yes go and f..k in a brothel, massage parlor, or go go bar, you wont have to walk more than 300 meters in most places. Have some respect for Thai culture, and above all, Thailand's "image" 555

That's news? Next it will be 3 drunk guys seen in Bangkok.

And after that 3 sober guys seen in Pattaya!

Wonder if the purpose of the raid was to vacate the position of station commander because some other upstanding cop was coveting the very lucrative position of Thonglor staton boss. :-/

and might the successors second name be Punponmuang or Pompammuang or something like that. Pattaya done, Bangkok done, and Phuket next, methinks

Wonder if Chiang Mai immigration will take note as they charge 500 Baht for a residency certificate unless you are willing to wait a month for it?

Same in Pattaya: 300 baht.

thank God for the BIB.

Suppression of this soap opera is crucial to the safety of tourists and Thailand's reputation. As a threat to national security it ranks alongside les and his friend.....

bring on the magic 44 powers...

volenti non fit injuria

I would folllow TAT and choose Borocay in the Phillipines

caveat emptor... you get what you pay for

someone didn't get their share of the cut.

Well, the obvious answer is to have a crackdown for the next seven days, after all, it is damaging Thailand's reputation.

Oh, I forgot......

........queue that after:

the road safety crackdown

the corruption crackdown,

human trafficking crackdown

unregulated fishing crackdown

air traffic safety crackdown

patent/copyright infringement crackdown

Thailand's authorities crack me up!

..... and the international community is laughing with me.

Right on cue there's the plea for an extension although this time ' kindly ' is included.

Of course it's never the fault of LoS, as with the air safety issue, what's wrong with doing nothing until threatened with a ban then spring into action and ask for more time. People really need to understand.

There are only three ways to make anything happen in LOS: use one of three levers. "Face", money and a whip.

Thais are obsessed by the first two, and realise that elsewhere laws count. It's a bit like training a dog. Give them food or stroke them behind the ears, and as a last resort the whip.

I think western governments have finally caught on. Morality simply does not work here!

Every time It's at night when their either asleep at the wheel or driving too fast when you can't see 200 yards in front of you because the lighting so bad. Refuse now to drive on highways at night because there's so many idiots.

Not making excuses for any poor or reckless driving, but your point about lighting is very valid. Take Petchkasem road southbound as an example. Once you get past the first Chaam/Hua Hin exit, it turns into a poorly maintained dual carriage way with little to no street lighting which runs like this for about 300 km, until it improves a little bit near Chumphon. This is the main arterial route from Bangkok to Phuket and all in between.

Driving down there in the day time takes concentration, doing it at night with no street lighting, some trucks with no lights, some lit up like Christmas trees, after a while it almost become hallucinogenic, and gauging distance is extremely difficult.

You can never stop reckless driving, but you can at least improve aspects of it to make it safer to drive and stop accidents caused by external factors like poor road surface and lack of lighting. For the main road to the south of Thailand, full of heavy goods vehicles it really should be improved. This is just one example of an area like this.

Gauging distance is difficult because you only have one red eye. Oz has thousands of km of poorly maintained dual carriageway without street lighting - we manage.

You have obviously never driven in Thailand. There is a reason there are so many accidents and deaths, and it is not all down to reckless and poor driving, some of it should be attributed to the conditions of the road surfaces, lighting etc.

Rubbish! You never drive faster than conditions permit. If the road surface, lighting or weather conditions are bad then you go slow. This driver according to witnesses hit the Brio at speed. You can't blame it on brakes... These trucks have gears to slow them down as well.

+ 1

maybe its a genetic problem

Thailand's legal system is a complete farce. They create laws pretending they are a 1st world country, but have a completely inept/corrupt police and judicial system, more akin to a 3rd world country like Zimbabwe.

The only law that is systematically enforced is section 112; the you-know-what law.

I feel sorry for these guys. Most probably trod on someones toes and didn't pay the tea money in time.

Sad...............Actually, I feel sorry for Thais to have to be subjected to this system.

Stop it. There's nothing funny about this.

nooooo..... brrrrrrppphahahaha....sad that he did not cut his balls off for genetic cleansing

Since when is reliability an issue for the navy. The main point of buying them is fulfilled when the money is paid (under the table)

lets start with potty training....

at least they can spit on the floor to their hearts content: it won't make a difference during songkrahn

How about mandatory swimming lessons in school for all kids!

But that would require planning and foresight, not a knee jerk reaction...

It won't happen!

Yet, not a single answer to my question: Give me 1 example in world history of the army cleaning up the mess made by politicians.

Germany 1935....unfortunately at least 40 million died in the process

How hard is it to monitor independently the parameters of each and every registered commercial flight?

How hard is it to disable the pilots ability to go into a catastrophic mode and override 'damaging commands'?

How hard is it to use satellite facilities for monitoring 'suspect' objects like a plane going into a potentially catastrophic mode?

On an International level of-course.

Note: I am flying in a couple of days (true). I do not want my crew represented by drunk Ukrainians, depressed Germans, suicidal Japanese, over-religious Muslims or disappearing Malaysians (joking).

Obviously, then, you will fly on TG. Thais are after all well known for scrupulous honesty, safety consciousness, attention to detail and high education standards.

Corruption in procurement and promotion is completely unheard of here. Standards are rigourously enforced at all times.

Enjoy your flight!

more BIBs than guns

1. Contact Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines or Emirates instead.

2. AirAsia is much cheaper and no worse than Thai.

Problem solved.

If you REALLY (why?) need to contact Thai, try "do you know who my Daddy is".....

but farangs don't count....

revert to step 1 or 2 instead
