whatever the government can say ....its impossible to check if its the truth or not ...... the house is burning but we have time to call the fire brigade .... and for tourists if the beaches are not affected ,then they will still arrive in here for sure ...

Employment extension

After nearly 20 years in Thailand , I have to renew work permit and visa every year. Any possibility to have a longer period ( like in many other countries) when you have been here for so many years and work in the same company .

thank you .

His girl friend left when the money ran out ,wow never heard that one before.

No never, lol, happens all over the world.

Good to see the Thais helping the poor German man, Thais are generally very helpful despite all the moaners here.

we it says Tourists gave him money ..... not Thais. but I agree in those situation people are helpful.

That's call COMMUNICATION .............. I will sleep better tonight knowing our PM share the same interest in Thai food as I do everyday at my work canteen. :jap:

3 year in jail ,20,000 baht fee ? not much for 66 dead . ,they should have set some example of other places as dangerous as that pub.

Did she make a police report???????

totally useless ... what can they do ? nothing .........

in 20 years here I have spent a few thousand bath in tea money for police ..... specially at the toll gate after don muang ..they usually stopped me with fake report of speeding , and now I refuse to pay if I did nothing wrong , sometime they let me go ,sometime they want to bring me to the police station ( for god knows what) . a bunch of liars and corrupted people nothing else . :angry:once I was with a diplomat in the car ,he couldnt believe what he saw,police asking for money for nothing .... just because 2 foreigners in the car ... They should keep Amazing Thailand campaign.

well obviously its a Murder ..... I hope the police will investigate the whole stuff and not forget it like many other cases.

Poor girl , the heaven she thought to be on holidays turn to be hell . RIP

you didnt get it , they were sent to another town , more quiet so they can re open their gambling stuff .....and send money back to Bangkok ....

At that stage Thailand would need more than a miracle to get credibility on international scene ....

Amazed in Thailand .

I never used the Airport link as I live around Don muang airport and we have nothing here in terms of Suvarnabhumi transportation .So the only way is Taxi , and prices of taxi in here are very cheap compare with Europe.

Beside the fact that hopping for more tourists is good thinking ,I dont think the Kingdom needs a 500 millions baht campaign. Thailand is already well know for various aspects , night life ,scenery ,food ...Maybe they want to show a different Thailand ? murders , jet ski and tuk tuk scams,corruption etc .... sorry the list is too long. I saw on the news the murderer of that French engineer in Nonthaburi has been released on bail ? wow nice treatment for murderers here ....

Amazing Thailand ............... ooops sorry Miracle Thailand ..... those 200 injured need one actually !!!

Phuket used to be a great destination ...20 years ago it was really really different . I guess its normal, in over crowed touristic areas, to have those problems. I stopped to go to Phuket yearsssssssss ago and I dont miss it one minute. There are enough nice places in Thailand .

As a matter of principle, I avoid as much as possible to do any business with foreigners in Thailand. What ever the negative story about Thais posted in this forum, I know a worst story involving foreigners.

Most foreigners who do business in Thailand do it illegally, which means they are involved witha lot of not-so-nice people and they have developed over the years a crook mentality. It the same for the Thais involved with these people. You do business with them at your own risks.

totally irrelevant , many foreigners do very good business and many Thais do monkey business .... the sadness of that story is that now for a business transaction you got a bullet in the head , what is interesting to know if at 21yo they got a gun ...this is dangerous issuer here .... Maybe in your acquaintance its normal practice to do such business but not mine and I dont recognize myself in your comment , and I been here for 20 years

are we in Thailand here ???????????

everything is about how much money you can pay ...nothing else ! corrupted police .... nothing else . The miracle in this ,would be that he is still alive .

what Phuket needs is a Miracle ...... :lol:

What kind of miracles should we expect ?

the end of jet ski scams ?

the end of corruption ?

the end of dirty beaches or polluted water ?

the end of certain people's arrogance ?

For me Thailand will always be Amazing ....

(electrical) shocking Thailand ......poor guy who thought he could be safe .... well those electrical issues have become the jokes of many TV programs specially all those wires everywhere.

Get rid of those tuk tuk taxis .....would be the best present for tourists.

what's wrong with Swedish ? 2 killed a third one in phuket and now this case ?

ah damned ...... I thought it would be quiet for another few years ..specially as living not far from DM ... I wonder how it will be organized when people who come from abroad at Suvharnabumi but must go to don muang for domestic flight .

Reminds me Charles Dickens story back in the 19th century ... oh but this is 2011 ..poor kids ...

did he get his money back ?

want to see a movie ? at good price ? wait few days and buy DVD on silom or sukhumvit ...100 baht and from your home enjoy ..
