They should have been given 1 year in Bkk Hilton then deported with life time bar entry from Thailand. Real scum bags looking to free load.

Yea I will believe when I see 3G icon on my phone display. ha ha

I will believe all this when I see the 3G icon stay on my phone display for an extended amount of time. ha ha

One thing to notice is that they are not on the Runway but in the parking areas

Aircraft status changed to boat

Future transit with these aircraft will change their announcement before Float off:

Ladies and Gentlemen, can please put on your life vest, stow you paddles in the up right position and make sure all kids do not drink the Klong Water while in transit. Our In Float entertainment will consist of"smells of the Klong". We will be serving an in float snack of flys. Thank you for floating with us today

He should have got death but sadly the UK does not have that.

They should have gave him death. 10 years is way to easy for this thug.

What a strange case, looks like they are after him anyway they can. I hope he does not have any criminal things in his back ground like jay walking, spitting on the side walk, or speeding in his car. ha ha He needs to be in jail but he needs to be convicted for what he did, not just any charge so they can get him behind bars.

Yea that's the big worry......what if these things breed. We are in trouble then

They will do well in Thailand I think as their stuff suits small rooms and they have great selection. As said before they have different quality items from cheap & nasty to pretty good. I have bought quite a bit of things over the years from IKEA in the middle east and I have never found any screws to be missing and they have first rate instructions on assembly that is mostly in pictures without words.

They should have given tem 1 year in the Bkk Hilton, that would break them from the habit. they got off much to easy on this one. And yea the names were pretty strange also.

What about a hotline in Thailand from respective embassies for 'abused farang'?

Ha ha Thats what I was thinking...........Yes Consul, I would like to have your advice on my wife throwing me out of the house I built and paid for, also she cleaned out the joint bank account of 1 million baht plus I now know that her Thai brother who lived with us was really her husband.........What is your advice????? ha ha ha

I helped a friend build a small 85 sq meter house 6 years ago near Buri Ram and it cost less than B1000 per meter for labour. It was Thai 3 star style. I bought all materials my self and watched them like a hawk. All up 6 years ago we did 85 sq meters including labour for about B700,000. I built 70 square meters near Korat about 1 year ago. Again 3 star Thai style and this time it was turn key and cost 750,000 bhat including labour and all materials. Both houses have good tile, Thai granite kitchen counters and bathroom counters. That does not include air conds or stove tops. Both houses have good quality wood windows and are both quite nice houses but not fancy by any means. In my mind the smaller you build a house the better as:

(1)Less problems with family moving in

(2)Cheaper to use the air cond & cheaper to build

(3)Maybe have some money left to buy a small condo outside of Bkk for a break from up country as it gets a bit boring if you are up country all the time

Hi,, can't help you much with the materials yet, but we've been quoted prices of 3500 Baht per sq mtr for labour only,, and have 3 quotes of between 10,000 and 12,000 Baht per sq mtr for an all in price, using top grade materials (whatever their top grade may be),, this is based on 205 sq mtr single floor 3 Bed 2 Bath, Euro Kitchen build with garage, the 3500 baht labour was from a decent Thai builder, and the all in price of 12,000 was from a BKK architect and his band of merry men,,,, we are out in the sticks, but not as far north as you guys, only a couple hours north of BKK and flood free.

Thats what they call "mid-rate" I think. half way in between buy and sell so its not accurate to see what the real rate for selling is. better to get that rate from the bank where the money will arrive. Its on their web site in most cases.

According to XE the present exchange rate is

1.00 AUD = 32.7665 THB Australian Dollar Thai Baht

I think he means Backhoe, thats what Thais call an excavator. Some have extra long booms to dig deeper but they can dig deeper by making a step half way down in the pit if required and they work off that step for the deep part.

Hi there, round here they dig the hole for free and sell the soil, but haven't seen a digger that could go that deep. Jim

Tough love is called for here. Throw the book at him so:

(1)He will learn

(2)Others will see him as an example

If you let this kid off easy he will just do it again and or others will do it.

Do the crime, pay the fine. At 14 he can read and he knows better.

Sad story.........Another lesson in the dangers of motorbike rental for people who seldom ride one. And no helmet to boot. The helmet should come with a motorbike rental in my opinion.My best wishes to the family.

God Forbid that it flood Soi Cowboy or Sukhumvit Soi 33 where the dead painters bars are

Is this all a ruse?

Who is guarding the banks and the gold shops?

I have it on good authority that Nemo is guarding the banks, and Charlie the Tuna has been assigned the gold shops.

Thanks for the laugh...

grammaire corrections - good humority, (river) banks, and gold (fish) shops

He may need more training before he calls Dana White to get a UFC contract

QANTAS sure has had a lot of incidents in the last couple of years that sound like near misses to the untrained observer (myself and most people). Is the industry competition driving the executives to cut corners on safety & maintenance or is this just a series of coincidences? I know we have some pilots around here who probably have a thought or two.

Their incidents get reported more widely than other airlines is the real reason. The media hate them, but the fact is they haven't had a fatal accident for 60 years or so.

Gosh do not let CNN get onto this "news" as they will blow it all up to gain viewers

CNN....Oh yea the Communist News Network....ha ha. CNN is horrible about blowing almost anything out of shape and making up their own details.

Hope it's not a slow news day back home. This is just the kind of story CNN loves to run with.

Good luck....I think u are going to need it on this.Or at least lots of cash to get it done at a minimum.

Well as most say move. Maybe even just move across town if you are in Bkk as in move from say Sukhumvit to Nontaburi but you have to change friends and bars....ha ha. Best to move from say Bkk to Hua Hin and yea get another Ebay account because she will be tracing your online sales I would guess.

She must be in love eh I mean she must be broke.

Doesn't help you but i wish there was a stalking law for electrical depertments in large superstores.

Do not forget HOME PRO.....They are also stalkers until they see you go to the floor tile section where it might be some work to sell.......ha ha ha ha

Not sure now but many years ago Fords were about Baht 30,000 cheaper than the others and in my opinion as good or better with parts being cheaper than most. As far as resale well pay B30,000 less when new and take B30,000 less when you sell but a guy needs to keep a vehicle 5 years or more. I am still riding my 8 year old Ford with 230,000 kms. My first Ford only run 400,000 kms with no problems before I traded for a new one.

Good job....that new Ford looks pretty impressive and the Chevy close behind...if the Mitsubishi changed the weird body style,they would be close too...hope the image will change in Thai community,so the market will be more competitive.I guess,the only problem for the Ford and the Chevy is the resale value...
