Typical deflection by the powers that be. If they cannot take the (rightful) criticism, they roll out Section 112 in defence.

100 baht in 1993. The story does not ring true. First, the policeman was no 'allegedly bribing the YouTuber', he was requesting a bribe. OK - bad English maybe. Why is the event being published now? YouTuber run out of original stuff? I do not think that any road traffic policeman will remember one particular bribe received approx 7 years ago. As far as I know, they do not keep records of bribes. The whole thing is a 'wait until it dies down'.

Well said. Do not give in to the corrupt PM.

Ignore indyo. There are a lot of lovely ladies around, but very few hang around in bars. There are some but difficult to spot. If you are working, the girls in the workplace will be fine as long as you are polite and respectful. If you are a retired beach bum - more difficult. Talk to local people, away from bars and tourist places. I have been close to a few Thai ladies since my wife died but I am not ready to commit. (Too old anyway.)

Nite Hunter IPA (6.8%) Thai beer. Orion The Dark (Okinawa). M32 IPA Thai beer Carabao Dunkel Tawandang IPA All in Tops And a few more. Fed up after 24 years of lager.

What with the Russian drowning on Sunday In related news, a Russian man drowned on Sunday, June 16 after swimming in the sea at Surin Beach in Phuket and a few close encounters yesterday, people in Phuket need to take care. https://aseannow.com/topic/1330227-tourists’-phuket-beach-fun-turns-into-life-or-death-drama/

And the people who need it will be unable to get it as it is only available on a smartphone using an app. Scammers are waiting. And if anyone really believes that every Thai has a smartphone, look again.

Well said sir. Unfortunately dinosaurs are deaf.

But no request for peace talks in Burma.

So the contractor will have to 'cut corners' in order to finish quickly and not loose too much money. Expect more repair works in the future folks. That's not going to help the pipe dream in the previous article Pattaya to become Southeast Asia’s premier destination

Unbelievable that anyone actually makes that statement.

More possible Soi dogs if the police are not careful in choosing owners Many people these days fall in love with a cute, adorable puppy. Then when the appetite grows and more food is needed. Vets bills. Exercise etc etc Then we have an abandoned dog.

That would have taken a while to build and there would have been heavy construction traffic. Yet the park rangers saw nothing?

Gorgeous beasts. Note to self - do not go to a NP on the motorbike!

Unless the fat-butted government get off those butts and actually do something for the poorer people, folk like this have no options. It's burn or starve for many. Lots of money available for major projects that only big business want, but nothing in support of people like this. Just telling them to stop burning isn't going to fix the problem. NB to the esteemed leaders of this wonderful country - a one-off, 10,000 baht payment that is only available on a smart phone is not going to help them.

Seems crazy to me. Just another major project spend that will become a white elephant. Suratthani International airport is just down the road and they have less than 10 flights a day at the moment. All domestic. Never mind that the economy is tanking. Never mind that many Thais are struggling. Let's spend money on major projects for our friends that buy us our positions. At one flight per day, it should be closed down and save money. F 1 track perhaps?

As mum used to say 'You have to earn the money before you can spend it'.

But it is not new. It is 10 years old! 🤮

Goodbye sir. An interesting and very 'varied' life lived to the full. May your final journey be a peaceful one.

I went to BNH. Soi Convent? Bangkok. It was 70,000 baht self insured. They have an offer on at the moment. It was supposed to finish 30/04 but you can still book it. https://mbrace.bnhhospital.com/en/product/colon_cancer_screening/

In our work, we all make mistakes in life. No one is exempt. Luckily, for most of us, they are not life threatening. No one sues us for trillions of $$$. We get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again. I feel sorry for medical workers - they are human too. Sadly though, it is often a life or death situation, that is why they are usually ultra cautious. That is why I agree with kbb above. (Minorities speaking out.) It is sad that the American 'sue 'til you are broke' culture has now morphed all over the world.

And a dying economy, thanks to ignorance, does does not help either.

It has been around since Noah was a lad. It is just that before social media, people just paid up. Now, people are more aware - which is probably the positive thing about social media.

There was a recent case of a first responder at the scene of an accident (motorbike?) and his AED failed to work. However manual resuscitation revived her and they shipped her off to hospital. He saved her life. Sorry, cannot remember if it was printed here or in the BP.

Are you serious? The life guards have zero authority to stop someone going into the water, never mind fining anyone.
