  1. Easy come, easy gone. He may have gained the money from corruption.
  2. How long has it been since he has cleaned the water tank and washing machine? Maintainance is often not prioritized in Thailand.
  3. From the original article: "Astonishingly, the Chinese employer even provided them with 900,000 baht to cover their transportation expenses" "If they wished to return home, they would be required to pay a repatriation fee of 190,000 baht to the employer" So still a good profit then, unless they flew in a private jet!
  4. Flash floods in Bangkok. Has that ever happened before? Would it be in the canals or in the river? What time should we evacuate??
  5. A few weeks ago, when I took a taxi home from Suvarnabhumi airport, the taxi driver was on 2 phones at the same time. He used some kind of app to record and send voice messages and had to press the screen when he was speaking. Then the persons in the other ends would reply and the conversations would go on and on. In my thousands of taxi rides in Thailand, not a single driver has met my expectations, that the driver should be polite, not be on the mobile phone, not listen to the radio or watch a movie and keep both hands at the steering wheel when driving with passengers.
  6. Piccolo means small size in italian language!
  7. Vote buying without honoring the payment. Time to give the votes back to the people by dissolving Pheu Thai Party!
  8. The Yellow Line system has postponed announced opening dates so many times, so that when they do actually open, nobody will believe it. For years motorists have been held hostage in severe traffic jams, while most of the time few or no workers have been seen around the cordoned off parts of the road.
  9. I totally agree. As a bonus Southeast Pharmacy sells at wholesale prices.
  10. If you wish to avoid tourists, don't go the the main tourist areas og Bangkok!
  11. If business is as uaual, the only thing that is keeping MF to get the PM, is the size of the brown envelopes distributed to the senators.
  12. Many new pockets to be filled after the election.
  13. 10,000 Baht in the wallet is more important to the majority of Thais than free Marihuana. Most voters are not even tax-payers and will be more than happy to let others pay the bill. Why hasn't the Pheu Thai party not been banned for this vote buying policy?
  14. So when will the Election Commission ban the Pheu Thai party from the upcoming election??
  15. Running away from the scene like scared chicken. How brave ???????? I hope that they get to spend the remaining of their holiday in detention.
  16. GoAir - Go First - Go Fund me Airlines.
  17. Maybe it's more likely that he had tried to replace his Schizophrenia medicine with Marihuana. Lunatics doesnt always act rationally. I noticed in the video, that the bib used a win rider as a battering ram.
  18. The beach chair vendors are already placing large orders for millions of new beach chairs! It is already getting harder and harder to find small undeveloped placed for people, who are not happy to spend their holidays together with unmannered mass-tourists.
  19. "4 operations later the the insurance money has run out and there are a further 2 options required, one of which will be tomorrow" To be able to pay such unexpected costs, is exactly why expats are required to show 400,000 or 800,000 Baht in the bank, when extending their visa's.
  20. I large problem here in Thailand is, that a colossal and powerful pick-up truck is often cheaper than a small sedan, why many entry level drivers opt to start out large, when a smaller sedan would fully have covered their basic needs. Put an extra tax on all those pick-up trucks, which are only used for daily driving, and not for everyday work purposes, which they are created for. Or the authorities could require a few years experience in a smaller sedan, before they are allowed to drive a larger and potentially more deadly vehicle.
  21. "The Loi Kroh neighbourhood, where Boyle was last seen, is a well-known red-light area in Chiang Mai. " I would be concerned too, if I was his friend. Maybe he raked up a bill, that was suddenly larger than he was able to pay, or a prostitute had an alternative way to get money from the customer??
  22. The Motorbike rental shops should held responsible and punished, every time they rent out a motorbike without checking, that the renter has the correct permit to drive the vehicle in Thailand.
  23. This Law is insane, but any Thai citizen knows, that alcohol advertising is currently illegal. A review for beer should be considered advertisement, or else we would be drowning in advertisements for alcoholic drinks camoflaged as reviews. Law is Law and is supposed to be followed in any country in the world. If only all other laws in Thailand was enforced just as strictly, there would be far less deadly traffic accidents and far less violent attacks and shootings.
  24. Only the locals. Unfortunately NOT most of the tourists!
