[Thai ship sinks in the Gulf off Prachuap - all aboard are safe but some media report injuries and missing]

Maybe this is why the armed forces need a bigger budget, for more training not useless subs.

[Crackdown on illegal immigration - Indian on 974 day overstay nabbed after information from spy]

I have never seen an Indian in Chaiyaphum, I guess he just stayed home and kept to himself.

[Kuwaiti man arrested on Pha-ngan Island for 16 days of overstay]

Hardly crime of the century, fine him for overstaying then if he cannot pay deport him. Chances are if he cannot pay the fine he will not be able to pay his airfare home.

[Fancy lampposts! There may be tough economic times but Thai council still spending millions on "Kinarees"]

Solar lights are cheap on Lazada, and posts are not very expensive either. 555.

[Netizens Blast Building A Drain Higher Than The Road]

Let them finish the road before you comment, most roads in Thailand are built this way.

[Investigation underway as sink hole gobbles up 10,000 fish in Chiang Rai field]

No one has said how deep the hole is, have they made any attempt to find out???

[Over 3,000 Arrested Over Illegal World Cup Gambling]

Big payday for police in fines, even at 100 baht per person.

[Political activist Srisuwan Janya to sue Thai government over allowing foreign land ownership]

I think everyone has missed the point here, we can and do own land in Thailand. When I lived in Pattaya I owned my own house in a company name, and sold it with no problems, now that I live in the country I am married and we own a small farm here. Thai law states that if you are devorced you are entitled to half of all assets and I have had a couple of friends that have won their court cases. You can also take out a 30 year lease if you so choose.

[Putting objects in the road to stop people parking is illegal, govt warns]

How many police drive up and down the roads every day? If they opened their eyes and warned the offenders to remove the objects from the road or be fined then maybe less would do it. Maybe they should also try to remove restaurant table and chairs from footpaths. 555 what a joke, it will never happen in my lifetime so lets just put up with it.

[Prawit points the finger! "Big Pom" rattles RTP cage ordering an end to bribery and corruption NOW OR ELSE!]

Does that mean no more brown envelopes from bars?????

[Monkeypox: Thais advised to avoid sexual contact with foreigners, hotels advised to clean properly]

Please do not give my wife another excuse not to have sex with me!!!

[Thai stats indicate BA.4, BA.5 likely more serious than other COVID sub-variants]

What happened to the common cold or influenza have they disappeared because of new covid strains?????

[Thai Public Health Ministry encourages public to receive booster vaccination before traveling]

WHY ??? He has had at least 4 and look at him now. sorry but all Bu.. sh..

[Tourist cop and associate deny extortion - charges laid and bail denied]

When I had a bar in Pattaya I had a few police come in saying I had to pay, I told them all I only pay the top cop and for them to sort that out. It worked as I only paid one cop once every month.

[17 year old driving a pick-up blames "lap nai" (microsleep) for accident that kills 1 injures 8]

I thought they also passed a law about no passengers allowed to ride in the back of a pickup.

[Falling asleep at the wheel: Far more cases than reported, says accident prevention doc]

The problem is if you toot your horn at a Thai they may take offense and then anything can happen.

[Does Anyone Trade Forex ?]

I trade both crypto and FX using a broker and I am doing very well thankyou.

[Case dismissed: Big Joke has no comment after perjury case is thrown out]

In Pattaya most bars pay (tea money) to police on a monthly basis and if they don't an excuse will be found to fine you anyway. If this isn't corruption then what is???

[Non O extension : Yellow book, Pink ID]

I recently got my pink card and yellow book in Chaiyaphum, it was cheap easy and painless so I have no idea why people are saying they have to jump through hoops and at great expense.

[Thailand’s first Omicron variant death reported in Songkhla province]

Lets just blame covid for everything and be bone with it.

[Pub-like Eateries to Be Closed at Level 4 COVID Alert]

Everyone is focussed on the bars and alcohol but what about the markets and overcrowded factories,

I have read a lot more clusters are attributed to these places than bars.

[Omicron impacts tourist numbers]

What a lot of rubbish but they have to blame something to save face so lets blame Omicron for no tourists. Open all bars and nightlife and see how many tourists come. 

[“Restaurant” near Bali Hai Pier inspected for the fifth time for allegedly breaking Covid-19 rules]

How can they get away with it 5 times without something being done. Close the place indefinatly for not obeying the law and if they open again lock up the manager and staff for a week or so, they will soon comply.

[Pattaya: 16 vs 2 as restaurant staff attack Thai man and his friend; "shouldn't happen in a tourist town"]

What was the place doing open at 4am???

[PM confirms no Thailand’s border closure yet, dashes hope for early revival of nightlife]

I say again it is only the bars in Pattaya that spread covid, bars in Phuket, Bangkok, Cha Am, Korat and many others seem to operate without spreading Covid. Covid is now very Particular in where it decides to spread. By the way it doesn't like concerts or firework displays because they are to noisey or there are to many people so covid does not know who to choose. Lets get real, open nightlife because covid is never going away.
