Shouldn't the headline read: "Lifting alcohol restrictions could boost certain powerful individuals bank accounts by billions"? TIT

One of the reasons I keep ALL my bank accounts open that I have in Thailand, even if there's an insignificant amount in them. I was going to close one or two of them since I hadn't used them in years but the manager at the branch told me better to keep them going as it's going to be harder in the future for farangs to open accounts.....she was right.

This kind of thing is proof that civilization is not moving forward any longer, but rather we are devolving as a society.

Exactly, the movie Idiocracy explains this phenomenon, the human race dumbing down because instead of the smartest reproducing the most, the dumbest are reproducing at an exponential rate. It was a grade B comedy but has turned into a documentary.

attempt to engage with it for a photo.

Not just an attempt, she DID engage with it, on a very personal level. Hopefully it was worth it, but somehow I think not! You'd think at 55 years old she would have a little more experience and common sense about this type of thing......guess not.

I'm worried about moving them into the recovery position after a motorbike accident because of the extremely high risk of neck damage. Just when is it safe?

If you don't know what you're doing better to leave them alone unless there are two people, one to turn them and one to stabilize the neck while turning. Basically the spine needs to stay aligned with the neck if you're going to turn them. Just keep in mind IF you cause any damage you could be liable.  And also better to NOT remove a helmet if they're wearing one, this could also cause some, or more neck/spine damage. 

Respect to this guy! A lot of people now days would just film it on their phones then post it for likes/follows! Good to see there are still people out there with compassion for others and are willing to help. Also, hope the girl gets compensated properly by the driver, probably not though since this is Thailand.

If you're rich and powerful....yes. if you're poor and don't know anyone with influence.....most things are not so easy. Moral of the story; power and money grease the wheels over here.

Hope she has good insurance and a good lawyer. 

And a big bank account and lots of brown envelopes.

What for Health Insurance you are using, looks quite expensive. I'm in the same age, have a coverage of 20 million THB, In-and Outpatient, 40k deductible per year and pay after 20% no claim discount 62.000 THB a year.

AXA, what company do you have? I used to have Allianz, they were about the same price for the same coverage. Thanks

So many varied answers to just a simple question

Like most threads on here it goes off topic quickly.

65 year old male, no preexisting conditions, non smoker, 162,000 baht a year. The price depends on how much coverage you want, mine is middle of the road but enough to cover most conditions in BPH, even though I don't like using them, not many choices. A 73 year old friend of mine is paying approx. 340,000 baht a year with a little better coverage than I have. No preexisting conditions and also a non smoker. Hope this helps.

If found guilty a slow and painful castration might make him rethink his life choices.

Lifetime ban on ALL airlines should get his head right! 

RIP Supannika, you're an angel, so sad you left so early. Much respect to her parents for this selfless act of kindness. 

You tend to not make as many stupid mistakes/decisions when getting old; that's a good thing in my book based on my history when I was younger.

It won't take 500 years...

Idiocracy was a great movie. It was supposed to be a comedy but the more I watch it the more I realize it's a documentary about the US! People dumbing down!

Gold

Saw a couple of younger decent looking guys the other day in a food court moving around table to table eating people's leftover food. Just giving you another option because you're going to need options like this with only having one million baht for14 years! 555

I am a 22 yo college graduate from a top western university.

Maybe you've got a degree in something but no street smarts!

Spend a little time in Thailand before you jump in with both feet. The water can be deep and perilous in the Land of Smiles.

As Robin Williams once said, "God gave man a penis and a brain but only enough blood to run one at a time." So true!
