smedly

clear as mud and a lot of mud yes I was just innocently sitting having fish supper and these guys came in and demanded I pay them $50,000 deport them all to Russia - Putin will provide them with a free holiday to Ukraine

nope

the baht hasn't tumbled, the $ has increased against all currencies, they have really wierd way of looking at things

the general public in Thailand have no idea the amount of money these ### are stealing from them, they just don't understand all the zeros, it is pretty much the same ### that has gone on in Russia - people enriching themselves to a level they cannot comprehend, budgets upon budgets these last 2 years - where is the money ???????, oh that's right - nobody knows because the department that is supposed to look at such things are also enriching themselves, plus the current administration have exempted themselves from declaring earnings over the last 10 years - how open and transparent is that, the people have a right to protest - if only they knew just how much money is involved - but they don't, 5 digits and they are lost which is a shame, so I say go protest - you deserve it

it is not natural I stopped wearing a mask the day it was allowed not to although I do prefer Anutin keeps wearing one

common sense would tell most people to slow down when going through a red light and proceed with extreme caution There is nothing new in this story - there is severe lack of common sense generally on Thai roads, I almost wish this had been 10t truck and not a motorbike. Although the advice given in the OP is sound, what should also be happening is mandatory training for all emergency vehicle drivers teaching them how to safely negotiate a red light or any road junction RIP

look no further than Japan

not how it works

maybe a mod could close this thread as it gone seriously off topic

jail the parents

very sad RIP that is some pretty serious damage, as already mentioned that car must have been going at very high speed, anyone know where this happened - was it a major road or in a built up area and was it at a crossing..........shocking to say the least and is the genius in government these last few years ................ none other than acting PM Prawit, what a stellar job he's been doing

seems that an order came from the cops yesterday evening instructing every bar and entertainment venue to shut across the city at midnight, no explanation has been given for this but my guess is that it was linked to the removal of the Pattaya police chief - a do you know who I /we are kind of statement, either by him or his ranks, a very obvious abuse of power to issue such an order to businesses across the city who are legally allowed to open until 2am That's my take on it - I can think of no other reason for such a thing to happen

I think I am getting it after all these years they simply have no clue what corruption actually is

I am not anti-weed and yes I do take the odd beer now and again but I don't abuse it and I don't drink and drive, I have other reasons why wide spread use of cannabis is quite frankly wrong - here's a clue - alcohol is bad enough with having a population spaced out on another drug, also there is strong evidence that long term use and abuse of cannabis causes issues with the brain, I happen to know a couple of long term cannabis users and they are quite unstable and have problems that I won't go into

the only thing I have seen recently from Pattaya police is shutting down bars for no good reason - but I think everyone on here knows the reason, all the bars that I have seen shut had all the correct papers and licences ............ go figure

did he kill anyone ? how many drunk drivers travelled on this road +/- 5 hours of this, well you would never know until they run into a tree or cause a fatal accident................oooooops to late then right ? stupid

fool watch how this evolves and who controls it, all about money it will take a while but at some point someone will realize this was a very stupid thing to do

to the OP - it rains heavy it floods just like anywhere else - check the weather forcast if it concerns you

been here a long time and first choice for anything medical, can't say one bad thing about the place .................... so far

is that two jail terms that you should have got if you hadn't fled with the loot

just as well they don't have wheels

so she went to police basically saying her life was in danger and is now dead......................................all quite normal - she tripped and fell

very unusual in Thailand the safest tourist HUB and most tranquil country for all to visit this story is missing the usual ................. "Bang" normally and commonly associated with violence here, probably left out to maintain the stellar image

charged with having a full wallet the stupidity in this country is astounding, just as well is doesn't snow here

mirror mirror on the wall who's the ## of them all out of interest what do you see ?
