Goodness me, the unguided missile has finally said something sensible.

It's about the kids. Not many Thai fathers vape according to them.

Just a quick update, the number of flights into Samui each day is slowly increasing - 41 today. I notice that Tibet Airlines are flying here again. Not sure when they started coming. Probably 3 times a week if they return to the same service as before. Just a reminder if anyone is thinking of a holiday here. Pre-book the rental car. The reputable companies often run out of cars during busy season.

Sad that most Thais think that wing mirrors are only to be used when squeezing zits.

But Thailand, why would Burma shoot at your vessels and kidnap your citizens? You are their friend. You help their generals to launder their drug money and you send innocent refugees back to Burma to be conscripted. (Note - there maybe a hint of sarcasm in the above comment.)

The science might be clear, but people's prejudices blurs things a little.

I agree. Back in the day, immigration were less desperate for money and publicity. That seemed to all change about 10 - 15 years ago. Not sure when, it just seemed to have sneaked in.

Pots and kettles methinks.

As I understand things, if you go to the immigration people before you leave and admit that you are an overstay, then yes, stamp and a fine for 21 days overstay. If you just try to leave and hope that no one notices, then yes - arrested. Immigration here on Samui check passports for overstays for foreigners catching the early ferries. They are often on visa runs.

And that thought will stay with her for the rest of her life. Very sad.

Not the sharpest pencil in the box.

What???

Hmm. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Good old Anutin. Jumping on the publicity bandwagon.

That is one sick SOB

Hopefully the apartment owner recorded a TM 30 so they will have a photo and all other passport details.

So it seems that Thai police can only capture foreign criminals wanted on a Red Notice. Thai ones are left alone. eg Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya

Trucks like that one are used for transporting sugar cane. The elephants stop them and grab some for a snack. Once the elephant is eating, the truck driver knows that it is OK to drive on. The prats in the car are lucky that the elephant did not go over and 'sort them out'. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=video+od+elephants+stopping+trucks+in+thailand&atb=v352-1&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DIxGPyoml9C4

And this is how Thailand fudges the 'death by road accident' numbers. These poor souls did not 'die' in the accident. They died in the ambulance or in the hospital. The real numbers are frightening but we do not know them.

Electrocution is a serious risk during flooding. It is one reason why the electricity companies do not ant to put their cables underground.

You only need two companies. When setting them up, the timing is important. ie not at the same time. Set up Company A with temporary Thai share holders. (Lawyer?) Set up company B later. Company A is the 100% Thai shareholder of Company B. (Juristic person.) Then Company B buys the shares from the original temporary Thai shareholders. Both companies are 100% owned by a Thai juristic person. Only one director in each company - you. (This rule may have changed.)

Insurance companies are not allowed to pay out where criminal acts are concerned. It is against the law if they do. So if one is riding a scooter without a helmet or a valid driving licence, or whilst drunk or under the influence of drugs etc the insurance company should not be paying out.

I did this for my wife when she died. From memory, I just had to send a copy of her passport, marriage certificate, police report and death certificate. The embassy staff were very helpful and efficient. Probably need a relative to be involved.

Brave lad. Gave his life trying to save another.

Read some of the UK daily rags. Sometimes see car cams of people overtaking and wiping innocent people out. Normal does not exist any more.
