smedly

so what

you are not in Germany and if want to make comparisons like that the you have to include things like average salary, minimum wage and welfare payments for those out of work, average anual income in the UK is over 40k a year or almost 2m baht

there is no way someone was living in that room, Something smells with this story

555, I will never get my head around that one, ok yes people who lived here may have needed to return but some were actually coming on holiday ..... the mind boggles Then the absurdity of those with family (many examples) who could stay all day in the family home but had to return to a quarantine hotel to sleep - only in Thailand

reportedly brought her to a hotel in South Pattaya and handed her 700 dollars to buy alcoholic beverages this is of course her story which makes no sense at all, pretty sure that is not his version of events

so speeding - likely no licence or insurance - modified bike with no exhaust - running red lights - no number plate etc etc, cop pulls gun ? (crazy) and then lets him go after a telling him off, seriously ? 3rd world thailand and getting worse

wow many hidden talents leading the medical team and I thought he was just dumb

now that is worth paying attention to but no - tourism is more important, close the border now, we don't

why on earth did he kill everyone - couldn't he just move on RIP The mind boggles

and it is extremely slow

the Russian should be facing charges and if alcohol or drugs are involved then a very severe charge, this country is seriously ### RIP x2 the damage on that bike is not consistant with a rear end collision

An unidentified tour guide told police that the man also had personal health problems which complicated the CPR process. oh ?, maybe he should not have been snorkeling RIP

followed topics no emails no email notification on followed forums with new posts, yes I know you just got up and running after almost a week but it does no harm to make you aware of issues perhaps a dedicated topic on this forum might be useful ...................like this one

be great to see the improvement after all this time, they usually leave jobs like this unfinished and worse than it was before

ha ha, read comments already posted before I make one, does no harm I guess to let them know were our focus is...........................extortion

lets see the ranking from Jan 1st 2024 when the Thai government tries to steal (tax) money from expats/retirees

and tastes nothing like cod, each to their own I guess

or what are they making the assumption that everyone is driving - just shows the mindset and what the real problem is - they know and assume everyone drinks and drives

believe it or not the UK has a law exactly like this as do most countries in the west, how it is used is a mystery

who is idiot, does he not realise how stupid this is how on earth is this man employed in a highly responsible position getting into a vehicle and driving while drunk has nothing to do with the venue, why not ask the person if they intend to drive before serving them a drink.............like they are going tell it is the sole responsibility of the police to catch and prosecute drunk drivers, if they were actively doing this then just maybe people wouldn't make the choice to do it in the first place

dig a little deeper and you will find the opposite but no doubt there are sinister elements trying to change things, anyway it is off topic for this thread I love cod

nonsense

in other words he is a scammer taking advantage of those on deaths door if he is so convinced then charge on a performance basis, no win no fee, or go back to driving a taxi and stop trying to scam people who are vulnerable

there is a difference between having Chinese police operating on foreign soil and Chinese people making up a police presence in a community in what is effectively their home, I don't agree with either, recruiting from across the community for a balanced approach is always best, shouldn'tmake a difference if the law is being enforced but it is a good look

having an effective police presence on the streets of Thailand would be a nice change but....................... not really workable what would be more effective is if the Thai police understood what their ### job was and did it
