Don't rely on compression socks, I was wearing a pair and still had multiple clots in my lungs. Forget that in seat exercising and get up whenever possible and keep hydrated. 

well summed up. keeps limbs moving and keep your toes and fingers moving regularly.

hmm,...and your point is ???

it is not funny. somebody's life has been impacted.

surprising it happened to athletic young person. goes to prove that basic health rules should be followed. move your limbs to keep circulation going.

if opportunity permits you  must walk around a little.

If taxis and motor bike taxis didn't have such an appalling reputation for bad manners and overcharging, I might have some sympathy.

no sympathy should be extended. this a a free country and let market forces prevail.

sore losers. stand up to competition and face the market forces.

alternatively provide such a good service that  people will happily pay small premiums.

do not expect to be spoon fed.

That makes sense.

The second airport should be ready now!

And of course it also makes sense to build it outside the island not spoiling more of the landscape and creating noise.

no long term planning - that is the problem. should get international teams to study and advise proposals. better to pay experts than keep on redoing ...

Nothing to do with the beach and the mat.  Indians get bashed everywhere in Pattaya.  Even the staff at 7 Eleven bash the Indians.

but why? are they that unwelcome guests? 

let the TAT say NO INDIANS welcome.

if the police are unable to control activities 100 metres from their station then how will they be do anything in incidences away from the station.

question? why go to such places.

No bashing from me - i said misunderstanding which is all too common here between tourists and local Thai.

people get bashed and some people treat at as a joke. a shame

and you expect them to follow the instructions.not in a million years.

that was one viscious kick on the head - totally uncalled for and warranted. that b... had no right to take any matter into his hands. the tourist was not aggressive nor violent and neither did he resist in any way. such acts should carry mandatory prison sentences.

maybe there is more to that than meets the eyes. mental condition.

I hope the trains don't cross any roads. Most people around here can't see a train coming at 50kph, let alone 250.

it will likely be above ground level

so where did the actual Jail THREAT come from  ??

Was there a dispute on the amount of the bill?

Only 1,380 baht. If there was 4 of them on the same bill that is only a couple of drinks each!

Aye, hard way to learn

shame to the tourists who refused to settle their bill and bigger shame to the attackers who took the law in their own hands. Land of smiles or bloodied tourists?

It's becoming more dog eat dog in Land Of Scams.....I fear it will only get worse as western tourists continue

to downsize their holiday spend....the glory spending days of say 2000-2007 are well and truly over...

 

Thais are feeling the pinch!

 

it is still not confirmed whether the dispute is family or business related.

RIP

What is happening to the land of smiles? a tourist could face a similar end anytime.

Really?  In a place where every back pocket has a gun in it?

I would sit still too.  Over paid.  Over sexed and over here.

what does on do? involve and criminalise yourself. it is the authorities and the TAT who have to act with suitable and equitable reprisals.

when will this hunting in packs end?
