This self-absorbed piece of sh&t knew exactly what he was doing. Send a message from the toilet where there is no surveillance. Hope they find the culprit and jail hm for a long time. The high costs incurred from these escapades will be eventually passed down to the consumers.

I take it you are not a fan of the helmet wearing brigade. People just don't understand the imprtance of hair integrity, right? No one should be forced to wear a helmet after going the hair salon.

Googled "epilepsy alcohol" and this is what came up. "Should I drink alcohol when I have epilepsy? Drinking small amounts of alcohol is unlikely to make you have more seizures. But heavy drinking over a short space of time (binge drinking) can make you more likely to have a seizure." Young, impulsive, epilepsy, alcohol, no travel insurance .... what could go wrong? Being 29 years old, and old enough to know better, he decided to abandon his friends at the club for better pastures. One commentator posted on one of the UK articles that his nan has money. If true then the family should consider taking out a loan. As for myself, I don't want to pay for someone else's mistakes and likewise I don't expect other people to pay for my mistakes which unfortunately are many.

I haven't owned a vehicle in 18 years. Public transit, bolt and walking are my preferred modes of transport. Liberation from the stresses of vehicle ownership and never looking back. True, there is the convenience and, to some, the status of owning a fancy car but if a person of the opposite sex values prized possessions ... keeping on walking. You are meant for someone else not me. Just saying.

There is always a first time! Most of the Asean News forum community are on the same page. No one is getting fooled that a lot of these so-called highly skilled nomads are lying on their visas. Embasies are getting flooded with applicants seeing this visa as an easy way to work in Thailand illegally.

"Police have reportedly engaged with the man before, taking him to his embassy, but he refused consular help, resulting in his continued street dwelling. His behaviour towards those offering help has been described as inappropriate, deterring further personal intervention from some individuals." Little sympathy for this obnoxious repeat offender taking advantage of people's good nature. Does nothing and expects the universe to provide. Doesn't surprise me in the least that the Thai authorities don't want anything to do with him. Too much expense, too much paper work. Better to let this individual die. No loss to the world, It's his choice.

In an escalating border dispute with Cambodia, Thailand's military has declared readiness for a "high-level operation" to counter any breach of its sovereignty. Does "readiness for a "high-level operation"" mean in military speak "hurry up and wait". Wake me up when this life and death situation is over.

The spill, resulting from a pipeline leak connected to the vessel, began at 12:54 a.m. and continued for approximately 30 minutes. The total volume of oil spilled is estimated at 10 cubic metres (10,000 litres). Where did they buy the pipeline? Lazad clearance sale? One week warranty?

Hmmm .... are things really that bad in Thailand or are we getting a little conerned about getting old in a country without medical isnurance and not able to speak the language. Or for Brits it may be a simple problem of their pension cheques being frozen in time without cost of living increases, not a Thai problem. Most retirees lead a sedentary lifestyle and don't go out late at night, in unfamiliar areas, and expose themselves to unforeseen dangers. Just saying.

Grinning idiot, all smiles and not a care in the world! Police frowning and totally pissed off at wasting their time on this frickin Romeo shacked up with his 21 year old play thing and scared about his wife in Sakhon Nakon catching up with him. A few slices short of a loaf, I rest my case. I don't know if he will be still smiling if he is unfortunate enough to meet up with one of his girlfriend's or wifes's "brothers".

English text and a house design spray painted on a Thai historical site. What was this Foreigner thinking about when he did this ? This question is based on the assumption he was thinking at all which I doubt very much. Total self-absorbed narcisslstic loser. Fine, jail and deport him with a life-time ban.

No doubt in my mind that our 59 year-old Brian is short a few slices of a loaf. Just look at his photo, does he own a comb? Joking aside, everything reported in this article points to an unstable individual unable to make logical decisions.

Give me a break! Give me a break! Kerry must have been completely wasted not being able to navigate these steps. I've seen retiress 20 years older than our nanny-state kerry navigate these steps with ease. What's there to investigate????

Sign of the times. As China is now the undisputed economic power house in the region, it comes to no surprise that South East Asian countries are fighting for this lucrative market. Go to the Ratchadamari Big C or Siam Pharmacy in Bangkok and both places are swarming with Chinese tourists buying stuff to take home. 10,000+ baht purchases the norm. Unfortunately as a westerner this makes us less important.

"This unfortunate episode underscores the perils of online bookings, reminding travellers to exercise heightened caution and conduct thorough checks before proceeding with any transactions. For the Loaders, the holiday was both a nightmare and a valuable lesson in diligence." I strongly disagree with the statement "valuable lesson in diligence". The whole purpose of using an online booking agent is that they do the due dilligence so you don't. The only due dilligence required by the Loaders family was to select a reputable online booking agent which they did. I had a similar situation with Booking.com where i took a taxi to the accomaodation which haad been closed for some time. As a standard practice, I had purchased a sim card at the airport. I immediately reported my situation to booking.com and started looking for an accomodattion close by on their site. I found a place cheaper than the one I originally booked and carted my stuff on foot. I had to fend off all the vulture taxi drivers who wanted to be my best friend (smile). It was a few days before I was contacted by bookig.com and to be honest I can't remember what the outcome was. I believe they gave me a 10% discount on my next booking,. Considering I paid next to nothing on the original room, from my calculations 10% of nothing is nothing... 555. The main difference between me and the Loaders family was that I was travelling alone "cheaply" and without kids .... big difference.

Jail and interrogate by all means necessary until he informs on his associates. Forget the BS that machines were his. No financial institution would ever allow an ATM leasing company to tamper with their machines. With all the equipment in his room and he had the audacity to think that the police were dumb enough to beleive he was just opening the ATM machine. Zero sympathy for this hardened criminal. He knew exactly what he was doing and needs to be made an example of with a lenghty jail senetence.

"Airing their findings, Channel 7 included a scene where a concerned citizen implored the police to take action, stating, “the alley is already full.” "The alley is already full" said the Thai lady of the night. This illegal job is reserved for Thais. Where is the job protection, as one may reasonably ask. May I suggest a 46% tariff on Vietnam imports.

It appears Carlos made huge mistake! Should have let the security guards take Isak (other Australian) to the police. Carlos should have never have identified himself as manager. Just aking for immigration problems. Just not worth it even if he was in the right.

"The deception often exploits a common misunderstanding surrounding Thailand’s drug laws. Since the decriminalisation of cannabis in 2022, many tourists are misled to believe that all drug use and possession might be similarly tolerated, which is far from the truth." "misled to beleive" are the key words. People, especially young people without life experience, will convince themselves that the risks are low compared to the rewards. They will beleive what fits their narrative. How can one turn down a FREE holiday at luxury hotel and all drinks and drugs included? Here are some other key words thay should consider "there is no such thing as a FREE meal".

"The decision aligns with a broader international trend. Norwegian retirees in Thailand must prepare for direct compliance with Thai financial requirements going forward." Compliance, compliance, compliance ... I hate that word as it usually means that I have to do something I don't want to do. Unfortunately, it's the sign of the times ... as one person posted "it was good while it lasted"!

From all the articles written about this case, this is an arrogant dispicable individual. My hope is that the rumors are true that he has left the country and a warrant of arrest is in place to ensure that he will not return. I never want to bump into someone like him. The furhter the way he is from this country the better!!!

Would you like to provide us with some examples of BS provided by the lefties (your words not mine)?

"Sanguan Jungsakul from Krungthai Bank highlights the baht's unique position, appreciating rapidly due to short-term speculative flows rather than solid economic fundamentals." I agree with the above statement. So much speculation worlwide, not just Thailand. A lot of investors trying to diversify their currency holdings to mitigate losses caused by the US tariffs. No one wins in a trade war, It's a matter of who loses less. Something a Maga Trump supporter will never understand until it's too late.

A complete loser. You ask what is wrong with this loser? Answer: About everything. Recommendation: Fine, jail and deport him with a life-time ban. Considering his age, he simply cannot be rehabilitated. A real no-hoper.

"whereas Eireannach from Iceland had remained in Thailand 15 days past his visa expiration." Hmmmm ... most porbably a young man whose has a problem with punctuality. IMHO, a bit of stretch saying that his lack of timekeeping skills is a threat to the safety and security of the kingdom. Just saying 😂.
