Inevitability in action.

She wasn't his girlfriend, this sounds like he forgot to ask the price before taking her home what sounds like multiple times. Now they're just negotiating her fee.

Yes, they're all going to look like fools when nobody takes them up on their offer of massively overpriced land in the specially selected 'foreign ghettoes'. Is it a free for all when buying land or are there special areas with extra high prices? If it's pre selected then it's going to be very interesting to see who owns the land in question.

Indeed.

I predict that nothing will change, I'd like to be wrong but I have a feeling they will all be voting for whoever has paid them.

100's of cops, TV coverage on national news and they found pretty much nothing. That says a lot.

Perhaps he dropped the passenger off at the destination before proceeding to Bangkok ????

Perhaps he's sulking or went out and got real drunk and is still sleeping it off, who knows Who cares ????

They're checking for diseases that animals catch, as the animals are not alive and this is merely meat, where is the risk? They're not using it as animal feed are they? I've never understood the hysteria about this kind of thing, maybe I'm missing something, if anyone knows I'd love to have it explained to me. Where is the danger here? I suspect it's cheap prices compared to the local market - that's the 'real danger'......

At least they sent a proxy instead of just not turning up / jumping bail.

So what?

Yes, this is why I bothered to read the story - this sounds like there's a bunch of idiots in charge. Who exactly would be going to prison here? The car driver who has no idea tha plate has been falsified by the garage? Also they appear to be targeting people who got replacement plates after losing them in floods - it sounds like this applies to a plate that's not official even though it may have the correct details on the plate. This sounds very similar to a situation at immigration where if they make a mistake - you, the passport holder is held responsible for it and fined, booted out the country, etc, etc - zero accountability for the person who made the mistake. It's pathetic.

Communism never works.

I'm pretty sure I know why they did it but we're not allowed to discuss moderation.

Interesting development, thanks for bringing this to my attention. In the past I have made extensive use of the delete uploaded attachments part of the system. I used to go in every now and again and delete them all, every single one of them - which could have been 100's of files. I wonder why has this been altered? ????

That's what I'm still wondering ????

This is a classic example of absolute corruption at every level.

Well the truth came out during the pandemic, prior to that the industry was belittled as something they didn't need, turns out it's 20% of the GDP if I remember correctly. They need it more than they want to admit.

A 45 day stamp for a couple of months (nothing but a gimmick) and a rigorous questioning on arrival if you've ever been to Thailand before just isn't going to do the job. They're picking up right where they left off before the pandemic - things were deteriorating rapidly, they had a chance to make changes but by the looks of it they didn't bother. Why are BA not flying to Bangkok? All their flights seem to be via Qatar if you take a look, something like this doesn't happen without a very good reason.

Who exactly are these people who supposedly can't afford to eat? I'm pretty sure I've never met one of them

Yep, very good so far.

The Peripheral :

This is a national disgrace

Not necessarily. I know personally of a case or two where the bad kid who's been taking yabba returns to the family house armed to the teeth with knives, etc telling his family that he's running from people who are trying to kill him and he needs to lie low They helped him until the day he asked his father why he was also planning to kill him - that's where it becomes a very dangerous situation for everyone there. When you hear of one of these crazies murdering their own family it's often because of extreme paranoia. As far as the drug addled person is concerned they're running for their lives and have enemies everywhere, which is why they end up seemingly killing random people - it's not random.

I once had an immigration officer pull out a huge magnifying glass and scrutinise my passport, he then asked me to fill out a form with all the details on the passport while not being able to look at it - I guess he was trying to catch me out ???? This was at Riga airport in Latvia long before they joined the EU. Very weird situation in an almost empty airport. There was nothing wrong with my passport either and I used it on a regular basis back in those days. Maybe they were looking for someone trying to sneak in who fit my age / profile - you never know I guess.
