Here is a video of it. Warning, shocking content. Reckless U-turn + reckless driving by the kid. https://www.facebook.com/onenews31/videos/445774085072390

It would be very harsh to jail a grieving parent. Fines and campaigns would do it (especially fines).

Yeah but that was before "the new normal".

Depends on the book. A really good one can be read in a couple of days (if I have the time).

Unfeasible in so many ways… I'm going to forget about it and let it disappear under the carpet. Last time I said that was over a year ago, about the "crackdown on those who use agents". How's that going?

He's the owner of Addzest Carcolor, a garage in Bkk, I wouldn't call him an influencer or YouTuber, Chat GPT's presentation is misleading. He does have a large following on social media though.

This nearly happened to me a long time ago, I jammed the brake and missed him by a quarter of an inch… Lesson learnt, always look left first when in this situation.

So not a tourist then (as reported in the article)?

Meat is good for you.

Israeli influence agent. Far-right Tommy Robinson declares himself a ‘Zionist’ in leaked video The footage ends with Robinson saying: “Palestine! <deleted> Palestine. Why would you support Palestine,” adding: “If there was a war tomorrow, which probably there would be, I would be there in the front line fighting for Israel”. In another incident, a former Israeli soldier who was a member of Tommy Robinson’s campaign addressed protestors on a London street saying: “no matter what the left call us, I am the world’s proudest Jewish Nazi”. https://www.everand.com/article/399761532/Far-Right-Tommy-Robinson-Declares-Himself-A-Zionist-In-Leaked-Video

I have noticed it too. The current government has decided to flood the country with foreign money to compensate the Covid disaster. Exactly how this will benefit the average Thai remains to be seen, the "trickle-down effect" seldom works, it didn't work in the West (which partly explains why an increasing number of impoverished Western middle-class people are seeking to live in cheaper places like Thailand… it's a vicious cycle).

Sorry for my ignorance, but is that 120k per month?

Well there is the 500k requirement.

This is a very important point which has not been addressed yet, to my knowledge. It is the first thing I thought of when I read about this visa. What qualifies as a "digital nomad"? This is a vague notion. Presumably not Youtubers (no offense to the Youtubers reading this). Is it solely for people working remotely for a foreign company, i.e. with a valid employment contract? Is there a minimum employment time to qualify (e.g. one has to have been employed for at least two years)? What about freelancers? If I am self-employed in a European country, do I qualify? Under what conditions (proof of turnover – and if so, how many years, there too, what is the minimum duration of activity)? Is it restricted to certain fields?

Birth rates have dropped significantly and consistently throughout most of the world over the past three years.

Correct indeed.

I'm not asserting anything, but when you take a step back, it is very unlikely that nobody should know where that guy is, if he is indeed hospitalized. It is beginning to look like a classic case of online hype gone viral uncontrollably. The first thing we all should have asked ourselves is "where is the ambulance", the guy didn't just vanish into thin air, with all the witnesses around. The police should have known within minutes which hospital he was in.

We actually don't know how hurt they were. Even the guy who delivered the "penalty kick", despite the dramatic run, could have refrained at the last second and hit a non-lethal area such as the jaw… Update: Pattaya Police Release CCTV, Give Update on Health of Foreign Tourist Involved in Viral Brawl with Security Guards on Soi Six Despite what Pattaya police call heavy false online rumors and gossip, Pattaya police have announced that an unidentified foreigner involved in a viral brawl with Soi 6 guards over the past weekend was NOT, according to the police, seriously injured, in a coma, or deceased and have released what they say is city CCTV footage of the group walking back to a hotel after the incident. https://thepattayanews.com/2024/05/27/update-pattaya-police-release-cctv-give-update-on-health-of-foreign-tourist-involved-in-viral-brawl-with-security-guards-on-soi-six/

Is that not a big hole at the back of his t-shirt (0:10 - 0:12)? Looks like it.

Well actually when you think about it, there would have been an ambulance and people would know where it was headed. Probably Pattaya Memorial Hospital as it is the closest to Soi 6. In any case it would be very easy to know in which hospital he was, Pattaya is small.

I am talking about the guy in the grey t-shirt. Look at him at 0:10, just before he disappears.

Yes it is, look at the final seconds.

Checks out, actually. The guy's grey t-shirt is torn on the video, so it is presumably after the incident indeed. Also, reading the Sun article, it does say "There are rumours that he is in intensive care but we haven't heard anything from hospitals."

Yep… but that would still be the right way to tackle the issue IMO… even if it means less establishments get to open.

Hiring trained Thai personnel would be enough. These guys obviously have no formal training in handling such situations.
