always wondered what the legal limit was in Thailand but .50 doesn't really explain much, Australia limit is 0.05 Thailand must be a decimal out

Another quality tourist of another quality country. 

I wonder how long the govt will let them in? For sure the 90 days visa will turn out as a very big mistake.🥴

Dude definitely looks sh×t faced.

Is this not the guy who cheated the restaurant, or was it his brother.
