My sympathy to the families but infortunately stupid is what stupid does

2 brains, one blood supply. There's always going to be problems

I've been watching these sickening accounts of slaughter on thai roads for years now. If thai authorities choose to do nothing then you can only think that the death of a dangerous driver prevents them from repeating this behaviour( a bit like natural selection as per Darwin's theory However the death and injury to their innocent victims is a different matter

The word "the alien" in Thai legislation might explain it all?

well those of us who "own" land via a spouse/gf etc have a tenuous claim at the best of times so this probably doesn't change anything

ummm...put up a no trespassing sign, give them a couple of warnings then shoot them?

There was a similar case a couple of weeks ago. Maybe the advice given in that situation might be useful?

Hi,i am a NZer male aged 58 yrs and in an effort to avoid having to go the Thai embassy in Vientiane and endure participating in that process of visa extension etc I did this. I went to the Nongkai border, got stamped out of Thailand, on the bus over the bridge, stamped into Laos(1800 baht)walked around the other side and stamped out of Laos, back on the bus over to Thailand and stamped back in.Ironically I got 30 days(usually 15 days at a land crossing I think).As other responders have stated there is probably no way to avoid the Laos fee but if you want to avoid Vientiane this might be the way to go and it's cheaper too

Call me cynical perhaps, but at your age haven't you other things to drea

m about?
