The Thai king was afraid he would not be the centre of attention. They don't have LM laws there either to protect him. The worlds press would have had a field day with a playboy king.

The film company should sue Thailand for copyright as Thailand promotes Maya Bay using their movie and name.

Pocket change this time but now the courts have set a presedence with Maya Bay The figure will probably be 10x that next time. And believe me there will be a next time for greedy Thais. I hope all the film companies boycot Thailand. In this modern age of green screen technology Film companies do not need Thailand. What about all the revenue from tourists visiting Maya Bay. and the Kwai Bridge Money Thailand would not have had if not for the movies. Same Goes for Bridge over the River Kwai, James Bond Island near Phuket They are still milking those, with their tacky stalls and tacky skybridge ( another scam by Thais. )

If there were a sudden influx of Ukranian tourists Thailand would quickly decide who to back. They are only supporting Russia because of tourism.

I have never had problems with Lazada, but last week an item I had ordered was being delivered by Best and started it's journey with Best, then for no apparent reason the order was switched to Ninja. Luckily my order arrived safely ( I have had problems with Best before anyway ) . My biggest gripe with COD deliveries is I am not allowed to open the package to make sure my order is correct. I could be signing for a box of rubbish or even an empty box.

Are on the spot fines with no receipt classes as a bribe ?

Can Prawit stay awake long enough to do anything ? There have been dozens of photos of Prawit either falling asleep on duty or being supported by other members of the government. These dinosaurs have had their day Time to put them all out to pasture.

Lives alone in a locked house yet she still locks her bathroom door. Presumably the person who fitted the door / lock must have been a relative.

Does she dream up lottery numbers too ?

She drank Thai tap water ? She is lucky to be alive then.

Thailand can be in charge of carrying the white flag, something they are used to.

Another reason not to trust Thai doctors if this is the way they think.

Thais welcomed them. Thais have no morals and will sell themselves to the highest bidder. The rest of the world would seize and impound this superyach but Thailand are only interested in money no matter where it comes from. The Thai government supports Myanmar as well as Russia. The Superyacht is only here because nowhere else will accept it. They are looking for a safe haven and they knew Thais are weak when i comes to money.

I have had 3 jabs, I do not plan to have anymore. Nobody knows the long term effects from these vaccines. There is such a thing as overkill as it has shown with that <deleted> Anutin. He has had at least 7 jabs but still caught Covid....... Can't help but laugh ha ha ha

Well that is an improvement. It used to be 10 X . Personally I never pay foreigner price, I just walk away taking all my Thai family with me. So who is the real loser ?

If the husband was home the cats hadn't been abandoned. Did the police actually search the house and gardens for her? She was probably still hiding at home. 133,439 baht would not last her very long if she was on the run. But of course if she had actually already spent it, she would be afraid of going to prison.

What were bullets, live or dummy doing on the floor ? Sounds like a very sloppy shooting range with poor safety. It should be closed down until they improve their safety. Years ago I caught young students throwing bullets at each other at a school Later when they were checked they turned out to be live rounds the students picked up off the ground at a POLICE shooting range.

Understandably using guns around aircaft loaded with fuel could be very risy. But surely they could use a Taser like the British and American police do.

Thais have different preferences. Although many seem to think Pattaya is a magical place, most Thais prefer to visit temples. So the main people who will benifit will be the monks with their tourist orientated temples. Temples often have many money making activites to extract money from misguided Thais. Local tourism will never give Thais that lucrative income they are used to. Plus it is not so easy to overcharge or scam a Thai in their own country. Most are wise to the scams used on foregn tourists

Strange that there has not been a reported increase in Covid cases. Yet in my area in the North East, Covid cases are increasing daily since Songkran. The difference is we hear about it by word of mouth from local hospitals and government offices NOT from the controlled media. My wife works for the local Tessaban and they are getting daily increases from their workers. They also are having to close the office every few days to spray the buildings. The government are being selective with the truth, not that they are able to tell the truth.

I would have thought the 1,123 people, should ALL be charged with reckless driving as driving under the influence is extremely reckless. and a danger to everyone.

If he does not want to get the FARANG into trouble with the law he could just circulate his picture around the other shops in the area. At least that may stop his neighbours getting robbed.

The old conservatives meaning the government and hotels that rely on the Russians for money. Thais only care about money.

" Many of Thailand's top brass at the Royal Thai Police got together yesterday for a "what to do about Songkran" meeting. " I don't know if this was an intentional pun, but a BRASS is British slang for a prostitute. So are the police prostitutes ?

Most of the prostitution is controlled by the police anyway. They are either pimps or fine the girls .
