Time to clean him up, get him sober, and then send him back on the next available flight. Obviously no consuming of mind-altering substances until he clears Thai airspace. Perhaps blacklisting him for five or more years would be a good idea as well.

I ride my bicycle quite a bit but I don't recommend cycling in the dark, even with lights, anywhere in the world where you share a road with other vehicles.

I feel so sorry for the families of the victims of those killed and injured. Hopefully the driver can be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

A free 90 day non-immigrant visa would be great! There would be a significant rise in tourism as people would escape the coldest months of the northern hemisphere winter.

I think I know!

Perhaps their dancing qualifications could be put to good use in the NE provinces where some students could attain training in dance to find gainful employment in certain areas of Thailand.

1) Bangkok 2) Pattaya 3) Hua Hin 4) Chiang Rai 5) Koh Lanta

It would be a boost to tourism if this could be implemented again!

I think it is an ambitious plan and a great goal to aim for. In the 40 years that I have been coming and going from the Kingdom it has varied between 5 minutes (a rarity) to about 70 minutes. I for one, hope that they can achieve this goal.

Well, technically yes as he isn't free to leave anywhere on his own accord. He is still in their custody.

Very sad that the those that have perished are being forgotten by the location where the accident occurred. It is no wonder that One Two Go and the parent company, Orient Thai, have gone out of business.

Don't worry. Thaksin will find a way to be out of jail/prison very soon.

Although I agree with you, students questioning their teachers will probably not go down to well with the Thai hierarchy. It is so ingrained into Thai "culture" to not question those in the educational system (and elsewhere) that this would be very difficult to change. In looking at the World University rankings for 2023 as put out by The Times Higher Education I found that Chula was ranked highest for Thai universities. It was grouped somewhere between #801 - 1000. Mahidol was ranked at #4 for Thai universities and in the same band as Chula. Surprisingly, Thammasat was only #10 amongst Thai universities and was in the #1201-1500 band of universities. https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2023/world-ranking#!/length/25/locations/THA/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats

They just want to check and see if he has an adequate amount of Johnnie Walker, caviar, and other delicacies that aren't easily obtained.

The Move Forward Party had a few policies that really upset a lot of older conservative Thais. This did not endear him to a significant number of the population. Can't really say much more than that on the subject if ya know what I mean.

China has a very large population and a lot of citizens that travel all over the world. Ok, I see why the Thai government would want to lure them to Thailand. Kazakstan? That one just boggles the mind as it's a small country of roughly 19-20 million. I do hope that this will be extended to most western nations.

Not surprised that Thaksin will be allowed to "recuperate" outside of the prison walls. His pardon will be coming very soon after a period of time under house or resort arrest.

It all sounds like a good idea but are the teachers and administrators capable of teaching using this type of technology?

I wonder how the recently divorced wife of 30 years is taking all of this?

Different strokes for different folks. Hope it works out for everyone.

I own a 37sqm condo in Jomtien that I bought in 2006. I've never lived in it but used it as a weekend place when I would drive down to Pattaya from Bangkok. Started using it less and less so I began renting it out. Other than during Covid, it's been rented out almost all the time. It's a nice unit on a high floor. A larger refrigerator and a two burner built in cooker makes for a nice kitchen. The air flow is nice from the balcony and a slatted screen door that leads out to a wide hallway. A lot of shops on the ground floor as well as a very big swimming pool. My longest tenant was three years. He left at the beginning of Covid. Personally, I couldn't live in something like that for more than a month. I like my larger space and enjoy living in a house.

I always dressed nice when having to go to a Thai government office. Immigration, Labour, etc. The Thais a quite conservative in that way. Just play the game and you will get better results.

I would go with one of the bigger agencies such as East Coast, Cornerstone, and Alan Bolton. Once you are interested in a particular development, I would check on what similar units that you like are being priced at. I would also think of going more mid-level. You'll be better off if you do.

Chadchart can keep on dreaming because it most likely won't happen anytime soon.

Anyway you look at it, this teacher is in a world of legal trouble. Unless he can get a very good, and expensive lawyer, he might be spending a little more time in Thailand than he had planned.
