British man arrested in Phuket over violent tuk tuk altercation
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Should we assume that this is an expat Brit? Why would a tourist feel the need to buy and have a gun with them on their holidays? Way more to this story than we know for now. -
Massive earthquake hits Japan, triggering tsunami warnings
Stargeezr replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So many houses have those heavy cement tiles on their roofs, which is likely why a lot of them collapsed. I am glad that the country of Japan was prepared to deal with eqrthquakes. It will still take time for roadways to get rebuilt and to help isolated places quickly. Good thing that Japan has lots of helicopters to use. -
I agree that there should not be any exemption for criminal responsibility. If a child 10 years old or older kills someone, they should be held responsible and have to spend lots of jail time. The chief did not say anything about executions. Some people need to learn to read the whole article, before commenting. Lawyers should do their jobs in upholding the laws of the country and quit trying to get everyone off the hook, including children who kill.

Until people learn to drive unsistracted and completely sober nothing will change. Stay off you cell phones while driving. If you are drunk, stoned on drugs or both, take a bus or taxi or stay home. Thailand with all its hordes on the highways during the holiday periods, is one reason not to be with them trying to get anywhere. Goode Luck with the rest of 2024. Happy New Year

Danish man on trial for theft in Bangkok Airport
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
A thief is a thief, and being a thief in a foreign country does not make the situation any better. Jail time for this thief, maybe lesson learned. -
Gang stole 12 million baht worth of property from vacant houses
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
There are low l;ife thieves all over the world, I am glad these ones were caught. In Arab lands they would likely lose a hand, at the least. What punishment will they get in Thailand, I winder.? -
Rudy Giuliani files for bankruptcy after $148m defamation verdict
Stargeezr replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Well no matter what this Lawyer is charged with, it looks like he will not be as rich in the future. Maybe Trump will fund him some of the money for his loyalty, ha ha ha. -
Brutal Pit Bull Attack Shocks Community; Victim Succumbs to Injuries
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Rai News
This Is Thailand, but When a dog kills, it should also be put to death. Relocating these dogs will not change their attitudes. IMO -
Revolutionary reforms: Government’s 90-day plan to boost economy
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Oh yes, Thailand, favor one country with a free 90 day visa. Russia is at war, and yet you want to favor that country? The rest of the world will remember your policy.- 44 replies

Thai tourism revolution: Duty-free ditch and booze bonanza
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Duty free shops on arrival have never made any sense to me. Unless you are a near by traveller, after even 5 hours in a jet plane, all you want to do is get to your hotel, or home. More likely the arrival shops were losing money anyway. -
Analysis: ‘House Arrest’ For Privileged Convict Thaksin Imminent
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand is where you expats live, are you still surprised about this? Most people are not. I guess Thaksin will have to pay for his own food, etc now, so there is that. -
Israel losing global support over Gaza bombing, Biden says
Stargeezr replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
The leadership of Hamas have to be considered war criminals as well, and arrested and jailed in what ever country they live. Without leadership of support, Hamas would not exist for too many more months. When I see the fighting are men on TV in Palestine, I wonder how many of them are wounded Hamas fighters being taken to a hospital? After all where do they all go when they are injured? -

That should be fighting aged wounded men. -

I think the whole world economy is still recovering from the pancemic. Why would TAT, Thai government or anyone expect things to recover faster than it is, especially when there are wars and fighting in some of the world still. Good thing that Thailand has other industries to help its GDP. It is also a good thing that Thailand is a tropical country, where people from the cold parts of the world want to come to to escape the cold and snow of Winter. IMO

Fire Destroys Luxury Sedan Belonging to Police Officer in Kathu
Stargeezr replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Yup, that vehicle is toast. -
So, do war criminals like Putin need a special visa to travel abroad and not be arrested? Just wondering. With the amount of fighting aged Russian men and women getting killed, I wonder how the factories and other businesses in Russia will be staffed after this Ukrainian war is over? Are all the Seniors in Russia rich, or are they the ones working now? Just wondering.

With the latest in a string of Tesla recalls, I will wait for another 5 years to make sure all the bugs are worked out before investing in an EV. I hope the power grid around Thailand is enough for all these EVs to be charged every where. I may buy a hybrid for my next vehicle, but Canada is too big of a country to have an EV, if I want to go out of my province and visit a city in the next one. I have a couple of friends who drove to another city in Alberta and had troubles finding an available quick charge station to get their battery charged enough to come back to Calgary. Now they have a small gas powered second car for the long trips, and uswe their EV for local drives.
