The Chirathivat family, which controls Central Pattana, has built one of Thailand’s largest retail networks. Its parent, Central Group, has also expanded internationally, acquiring European luxury assets such as Italy’s La Rinascente and London’s Selfridges, while holding stakes in Germany’s KaDeWe

I don't care wether you are in a bar or restuarant in Thailand or texas or Toowoomba and you want to aviod a situation like this you must get a menu or price list of the food and drinks and enquire about the price of any personel services that you may be intereted in Before you go ahead and order anything. That way you won't have the same trouble as this dumbo did .He was lucky to get his money back plus expenses.

they are experts at this sort of thing, this seems to be common in Chang Mai, they didn't get away with it on this occasion because this "dumbo" got the police involved and they sided with him, you can certainly do things to protect yourself somewhat but at the end of the day they can write what they want on the final bill

30k baht for 6 bottles of beer - are they having a laugh, were they 10lt bottles

1st of April is approaching - maybe a dry run

this effort is for inbound cruises not outbound, try and book a cruise from Thailand and you will come up with nothing - why is that ?

The BMW driver initially told police he did not see the motorcycle because the road was on an incline. He said the limited visibility on the slope prevented him from spotting the rider before the collision occurred.

At 64 years old??

yeah people get really desperate when they run out of money, I have been "living" here for over 2 decades still not old enough for UK state pension, I have income and savings, I have seen this type of person many times (helped a few) it always ends the same way - desperate and broke, I always say the same thing - go home, no country gives handouts like the UK, not been a recipient myself but it exists

how many more of these scum are we going to see before Thailand gets tough, what was his motive, my guess would be he has run out of money to support a 60 day stay and resorting to theft to get some cash

yet another drugged up nutjob

another drunk drugged up nutjob, lock him up for 6 months then deport and blacklist him for life

RIP

6m baht a year wow

fine and deport them all then blacklist

surely the victims can id these scumbags, wasn't it reported they met through attending some weed shop, also one of them looks to be quite tall 6"8 and of african/middle eastern origins - can't many fitting that description around pattaya - oh that's right there one locked up in a police holding cell lol

no mention of recovering the 2 million baht and where did the money come from - was it earned inside Thailand from bar operations

Thailand a stellar example of conservation

the baht does the opposite to any normal way of thinking - so why is that

First we had the Cambodia conflict (wich is still active) the baht strengthed - wtf is up with that ?

Public debt is through the roof

exports are sinking fast

tourism is down

rice exports down 26%

crime is increasing at an exponential rate

drugs problem

conflict

healthcare scams

the buffalo is sick along with every member vv

etc etc etc

what happens

the baht strenthens ?
