Didn't this same thing happen to an Aussie about a year ago?  Small bag containing cocaine in the passport at Phuket airport found by an immigration officer.  Utterly crazy way to get caught.

or a set up for a quick fine and cash revenue for tea money

I am a retired ship captain and also taught other mariners in two different maritime academic institutions in the USA.

You might find it interesting that vessels operating within the  territorial waters of a country and not engaging 

in an international voyage are not required to comply with most rules and regulations of the IMO (International Maritime Organization). It is up to the country where the vessel is operating to enforce safety and maritime regulations on its vessels no matter the size.

 

I am NOT saying that Thailand does or does not have maritime rules. I AM saying that they DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLY  with international norms within their own waters. When you see ferry fires, boats sinking, speed boats running into reefs , Thai war ships sinking and accidently firing on other war ships it should give you pause before boarding a vessel in Thailand. 

 

As for me. I know where my life jacket is and avoid going into the interior of a vessel here. I want to be able to  grab mt life jacket and be able to get off the vessel  as soon as possible if needed. By the same token, if I go to a bar or restaurant, I want to be close to the exit. 

 

You can call me paranoid if you want but, after being in combat, traveling to over 75 countries and reaching the 7th decade of my life you can also call me ALIVE! 

 

No matter where you might find yourself in the world, maintain Situational Awareness.

 

Self glorifying essay 

 

Boat insurance.. think not.

Authorities must take action !!!!!!!!!!

Yes!!!!

Provide usable, clean public toilets is the action required 

Thailand strives to be a tourist heavenly center but no public toilets at all. 
 Deplorable toilets that are available outside of major shopping centers

Why didn't the neighbours call the plod when they heard screams?

 

Why did it take the plod 13 hours to check on her after her friend raised concerns?

 

R.I.P

It is ridiculous to call police every-time you hear screams. 

Yes, 1000 not a big deal, but these bar ladies get bolder and bolder and next time will be 2000 or 3000, how much cheating no one knows, related to clients intoxication.

Pay nothing, it seems whenever a Thai want money they say it’s culture and you must live up to it if you want to live here. Or this is fake made up topic to create interest.

Actually, I'm right. As history has shown, most of our world's troubles are centered around hate. Greed, lies, jealousy, misunderstandings all factor in this hate, and it's taught in childhood, by irresponsible, hateful and or abusive parents who do not know any better. How many Russians do you actually personally know? Maybe three or four? And you call all of them thieves because others have told you they are, by the actions of a few, or because you hate Russians because they have hurt you personally? I think you, and many others here, either do not care or don't understand that you yourself are being judged here, by those who aren't prejudiced, hateful, jealous, or ignorant.

I certainly know: dear friend: I worked in russia city Niznevartosk 1992 to 1997 and later 2008 to 2017: and whatever was not cemented or welded sold was up for grabs.... 70 yrs of communisms was a great thieving schooling period which continuous until this day.....!!
