Sounds like it's only the old cracks you need to aware of in Thailand...

O

Don't complain about health coverage in Thailand easy answer go home if it's so good

Oh christ a new convert to the go home brigade 555 ... suck it up newby...

I personally think the authorities should do something about these lady boys not the police , not only are they dangerous but they are not conducive to tourism people don't come to Thailand to see lady boys.

obviously a lot do, like closet gays

555 someone who uses a term like closet gays, is usually gay... come out now 555

Every Thai TV soap opera and whitening cream advert does that...

Should read: David Eastham, 20, was on a holiday of a lifetime with five friends across Thailand only to return home, as many before him, with lifetime injuries or in a body bag.

At the age of 20, had I not been involved with studies at university and paying for my education, I probably would have been excited to holiday in Thailand or another similar country.

Instead I finished my education.

Bad karma for the lad..

If you read the story he is in his last year at university,. Karma my arse...

...may the deceased taxi driver be whisked along without delay to his next Reincarnation without further ado.....

How do you know he was a taxi driver?

1 life lost 1 life ruined what a sad situation.

Where is his majesty residing now is it in hua hin?

Well he is 66......so with any luck , around ten or so more years from now he wont matter anymore.

Same as most TV members...

Stop treating KFC, McD's etc as a treat for the kids would be a good start...

He must be new to Thailand and nobody has told him yet that most Thai women have "other men"

Most in all of Thailand? Or just the ones around the bar areas where you hang out?

A gambling problem is an addiction (sickness, disease) just like alcoholism, drugs, eating. etc., not a "free will" choice. Let he who has , for instance, cured himself of cancer by his "free will" be the first to cast the stones.

I disagree. Gambling, overeating even alcoholism is first of all a behavior choice. Eating too much? Put the fork down. Drinking too much? Don't bend your elbow with a tall cool one. Don't want to gamble? Don't go where you can make bets. Don't want brain cancer.... umm... oh that not under your control.

I guess winning just wasn't in the cards... would they have gotten help in Thailand if they were destitute?

A behaviour choice? You obviously haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Perhaps it was still a behaviour choice in 1980 but in 2015 the scientific community unanimously know that gambling is like any other disease; not a free choice

Worked for me got email with cert to printout and keep in passport within 4 days, 15mins to fill out the online form, I'm based in Cha am

The legal fishing fleet will be rejoicing as less competition, but he's not sure if he can take the day off....

I'm guessing she is putting herself through enough torture having killed her own child, sad case.

Yes, really, good luck with that... yawn.

This mug won 85,000 GBP playing the UK lottery...

were both vehicles alongside each other at the traffic lights ? I can only assume they were if she caught the front wheel of the cement truck did she have a smart phone in her hand or just plain bloody stupid .

Or maybe as stupid as your assumptions and comment...

It all sounds good until you realize the pair will get a 500 baht fine and be out working the streets

tomorrow. Oh well, at least this guy got his wallet back.

Just move the page administration to someone outside of Thailand, see them close it then...

they will just block facebook, like they did with that UK news website.

555 I'm going take that as a joke, blocking the dailymail and blocking Facebook are two different things.

Just move the page administration to someone outside of Thailand, see them close it then...

Funny to see the 'I've never done anything wrong' brigade winding themselves up this morning 5555

If you are having chest pain don't <deleted> around with a clinic, get yourself to hospital...

I am more then OK with this, but it will also cause probably a rise in stolen ID's and passports. The post-office staff is not trained in identifying false documents and I am sure the post-office will also not have access to the registry of ID's and passports.

I think it will not stop any bad willed person from using the post-office to send parcels.

Well they are both photo id so it's a good start

Damn! Now I will have to get a Thai to send my drug-laden packages!

A Thai will still need to show ID.

"if they are foreigners otherwise the parcels will not be accepted for delivery".

A Thai is not a foreigner.

I read it as thai has to show id and foreigner has to show passport because later in the article it says

The announcements make it mandatory for senders of parcels to show their ID cards or passports to officials at the postal counters so their personal information will be recorded.
