Instead of victim blaming, let's consider the victim. Just one scenario - She is being held captive somewhere and the guy says 'send this message to your folks - or else'. We do not know what is happening. I just hope that she is found alive and well.

Where does it say that please? I cannot find any details as to how he died. Was he swimming and got hit by one? Did it fall off a truck and kill him? Did a fishing boat crash into him? Please enlighten me.

Only for the rich and powerful. There are a few million Thais who would disagree with that comment.

I agree. Also, it is easier to scam folk who go cashless. If someone steals my phone, they do not even see my bank details. (No wifi on it either.)

Not sure that this project is real or not. It was not that long ago that the latest QEII or whatever she is called, had to cancel a visit as the waters were too shallow. At Taling Ngam, Koh Samui, a beautiful beach on the West of the Island, there is a lot of reef. A nice, quiet undeveloped part of Samui the last time that I was there. Oh well. As long as there is money to be made. 😢

Guests arriving on Koh Samui are often stuck because they have no Thai cash. Do 'digital wallets' etc work across borders? Do Europeans know about TrueMoney Wallet? Excuse my ignorance but having lived on the island for 24 years, I only use cash. Little else works unless you want to pay charges.

Please can I have more (money) Mr PM?

He is possibly the only politician who can wrest power from the generals. Pick your poison folk.

sadly, if the lad recovers, he will probably go looking for a gun. Then ........

I think that you may find that you are in a minority here. Lots of Thais that I speak to still support him. Always have and always will. NB I do not speak to many ultra rich, generals or influencers.

Why just pick on Thaksin? What about all of the 'generals' and rich businessmen?

And so are Clear Air Turbulence and air pockets. They exist in clear air. Idiot

It was an overnight flight. Time zone differences? It would be breakfast time in the UK for some.

Conversely, it is an id card for Thailand. Not for the USA, UK or wherever. Ergo - it is a Thai 'id card'.

I do not understand the heading. From what I see and read, there are very few restrictions on weed and they are ignored by the sellers anyway. There are far more restrictions on alcohol and again, many ignore them (in Thailand).

Lucky that no one seems to have been injured.

Lots of folk have more than one passport these days. My friend from Hong Kong has three.

Good luck and I hope that you find your friend safe and well.

I think that the press should maybe think twice about keep publishing photos of their esteemed leader hobnobbing with a company that harbours a fugitive from justice.

No point. The racing calendar is already full. There are other cities already in the queue for a slot.

He was named in the article in AN yesterday.

The people who run the dive schools would love to have Thai employees teaching their customers. Unfortunately, not many Thais want to do the job.

With Uncle Tu at the head of the table?

Police Hospital here I come?
