  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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“.
  5. 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.
  6. 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..."
  7. 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.
  8. How exactly was this allowed to go on for one night let alone for three months?
  9. Jeeshhh... no one in the RTP have watched even one episode of CSI?
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. 30,000? Even on A380's that's more than 50 trips and you know it won't happen.
  13. It's difficult to imagine any car chase in metro Bangkok that doesn't end in rot deet within a block and a half.
  14. OK, two people got the flu, they felt sick for a few days and now they are better.
  15. Yeah, I'd go this route too. It's your personal guitar. Guitars being carried through airports are a common sight. Don't overthink it. I walked through the "Nothing to Declare" exit with a boxed bicycle a few times. No one said a word. Good luck.
  16. The search engines on Lazada and Shopee are dismal at best. Try searching on Google or other and usually one of the first results will be from one of the two shopping sites. Office Mate has them, so does B2S.
  17. Where is this politician that is not seeking power? Where does this government exist that does not want to control its citizens?
  18. Moral of the story is find and pay a decent lawyer if you are handing over 15 million baht to anyone for anything in Thailand.
  19. "Startled by the events, the monk finally agreed to pay...". Startled and finally agreed to pay? Why did it take any convincing?
