This is the new Plan called “Sugar, Fat and Diabetes” to find costumers for hospitals .

A friend of mine is a retired doctor from the US and he says basically that's what the US system is doing; getting, then keeping people in the system, generating profits!

Unbelievable he got 50 years for misuse of a vehicle but some murderers/rapists only 20.......TIT!

He must have really pissed off his superiors, possibly too much loss of face, hence the harsh sentence.

Regardless of blame , it is high time that anyone fleeing the scene following an accident receives a mandatory prison sentence.  New government.....time to finally get tough.

Great idea...........but probably won't happen! TIT

Depends on the people you're being kind too. I've seen it go both ways but generally speaking I've noticed that some Thais tend to take advantage of you if/when they find out you're "Jai Dee".

I am more worried about political problems in the USA making life unlivable back there... and who is to say a crazy development there might bring on a dictator to confiscate your bank account? 

 

Who knows? It is pretty crazy there now. 

Agree totally, might be a civil war after the 2024 election the way things are going!

This topic been done to death already.. with the same results...

Agree totally! Thank you! 

Just to start; I don't have the manual so can't use that for info. When checking engine oil level on an engine with a screw in dipstick do you just push it in until it just contacts, or do you screw it totally in then unscrew it and check the level?

5555555, was there any doubt about this?! Srettha will just be a puppet for the master.

Yeah, PM but in the background. What a joke! Thailand can never move forward on the world stage while doing things like this.

Do you know what Yet means in Thai?

Yes, that's why I said english and Thai, depends on which language you're using; could apply either way. 5555

Judging by the amount of Indian restaurants in Pattaya they must think they're all coming here! Been here 30 years and I've never seen so many Indian restaurants!

"Yet", being the operative word.........english and Thai, both meanings apply in this case.

Years ago my wife had me wear one with some special amulet to keep me safe, I always kept it inside my shirt as not to show off (dangerous in my opinion), Anyway, during a Songkran festival a bunch of mototaxis riders tried to get it away from me--guess they saw it on the back of my neck, resulting in a fight between myself and several of them. I ended up a little banged up but kept the chain. Lesson learned, I've never worn that chain--or any other again, especially now with the price of gold where it is, at the time I was mugged it was around 7k-9k for a baht of gold. So much for the amulet keeping me safe LOL!

Just shocking to me how something trivial like a dirty toilet can spiral into the death of a person, and other lives ruined forever. 

No, I wouldn't tolerate it, and on the other side of it, I like to keep my dick attached to my body.

5555555, that's funny! How many times have we heard this throughout the years and various administrations. Wait till the mountains of brown envelopes start getting distributed, then it all goes back to same same different day. Greed is a hard thing to change.

One of the things that has astonished me about Thai's throughout Covid is how they were all convinced to wear masks yet the numbers wearing helmets remained so outrageously low. 

I think the same way; I see them with masks on riding a motorcycle with no helmet.....hmmmm. 

5555555555, that's funny! Been here 30+ years and it's never been completed--like a non-Thai person would consider completed. It just goes thru it's different phases of corruption.........ooops, I mean renovation.

55555555555..... Thats funny!

Just put them to death, someone who commits a crime like this will never be reformed......and deserves to die. 

I bet his fellow prisoner friends that are still in prison are experiencing a LOT more fatigue and stress than Thaksin.

The Robin Williams phrase comes to mind, "God gave men a brain and a dick, but only enough blood to run one at a time." I've seen many guys come to Thailand and do things here that they would'nt even think of doing in their home country. I think the above phrase plays a part in their decisions.
