Report Expat Confusion Grows as Thailand Cracks Down on Helmet Law Violations
"Only way not to see loads of them daily would be to never leave your home." Maybe where you live this is true. I don't see them in the Bangkok suburb where I live and work. I understand it's more like a veranda or a porch than a sidecar LOL. I guess they are common in some areas. -

I can and did. Always a gap in age of my relationships. One was 19 and I was 38, and largest gap in USA. Another was 18 when I was 28, only 10 year gap, but at those ages, seemed like a lot. She couldn't drink alcohol at restaurant, when first together. She was one of my life long 'friends' with bennies', over 25+ years. Same with my first wife, 17 and me 23, (her father had issue with the age gap) married at 19 & 25, and drinking age was 21 Always about a 10 year gap in my relationships.. First Thai wife was half my age, 22 / 45, present wife is 22 yrs younger, 48 / 70. I could easily see myself with Yank partner 20 yrs younger than myself. In USA, never started dating anyone older than 30, and I left there at 45 yrs old. Getting the sense, that most AN members don't know how to 'listen' and talk with women 😎 -

Well Im fat, ugly, 70, fart a lot, smoke a lot of weed, go days without wearing more than a pair of gym shorts, love my bachelor life, did I say smoke a lot of weed, and I gag at the thought of some droopy boobed cottage cheesed old lady showing me that floppy, wrinkled liver coloured OMG....choke gag spew..... Yet with all that I can still maintain a vigorous erection and as sexual activity is good exercise as well as useful for prostate health I have no problem admitting that a 37 kilo bar girl is snoozing in my bed right now, snoring and running the AC. Shes not a prostitute, shes a pretty, uneducated village girl (you know, one of those villages on a dirt road with tin roof shacks and no flush toilets) appreciates the cash gifts she gets to help support her family. We all cant be studs like you boss, change your avatar to Tom Cruise?- 1

Report 13 High-Rise Projects in Bangkok Breach Construction Laws
File photo for reference only. Courtesy of Wikipedia BANGKOK – The Thailand Consumers Council (TCC) has flagged 13 high-rise projects in Bangkok for breaching construction laws. According to TCC Secretary-General Saree Aongsomwang, residents from 11 different communities have lodged complaints concerning safety and non-compliance issues linked to these towering developments. A detailed probe unveiled that these projects deviated from their approved designs, failing to meet Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements. Many also violated Ministerial Regulation No. 33, which stipulates a compulsory 6-metre-wide road or clear space around high-rise structures, essential for safety and accessibility. Saree Aongsomwang highlighted the potential risk, saying, "These violations raise serious safety concerns." Emphasising the need for corrective measures, she urged coordination with relevant agencies to enforce building laws and maintain safety standards. Pornprom Okuchi, part of the TCC's real estate and housing subcommittee, pointed out that these infractions were found in prominent zones across Bangkok, including Ratchayothin, Saphan Khwai, and Ratchadaphisek. Shockingly, some developers misled buyers by advertising structures that did not align with approved plans or EIA documents. In a surprising turn, areas earmarked for road access were converted into EV charging stations, decorative ponds, or recreational spaces like gyms and badminton courts. Emergency access roads in 11 projects ended up as cafés or gardens, eliminating space needed for fire trucks and emergency response teams. The TCC has formally appealed to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to inspect 10 of these projects, scrutinising both completed and ongoing constructions for legal adherence. Legal expert Sinit Boonsit from the Department of Public Works pointed out that even minor obstructions like plant pots are against the law if they impede the 6-metre clearance requirement at high-rise buildings. The scrutiny these projects face aims to address urgent safety standards, ensuring future developments align with environmental and construction laws to protect residents and the public at large.

Cambodian Police Raid Japanese Fraud Base in Cross-Border Crackdown
Cambodian authorities have raided a suspected phone scam base in Poipet, detaining more than 20 Japanese nationals believed to be involved in large-scale fraud targeting victims in Japan. The bust, which took place on 27 May in the north-western Cambodian city near the Thai border, followed a tip-off from police in Japan’s Aichi Prefecture. According to Japan’s National Police Agency (NPA), those arrested are suspected of impersonating Japanese police officers in phone calls designed to dupe victims into handing over cash under the guise of a criminal investigation. Computers, smartphones, and other equipment were seized during the operation. The building, situated among low-rise offices and dormitory-style lodgings, was reportedly fortified with multiple security gates, hinting at an organised operation. Victims were told their bank accounts had been linked to crime, and were pressured to prove their innocence by transferring funds—a tactic seen in nearly 1,900 confirmed fraud cases across Japan in the first three months of this year alone. Losses are estimated at over 17 billion yen (roughly £94 million). Aichi police revealed the tip-off came from a 21-year-old Japanese man who had unwittingly joined the scam. Recruited through a part-time job ad, he was flown to Thailand last December, then transported by car across the border to Poipet. There, under the control of Chinese supervisors, he and over 20 other Japanese were instructed to carry out the fraudulent calls. The man managed to return to Japan in January and reported his experience to police. This raid is part of a broader crackdown across Southeast Asia, where fraud bases exploiting Japanese nationals have proliferated. Since 2019, 178 Japanese citizens have been detained in similar operations in Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. Many are believed to have been coerced into participating, lured by deceptive job offers and then trapped under tight security. Japanese investigators will now travel to Cambodia to support the inquiry and verify the identities of those detained, amid growing concern over cross-border scam networks exploiting vulnerable recruits. -2025-05-31 -
