Based on the article it might be a good idea to avoid places and establishments that cater to Israeli citizens.

Mike Tyson's Grueling Training Regimen for Comeback Fight 15 November
Is he really that broke for money that he has to return to the ring?

Thai Man Arrested after Slapping Russian on Bangla Road
It's a good thing that the Thai man didn't have friends with him, or a knife and/or gun on him, or we might be reading a much different story. FWIW, best not to "show a middle finger" to some random Thai male.

Thai Woman, 20, Sentenced to Life in Sweden for Murder
Probably not Muslim as she is from Nakhon Sawan according to her Facebook page.

Thai Woman, 20, Sentenced to Life in Sweden for Murder
It does sound like the legal system did want to make an example out of her. Life in a Swedish prison will be better than Thailand but it's still not great at the age of 20 and looking at a number of your prime years being locked up.

Pakistani vendors in Pattaya attack tourist for refusing their products
I'm surprised that they named the shop. Usually they never identify the shop by name. Perhaps because it is foreign owned and managed?

Patong Beach Volleyball Game Turns Violent, Sparks Thai-Arab Brawl
This is a pretty common practice in the US where the winner of a basketball game stays on the court. The next team waiting then takes the court to challenge the winner. Whoever wins that game stays on the court and then takes on the next team waiting. Perhaps there was a lot of trash talking going on between the two sides and maybe even after the match ended which led to the physical confrontation.

Do you drink drive?
I have driven a car when drunk and did it too many times. Luckily, nothing ever bad happened. That was when I was younger. Now, I don't drink & drive at all. If I've been out drinking, then I am using a taxi to get back home or a ride from a sober driver.

Sisaket beauty sets Facebook afire with search for Mr Right criteria
She must think that she is just all that. Not really! I'm sure someone will fit the bill but it's not going to be me!

Visit Thailand for just under 90 days with Thai wife. Visa advice please.
Personally, I would just get the 60 day visa exempt on arrival and then extend it at your local immigration office for another 30 days. A lot easier than going through the Marriage or Retirement visa route.

Pattaya Bar/Go-Go Death Watch
I've heard it said by more than a few, back in the day when LT was the thing, that the money you pay them is not for services rendered but to get them to leave in the morning.

I believe he was talking about another bar, not the Candy Club.

Well done Dr. Mark! This tourist was very lucky that there was a doctor nearby who responded to his cardiac event.

Drunk Indian Tourist Assaulted After Harassing Woman on Pattaya Beach
The drunk Indian tourist was lucky that it was just one punch and that he wasn't besieged upon by a group of Thai men beating and kicking the wholly crap out of him.

Koh Samui hide ‘n’ seek: Fugitive’s 19-year retreat ends in arrest
Perhaps he should have found an island with a little less traffic on it. Although he was able to evade the police for almost 19 years so maybe he does know something about "laying low".

Has anyone done a masters degree in Thailand?
I had two friends that did MA degrees at Thammasat University. That was probably 10-15 years ago.

Car recommendations
I personally like the hybrid models more than the fully EV's. I lean more towards Toyotas than other brands. I'm not a fan of the Chinese made EV's.

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
Which is why I won't retire full time in Thailand. It's nice to escape from a northern winter for 3-4 months but I don't want to be there all year. Lived and worked in Bangkok for 12 years and that was enough.

Field trips don’t hurt students, poorly-maintained transport does : PM
They can reach the roof hatch when the bus is lying on its side after a crash or after the bus came to a stop after rolling down an embankment. Many school buses have emergency windows on both sides of the bus that you just push out. They really need to equip school buses with seat belts. They tend to not have them to keep costs down.....and that's in the USA! Most of all, the buses need to be serviced regularly to ensure that they are in safe operating condition. I won't hold my breath on that one happening in Thailand.
