    If they arrive on a boat from Calais, they are. Anyhow, it is all off topic as is your Brexit nonsense. It is about Thais being able to travel Visa free to the UK....and admitted as tourists. I say good to that.

    It's not 'Brexit Nonsense'. Before Brexit there was a returns agreement with the EU whereby boat illegals could be returned to France. There is no such agreement now that the UK has 'taken back control'.

    What did the family of the cop that Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya killed?  100K THB I believe.

    Here in Thailand the state is happy to separate the haves from the have nots again (as the Thaksin fiasco exemplifies).

    Nobodies get next to nothing in compensation; somebodies get lavish compensation.
    And if the prep is a somebody?  They skate.  If the prep is a nobody? Throw the book at them.
    Here in Thailand that is called equity and justice.

    100k USD not Baht.

    I believe they land and are accommodated, taken care of. Once they have applied for asylum they are (they get refugee status). I am very much of the belief the UK really does not tell us the true total cost of all this, it is politically a hot subject.

    Genuine Asylum Seekers are not illegal immigrants. Illegal Immigrants do not have a right to remain or claim any benefits and the current mess is squarely on the present Conservative Govt who have been in power well over a decade but have done little to solve the problem of illegal migration. The Brexit debacle has compounded the whole sorry mess.

    Many foreigners IMO think because Thais get away with crimes or short sentences some even ignored by the RTP, they think it's ok for them to follow suit. They even think they can drive a M/C better and faster than a Thai, I know that statement will bring a lot of criticizes, but in my local area it is true.  

    Faster, certainly but better? If they are better why is the accident and death rate here amongst motorcyclists so horrific?

    Ok, as I am reading this at 09.38 am today, and the news was published about 10 minutes ago. Hmm... the only conclusion is that someone has about 22 minutes to live, before getting crushed by cement. 

    The accident was reported by Thaiger yesterday. It appears as a cut'n'paste in Thaivisa today.

    And therefore they don't need a loan.

    Sometimes it pays to get a loan. A while ago the car I wanted was available on 0% interest. I tried to get a loan so I could leave the lump sum in the bank earning interest. 'Sorry don't lend to farang' despite long-term visa and pension well over immigration requirements. Cash it was and the bank missed out on some business.
