Another new pathetic law that don't make any sense at all, Car safety seats for children.

But it's quite okay and legal to drive a motorbike one handed while holding a child in their other arm.

What a joke his place needs to think very carefully before bringing out new laws.

All Thais living in the UK should also be made to take the vaccine and PAY for it too.

I don't mind to pay but I do beleive it should be the same for all....

Don't know where you are from, but 90 day only requires ONE (1) document - tm47 plus passport.  Since they opened the new facility at the airport, it has never taken me more than 5 minutes from the time I walk in till the time I walk out. 

You don't need anything only your passport, you should have a paper inside with expiry date to report from when you last reported there is a barcode on it all they do is read the barcode and that's it.

I am normally in and out in 5 -10 minutes.

Even better now i've started doing it online with my phone.

Common sense finally finds a foothold in the country. Everything he was ever accused of happened outside Thailand so his imprisonment was a travesty. I suspect he will be leaving minus all of his assets though, which undoubtedly will also never be received by the Dutch.

What common sense?  Common sense does not exist in any way or form in Thailand.

Absolutely right. It's gone too far already. Going for such absurdly high damages payments has tarnished Unsworth's rep much more than any tweet would have.

 

Now is the time to walk away with dignity fully intact.

I agree and be careful Vern that the lawyer is not trying to take you to the cleaners or that Musk sues you, I'd hate to hear either happen to you, let it be we all know you was in the right.

I've seen the massive mural painting on the wall at Tham Luang of all those that helped in the rescue you are is in the middle "Musk" is nowhere to be seen, 5555 be happy with that and your memories.

I can't blame the police for this

i live here and i am also stopped at the check points for controls

drive licence, insurance, tax, alcool and whatever

i have never had to pay something, 

And i do not want to be killed or wounded on the road by a rented big motorbike

drived by a drunk stupid tourist with no licence and who have no clue about the drive in Thailand.

what a load of rubbish, I have been here since 1990 and have been stopped many times at check points here in Pattaya and also around Thailand not 1 time has the police ever asked to see my car insurance, check the road tax, disk or the blue book of the car (log book) could be a stolen car for all they know, don't check your tires if their worn out the only thing they look at (sometimes) is my driving licence.

In Pattaya the police are nothing more than money blood suckers, very rarely have they even ask for my driving licence maybe now more with the new laws, they just stop you and stick a dirty tube in your face that god knows how many people have blown into it before you and tell you to blow, its a police money grabbing farce that sticks out a mile, the p olice are to blame.

In all these years I personally have never paid a baht to them because I do not drink and drive, I have a driving licence nothing else is really needed.

so she cuts 2 pages out of her passport and complains when she gets detained.

Totally her own fault you don't personally cut or change anything in a passport document, if so you are just asking for trouble and that is what happened locked up, not treated as an animal but treated as a criminal.

Now she's is looking for Cheap Publicity showing her camel toe seeing she is unemployed.

Is that her passport photo?....LOL

I went to a 7/11 last night and bought an ice cream and they was going to put it into a plastic bag...LOL

I went to an island on Friday for 3 nights the hotel I had booked did not ask me for my passport or any ID and I didn't fill anything out, I just paid for the 3 nights and left a 500 baht deposit they gave me the key and that was that.

So let me get this right, two tiered pricing and decorating temples with action figures and cartoon characters and you want tourists to treat temples with respect? Now I agree there can be some crude and offensive behavioreven to western standards and that is completely unacceptable. However, given that tourists are treated like cash cows some leniency should be given. 

I totally disagree with you, all sacred religious places anywhere in the world whether its your religion or not should be treated with the greatest of respect the surrounding walls are part of the temple and should be treated in the same way, look at them take photos no problem, being a fool and climbing on them be prepared to accept the consequences, better still if you are not respectful why visit them in the first place.

Just w--kers

All this technical bullshit, why not explain in layman terms what have to do, to not get it!!!

“The best dengue prevention methods that everyone is encouraged to follow are to avoid mosquito bites and eliminate spawning grounds of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This is the most effective way to keep dengue outbreak under control,” she said.

But it's okay for 10 year old Thai kids to ride them without a license or helmet and a danger to everyone. 

Get your facts right! Chokchai 4 village doesn't have security and the entrance road is poorly lit (I am not siding with the bloke with the bike) it had them for about the first few years after it was built, but as the norm here many Thais didn't pay the maintenance fees so the pool and bar was sold off and no more security guards, plus there are no lines anywhere in the village.

How do you hit a parked car - poor eyesight, drunk, drugged, half asleep, not paying attention, texting, playing FB or Line, talking on your mobile, or just plain careless. Take your pick!

I doubt any of the above you mentioned seeing as he was not Thai.

I'm totally with the lady on this one.  Too many old geezers who have no business being on a motorcycle, let alone attempting to drive one. 

Iv'e never heard so much crap, I wouldn't call 67 old geezer as you say, also there many more dangerous young idiots riding motorcycles,  

It is Chokchai 4 housing estate, not Choke Chai 4 housing estate

Finding a cellphone in an airport (with no intent to return it) is stealing.  Putting it in your pocket and walking out with it with no attempt to hand it over to the airport authorities is the same as stealing it.

 

If you go to the airport and "find" a unattended piece of luggage (or bag) that is not yours and you walk out with it and take it home is that not stealing?  What exactly is the difference in "finding" a piece of luggage and a "finding" a cell phone then??

 

I don't expect to get an answer ...but PLEASE surprise me.

I agree with you about that, but what i'm trying to explain its always the farlang at the wrong end of the stick never a Thai person.

Going back to my previous story my friend with his wife drove back for the phone they lost but the Thai person waiting for them only gave them back their SIM card but would not give them back the phone because they insisted they found it so it was now theirs.

Where's the evidence that he stole it?

Did you read the story I posted previously about my friends phone?

Thais tend to think finders keepers but not so when it comes to forlangs.

One law for Thais another for farlangs

You cannot "find" things , if you take something that isnt yours , you are stealing said item .

Sorry I do not agree.

Stealing and finding are a big difference, stealing is with intent to do so. Finding something has no intent to do so.

Well murders (Thai) get released on bail,so why not a Farang

that allegedly stole a phone.

regards worgeordie

He did not steal it he found it a big difference that always only goes against farlangs here and not Thais, not a surprise tourism is going down the drain in Thailand 

A few years ago on the outskirts of Pattaya watching a hot air ballon festival the wife of a friend of mine lost her phone there she noticed when she arrived home, so they rang the number of her phone and a Thai person answered it, to cut a long story short the Thai person said yes they found the phone and would wait for my friend with his wife to come back to the festival but he would only give them back her SIM card not the phone he would keep that seeing he found it.

Another story me and a friend of mine went to a department store near Leam Chabang on motorbikes.

 My friend forgot his keys on the bike when we returned to the parking area we asked the security guard and he had the keys in his pocket but would not give them back to my friend unless he left him a good tip.  To give a tip to the security guard is correct but for a security guard to insist on a good tip is not correct at all.

THAI MENTALITY IS UNBELIEVABLE
