Guess he was at the back back back of the cue when brains were handed out…

One of the reasons I’d never give 2 bht to a temple, it’s just a nation wide scam , to bleed money from the poor so monks can build the bigger temple than the next monk! Way to much money is just totally wasted, same as the Catholic Church…

On Samui , the police are far too lazy to actually put up a check point! Havnt seen one for 7 years in Lamai! Definitely not worried about any crackdown here at all!

Top score for the most retarded answer yet!

Well I’m on Samui , and it or the cold is spreading pretty quickly, I had it a few weeks ago and it wasn’t nice , so your statement is just plain pathetic and ignorant!

Yes , with the super confusing, constantly changing tax rules and now the total ban on Thai nominee companies to buy land/houses here they are doing a superb job in scaring away foreign investors! outstanding!

Another tattoed dri go Aussie, what a f idiot! Enjoy the holding cells at immigration detention center! And be blacklisted for 5 years, at 51 you think he wi know better… 1 year overstay, where is the “ smart “ police?

Total bull! It’s low seas and it’s quiet! White lotus effect is just someone’s imagination! The other part of the article will never happen- law enforcement, fixing the garbage problem, and proper recycling, that’s a joke that’s been going on for the last 20 years!

The old fool sho stop playing dress up, and just disappear quietly, he just looks rediculous and serves no purpose to the Thai people at all! Good riddance please!

The junta is too busy stuffing their own pockets, and don’t care that foreign companies treat their employees like slaves! nothing good ever comes out of Burma!

Clear as mud as usual, talk about piss poor planning, but what did anyone expect??? same goes with leases, and owning pro here as a westerner , law is always changing and could change again in a year or two! They couldn’t plan a pissup in a brewery!

lol, the Israeli’s got their asses kicked, well deserved!

Another numpty, who was at the back of the queue when brains were handed out, this bell end walked straight past the warning sign, try to be macho, and now wants others to pay for his stupidity!

On the stormy night of 27 September 2023, the pair drove 30 miles from Cumbria, where they lived, to the remote site. In a matter of minutes, using chainsaws, they brought down the iconic sycamore in what prosecutors described as a “deliberate and mindless act of destruction.” Despite each denying the charges, the evidence—most damningly, a video recorded by Graham himself—led to their conviction. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gqf9ZZoXkAAQXb5?format=jpg&name=900x900 The video, shot on Graham’s iPhone 13 and played in court, captures the whine of a chainsaw piercing the night, followed by the fall of the tree. Metadata from the footage confirmed its location at Sycamore Gap. Adding to the weight of the prosecution’s case were images on Graham’s phone, including one of a cut piece of the tree and a chainsaw—items the Crown suggested were kept as trophies. “This was perhaps a trophy taken from the scene to remind them of their actions, actions that they appear to have been revelling in,” said Richard Wright KC, prosecuting. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMbW_WnXEAAkzCc?format=png&name=small The jury also heard voice notes exchanged between the two men as media coverage of the felling exploded. In one, Graham told Carruthers: “Someone there has tagged like ITV News, BBC News, Sky News, like News News News,” adding, “I think it's going to go wild.” Another photo submitted as evidence showed them felling a different tree a month prior, suggesting a pattern of behaviour. The court also heard that Graham ran a groundworks company and Carruthers worked in property and mechanics, both with expertise in tree felling. Throughout the trial, both men attempted to shift blame onto each other, but the jury concluded they acted together. The significance of the tree—a symbol in popular culture since its appearance in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and the site of countless personal memories—was a recurring theme. Judge Mrs Justice Lambert reminded jurors at the outset to set aside emotion in their deliberations. Northumbria Police’s Superintendent Kevin Waring described the crime as a textbook case of “mindless vandalism,” adding: “They gave no explanation for why they targeted the tree, and there never could be a justifiable one.” Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Susan Dungworth echoed the sentiment, calling the act “unfathomable” and highlighting the lack of remorse from the defendants. Gale Gilchrist of the Crown Prosecution Service North East stated: “Graham and Carruthers took under three minutes to bring down an iconic landmark in a deliberate and mindless act of destruction.” She expressed hope that the convictions would provide “some measure of comfort” to the community. The wider reaction has been one of collective mourning and a desire to preserve the tree’s legacy. Tony Gates, chief executive of the Northumberland National Parks Authority, said, “It just took a few days to sink in—I think because of the enormity of the loss. We knew how important that location was for many people at an emotional level, almost at a spiritual level.” In an effort to keep that connection alive, the National Trust has safeguarded 49 saplings from the original tree. These will be planted across the UK in public spaces as “trees of hope,” allowing the Sycamore Gap to live on symbolically. Meanwhile, the largest preserved section of the felled tree is set to go on display at the National Landscape Discovery Centre later this year. The iconic stump remains in place by Hadrian’s Wall, where fresh shoots have already begun to sprout—nature’s quiet defiance in the wake of human recklessness. Graham and Carruthers, who showed no visible reaction to the verdicts, are due to be sentenced in July. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Sky News 2025-05-10 What a pair of absolute bellends! Britain had talent, NOT , hope they get 5 years each in jail!

Oh look, he’s dragging that old chestnut out again… profs he has no more trained men to lead to their slaughter, and no more tanks and armored vehicles, as the Ukrainian drone attacks are relentless! what a complete failure! how embarrassing!

Who?

Looks like the one that decided to snack on my friend while he was asleep on the grass, was in hospital for a week !

Thailand the hub of aviation safety and brake failures …. What could possibly go wrong…?

Tip of the preverbal iceberg , most ferang bought villas that way, as the THAI. Lawyers said they could, and the government did nothing to stop them ….. until now!

Just another in the long long list of ferang that leave their brains in a swampy airport locker upon arrival…..

<deleted> of the day award to you!

Pythons are beautiful and harmless, unless you are a small animal, had a 5 m one cross the road next to our house on Samui, amazing snake!

What a surprise, another f idiot covered in tattoos goes beserk! Why does Thailand attract so many f losers covered in ink??

So every other transport department, is run on bribes , lack of service and accountability, and under the table payments and dodgy licensing and excuses, but the aviation business isn’t…? Mmm yeah sure!

NO, the f arrogant Swiss did!
