What's the odds that the victim ends up in prison and/or sued for 'defamation' and forced to remain in Thailand for years while it goes through court?

Yes, the model I had used some kind of 2 piece transmitter and receiver which both took AAA batteries - worked well for about 12/13 years.

I bought some TDK wireless headphones in Bangkok back in about 2010, they recently broke as in physically snapped due to wear and tear, notably they still work. Anyway I bought a new set and will do so again rather than salvage old junk.

Oh really? How do you know that you've never had Dengue?

This is the second police facility to go up in flames recently, that I know about. Maybe there's more, who knows.

Right, zero experience of government but he wants to go straight in at the top. He's going to fit right in here then.

They're there but there's also plenty of things hiding just out of sight waiting to eat anything that moves.

They don't really earn very much do they? I spend more than all of them on general shopping each month ????

Did he get a 'yellow card'? I would love to see a photo of this so called yellow card.

But China said it would send the tour groups, what happened?

In a long list of incredibly dumb things that I've read online recently, this is the dumbest of them all. Don't forget - we're all tourists even if we've been here a very long time. On a diplomatic level immediate reciprocity should be introduced around the world. There's no way countries will accept the inevitable torrent of deportation for misdemeanours without retaliation. Also, they're going to notify the Embassy for a yellow card? What? Why? The Embassy aren't going to give a shi.

Which drug?

Not for long.

I'd definitely leave the airport and check in to a hotel pretty quickly

I suspect it's going to come down to one thing only, the number of flights operating in and out of the airports. That's what determines the number of arrivals.

So it looks like waste water, smells like waste water but apparently it's not waste water? Yeah right

I'm going with yes.

Neither could I and I've been there a couple of times. You get in a taxi then get out when it arrives - who cares about the rest.

Indeed, I've read about cases where people have jumped from balconies into swimming pools and to put it bluntly, they missed the pool. At this stage we have no idea why they're not paying up, would be nice to have some additional information.

Yes, once I lost a mobile phone and because I didn't report it within the required 24 hours all cover for said phone was null and voided and that was the end of that. All was above board though and the insurance company did an honest job there ????

I'm going to guess that there's some kind of exclusion involving either an unsafe building or alcohol consumption. I'm hoping it's due to the balcony not being high enough, at least there might be someone to sue. I've heard that some insurance policies will deny any claim if you've got any detectable alcohol in your blood. Considering a lot of people like a drink or two when on holiday that kind of negates the usefulness of the policy for what might be a large percentage of the persons stay. One glass of wine might be enough to negate your insurance. Buyer beware. Time will tell I guess.

Anyone can buy anything they want in the UK, there's no limits and nobody cares. You don't have to step foot in the country to do it either. I read about a case involving an ex politician who bought/sold a property which was owned by a company in the Virgin Islands, the transaction was completed by selling the holding company so no stamp duty payment was required, caused quite the scandal a while back. It's a free for all and always will be. Maybe they want to keep the Russians out but they definitely want their money. Ah yes, I looked it up - it was Tony Blair and a 6.5 million pound office building owned by a Bahraini Minister through a British Virgin Islands company, lol - they're all at it. Why would they ever stop it?

Why do you think he didn't have insurance? They don't want to help, that's the message I read. I wonder who his insurer is and why they're dragging their heels on paying?

No, take cash or they can deny entry.

Yes, they lie, we've all seen this reported before - it's nothing new.
