Well had this American hit a Thai family instead of a British family you can bet that this whole matter would have been handled a whole lot differently.

Fine her the 40,000 baht and have her visa revoked. Then she can immediately returned to Russia. A blacklisting of five years wouldn't be a bad idea either.

I flew China Eastern out of LAX back around 2017. Worse flight and airline ever. Ok, the price was why I took a chance. It was $558rtn. Left LAX on time and arrived Shanghai. Short wait for the connection and then boarded. Flight was taking an hour. Ok, I go back to sleep. Wake up about five hours later..............and we are still on the ground in the plane. Finally after sitting on the plane for seven hours we leave after a slight "mechanical" issue was resolved. No food or water served that I know of during that time. Once the flight was airborne they give us some type of sack lunch. Very crappy it was. Arrive in Bangkok much later than expected. Go to baggage claim and wait for bags......and wait some more.....and wait some more. Finally, the belt stops and that's it. Have to go file forms for bags not delivered. I then get a taxi and take it to my house. The next day they contact me and tell me that the bags will be delivered. That afternoon a broken down looking truck arrives and has my bag. That's great, where's the other one? Oops, no have. Can't blame them as it looks like it got subcontracted out. Call China eastern and explain to them I'm still missing a bag. They tell me they will check and call me back. Two hours later they call. They tell me that the bag will be on the next flight. Bag shows up the next day. Everything was there, nothing missing. So yes, I won't ever be taking that airline again.

I wouldn't buy a Chevy. Stick with Hondas and Toyotas. There's a reason you see them all over the world.

I have a few that I watch but are not Thailand related. Too bad George Carlin is gone. He would have some very creative content about Trump, Biden, and other current events.

Yes they did!

In case the Thais have to bring in a beefier aircraft they do have the F-16A/B Falcon. Myanmar does have the Mig-29. One strayed over the Thai border in 2022. The F-16A/B Falcon turns tighter, turns faster, can go faster than the Mig-19, can accelerate faster than the Mig-29, has a lower stall speed, has better vertical, and I believe the F-16 has a clearer canopy with no metal bars causing a blind spot. The Mig-29 scores high on energy maneuverability and capability to gain in a slow-speed close fight, says German pilots who have done combat training operating one against the other. While the F-16 has an advantage above 200 knots speed, the Mig-29 has incredible nose-pointing capability down to 100 knots. Of course if you don't have the money for proper maintenance and to keep pilots up to date on the latest improvements for that model it won't matter.

Right wing Christian men makes it sound like a white supremist group. That they mentioned Coeur d'Alene, Idaho in the USA is quite bizarre. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is a very small city in northern Idaho. That area, especially just north of Coeur d'Alene, is well known and documented for being a bastion of white supremacy as was demonstrated in the 1980's. This alone tells you a lot about the group and what their agenda is.

She is lucky it's only this considering how many farangs are dealt with on "Death Island".

The price listed in the article seemed very affordable. I just hope that they are durable.

Will the new Toyota Fortuner be available with a hybrid engine? Maybe around the end of the year or in 2025?

Sounds like a normal day in large US cities.

Different strokes for different folks!

They need to end this type of punishment in Thailand once and for all.

I'm pretty sure that the Thai ladyboys don't like the competition from other countries. It cuts into their profits.

Time to be prosecuted for the crimes that you committed.

Well, you don't see that everyday. I wish him well in his military career.

You definitely needed a Thai lawyer on your side advocating for you the minute this happened. They would know the best course of action to take to get you the result that you need.

Hun Sen should be brought before a war crimes tribunal for his actions as a Khmer Rouge officer. He has the blood of many people on his hands.

Probably not. Just wondering if he had the balls to ask after all that. It's inconclusive in the article which just leads to speculation.

Not really. The article doesn't state if she paid the taxi fare or if she didn't pay. You should go back and re-read the full text of the article.

VPN's are the way to go for a lot of websites that the Thai government finds objectionable. From X-rated sites to criticizing the government, VPN's feel a void.

Did she pay her taxi fare or just did a runner?

I made that ride many times back in the 90's. A great area to ride. The Bangkok side not so much.

I wouldn't doubt it at all that he does. I do. Now, I might take a break after an hour or so for a few minutes but while I'm on the bike I'm riding usually between 29-33kph with the "sweet spot" at right around 30-31kph. That's on flat ground with no wind.
