A Thai communicating with a Russian? In what language?

It doesn't help that a large proportion of road deaths are young males in their teens/ twenties.

Did not find any reference to a police check for DUI in the above article. What does the driver's father do?

SOP for getting rid of domestic/agricultural trash. Part of the reason Thailand's air is so toxic.

No outrage among Thai residents. I've lived here 20 years and see Thais urinating on the verge of (busy) roads every single day.

Ignorance is bliss.

54K per tooth! I've been quoted 35K in Pattaya. The dentist's main selling point was 'guaranteed for 30 years'. I declined on the grounds that I was 82.

loose / loose situation - are we talking about the Thai's elastic in his shorts?

The writer has a fine sense of irony.

It wasn't Prawit, he returned them to his dead friend's estate.

A six hour shopping spree? Long enough to sledge hammer a way into a safe? Hmn!

The officers concerned have a nice little earner by ransoming farangs' imports already. My son had to pay exorbitant duties to import a quantity of cough sweets to cope with Bangkok's toxic air.

Racism in Thailand? In Pattaya, of all places, which depends on foreigners' money for its very existence!

Have you thought about the final solution?

Actually 'Rod Stewart' which I don't mind; except at 3am.

Is there smoke without fire?

What does crypto currency look like? Can it be poured into a bag & loaded onto a pickup? I thought it only existed as figures in an online account?

They have identified him, so watching the airports/land crossings for his passport would be a good start.

Also likely; slow moving convoys of speaker vans forcing already chaotic traffic to a standstill emitting loud messages that no one can hear. We used to have the same with companies advertising their products till (most) executives (i.e. those with a brain) realised it was a pointless and infuriating exercise and had the opposite effect on sales. Stand by for plastic billboards with photos of grinning would-be politicians (AKA skimmers) being erected at busy junctions obscuring the vision of other road-users..

I feel their pain; the Swedish bar has just re-opened next door to me. Late night parties due this weekend?

How do I get a Wise card? I am a member from UK but live full time in Thailand? I use Wise to transfer 5000 UKP to my BKK bank as & when I need it?

Pensioners, for verification, check out the UKP v Thai baht rate on your frozen State pension.

Why was Joe able to grab her and the Thai speakers couldn't?

A knife to the brain could improve his selection of opponents in the next fight, especially if it served as a lightning conductor.

I've been here full time for 20 years. Like many I have suffered scams; some minor. I hope to learn from my mistakes by never revisiting the bar/city/lady again. If all potential customers did the same, the offenders would be starved of opportunities.
