Who would not know that having illegal drugs is not a good idea in SEA? IMO one would have to be pretty ignorant not to and one has to wonder if they should be let on a plane if that dumb. Always some chancer to give the cops entertainment though. Loads of the idiots go to the FMP and buy drugs from dealers that inform the cops who they sold to. The only thing I was ever really scared of while in LOS was being banged up in a scam and ending up in a Thai jail. I certainly never used illegal drugs while there.

Don't bother to help anyone

What is the success rate vs the maneuver? Have they also banned heart compressions because ribs can get broken doing that too? I always understood that the trade off was that the casualty survived, as broken ribs can be treated, unlike death. If it's become such a mine field of potential penalty for trying to save someone, perhaps we'd all be better off by not helping and just waiting for the ambulance to turn up. -

I don't think you can get sued for not doing anything unless you are a trained first aider. Had an incident long ago where I was driving somewhere with my partner and 2 nurses and came to an accident site where a m'bike rider had literally lost his head. My partner leaned out the window and yelled that she had 3 nurses with her to which we were all horrified. Luckily no one rushed up and asked us to save the biker! -

I had a recent experience of something going down the wrong way and coughing fit to bust, but I wasn't obstructed. To an observer it might have looked like I was choking. That's why we should always check by asking if they need help before doing anything physical to them. -

IF being the relevant word. Sounds to me like he didn't need help, the GF over reacted and the OP made a wrong assumption. Of course I wasn't there, so I'll never know if I'm right or not. -

IMO only if he's really obstructed. If it's just something gone down the wrong way he will make that plain, even if he can't speak properly. -

I don't see anything "bizzare" with his comments. Just saying what is reality for some. In a way he is like my father- once I was working he took off to the other side of the world ( without me ). Can't get more uncaring than that, IMO. -

IMO technology doesn't change anyone, it just allows people to say things they'd never say to someone they could say. Eg I can say how I feel about women without being crucified, or burnt at the stake. However some technology is really bad like, IMO, social media, which allows the worst in people to influence the weak minded. If I had children I'd never let them have a smart phone as they might get bullied on it and kill themselves ( worst scenario ), but seems an awful lot of kids get traumatised because their parents give them smart phones. -
Phayao is nice. Loved driving around the lake on the m'bike. Close to loads of nice day trips in the hills. Plenty of restaurants along the lake to suit all tastes. Quiet town, no farangs to speak of.

Snap. I too went to NASA. Amazing place full of Thai kids drinking Johnny Walker. Only went because a group of female colleagues from Saudi met up with me quite by chance in Bkk and wanted to go to a club. Just asked a taxi driver to take us to one and he went there. https://bk.asia-city.com/nightlife/article/history-clubbing-bangkok Nasa (Ratchada) Back before the new age restrictions were imposed by the government, the majority of clubbers were aged under 20. But NASA was designed to provide late-night entertainment for the 20-something crowd. The venue’s design took its cues from the space race to which it owed its name: a huge hangar complete with smoke machines, flashing lights and a sound system blasting dance hits. It was capable of packing in some 4,000 partiers a night.

Did you not see where the OP said " No bogans, chavs or wannabes."? However, I always stopped at Pai on the bit of road where honeymooners can get their photo taken in front of a big heart thing. Great scenery and lots of nice restaurants. I only made the mistake of going through the area the bagpackers hang out once- the horror the horror.
