Plant meat is very high in salt content, just go to any large food store and read how many grams of sodium, (salt) is in these hamburgers, or hot dog style plant meat. I will not even try it at A & W or any other place that sells the junk.

Why has this tourist not been deported already? RTP are being a bit slow with this case. IMO

In most countries it is illegal to climb any of these sort of towers. is Thailand different? Just wondering.

It was hot enough in March for me and I stayed indoors most of the day, and AC places in the evenings as well. I prefer visiting Thailand Novemver to January most visits. Hot Season is a good reason for me to returm to Canada and enjoy the cool temperatures of Spring time.

Mother Nature, does not care what kind of person the male or female was. Waves are dangerous when they are large. RIP to the foolish person who did not consider that fact.

I am Canadian, and I do hope this guy is deported and banned from Thailand for at least 5 years if not longer. Harvey

Krabi may be a tourist destination, however there are lots of Muslims who live there and they are a lot more conservative than say places like Pattaya. This stupid tourist is lucky he was only fined for his lack of common sense. IMO Some posters who think Thailand should be like their home country, should be happy that is is not. Cheers.

A tourist on a rental bike, riding on Kamala beach, not very intelligent of this person. I hope the rental company was informed.

Wow, almost one year overstay should be at least a 10 year if not longer ban for this guy. IMO, I wonder if being Russian he will get a lesser time?

There are international laws about smoking on a plane, and vaping should face the same fines and jail time, in my opinion. How these brothers got a lesser fine and not jail time so far is less than what they should have gotten for smoking on an international flight.

Is the modern corruption what we used to call ancient Chinese secrets? Just wondering.

So this jerk is a duel citizen Thai and Chinese by the sounds of it, I do hope he gets a good fine and has to explain his attitude, especially if the car isw a rental.

Well the Chinese still have this activity being done very often. I saw it during many tours in China. When you have to go and there are no safe alleyways to dart into, what other choice is there? Peeing your self lools and feels pretty horrible. For the Thais who were offended, quit being so sensitive. Really, I have seen many Thais relieve themselves, during my many visits to Thailand as well.

I also seen a clip where a Texas solar farm was severly damaged after a hail storm passed over a large part of it and totally destroyed a lot of the solar panels. Oh and those large windmills are pretty high maintenance as the blades, and bushings are not that long lasting and the blades cannot be recycled. Of course we the public do not get great news stories about this situation. At least Thailand does not have cold weather problems, with frost issues and such. Not sure how the big windmills operate in high winds as well, or if Thailand has enough windy days on the plains to make windmills viable. Just my thoughts.

It is the wild wild East these days, lot of guns out there, be careful with facial loss.

None of my Thai relatives plan on getting an EV any time soon. They do not even trust the hybrids. Most of my relative have either a Honda, Izuzu or Toyota and plan to keep them 8 to 10 years. The charging stations are not easy to find in the smaller places in Thailand, The same goes for western Canada. The large cities in Canada have some charging stations, but in smaller towns, it is hard to find a lot of charging stations. Granted there will be more and more charging stations built in Canada, but for now I would only be interested in a hybrid as it will get me to my destination for sure. Harvey

During my klast visit this year, I seen more than 50 percent of Motercycle riders without helmets. Women especially do not want their hair mussed up. The amount of toruists without helmets was troubling, and i bet a lot of them did not have out of country medical insurance. I am happy to be back home in cooler tempertures, even the snow on the ground does not bother me. Hot season in Thailand is not for me. I also seen many drunk people riding motercycles, and am not surprised to read this story of a young tourist dying from a crash. RIP to this fellow, and good luck to all of you with this hot season.

is this not attempted murder in most countries? Just curious what the outcome will be in this case?

Well It is March, and is this not considered the Hot Season now? The forecast sounds like that is the case. SURPRISE!

The root of the problem is, Asia and the burning of debris aftrer harvest. Thailand can not do anything if , Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam keep burnign their debris. Posters who think this is only a Thailand problem are sadly just wrong. IMO

So these 2 NZ boxers have rich parents. I guess the nanny or nannies did not teach these 2 spoiled guys much of anything. Jail time and then bann them for a long time is the way to go. IMO

The new Devided States of America, Trump versus Biden. What a state the USA is in right now. 2 dinosaurs who should both be retired forecfully from politics.

If the two dinosaurs of Trump or Biden is the best the USA can get for their presidents, the country is doomed. My Opinion of course.

I found Thailand to be too hot from the last week of February until I left March 13th. My next trip will be in the November to early February period, when some cooler temperature should exist. The food is still great, and prices for most places to stay were not much more expensive than they were just before the COVID hit. Good Luck with the hot season you hearty expats, and tourists.

Hey Tim, Pattaya may be on the nice list, as the beaches especially Jomtien Beach in the south part, are sundset beaches. Just my Opinion anyway. Harvey
