A social media circus. A poor little girl is dead and her family may never get over it. Very sad. ☹️

Nice one. Thank you.

One can buy borrow a very decent watch or two for 50 million baht.

Yes. Adults were mostly outside eating lunch whilst the poor little mites were inside sleeping. Shot the adults outside, shot a few children until the gun was empty then knifed the rest. Gut wrenching just thinking about the horror. Luckily, most kids were asleep I believe.

Totally agree with Dave. On the island, I use Bank of Ayudhya. The exchange places are not as competitive as they were. In Bangkok (Sukhumvit) I use vasuexchangedotcom At the airport (train station) I use superrichthailanddotcom The last two offer similar rates. It is just down to convenience.

And that is the sum total of instruction from the government? Please stop these vote catching stories where the government do nothing except take photo opportunities from the people's misery.

Another good article by the Thai enquirer. Thank you. Lots of common sense there which is more than can be said for the vote catching, photo opportunities by the PM in other articles.

Try talking to Supot Electric on the ring road between Bophut and Maenam (closer to Bophut).

These signs should be posted all over the country. Especially outside government buildings in Bangkok.

☹️

How can it be a monopoly? There is also AIS.

But Prawit said.......

Why stop there? Nutters with guns can kill all children - any age.

☹️ RIP

Totally agree. It's all for the coming election. Blood money for the publicity. When I make donations it is a private thing. I do however, have more sympathy for the individual police that are making personal donations instead of tax payers money.

☹️ RIP

This is most sensible thing that I have read about this hoo-ha.

A great vote catcher. Look like you are doing something positive when you know that you will not be around when it fails. Blame the replacement PM with a 'it would have been fixed if you had kept me in power'!

Here on Samui, Immigration and police often do sweeps of an area looking for illegal workers, overstays and people who do not report to immigration correctly. (TM 30 etc.) It is a nice little earner for them. Although in this case, it seems that she was dobbed in.

Hand himself in. As I understand it, if Immigration collar him before he does that, it is gaol (until sorted) and a bigger fine. Here on Samui, Immigration used to check for overstays walking onto the ferries. (People heading for border bounces.) Bigger fines and more 'bonus's'. To be fair, I have not heard of any cases lately. If he hands himself in - be packed and ready to go. They will possibly deport him. Re domestic travel - I use my Thai driving licence. No passport needed. Any photo id should be OK. (I once used a membership card for Taronga Zoo by mistake.) However, every Immigration Office interprets the laws slightly differently. Sounds like he has a friend in the local one.

Yes - Tanzania was brilliant. Ngorogoro crater - nothing like it anywhere. I cannot see Rooster and Mrs R enjoying that one though.

Sorry Rooster. No like emoji from me any more. How can there be a voting system without a sad emoji. Enjoyed the article but I have stopped voting. And we can only vote like, thumbs up, love it, thanks and ha-ha? ☹️ Sick.

The Thai government will buy into it because the CCP will tell them to.

Sadly, if it does not affect the rich in Bangkok, this government (along with many before them) does not give a schittt.

I do worry when I read about 'bodies being sent for an autopsy' here in Thailand. My wife died in her sleep here on Samui. No known illnesses. I was told that her body was to be sent to Suratthani for an autopsy, so I delayed the funeral. Her family flew out from the UK to attend the funeral. I continually asked - when will the autopsy be completed? No answer. After more than a week, I was asked for money for storage in the morgue as well as a 'release fee' and still no dates. I asked for help from a local 'do you know who I am' that knew my wife and he had the body released that day. There never was an autopsy. This is a high profile case and so I am sure that there will be some autopsies. But I always have concerns when I read those words.
