  1. Well I give him 5 stars for trying but as we all know the kids copy their parents, and most of them do not wear helmets. Buddha will protect them anyway. I just walked down Jomtien soi 7 today and counted bikes with helmets, 80% were not wearing one and that includes foreigners . Maybe he can save a life or two, who knows, but in the end it comes down to laws and regulations. And money since certified helmets are expensive.
  2. Sure give them a 500 baht fine and back in business next week.
  3. China think they rule the world, no permits needed, just a lot of cash....
  4. So what is the truth here? Surely he must have done something more severe than just parking his car. Maybe a business deal that went wrong ? A follow up story would be nice or we are all clueless...
  5. Just a reminder to not walk outside in dark areas until daylight. And no need to bring a handbag, put your documents and money in the pockets. Be smart not stupid.
  6. He needs help back in Germany, Pattaya is not the place for suicidal candidates or people with a mental illness.
  7. Can we have a follow up story please? Will he get deported asap as he should be we can all celebrate. This is just the start of the high season and I noticed more younger guys up to no good.
  8. What people seem to forget is protein, I struggled with a back pain and my bones for years , as you get older you need more than 100-150 grams of protein instead of the recommended daily intake of 80-100 grams. Depends on your body weight. Started taking protein powder and never regretted it. My diet does not contain a lot of meat, so I really needed that extra protein boost. No pain and can train and do exercises as normal. As older you get the more protein you need to maintain the muscles and bones.
  9. Pedestrians should start wearing helmets. Especially the drunk ones.
  10. Our head and brain is the most important part of our body. Yes sounds very strange to fall like that, maybe a stroke. If you fall forward you should have time to adjust your body but who knows what happened. A few years ago someone slipped in the shower and died when the head hit the floor.
  11. Another quality tourist from Britain.
  12. They are probably Eastern Europeans, not Swedes. Immigrants.
  13. A bit misleading title, I would not call a beggar for mafia. Maybe organized Burmese beggars. But only one reported .
  14. If you want to play a game of cards in Thailand, never involve Thais, I have played poker with foreign friends inside a condo and we never made a lot of noise about it, just a friendly game and for small money. Until Thailand change their gambling laws , Cambodia is just an hour away or an even better location is Macau. But online poker is huge in Thailand, a lot of Thai players enjoy poker, so this raid is just stupid.
  15. I never understood why people need drugs to enjoy a good life in Thailand. I do enjoy a beer from time to time but I am not ready for cannabis.
  16. He don't have to run, he's famous and can afford it. Already apologized and ready to move on with his life. They just need to figure out how much 2 lives are worth............
  17. We don't hold hands in Thailand, it's a western thing. Keep the distance and be respectable to each other.
  18. Sounds like a paradise! Sign me up.
  19. I am sure you can spend your whole life in Pattaya without getting into a fight, but having a few drinks in the pub with "strangers" who can't behave can lead into sudden tragedy.
  20. Asking for someone looking for a condo deal in this area, (Naklua - Pattaya - Jomtien) up to 15k rent for a condo, with swimming pool. I am sure they can just use AirBNB but if you know any available let me know.
  21. Gang leaders with money will not be found and arrested unless they abuse people with powerful contacts. Unfortunately he will walk free after money changing hands. .
  22. No helmets, speed, drunk, 5 AM. RIP
  23. He does not look Thai to me at all. Maybe he was adopted? Or just changed his name to pretend he is a local.
  24. It's just political reasons, since Norway now earn more oil money than ever before thanks to the war. Feels like they do it on purpose. Crazy times.
  25. I hope I will be jogging at 82, I do have some heathy habits and rarely touch a drink. But I'm not a shirtless guy.
