I wonder if the 36 senators calling for a ruling are the ones that were placed in the senate by the military. Just asking for a friend.

This morning all clear sky and tourism sunshine, this afternoon all tourism dark clouds. I wonder what this evening will bring? Mixed clouds and sushine?

"Furthermore, the government is implementing travel-friendly measures such as waiving the TM.6 immigration card requirement, easing entry for visitors." Let's make "waiving TM.6" permanent!!

No, No, No ... he is a total loser. A 44 year-old behaving like a teenager who was reject at the prom and now his life has come to an end. For fu*&ksakes, he only new her for 10 days on a temporary basis. 44 years-old and still doesn't know the difference between a regular girl and girl for hire. Deport him for his own good. Junior needs to get back to the nanny state where he can be looked after.

Good observation. The fact that he had enough money to pay for his transportation to the mall and pay for thinner, makes his story of "poor liitle me, I'm streesed out, I haven't eaten for a day" look like pure BS. The fact that he chose 2 innocent foreigners, who absolutely had nothing to do with his prdicament, speaks volumes. In his perverted little mind he thinks setting 2 inferior foreigners on fire, the courts will go easy on him. Set a hi-so Thai on fire he may face the death penality, IMHO, this individual should be charged with premeditated murder. I'm glad this was shown on Chinese media which, I hope, pushes the Thai authorities to charge this reprehensible individual with premeditated murder

What a joke! Even a bigger joke after viewing the video clip! Well done immigration. All Thai citizerns can now draw a deep breath of releif that all Thai boarders are protcted. I bet the person who tipped off the police was some miserable old MothF****r who couldn't stand the thought of other people having fun.

Mr. Khan is the definition of a no-hoper. Not much to dicuss here. Jail, fine and deport lifetime

"The family is also pushing for justice, with assistance from the British Embassy in Thailand to track down the driver responsible for the crash. A family representative noted, "We’re getting help to find a lawyer to pursue the case with the police." Family focus should be on getting Willie back to health. I don't think the family understand that getting money out of a broke lorry driver is like getting water out of a stone. Problem with this article is that it assumes the the lorry driver was in the wrong. No cctv footage of the accident, no police report describing the accident. Did Willie have a valid license to ride the bike? Did he have insurance? Was he retuning home after a night of drinking ans smoking weed? Was the accident a result of Willie's lack of Thai motor bike driving experience? I.e. Unaware of the common sense rule that you give way to large lorries, or cut in front of them and expect them to stop on a dime. Too many unanswered questions.

"Alex now faces charges of computer fraud and public deception. He denies the allegations, claiming his mobile phone was stolen and that he, too, was a victim." Yeah ... right. The fact you fled your residence and failed to report to the summons and now, and only now, you report that your phone had been stolen claiming victimhood. No doubt he will come up with an excuse for not reporitng his mobile phone stolen on a timely basis, that's if his phone had anything to do with the scam.

Agree. You either sell weapons or you don't. If the Swedish government interfers with the transaction for political advantage or to appease some of their local constituents, then they can kiss their weapons indusrty goodbye. Plenty of countries out there who will be more than willing to fill in the gap.

Reminds me of my trip to Rhodes Island, 35 years ago. It was a 3 week all-inclusive targeting the UK working class . We were only 4 days into the trip and the complaints started rolling in about the food. By the time Sunday came along, all that was discussed was our afternoon trip to a restaurant serving a British Roast. For many, the highlight of their Greek trip was the outing to the restaurant seving British food. I'm sure there are few Brits on this forum, who if they they were completely honest with themselves, have never really left the Ol Blighty (smile).

"Some locals defend this as a matter of business freedom. One resident remarked, "It's a free country. If you don't like the price, don't buy it."" This statement really got my attention. Ripping people off is now a business freedom ?!?! Reminds me of travelling thousands of miles to Cappadocia, Turkey to go on a balloon ride. I had pre-paid 165 USD. Four hours before the ride the operator increased the price to 250 USD. Same attitude "If you don't like it, don't pay it ... no balloon ride". I chose the refund route, most would have paid the diffierence. After this episode, it really soured my view of Cappadocia I will never recommend nor ever go back there again. This arrogant attitude of "it's a matter of business freedom, it's a free country, If you don't like the price, don't buy it" is pure BS nonsense. A sure fire way of giving Pattaya a bad reputation and helping the competition.

Illegally manufacturing small fireworks? You don't say! When you known locally as "plu look nok " it kinda gives it away. "plu (fireworks) look (child) nok (bird)". Sorry, had to laugh. What could possibly go wrong in a house full of "fireworks" operated by a "child" with an IQ of a "bird" ?? On a serious note, RIP and may this be a learning experieince.

"Fighting began between the South Asian neighbours on July 24 following weeks of tensions which had been brewing since May, when a Cambodian soldier was killed in an armed confrontation on the border. In February, a dispute over Prasat Ta Moan Thom, a Khmer temple close to the border in Thailand, intensified when Thai police stopped Cambodian tourists from singing their national anthem near the holy site." This has resulted in more than 138,000 people being evacuated from regions bordering Cambodia. On the other side, more than 20,000 Cambodians have been evacuated, according to local media. What a mess over something that most mature adults of minimal intelligence could handle. I would be embarrased to be Cambodian or Thai.

Where are all the so-called brave narcissistic, self-absorbed ticktokers? Filming the skirmishes?? Not a chance, prefer to live rent free in mummy's house and call themselves influencers.
