Top 10 Reasons People Spend Time on the Forum
Well JK ......... the topic doesn't seem to have gathered much steam . A few people making the usual posts of calling out the faults of others ( always good to know who the really smart and successful guys are , according to them ) haha then there was : "forum members could seek some kind of intellect here. 🤣🤣🤣 Made myself laugh with that last sentence 🤣🤣" JK, i also have been here 30+ years , and have been through the many phases of Farang comes to Thailand . I check this forum out once in a while to read some of the recent experiences of (mostly new) members . Interesting to hear the recent experiences re: love lives, immigration, and of course the "this is what Thailand is all about" from guys that can't even speak the language. Anything of a political or health issue is really just a cock fight with competing Google link posts "proving" one's position. Critical thinking ? huh ??? At my age I am concerned with doing the best i can to stay healthy . Part of which involves avoiding getting too involved with others . Though i used to enjoy human interactions........ I sort of accept that times have changed. Following this forum from time to time is just a small part of daily life . There are some more interesting substacks ( for me) . For some here... this is their castle , and the competition is what they come for. -

Israeli Man Arrested at Phuket Airport for Sexual Assault of Finnish Teen in Koh Samui
Very poor job of looking out for her by her Finnish friends…or is this the case that she was traveling alone and just met up with a group of acquaintances who only have their own self interests in mind…which is actually the case with solo independent travelers… in my day of solo traveling the world in my 20’s and 30’s, common sense and looking out for others were prevalent at hostels etc maybe today’s generation lacks those traits? -

Police Bust Car-Rental Scam, Arrest Two Suspects in Cross-Border Scheme
Photo courtesy of The Phuket News A sophisticated car-rental scam has been dismantled following the arrest of two suspects accused of stealing a vehicle and smuggling it abroad. In coordinated operations, officers from the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) and Crime Suppression Division (CSD) apprehended Sakthanan in Nonthaburi and Khemanan in Bangkok's Lat Phrao district. Sakthanan faces charges of embezzlement, while Khemanan is charged with joint theft. The investigation was triggered by a car rental company's report of a vehicle that was not returned. Authorities suspect the car was smuggled into a neighbouring country for illicit sale. According to police, Khemanan orchestrated the plan, enlisting Sakthanan as the receiver. The scheme began with an accomplice (referred to as A) renting the vehicle, then passing it to another (B), who removed the vehicle’s licence plates to evade detection and drove it to Tao Poon BTS station, where it was handed over to Sakthanan. The car was then driven to Sa Kaeo province near the border, apparently prepared for illegal export. Officers from multiple jurisdictions, including Chiang Mai and Sa Kaeo Provincial Police, were involved in the operation. Acting on their evidence, Phu Ping Rajanives Police Station investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Sakthanan from the Chiang Mai Provincial Court, leading to his swift arrest. It was also uncovered that Khemanan was already wanted under a separate warrant issued by Bang Rak Police Station. She was tracked down by Sub-Division 2 of the Crime Suppression Division and taken to Bang Rak for legal proceedings. The operation was led by Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridet, head of the CIB, alongside senior officials Police Major General Witthaya Sriprasertphap and Police Lieutenant Colonel Netiwit Thanasittikun. The police have advised car rental businesses to strengthen their screening procedures due to rising cases of vehicle fraud and smuggling. Authorities are continuing their investigation and anticipate further arrests as the scope of the scheme becomes clearer, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-01 -

Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
Sorry, I worded that slightly badly. Huge cracks and possible condemned buildings, not train infrastructure. There are huge cracks in many condo's, mine for example, which is very near to the MRT which is on concrete stilts, so for very obvious reasons they decided to suspend the trains until they checked it out, which as you say they have now done and are running again. As for the condo's mine like many others are being inspected by external companies next week to see if they are safe to live in. I'm moving out regardless, couldn't stand to live in there again after that experience.
