Like one extra hour of drinking is going make a huge difference, another idiotic idea, do they think people will sober up in an hour or two, also what legal powers do these people have to detain anyone they think is driving drunk that is a job for police, these people are so far removed from reality it is shocking

The message should be "LEAVE THE CAR AT HOME" or face stiff penalties and this should be ongoing whether 2am 3am or 4am closing, proper policing is the answer not this childish nonsense 

what a shock another bus crash, that's 3 this week alone (reported) and one very deadly, either the buses are not fit for purpose or the drivers or both

it's not really a road is it, it's a "WALKING STREET"

perhaps a taxi rank outside the street would solve the problem and that goes for MB taxi also

‘interrogate’

maybe interview, and she is entitled to her opinion, perhaps if Thailand encouraged this sort of feedback is might highlight areas for improvement which there are many

I  was under the assumption that if you were out of the country (UK) for over 6 months you cannot return to a free NHS

ordinarily resident is living in the UK for 6 months - not ordinarily resident is out of the country for 6 months, exceptions exist like i mentioned above, they rarely check anything as they have no means to do so, if you have a NI number and a UK address then you are good to go

Have to wait 3 years for returning residents

not sure that is correct, if you are ordinarily resident (6 months) you can resume free NHS Healthcare, there are exceptions if you worked in the forces or police etc you never loose free treatment, and they seldom check anyway 

yet more senseless loss of life on Thailands dangerous roads, you can make a guess what caused this to happen - driver fatigue - speeding - lack of driving skills - mobile phone use - mechanical failure etc etc etc but the fact remains - at least 14 people are dead due to all or a combination or one of the above

RIP

Two days later, the German suspect was taken to the Pattaya court, to have his detention extended for further questioning. The suspect then sought bail and the application was granted by the court on the condition that he must report to the court on November 14th, or his 500,000 baht surety would be confiscated.

On November 7th, the German suspect flew out of Thailand.

try doing that with an unpaid hospital bill, the police trying to defend this is hilarious and also tragic, money talks here, money number one

Interesting that a little detail is missing in this report.

His wife is Thai and after the dust had settled she continued her flight to Bangkok.

(as read in German tabloids)

 

I think the furious German will have to break his piggy bank to compensate the damage.

his wife (thai) obviously did the right thing and stayed well out of it

From threats to undressing and attempting to set a blanket ablaze, this turbulent episode forced an unscheduled landing in India.

that's going to cost 

drink drugs likely involved

I remember being on a flight with an idiot like this, he eventually got into a physical altercation with a member of cabin crew and I had enough, brought to the floor and restrained - he was arrested when we landed, I got an applause
