Did this boat not have those self inflating life rafts? I guess not as surely they would have begun evacuating the boat minus 1 or 2 crew members. Did they even carry enough life vests for everyone? Oh dear, making money seems to be the number one priority again.

Immigration people are already not happy people 😜 so you deffo gunna piss them off if you do it 😝 good luck 🤞🏻

I think he should be deported but I doubt he will be, probably be someone in a position of authority who’ll take a brown envelope to set him free. vast majority of people can drink all day and night and get totally sozzled resulting in falling down, 🤭 being sick 🤢 and sleeping 😴. Then there’s that minority that become violently dangerous to all around them. We’ve all seen them. Time to get rid. Detain, fine, blacklist and deport.

Or even Swiss 🇨🇭

Reply to Impulse: You have a good point, however, I still stand by my argument and even in the “ultra regulated markets” as you put it, council regulated taxis are still fiendishly expensive and this creates a space, a space for competition, and competition drives innovation and in come the entrepreneurs with their modern fancy new apps. And I must add that a lot of Thai women don’t feel safe with the Thai cabs but feel safer in a Grab. But the real point I’m making is that Thai Meter Taxis are also well regulated but choose to defy those regulations. Personally when I’m in Downtown Bangkok I prefer to take my life in my hand and use the motorcycle taxis.

The so called “meter taxis 🚖 “ who often don’t want to use meter are angry at the “Grab, Bolt, Etc era they find themselves in. Not surprisingly, however these new types of app based taxi wouldn’t exist had it not been for the greed of some (a lot) of the meter taxi drivers. The Taxi industry is like all others in that, if you are too expensive the competition door will open. It’s hard to find a solution when corruption exists at all levels and introducing a scheme which rewards drivers by giving them gold star badges just opens up another potential layer of bribery and corruption. I have visited Thailand every year for the past 15 years and finding the taxi who’s driver instantly says yes when asked to use the meter is year on year becoming increasingly difficult. 😞

Good old banks ( the world over) Taking good care of our savings, they have to eat just like the rest of us.

Hmm rather a lot of cash. Looked like he was in a hurry to get rid of the fake notes as he already had 200k in genuine TB. Must be quite good fakes to have fooled the operator at first. Time to pay for your crimes!

Me too. They wanted a lot more. I wish I had gone to Police Station but I was afraid of being set up so instead I paid up.

You may or may not have a biggun, however you do have a big strong dog. He looks awesome and I bet his love is immeasurable. A dog of this size and strength can cause life changing disfiguring injuries to a child’s face ( hands, legs etc) in a split second, particularly if they were suddenly startled by perhaps a child slipping and landing on him while he slept. We’ve all read and continue to read stories about how trusted dogs attacked seemingly out of character. I sincerely hope this never happens with your lovely dog, but consider this, if it were to happen and your dog attacked someone they, (assuming they were not killed) you and others would have to live with the consequences for the rest of your lives constantly being reminded. This isn’t aimed at you in particular it is aimed at all the dog owners who think it will never happen to them with such certainty that they take their eye off the ball.
