The Western governments, and the likes of the WEF want more control over people, their money, and where and how they spend it. CBDC's are the next big move. Thailand is just adjusting to be a part of the plan. Money laundering, and tax evasion are just excuses. KYC is just another data collecting tool. Look at how the EU and UK are talking about raiding people's bank accounts and savings.

And likely cost far more than it will raise.

So he admitted causing the crash? I thought he had said it was the woman's fault. If he has indeed done a runner, and it is to Cambodia, I doubt they would send him back due to current strained relationship with Thailand, but he will be there illegally, and without a passport. If he hasn't, and the Police have his passport, he is in a whole lot of doodah. i doubt paying THB 30,000 to the family will help his case much. Causing the death of aThai mother of two children in the way he did, and the local understandable outcry is likely to ensure some time served, but I doubt he will get the maximum. Last holiday to Thailand for him though.

You only have to look at the owner's of Somani Hotels to see why they are in the migrant hotel business, and are appealing the case.

Probably already stripped down to it's individual parts by now.

The check hides the beer stains.. 😀

Streamlining the asylum system just sounds like a way to legalise illegal immigrants more quickly.

Seems like a lot of Presidents aren't doing any better.

Could be many reasons. Sanctions have created a shortage of fertiliser in Russia. Someone thinks they can polish a turd. A money making scheme on Russia's version of eBay by selling one of President P's logs.

What is it with the wheelies? I often see idiots like this doing them on the roads, here in Samui. Either that, or on powerful motorbikes, screaming along on what are basically two lane minor roads. They must leave their brains at home when they come to Thailand. Its now not just the Police and legal side of things. A lot will depend on how vengeful the family are feeling at losing the girl in her prime.

Not a toad, a banded bullfrog. Toads have lumpy , poisonous glands on their backs. I see plenty of both Toads and bullfrogs like the one in your photo , on the paths and grass around my house, especially after the rain. https://www.thainationalparks.com/species/kaloula-pulchra

A lot of the complaints have been caused by the customers smoking it everywhere in public, which I don't think was part of the original plan. Families with kids were getting hit with the smell while eating in restaurants etc. I have often been hit with the smell of weed from car drivers with their windows open or their arm hanging out with a spliff. That old saying "Give them an inch and they will take a mile" comes to mind.

Could it possibly be a case of, "My dad paid for 20/20 not 18/20."?

Yes. I usually use pork sausages for the meat content, and the thinly sliced spicy chorizo for a bit of extra flavour and bite. The boiled potatoes, start to break up in the frying process when mixed in with all the other ingredients. Here is my take on it: Peel and boil potatoes. Drain and set aside. I usually cut into 1" chunks. Fry the pork sausages ( I use three), and cut into 1" slices. Return to frying pan with Chorizo for a minute or so to mix the flavour. Add the potatoes, and stir fry to absorb the flavours. Add the chopped Kale and fry until cooked. JOB DONE. You can optionally add some chilli powder for a bit more kick, but I prefer it as is.

Sausage, chorizo, kale and potato hash. Lovely jubbly.
