Teen motorcyclist dies after being hit by truck at traffic stop
See Richard, you are too dim to realize that this is a translation that has been deliberately “enhanced “ for readers like you who just accept. Do you really think a Thai truck driver would speak English to a Thai policeman here? Please use your brain. Here is the original article that this story originated from. https://siamrath.co.th/n/559430 NOWHERE a does it claim the driver said such a thing. He didn’t say it. In English or Thai. Now I wouldn’t expect you to actually be able to read Thai despite living here for two decades. So ask your Thai friend or wife to read it for you and you will see that he never said that at all. This site relies on revenue, by claiming such things it gets people like yourself to post more = more revenue. You have been sucked in Richie. Fell for it hook line and sinker. Please fact check what I have just informed you with a Thai before continuing your rant about what you THINK the driver actually said. You will see you are wrong again, not that you will admit it on here. You will go silent for a change. To be clear the driver did not say he was “going too fast to stop in time” . It never happened. -

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
I'm not going to thank them for this. Because I myself am kind, calm, non-confrontational (rarely happens) person. But I feel some kind of claims from them to me, and if so, then they have cockroaches in their heads. I lived on different continents of the globe, and I saw nations much wiser, more enlightened and psychologically much more stable as individuals, really open hearted. Thais are good and kind people, but they have enough cockroaches in their heads. No need to idolize them! This is a mistake. ... And then there are the outright mistakes and assumptions made by some folk such as MalcolmB who under are completely false impressions as to the extent of barbarity which which many migrants in Thailand are treated.... Thailand treats its illegal Immigrants with pure contempt - yet at the same time authorities recognises that business rely on this cheap labor force who work sub-minimum wage and life like squatters. Most migrants to Thailand: - Working under minimum wage in what can only be described as labour camps. - Thailand is on global human rights watch lists due to its treatment of migrants. - Thai authorities still prevent boats carrying ethnic Rohingya fleeing Burma from landing, instead returning them to dangerous seas (to their deaths). - 100 Ethnic Turks; Uighurs, Forcibly Sent to China (what you wont read anywhere is that the men were shot women and children sent to china). But... MalcomB wants to muddy the waters and compare Male Illegal Migrants to the UK (against which there has recently been a series of protests) to fully legal visitors and Immigrants (with Long term Visas) to Thailand.... he thinks he's arguing from the moral high-ground, when he doesn't understand the layout of the battle ground at all. -

Problem: Massive tourism like everywhere now. It's $200 for the day out with the lady driver, a Bolisaro/Trump worshipper -just work in that angle -as always. Up at the crack of dawn, it was wall to wall people by 11 AM. You have three trails with 3 overlooks to view. By the time we got to trail # 3 (the money shot one), it was a slow-moving trudge along a 20 minute metal grating walkway, fully packed out, both coming and going. You get your obligatory selfie shot by the railing and then you are very happy to leave. The to and fro is very wetlands-scenic with a few exotic birds about. The little train that takes you between the trails also starts requiring missing a train or two until you can finally get on. My 5 minutes there was true grandeur with the roar of the falls and the dizzying mist - but dampened (literally) by the 500 people I shared it with. Many a photo buff is setting up stepladders and and other equipment to further block your view. Many a baby is a-wailing. I stayed at the pricey hotel on the Brazilian side which has what is supposed to be a very inferior view. It was def less dramatic (you're viewing the falls from a distance), but you're also viewing them with a cocktail in hand, 5 minutes from your room. At 8 AM, you're viewing them completely alone. The hotel was half off 4 Season rates, but only about a third as good, so do your own personal math on that. Food was a letdown, not particularly Brazilian, more like a very good Marriot anywhere in the world. A few monkeys scamper about near the pool. Wouldn't do it again, but it was a satisfying one and done with very warm and personal service. I skipped the bird parks and the power station tour. 36 hours in town felt a little long.- 1

Irishman’s life hangs by a thread after mosquito bite in Thailand
Lots of posters in this thread show frightening ignorance. Especially willful ignorance of hospital prices in Thailand. Travel insurances are often valid for a certain period, often the flight dates. Not always, though. The typical EU tourist has a policy that covers any trip he takes, as long as the trip is not longer than a certain period of time (usually 1 or 2 months). This kind of policy costs, in Ireland, 71.48 € per year - with Allianz, which is expensive. Coverage is often unlimited, the lowest limit I have ever seen from Western Europe was 350,000 €. You can get this kind of policy for 8 (eight) euros per year. Some policies extend coverage if you cannot make it home, some don't. Some exclude trips to the US. Dengue is by far the most common disease 36 y.o. tourists catch in Thailand. It can be life threatening (and deadly). If so, you don't want to be in a district hospital (a couple of years ago, a 21 y.o. foreign tourist died from Dengue, treated in a district hospital in the north. BTW a district hospital is the amphur hospital, not a real hospital in Western eyes - a provincial hospital like Nakorn Ping in CM is usually quite capable to deal with dengue). The new Qdenga vaccine from Takeda is available in the EU, but not easy to get. It is better than the old Dengvaxia from Sanofi, but it's not recommended for tourists. Recommrnded for people who live here and are not old yet (opinions differ about the age limit). An ICU in a Thai private hospital is the only place with 24h surveillance, because otherwise they have single rooms. So an ICU may really be just a room with a nurse and an iv drip. But often, the ICU patients require and receive intensive care. This seems to be the case here. A patient who needs constant surveillance will be put in the ICU if he is in a private hospital. But in the government hospital, he may be in the general ward under the caring eyes of 28 fellow patients and a handful of nurses/nurse assistants - if he just needs observation, not intensive care. 100,000 B/d is very cheap for ICU in a private hospital (it's the treatment, not the room rate, that is expensive). This is not Bangkok Hospital, they are much more expensive. BTW in the US, ICU isn't 2,700 €/d, more like 27,000 €/d, and many other countries like China, HK, Singapore have private hospitals that are much more expensive than the ones in Thailand. OTOH, the price of 179,000 USD for an airlift to Europe is very high. This can be had for 70,000 USD, if you are lucky. 120,000 USD should definitely be possible. Many (not all) private hospitals have double pricing. So do many (not all) government hospitals. In the tourist south, all hospitals have it. Hospital prices have skyrocketed during the last years, In the tourist south, they have doubled since before covid. In Bangkok Phuket Hospital, be happy if you get a bed at any price, they don't need you, you need them. In the rest of the country, if you had treatment a couple of years before covid, prices may have doubled by now. -

Mixed kid living in Thailand.
It's all irrelevant. The boy is in Sweden with his father, he was born in Sweden, he has a Swedish passport and Swedish citizenship. To all intents and purposes, as it stands, the boy is Swedish. You can quote whatever you like, but I think she has no chance of extracting that boy from Sweden, and he probably wouldn't want to go. The man must have been recognized as the legal father, otherwise, what is he doing in Sweden.- 1

Without commenting on the moderation here, I want to express my great appreciation of the moderators here. First stop: Iguazo Falls. I didn't love it. Anyone who wants to see them to great effect with Morricone's most stunning soundtrack should watch this clip:
