Obviously he was a man committed to the school and dedicated to his job. A sad accident.

Strange. Does that mean that the man was lying down as if having a rest?

The funny thing is that as soon as one goes abroad, they have to use cash and the ATM card! Isn't progress wonderful.

Totally agree. I worked in software development for 30+ years. No way would I put most of the apps that Thailand touts on my phone. I do not even have the wifi switched on. I was talking to some guys who worked on the WhatsApp software and they agreed with me. Unfortunately, they HAD to use it. Many young guys in software development say the same thing - minimum apps.

I for one had no idea that hydrogen sulfide gas formed in wells and I have have one. That is the great thing about being old. You realise just how little you really know and you are constantly learning. There are many, many wells here on Samui but I do not know anyone who has a gas detector for them.

Well done Kris. You get the citizen of the year award.

Dinosaurs Rule. OK?

Great. So nutters from all over the third world know that they can go to the UK and have free food and lodging.

I tend to treat casualty figures from Hamas and Hezbollah in the same way as I believe in the tooth fairy. Both groups could not tell the truth even if their existence depended on it. The governments of both Gaza and Lebanon are so infiltrated by the terrorist's supporters that there is more then a smidgen of doubt in what they say.

Good old Prawit using his cronies to rake up mud and cause trouble. Prawit is on the way out and is going to take as many others as he can with him. Especially those that have snubbed him.

Prawit and his cronies are determined to go down kicking and screaming and taking as many others as possible with them.

Thailand is not very 'handicapped' friendly. He/you will find it very challenging.

I have not seen any either. Maybe my laptop has come out in sympathy with your one.

And that is just one of the problems with the education system. It is supposed to be free. No winners in this story. Everyone is a victim.

I am sure that most mothers would feel that way. A very sad story.

It will depend as to whether or not your onward flight is domestic or International. If you are transferring to a domestic flight eg Samui, Krabi etc then you will be processed by immigration in Bangkok. If it is International to International - then immigration will be at your final destination.

Sadly, Dr Puangthong is likely to end up in gaol at this rate. Detained without bail under archaic laws. I hope not, but the dinosaur generals are panicking.

Deportations to Australia stopped in the 19th century. That would make the lad 120 years old plus some.

At least he wasn't driving when he fell asleep. 'Brake failure' avoided.

The scanners are quite impressive. I was taking my wife's ashes to her family in the UK. They were in a checked-in suitcase. I was stopping off for a couple of days to see friends in Turkey on the way. I was scanned and searched on arrival in Turkey and again on arrival in Birmingham.

Sorry, but the guy is a right nincompoop. Smuggling drugs and trying to use two young kids as cover? Hopefully, the 41 year old woman is their mother.

In the States, a mass shooting is where more than 4 people are killed or wounded. From The Telegraph -

Technically, you do need a work permit for volunteer or charity work. However, it is down to the individual in charge. I was at a meeting that was trying to sort out beach patrol and life saving here on the island. I asked the mayor if I would need a work permit in order to help. His response was that no one will ever have a problem doing volunteer work that helps the community or saves lives. No work permit needed. I have said this many times - there is the letter of Thai law and there is the spirit of Thai law. Spirit wins every time.

🖕 maybe?

Why would he wear a life vest if he was fishing from the bank of the river? Or are you assuming that he was in a boat on that fast flowing water?
