A 14 year old half Thai half Australian was stabbed to death 3 day's ago outside Pattaya he was stabbed because he fought off a bullie who unable to loose face went to his vehicle and grabbed a knife and ran up behind the victim and stabbed him in the back,provocation not needed just looked at the perp and the perp lost face, I'm surprised that this is not on this forum it's all over the Australian news and has a lot of Thai school kid's worried, it was a sick act. -

Police Warn Against Reindeer Antlers and Coloured Lights on Cars
It is easier to do this than enforce the law of wearing helmets, which will save more lives than a car with colored lights.. Besides that I see a whole year driving cars which have all kind of lights everywhere, so in fact why now fine Santa Claus?? Overloaded trucks will be more dangerous too and the blacksmoke emitting cars are more harmful for the public health... But there is no time for to fine them -

AN Member Post Count Obsession
True. Reminds me, I need to put one of our paid professional trolls on my blocklist under his new username. If he'd stay in his own topics, it'd be fine, but he roams around as part of the persona. -

Thailand Targets Tougher Alcohol Laws to Align with Global Norms
That means a lot of work and will never happen.. In almost no country it is forbidden to sell alcohol before 11.00 and after 14.00 or on religious holidays..In not many countries are cheap wines so extreme taxed , and in many countries it is normal to watcha movie without blurred drinks... Besides that in many countries there is no law that forbid pics of drinking alcohol on facebook, as it is here seen as a promotion to drink. In many countries the police test al lot of drivers on alcohol consumption, day and night and 365 days a year, The fines for driving with too much alcohol are high and many drivers know that, not the low fines here in Thailand, Bartenders must keep an eye on too much alcoholconsumption in several countries and can and will refuse to sell more. And there are many campaigns on TV , internet and billboards which are warning against drinking alcohol. And many more examples... But Thailand has ideas but it will not work as they don't enforce anything.. Sounds nice with the upcoming holidays but on the 5th of January 2025 everything is being forgotten already -

DTV visa extension
This theory comes up again and again. However I don't really buy into it. For example the recent story of the Brit stealing gold chains on Walking Street in Pattaya revealed he entered Thailand on a "60-day visa". I think we can assume that is visa exempt. I don't think that will have any effect on visa exempt entries. I suspect financial gain is a far bigger driver. Typically senior police officers (Immigration are a branch of the police) have to make payment for promotion even when they have demonstrated they have the ability, may have to keep making monthly payments to their patrons and will definitely have lifestyles that cannot be funded from their salaries. A few will hail from wealthy families with their own businesses. The rest need extra income or the whole system breaks down. The decision to deny entry at certain points of entry is made at high but local ranks. This is while other entry points do not deny entry. What are the drivers behind this local decision-making? I do not believe a few unrepresentative tales of DTV-holding foreigners working illegally drive such major policy change, it is a myth. You only have to read the news every day or talk to foreigners here to come across illegal working. These people are on a wide range of visas. What drives change is usually much more tangible. One thing for sure is that there has never been any public comment from Immigration on the difference in policy between the different points of entry. So we will probably never know what is truly driving it.
