My sim is also in my wifes name. This because the phone companies did not allow me to have a post paid account with them, without having a work permit. Why is this information shared only on the day it is effective? Would have been nice to have a little time to get things changed.

Pattaya Police Take Action Against Soi 6 Security Guards for Assault on Tourists https://thepattayanews.com/2024/05/27/pattaya-police-take-action-against-soi-6-security-guards-for-assault-on-tourists/

The video does not match the article, since they were driving in different directions. The video does not show the accident itself, but it is not hard to imagine, that the vendor probably made a right turn in front of the brit who was driving at high speed in opposite direction.

Why did he die in a Bangkok hospital, if the accident happened in Phuket?

I have visited a few of these provinces and wouldn't mind to visit more of them, if I could only find some decent restaurants and hotels there!

I could suggest a faster working way of suicide. Remember that hunger strike is just a slow way to commit suicide

Giving inmates a harsh prison term, will deter many others from becoming criminals, which is a great benefit to society!

My theory: Imagine a very small woman in a very large car. She would hardly be able to see above the dashboard. Going up on a ramp would make her see absolutely nothing in front of the car. Only when the car is on level ground after having left the ramp, she will suddenly have seen the parked car in front of her, probably panicked and pushed the accellerator instead of the brake. Having a small wife myself, I have never understood why they keep making the dashboards higher in new cars, but I guess that it must be for the drivers and passengers safety. But solving one safety problem by raising the dashboards, will just create another safety problem, when smaller people are behind the wheel. Here in Bangkok, I have driven with several taxi drivers who barely had a view above the dashboard in their Toyota Altis.

It seems that he actually was driven to Sattahip by the motorcycle taxi. Did he actually pay for the ride, or did the driver take the passengers mobile phone as collatteral for missing payment?

When Thailand offer visa free entrance for certain countries, they should also accept, that not all them are well behaved.

One could only hope, that this will hit international news just as hard, as when the swiss guy gently kicked the female doctor away from "his" stairs! A country with such a negligent police force, deserves to be avoided by many tourists.

Why not ban real cigarettes with tobacco as well? They are without doubt killing and making more people sick, than if all smokers switched to vaping. We all know that problem is, that there is no monopoly that controls e-cigarettes. At least vape smells better than tobacco smoke and people don't throw the cigarette butts everywhere, or in smelly ashtrays.

To my best understanding, home insurances in Thailand normally doesn't cover anything worth stealing!

So how did the steering ropes snap, when they have been inspected on a regular basis?

The police should rather catch som of the many thai's driving around with modified exhaust systems on their motorbikes and cars. I live in what used to be a quiet village, but these days all the delivery bikes and trucks are polluting the area with noise. I don't understand why the delivery companies are allowing this, and how these often older vehicles can pass the annual inspections with modified exhaust systems.

Or maybe they should just leave Thailand, if they don't like it here?

Isn't he seriously sick?

That's probably why they are all avoiding to do this job!

I can't wait to see how the exchange rate of the THB will change dramatically, after the money has been distributed.

I guess that the funding from Dubai has dried out, now Taksin is back in Thailand.

Thai drivers very often cut in front of me on the roads, exactly like this Benz did, most likely hoping that I will notice them and brake before I hit them.

Why seize the vehicles?

Just another "get rich in a hurry" scheme to line the pockets of the already rich tourism operators.
