That's not enough. He has to be gay too, and there usually has to be a lesbian couple as well, and a white/coloured marriage in there somewhere, otherwise there is usually no funding given to make the series. At least, that seems to be the case in the UK. Often applies to the commercials too. Americans have to include a person of Asian appearance. It gets a bit tiresome being constantly preached to by example. As for the original post, you take pleasure from very weird and unhealthy things, deliberately and intentionally making people feel bad. What a thoroughly unpleasant person you must be.

Article also says: Unfortunately, the balcony railing was loose and Sa fell to the ground in the car park. I guess you didn't read that far.

After hearing about the shocking incident, the woman said she ran back to the grocery store and found the suspect Thai man naked. No help from the police, no help from the embassy, a bizarre claim from the mother about a naked man in the shop? Something very odd about her claim.

If you bothered to read the linked report.... According to Mina, the Thai man had unplugged the shop’s security camera before committing the crime.

None of what you write matters. Three thugs beat up a tourist in an argument over 100 baht. End of.

According to Anusorn, he picked up his passenger, a tourist from Saudi Arabia, at the corner of Soi Sansabai and Rath-U-Thit 200 Pi Road at around 6.15am I suppose you could argue that 11am is after midnight too. So when is safe?

Three Patong tuk-tuk drivers have been charged after assaulting a foreign tourist in a dispute over the fare.

Just ask the local government building permit office if it has permission to be built there. If not, remove it. Not rocket science. If it has, follow the money trail.

Exactly. They obviously knew of their existence to now target them so quickly. So they effectively were complicit in the sale of illegal weapons. But that's the way Thailand operates. Whether something is illegal has no relevance and almost all the time it - anything - is ignored. Only when doing nothing, or assisting in the illegality, blows up in their face do they do anything.

I've had the same password problem too. I just used a spare other address and abandoned using the old one. If you don't have a spare, just set a new one up to use for Lazada. The primary aim of any business is to make it easy for you to spend money with them, but Lazada appears to be unaware of that concept.

I suppose their parents were not parenting, as is the norm here where, often, people only have kids as an insurance policy to fund them in their old age. Actually raising them responsibly is too much hard work.

Did he also explain to her why he was totally oblivious to the fact that, in his house, his kid had a store of guns and ammunition that he knew nothing about?

Nice that that support was there for her of course. But I think that might apply to anyone anywhere. Thai support is no different to society anywhere else.

I thought I read a few weeks ago that all moving walkways there had been checked. I can only assume they were checked and all found to be dangerous, as when I used the airport last week none at all that I saw were working, both in arrivals and departures.

She said that all agencies concerned, both private and government, should learn from her traumatic experience, that they must regularly check their escalators and moving walkways, ensuring that they are safe and functioning properly, to avoid a repetition of her terrifying and painful ordeal. Er, yes, Obvious to most, but not part of Thai culture is it. By contrast as an example, London Underground has staff who walk the tracks at night checking for defects - you know, before an accident happens. Also, train wheels are checked, and not only on the Underground.

No. Or maybe for a week or so. Having said that, those detectors do the same wherever they are, including airports. How they work, I have no idea. Maybe a different sound if someone comes through with a Glock? Except in Siam Paragon, where it's the easiest thing in the world to bypass the detector, which is really only there for show.

Has there actually been any response from her record company or managment?

Just more proof that you can be killed over anything at all in Thailand. It follows someone who murdered his neighbour for turning the wi-fi off, and a father killing his son for slamming a door. And there are plenty of murders we never read of. A few days ago a man in the next village murdered his sister because she wouldn't give him money. I truly believe that Thailand must be one of the most dangerous countries in the world outside of a war zone. Fortunately for us, they mostly only kill themselves, although the Siam Paragon victims weren't so lucky.

Sounds like perfectly normal behaviour by the deceased. Similar thing happened a couple of hundred metres from my house. Two women of a motorcycle, went to turn right without looking, hit by an SUV which was overtaking. Driver of the bike dead and her passenger lost her legs. All for absolutely no reason. You really can't help these people. They haven't got a clue.

She makes good money too. Smart girl. Just one question - why are the parents not charged with being unable to control a child, especially after she has been caught offending before, and why isn't she removed from them as a consequence? Okay, two questions.

Same with me. Just the way Thais do business - in an un-businesslike way. Works in our favour, for a change.

I was likening people in THAILAND and the USA claiming they own a gun for self-protection. As this THAI did. Sorry if that offended you.

so that gives him the right to carry a gun ... what bs they come with. As do most Americans, of course.

I've posted before, after one of the US mass shootings, about the Americans insisting that the right to carry guns is in the constitution. And that the constitution doesn't cover the right to own bullets, so ban their sale. End of problem. Hundreds, thousands of lives saved every year, tens of thousands of family members not left grieving. If people insist on killing, they can use knives as they do in the UK. Much more difficult to kill multiple people with a knife.
