Glad it was just the stupid driver who is deceased and not innocent bystanders or other road users.  

 

Yep, just hope he didn't reproduce beforehand.

Dangerous morons aren't exactly an endangered species here.

They couldnt worry about "international crime".

They have more than enough with the "domestic variant" ????

 

If it's not treading on their patch, they'll probably want a franchise deal, at least.

Why all that money for a night out drinking?

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has been tough on small- and medium-sized enterprises, which are the backbone of Thailand’s economic growth and development. Increased digital transformation, changes in customer behaviour, restrictions on travel, limited operations of retail outlets and restaurants, and inflation, to name but a few, caused a number of businesses to shut down.

 

Now, many of them have reopened, started afresh or even expanded thank to vaccinations and the government’s relaxation measures.

OP sounds like it was written by some Thai Govt stooge. Utter <deleted>

Like he said last year "there will      be   no going back"  (into lockdown),  but the country did go back into lockdown 

Yep. Maybe depending on the upcoming election results also.

Maybe Khun Chaiwat is just deflecting.?

Quote

Chaiwat and his three former subordinates at Kaeng Krachan national park are facing murder charges for the enforced disappearance of Karen activist Porlajee Rakchongcharoen, aka “Billy”, about eight years ago.

he could not tolerate seeing his colleagues suffer by having to find money to pay bribes, resulting in family problems or being unfairly transferred.

Or being unfairly murdered.?

Saw the video on a local FB page. Took the cops an eternity to get this nutcase out of his little car.. ????

This makes things more dangerous as the pedestrian may assume a level of safety without realizing that traffic pays zero attention to crossings.

Yep, literal death-traps to tourists accustomed to using zebra crossings safely in their own countries.

Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM).

DTAM director-general Thongchai Lertwilairattanapong said yesterday, December 20th, that cannabis parties during New Year festivals are not allowed and that they will dispatch their staff to inspect any venues that are reported to be organizing such parties immediately.

A "Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine" has powers of arrest / search, etc.? ????

To reject or refuse in Thai is: "patisett" (Phonetic pronunciation). ปฏิเสธ in Thai

Around 10-15k / month. I go out to eat locally with the family 1-2 times  / week in Banchang, Rayong. Choosing between Thai (seafood), Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc.

Sometimes if it's a special occasion we'll book a table at a fine dining outlet in Pattaya or environs. We'd probably eat out a bit more if the missus didn't enjoy cooking at home most days. Fortunately, most of our favourite local restaurants here have seemingly survived the 'rona. ????

It seems he was already out of the Kayak..................

after the kayak capsized, Mr O'Neill said he would swim to shore but was not seen again.

So sad. R.I.P.

Yes, that is the part that is puzzling. Was talking to someone after the kayak turned over.

If not too involving or damaging, I'd check under the floor for broken or leaking drain pipes. Might be seepage under the tiles causing the problem.

Who said he crawled out..? 

 

 

 

 

 

Erm, the story in the OP.. Perhaps you should go back and read it again, as you have instructed other posters to do.?

At the risk of appearing pedantic; I am cut and pasting directly:

Quote

Back on November 15th at 10pm he went into a neighbor's property to steal ganja plants but was caught and attacked, reported Thai Rath. 

 

She said her brother was a widower with an 18 year old son who lived in a shack in her field. 

 

He had smoked weed since he was a youth.

 

After the attack he had tried to crawl out of the neighbor's yard but had been kicked until he was badly hurt.

He didn't die from any alleged kicking, give the lead story a comprehensive read, for what that's worth.

Breakfast of champions. ????

Maybe combine with the "where do I obtain a high-powered air rifle" thread?

If you have never been attacked by a drug-crazed bargirl then you have never lived in Thailand!

Indeed. I once married one. ????
