Sorry I had to laugh, although this is serious business... Feel sorry for grandma, she had nothing to do with it!

Yes, it seems that the solution to almost every problem is guns (American example?)

4 men with minimal 4 guns fired 31 shots and only damaged the door and the house a bit; grandma was obviously collateral damage... I hate guns and will never have one, but these guys are unbelievable amateurs.

Maybe grandma can take 31 shots at them, as compensation. That would be absolutely great and swift justice

Phuket: never boring

Mafia provides full entertainment in every sector on this once so beautiful island

RIP Phuket

Musicians aren't allowed to have a personal opinion that differs from the fanatic Red Shirt opinions.

Musicians aren't Nobody is allowed to have a personal opinion that differs from the fanatic Red Shirt opinions.

It just means that "the authorities" have nothing better to do

A matter of priorities, as you surely understand

Thailand, som nam na! Don't start complaining now about your OWN mess!

Farang has NOTHING to do with it

Phuket: a never-ending story...

When is the last time any good news at all came out of Thailand?

Shouldn't that be:

"When is the last time any good news at all came out of Thailand Phuket?"

so much about nothing...

We could have a vote on it:

ALL Russians leave Pattaya for a year. The next year they can come back, and ALL Brits leave Pattaya for a year. They can come back after a year as well...

The jury and voters are ALL other nationalities, and they vote which Pattaya was more pleasant... The Russian one or the British one

Just an idea Obviously I am neither British nor Russian

Wow, what will they come up next ? Red shirt, yellow shirt, black shirt, yellow plate, green plate, black plate ? Next up : shoes, belts, flowers and teeth ?

Thailand : it starts with the color !!!

OMB! What should I do?!? I am extremely colorblind, I see Thailand in Black & White only...

Darwin would be proud

Nah, Darwin would put head in the sand

When you go to a country, you don't get pissed up and get a local form of transport expecting VIP treatment because you have a few bob.

I actually find this quite hilarious, with the arrogance made by the party involved, pretending the same happened the next night. Why would a venture be repeated, after being appalled the first time. I've carried a mill baht around Sukvit, with a lassie in tow, a long time ago... and believe me... I was sober, and she took good care of me...

The Dutch guy/American knew where they were, and for what reason. Tough crap... you got lashed, and got probably what you had asked for all evening, after being abusive or obnoxious.

If you, as a visitor want to frequent such a place.... be it on your Nelly how you conduct yourself, and if not respecting what you know little of, expect the consequences: and this applies to any city or area of a city in the WORLD....... Not only Thailand - this happens if you get pissed out of your league... no matter how big and hard you think you are.

Enjoy the rest of your stay... and be careful.. you are named and shamed... you will be watched. I mean be careful... next time.. you might not walk away!

PLEASE, do NOT confuse Danes with Dutch!!! The Dutch were not involved (this time )

If it aint Dutch, it aint much

Equal Treatment?!? In Thailand?!?

At least it is a real drugs bust! 305 kg of coke is really a lot!

Normally they only find 305 milligrams

One of two Pattaya Students....

It seems there are very few students in Pattaya.... Now there is only 1 left.... Shouldn't be to difficult to track him down then

I wish I could participate in this discussion, but IF I had that much money I would NOT spend it on a car

Since when has TAT said ANYTHING that is true?!?

They live in a different Thailand on a different planet, most likely in a different universe

You are probably 'lucky' to be US citizen.... Imagine what other nationalities have to go thru if they want to enter USA....

And really, any reasonably smart person will get data (any data!) in different ways to USA; not bringing it thru customs!!!

You do realize, I hope, that USA is still No.1 in the world, concerning drugs, sex and guns. USA policy is the policy of (unreasonable) fear.....

I have been once, and never again

Just wait until these little pricks get playing the "Knock Out Whitey" game. Except over here it will likely be "Knock Out Falang".

Nah! It won't catch on here. The Knock Out' game usually involves 1 attacker and 1 victim not the usual 5 or 10 on 1 the Thais go in for.

They can change the rules... Then we have Knock Out Thai style...

It is the most ridiculous game I have ever seen; I sincerely hope that every 'player' in this game gets what he deserves, and worse!!!

"Patong Bay's brown water is safe, says Phuket expert"

A "phuket expert" says so, so it is true

We asked this "expert" if he goes for a swim in Patong;

His answer: "Are you crazy?!? You think I'm going to swim in this sh*t"

Patong, Phuket and Lies are just synonymic words; it's all the same cr*p

At least they are optimistic.....

That's more than I can say

It was well known about his heavy drug use as a youth before he ran for president. That was progress I thought that voters didn't reject him based on that. People are more adventurous in youth especially passionate people who sometimes make great leaders. One ironic thing though is that if Obama had been arrested during that time like so many other young black men, he could easily been sent to prison, been a felon, and then definitely ineligible for politics. Probably 10 years before Obama the heavy youthful drug use would have been disqualifying.

Currently, the USA is ready for a woman president (VERY READY) or a Latino president (a right wing one only).

It is not yet ready for an out gay president, a Muslim president, and probably not an Asian or Jewish president (though those are closer).

USA should have a Muslim Gay Female Black president

THEN, it would set an example for the world.... Most likely, not in my lifetime (unless I get very old, like 378 years)

@Obama: Enjoy it while it lasts.... (((and if true, please be more discreet!)))

R.I.P.

Phuket.....

It's an american 'tradition' that is just being (globally) commercialized, like everything else!

It don't mean nothing

I have never read the rumors about me and Beyonce; I just wish they were true

@Beyonce, any time baby! Just let me know when and where!!!
