Yes, that's the explanation.

The same Happened in my area in North Pattaya.

When all the jungle is removed, they will plant few banana trees to do like it is now agricultural land. Few weeks after the banana trees are all dry and dead and the area looks disgusting until the vegetation comes back with rainy season.

Your "story" IS a pile dung

 

Big fat know nothing

555

come to pattaya..........fill your boots

Marc Walker ?

this story sounds like a pile dung 

big fat wedding 

air quality is perfect for celebrating  ?

oh forget about Chang Mai.........well done Thailand  - a hub that you can claim as accurate - well done

i am sure there is a massive exit out of the country right now, why not publish the actual figures

you think sonkran as it is now is what people want for 5 days, I want to respect traditional culture, I will stay in my room for 6 daya, I don't want to take part in a shambolic cluster ### that is disrespectful to traditions going back 100,s of years, what i see now is shameful

RIP to the brave young men that died doing their duty too ?

kids with  a mom and dad - did they deserve this

muslims - violence will be met with violence, a never ending cycle of death, how about peace

i thought negotiations  were going with the Muslims  in the south

seems like everywhere they will agree nothing - cut them loose - what does it matter, let them support themselves, what do  they want,  thailand doesn't have a welfare system like we have in the west - let them do their own thing as long they stay there, what is the actual problem

What would be the point for another speculation? We have more than enough of them already.

Sometimes it makes sense to realize "I don't know what happened" and not pretend to know.

I would love to read follow up articles to all those articles which describe a minute or two of an event and let us all speculate about what really happened. Or how about writing articles only with sufficient information? 

 

If you want to ignore me, please go ahead. 

it is called discussion and could be based on experience, sitting on the sidelines and being a smart### contributes nothing

Thailand is gearing up for an extended three-week Songkran festival this year, expected to significantly boost the country's tourism sector, with projected revenues reaching into the tens of billions of baht.

utter nonsense, what tourists, do they mean Thais who cannot afford to party for a week, this just sounds like desperation

Obviously, we all have ideas what might have happened. 

But I find it always amazing that within 10 comments we have at least three who are sure what must have happened - and all have different stories. Amazing! 

and you have contributed absolutely nothing to the thread except criticism of other posters - you are very close to my ignore list

Anchisa said the foreigner’s Thai wife had told her that when her husband was heavily drunk after consuming more than six bottles of beer he did not listen to anyone.

not stating he had 6 beers in her bar in factt doesn't say how many beers they had or how long they were in there, lack of details in this report is problematic

Aren't "lady drinks" fake drinks that men are required to "buy" in order to pay for the company of bar girls?  Why would his wife be buying "lady drinks"?  I doubt she works in the bar.  Or do you think she was trying to get more money from her husband and into the bar by buying the girls "lady drinks"?

i've seen this happen many times were wives/girlfriends of farangs buy lady drinks - it's a status thing

very difficult to justify this shooting, you can't just shoot someone because they are in your garden, the fact he was shot twice in the buttocks contradicts what shooter said - "he continued to advance", was he running away ?, maybe all the shots were like this
