Thai telephone app on their phone. Any emails in English are routinely ignored. The ban on photos/videos of landing/take-off are ludicrous; have the security conscious admirals not heard of Google Maps?

Until it gets a police force.
