The master plan to use 4am closing time to attract family tourists to Pattaya as a family friendly destination is working wonders I see.

Have to laugh at the police officer staring so intently at his phone screen…..horizontally. Wide angle required.

What has policing thai laws, primarily related to illegal employment, have to do with enhancing the tourist experience? all this meeting achieved is a bad headline, but I bet they are feeling good about it

A drunk British guy being arrested is news? Smh

And if locals don’t arrive, the focus will move to aliens and unicorns.

So will this guy get fined and warned like the Chinese influencer did for her Nana story?

Well this will bring Chinese people flocking back to Thailand. They are quite defensive about how their countrymen are treated by foreigners

At least the police have it all sorted now. Quick work yet again.

What a misleading headline. I doubt there was any traffic chaos at all in Udon Thani as a result of a few white lines painted in a stupid way. White lines which are routinely ignored because they seem to serve no purpose.

I am one of those three. I’m confused why you think this type of accident doesn’t happen too often. such accidents are regularly reported on and when I drive from Phuket to Bangkok and vice versa, it would be a unicorn trip for me not to witness the recent aftermath of some sort of accident. Heck, even in the island where I live I certainly see accidents on a weekly basis and not far off daily. Luckily they tend to be low speed due to the amount of traffic congestion, but minibus accidents on the hills in and out of Patong are a regular occurrence.

An apology? Trying to set fire to the blanket sounds more like attempted manslaughter to me. Fire in an airplane is life threatening. and then there is failure to follow aircrew instructions. Surely as a bare minimum he is guilty of that. and an apology is sufficient punishment. SMH

No need for a simulation of the drunken tourist on Bangla, quite likely the real thing will be available

Never mind, opening bars which are downright dives, until 4am will do a lot to bring in more family groups and high end tourists. They flock to those sorts of places in the early hours of the morning /s

Tourists are fair game all year round. Just that there is more chance of being caught when there is a crime free scheme on the go. But not THAT much more chance

No maintenance done within the 2/3 days since the bird incident?

Don’t be silly. This law has been in existence for many years, so it always HAS been a nanny state. But like many laws, it’s ignored so you won’t notice any difference.

Great that there an existing law prohibiting the sale of alcohol to drunks. Problem is that it is routinely, even uniformly, ignored. As everyone knows.

Chinese people trust Chinese police as much as Thai people trust Thai police. a very strange move

How can she not recall the detail of a weird incident that happened only two days ago? It would be understandable if she didn’t know then or now, but if she knew then, surely she can recall now. Unless she doesn’t want further involved so she invoked the trump family strategy.

“A city known for its vibrant nightlife” is that a new descriptor for sleaze?

Why not just do their jobs all year round without the self congratulatory, random press releases. that’s all that is required and that WOULD build confidence far more than this bs

Tosh. my mother is 93 with early dementia and she lives in her own home and has private carers come into her 4 times a day to give her meals, get her dressed and showered etc. the authorities means tested her and because she has little money, she pays a pittance and the government pays the balance of the private care cost. My sisters husband has a similar arrangement for his elderly parents in a totally different part of the UK. having said all that, actual health care, as in a doctor or hospital, is in a dire state. On the occasions that my mother has needed more than just a care service, the NHS has been a disaster. The last time she was taken to hospital she lay in an ambulance in the hospital car park for TWO days because there was no bed for her in a ward. care homes and medical care are two different things.

She looks like she is wearing a costume out of Star Trek. Very Klingon.

Other reports have no mention of an Indian ( named Vanuatu?) and simply say that 5 Russians attacked the police.
