it has only taken three years to get to this first meeting. Shame on you Thailand.

They have been for the last three years.

In theory, if it is an official ticket, you will not be able to get your car tax until it is paid. There was an article about it in AN a while ago.

And next year, they will say......

I agree with your guess. I was on a course entitled 'Thai Law for Foreigners in Thailand' and the law lecturer said the same thing. ie the spirit of Thai law will override the letter of the law. I have also witnessed court cases where the Thai was deemed innocent because the accuser was a foreigner. The evidence was immaterial. In both cases, the evidence would have probably backed the Thai but it never reached that stage.

But do you have a link for Thailand, because that is where most of us are. Cash is definitely king on Koh Samui (where I live and have a business). The guy delivering cooking gas bottles only accepts cash, as does the guy delivering drinking water, as well as those delivering beer and wine. A/C technicians all prefer cash in hand, as do most electricians. The pool supplies company also prefer cash or a bank transfer (from my laptop). Most local restaurants that I know of state 'cash only'. Makro, HomePro, Tops, Big C and Lotus's all happily accept my cash. My cash is never refused. I suppose that the time to worry is when all of you young Turks start paying for your nightly entertainment by QR code.

Did you forget that we are in Thailand? Back to the OP - you have now seen the uselessness of a cashless society that is trying to encourage tourism. QR codes are only for those with their finances in that country. (Singapore being a possible exception.) Credit/debit cards are very rarely accepted where I live. Cash or QR only.

Not quite the same as the others who were joyriding on the beach.

The price of some of these devices amazes me. People must have too much money to spend.

Full Moon Party on KPN ast night. Pretty much everyone would be involved with drugs one way or another.

Probably looking for his next customer on his GRAB app.

I suppose that one truck is better than none. It sounds like a few more may be needed.

Now that the hospital have their money for the first treatment, hopefully he is now banned from that hospital. Or maybe they want to give him an enema?

On this one, I am sure that there are a lot of twists that we have missed and will probably never find.

You forgot about the collapsing scaffolding.

I thought that the reports in the BP and here said that his wife owned the properties. She is independently wealthy.

and it has taken three years for them to say this? Shame on you Thailand.

That is a very definite statement. Do you have a reason for saying that or is it just an opinion? My own view is that he may be clean. Too many people want him out of the way. The dirty ones usually keep a low profile but I will listen to reasoned arguments or the evidence. I would love to hear Chuwit's thoughts on him.

If they tried that here on Koh Samui, even some of the locals running a car rental business would not be eligible to drive their own cars.

I'm sorry. Off topic but what the heck does he have stuffed down the back of his trousers?

If God wanted me to eat only plants, I would have been born a cow. As I was born a human, my body needs a variety of things including real meat. AS a side note, I did read sometime last month that Vegan and 'plant based food' are rapidly going out of fashion in the west. Largely because of cost and the fact that it is highly processed.

In most of Thailand, the road is the footpath. (See photo above.)

Burma - illegal non elected, non democratic government supported by the military, Russia and China. Thailand - illegal non elected, non democratic government supported by the military, Russia and China. Spot the similarities?

They do here. Water gun in one hand and beer/cocktail in the other.

Pie in the sky. Prepared does not mean passed. A bit like the 10,000 baht vote buying scheme perhaps?
