Now if it was a sexy nude girl, I wonder how much outrage would be displayed on this forum. Very little I bet, other than the pixled photo of the nude girl which would not allow us wise ones to make an objective opinioin. Just saying for a friend.

"The incident occurred around 02:00 on 21 April, along a downhill stretch of road at Khao Thon in Buprahm subdistrict, Na Di district, Prachinburi province." Ok let me write that down ... road at Khao Thon in Buprahm subdistrict. Another place in Thailand where I won't go for peronal health reasons. To the best of my knowledge, flames are not conducive to healthy living

This is beyond stupidity. This individual needs to be jailed for reckless driving and disregard for puublic safety. I don't want to hear the excuse that the booze mad me do it or I was on meds not me BS.

"Mr Erik later admitted the suitcase was his, packed by a friend, and contained used clothes and Thai herbs for personal use." Total BS ... The idiot packed the case himself and was worried that the herbs were legal. Didn't know what he was buying from the street vendor. The all too familiar "Do you do anal, I'm asking for a friend".

Advanced Search Tools: Finds individuals based on specific facial features and other traits. Behaviour Monitoring: Keeps an eye out for signs of violence or physical aggression. Fine Collection and Negotiation: Under Development and soon to be released in Cyborg 2.0 My understanding is that the "Advanced Search Tools (facial recognition)" include the ability to differentiate between Foreigners and Thais. This feature is very important for police checkpoints to ensure who to pull over on the road for proper attire and documentaion investigation. "Behaviour Monitoring" includes foreign attire monitoring to ensure that Thai sensibilities and culture are not provoked. This is just as important as keepig an eye out for signs of violence or physical aggression.

"While the figures are concerning, there is a silver lining with 15 provinces recording zero fatalities, suggesting certain regions have managed to bolster road safety effectively." Let me guess Chonburi wasn't one of them. Pattaya will make sure (past, present or future) that Chonburi will never be a part of the zero fatalities siver lining.

Reporting a missing child of 11 years or under is a high priority. Reporting a missing 26 year old baby adult is not. What a waste of resources. Looking at his appearance, he coulld go far with his good looks but instead likes to play the family issues victim.

Unfortunately us law-abiding long term expats who have lived here more than 20 years have to report to immigration every 90 days or when we travel because of idiots like ths 26 yaer old . The idiot thought if he went to Phuket he could enjoy the rest of his holiday and evade the police, should have cut his holiday short and crossed one of the land borders.

I bet otherwise. Pattaya is the Monte-Carlo of South East Asia, a family resort that only attracts the welthiest of tourists, No nut-jobs here in Pattayadise, just fun-loving tourists looking for sunshine and world class beaches. If you don't beleive me, read the unbiased and fact-checked brochure from the Thailand Authority of Tourism.

This is clearly the fault of Air India for not posting clear and unambiguous signs in their business class section. if this sign had been posted, this unfortunate situation would have never have happened.

Why did they pixel out the photo? How I am suppose to determine if this was a lewd sexual act or an inspirational cinematic masterpiece worthy of a Cannes Film festival award. For me to provide an objective and unbiased opinion, I need to see this video clip at least 3 times in the privacy of my room.

Disgusting violent idividual. Thinks he owns the road and everyone should obey him. The arrogrant SOB thought he could garner favor by extending an apology through a Thai wai gesture at the police station, Jail him, make him pay a heavy fine and then give him life time ban.

With the possibility of a global recession caused by USA tarrifs resulting in trade wars, the financial success of the 2025 Sonkran festival is so far from my mind. Fortunately for the businesses involved in the Songkran festival they will not be affected from recent events. Its too soon for the melt down in the stock market and tarrifs to trickle down to the real economy.

If USA tarrifs cause a global recssion through trade wars, all bets are off. With China retaliating with a 34% tarrif against USA , this may encourage other countries to retaliate and form new economice relationships. Doesn't really matter what happens to the baht if people don't have the funds to travel due to lack of jobs and inflation. Travel may once again become a luxury expense and the first expense to be cut back.

Personally, I am now fast approaching the 75+ group. The best option I see for his father is for him to die in his sleep. In view of his age and physical condition, the best years of his life are long gone.

Just a temporary situation, for the most part life iin Bangkok is getting back to normal. People returning to their apartments and condos wit minor repairs. Soon it will be all forgoten.

"The Thai government's task is now to smartly navigate looming opportunities and threats in light of this significant US tariff challenge. In summary, the baht's facing a tumultuous path ahead, with potential to dip further if strategic measures aren't promptly deployed." This is not complex problem. A problem that even a person of minimal intelligence can solve. Reduce tarrifs against the USA and stop being stupid. Okay, just reduce the tarrifs. Stop being stupid is a big ask.

It's the Military police not the RTP that allegedly negotiated the price down. However, as stated in the article, he chose not to accompany the police (Military) but instead travel with the taxi driver to sort out the fare at Bang Sue Police Station run by the RTP. My guess is he sobered up at bit and decided it was better to deal with the flexible RTP than the military police who could add a few non-negotiable charges.

Slender twenty one year old man with a 34 year old pudgey woman from the beach. No need for a breathalyzer test, this man was drunk and I mean real drunk.

"Eventually, they informed him that police would be called to take him away. At this point, the tourist suddenly regained his composure, stood up, and walked off as if nothing had happened." Typical response from an attention-seeking, self-centered yob. Could'nt give a fu#%k about anyone but himself. Identifying himself as only American, as if he blonged to a great country and should be given respect. Only when he heard the word police did he have a light bulb moment that it was time to pack up and go home. Useless twit!

Let's see. Speeding. Check. Failure to slow down at the intersection. Check . Reckless driving. Check. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Check. Immature/ narcissistic twenty something youth. Check. Did I miss anything???

Where? This comment could only have come from an old dodger of 75 plus who doesn't get out much ... 555. I'm glad someone asked the question because although there is only one female in the photo, I too asked the same question "Where?".

U-Tapao airport , Pattaya and Jomtien have been suggested as an ideal candidates to host Formula 1 racing. Costs of constructing the racetracks should be considerably cheaper than places like South Korea. There is also chaeap accomodation for the Formula 1 enthusiasts.

"Poole's attempt to discreetly ship the luggage to Bangkok was intercepted by Thai police at Racha Pier, unveiling 165 kilograms of dried cannabis" Only 165 kilograms ... obviously this is for medical purposes. So Mr. Poole may have over reacted to the rumors of cannabis shortges, we all make mistakes. Give Mr. Poole the benefit of the doubt.

The last time I was on a train in Thailand I was stuck in 3rd class because of my lack of planning. If memory serves me right, it was overcrowded and uncomfortable. Can't imaginne how worse it would have been if stuck in a cramped train full of out-of-control narcissistic, self-centered drunks.
