Simply make it compulsory for those hiring motorbikes and doing watersports to purchase appropriate insurance when they hire the service in question. "attack by animals" ??!! don't know what to think about this one , is it by any chance stray dogs? In which case it is the municipalities job to sort out.
forget about the single stray dog - it is always a wild elephant, wild boar, a python, king cobra, 10 centipedes at a time, sharks, deadly jellyfish and so on...and all this in the middle of Pattaya ... fancy attacks, indeed

What tourists would really like to see is clean water, rubbish free beaches, no traffic jams, less crime and a hassle free holiday. Extra people doesn't quite cut it.
The much-favoured tourists of the year (Indians, Chinese, Russians) were born with all the above qualities, they don't expect else...

still Phuket's beaches are inadequately equipped with lifeguards and safety equipment
no need to do anything about this: In line with the governmental order to return to pristine beaches. Tourists taking a swim are solely at their own risk (and stupidity)

I'll bet there were no skid marks in the road. Also, He probably hit her whilst continuing in a straight line. And without a change in speed before hitting her.
I'll bet the VERY old Swedish woman wouldn't know anything about Thai traffic, wouldn't care either; had bad hearing and VERY bad eye sight. Made the fatal mistake of thinking being in her home country even though she flew 6000 miles to get herself killed by own mistake

VPN helps with geo- blocking. One thing to remember, though: Quite a few sites (banking, TM30, TM6 etc) won't work unless you switch off VPN - no big deal, just has to be remembered...

why doesn't he go for crowd- funding? everybody without proper travel preps, without a plan, without means, without insurance, without brains does this nowadays - and they all succeed and get "rescued by the good internet samaritans"

WHY should it even be an issue?????
Just get your re entry permit, and you are of course allowed to go outside Thailand, and come back, even if it is just for a minute..

I always have a 1yr multiple re-entry: pay once and forget about it

They meant "fish sauce." Fish sauce is the ultimate aphrodisiac in Thailand.

yes . It is fine when the country bureaucratically treats residents as possible European terrorists as long as they stay home in Isaan; but the expats just don't want the hunters to immediately jump on their backs (checking possible terrorist back-ground with endless paperwork) as soon as they travel around TH - and especially reporting back home every time coming in from abroad.
the myriads of possible tourist terrorists have a much easier time to enter the country, do their thing and disappear 2 days later without a trace...

Imported goods should automatically become cheaper because of the baht. Lower for the importer that is.
And that's where it stops and doesn't get passed on; or if it does get passed on to the wholesaler it is unlikely to get any further than that. Certainly not to the consumer. It's called greed.
If there was such a thing as a Perceived Greed Index Thailand would be at the top.
as long as we talk "pricing farang food": our problems are
a) limited consumer power - in total we are not too many
b) little competition between suppliers in the Thai market
c) a possibly high percentage of food (stock) loss - shelf life expired...

Some in Pattaya won't be aware that they live at the eelswamp (Nong Pla Lai)
The village names are often quite trivial.
"Nong" as above (swamp, marsh, mire...) is very frequent combined with other words like Nong Prue (sleepy swamp, not sure about this
).
We live in the villa of the abundant paddy(?). About 20 of same name in Thailand.
right; same as Suvarnabhumi now ("Golden Land") which was Nong Ngu Hao before ("cobra pit swamp")

Ah yes what we need is more TM30's how about a weekly Tm30 which can be updated to daily..............of course seeing older people who have been on extensions for years with no problems caused is too easy to select these out of the "all falang" mentality.
the really ridiculous problem behind the TM30 harrassing residents and the like is: None of all these terrorists flooding Thailand every day are ever controlled and listed / covered by this TM30 ... it simply does not go for tourists!

Get the DLT QR Licence app on Play Store and register. Then you have your DL on your phone 'legally'.
check your licence! Mine is valid but approx. 3 yrs old and it does not have the code on its back yet - then you won't get any further with the DLT app
