    That's what I was thinking. There's always his story, their story and the truth. Nevertheless, this guy was treated badly. My big takeaway is to stay away from Airbnb and no drinking.

    Precisely what does your research tell you about Bitcoin?

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/18/election-teamsters-endorsement-harris-trump "...polling conducted after Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris 59.6% of members said they wanted the union to endorse Trump over 34% for Harris. Just because you don't like it, does not mean it isn't true.

    Someone once told me about Thai roads that "Civil engineering is not a Thai strong suit." I think that pretty much sums up most Thai engineering. A structure like that should be carefully designed and manged. I'm going to bet that the builders and designers were pretty much "winging it". After all, it worked before.

    Ya think?

    If the red vehicle is what's left of the pickup, it looks like in the vid that the bus pushed the pickup into the van. Maybe the pickup was trying to squeeze in front of the bus? Either way the bus was going way too fast to stop.

    Wouldn't it be a logical question to ask where this casino complex might be located? If the location hasn't yet been determined, maybe the reporter could find out what areas are being considered.

    The parachute in the photos of the body is a blue or purple. The open one is green. Probably a stock photo used for the story. The media should make note of that but they often do not.

    I'm stunned!

    In fairness the Thai banks, green and blue, have their stuff together. Apps and online work pretty darn well. Government, well... I agree with you there.

    You would think that with all the need for and emphasis on increasing tourism that the BiB would find a way to solve these stupid issues in a way slightly less visible than arrest and a trip to the station. There is not a good way to play this in the press even if the two actors were being idiots.

    From reading the replies here, it seems immigration just uses these unfortunate but honest mistakes to take advantage of foreigners and pocket a little "bonus“.

    You never want to be the first into an intersection even if the light is green and you don't want to be the last one through.

    I'm certain that all of the most modern crime scene protocols were followed to the lett before the body parts were "...dispatched to the Forensic Science Institute at the Police Hospital for meticulous examination..."

    No, he meant that the Taiwanese Embassy is at least calling for an investigation and that he doesn't think the Canadian Embassy would do the same for one of their citizens.

    How exactly was this allowed to go on for one night let alone for three months?

    Maybe someone should tell these muppets about the Streisand effect?

    Somehow I don't think this is going to help much.

    The headline should read - "BIB Out Looking for Donations"

    Jeeshhh... no one in the RTP have watched even one episode of CSI?

    That's the first thing I thought of too. So, now the homicide squad (such as they are) has to deal with a body that has been moved. I realize a body in a river has moved from where it went in but I would think the police should be involved from where the body was first found.

    The typical ready, FIRE! ...aim, mentality of most "schemes" coming from Thai bureaucrats. Oh look... rich farang, take his money... oh wait rich farang, don't leave!
