Business must be slow. EVA Air have just announced a sale, 30% off LHR-BKK for tickets bought this coming weekend. Economy return is advertised from £467, Economy plus from £858. For departure until 30th June 2016.

Is this a matter of the pot calling the kettle black?

I get mine in London. One entry with a tourist visa gives a 60 day stay. Pay for a double entry and you get a second entry and another 60 days. Pay for a triple and you get a third 60 days. Total 180 days. Always check your stamp at the airport before you leave the immigration area. Also, you might say (with a polite smile), "60 day na?" as the immigration officer hands you your stamped passport, followed by thank you or Kar poom Khrap (Thai for thank you).

Bougainvillier Hotel, (855)23 220 528 The rooms overlooking the Riverfront are huge and great balconies. French restaurant downstairs. Bargain with them over price and try Agoda price.

The road sign says 'Chiang Mai 8'. Well, I think 'Chiang Mai 4.5' would be closer, na.

This sounds like a major joint forces operation, with limited tea money potential, well done chaps.

What a beautiful looking creature. You would expect it to be shy and disappear quickly, tarmac not it's preferred surface. Could be something wrong with it, or just had very large meal.

My sympathy with wealthy thrill seekers is limited, compared to the genuine heartfelt empathy and compassion that is going out to the hundreds of thousands of homeless and injured Nepalese, who have no Phuket refuge to escape to. The credibility of the 'West' getting its kicks in the poorest nation of Asia is called into question.

How many people are normally killed in a 7 day period? Without anything to compare it to, 364 is meaningless.

seatran.jpg This was a tourist ferry leaving from Koh Tao a few days ago . I thought it was on fire ! until I saw it do the same thing the next day . the engine is clearly in a bad condition for it to create this much smoke !! how long before it blows up and sinks just like the Krabi boat ? I decided not to use this ferry company when I left the island !

Dear ConfusedFarang9, please could you forward your photograph to the marine authorities, there is not much point telling us. If you have already done so, please feel free to tell me to mind my own business. Thankyou.

Please..please..please, if anyone is contemplating 'Hari Kari', dont jump, you could land next to some kids and condemn them to a life of nightmares and therapy. Instead, buy some diving weights, rent a boat and at least you'll provide food for the dwindling fish stocks.

I caught three rays off the coast of Zaire when I was an 18 year old volunteer, I thought I was so very clever. Well. It aint clever and I wish I hadn't done it. Easy to be wise 40 years later.

Suspended by the 'nads' would be pleasing to many.

"FIVE FRENCHMEN" French wasn't the common denominater that first struck me.

With that much snow on the ground, Im surprised there weren't more accidents

Does everyone just go a bit bonkers as soon as they land on Thai soil?

creepy

A conviction in this case would be worldwide news and produce front page headlines, big photo's and major tv coverage in the UK. The country of origin of the criminal/s concerned will receive very bad press. The story would run daily from arrest to trial to judgement. It would be a significant blow to tourism in Thailand if a Thai person were to be convicted. Therefore, if a foreign 'perp' cannot be found, the temptation will be to allow the matter to cool off, go cold and be forgotten.

There are people who can never forget and our thoughts must continue to be with them.

Thai people can be very conscious of their position on the ladder of life. If they are near the bottom of the ladder and prone to vanity, then being seen with a wealthy person (all western are considered wealthy) is an attractive proposition.

Shame on you Thailand

Ask her where she wants to go, it's her town, how should you know? If it comes to it, Baan Khanitha, Sukhumvit Soi 53, Thong Lor BTS (exit 1) is the best seafood restaurant in town and in budget. Mainly full of Thai businessmen when I've been there.

A void tuk-tuks

B e sober

C arry small amounts of cash

Im sorry but my sympathy is limited. Smashing into the ground with all the technicolour accompanyments in front of women, children or me, is a bit of a crime in my mind and must scar onlookers for life especially kids. It is a sad and private moment, find a private way.

Well over $6200 for "damage" to jet ski? Or does that cover speedboat also? Too bad the farang will always lose in these situations. Rule #1 -- rent nothing in these resort areas.

"rent nothing", are you sure?
