khao Kieao open zoo in sri racha is quite good fun

might this explain Thai males' delicate ego?

just did this after 24 years on work permit.....

Just let it expire while I was in Cambodia, and came back on tourist visa, then non immifrant o visa

retired now

Current Dmax Isuzu 3.0 2004 model. about 450,000km. No issues except consumables.

I think you can expect at least 500,000 km. Probably longer here than in a cold climate, as no issues with cold starting/ oil viscosity. My dmax is 8 years old and 225,000 km... just run in!

Does the influential figure drive a pink Bentley and have a penchant for expensive wine, as well as a recurring problem with ear-ache?

Would anyone expect anything less, and least of all the truth ex post facto from ANY senior Thai government official?

These people have a sense of entitlement that stifles people's rights and makes a mockery of the legal system.

Par for the course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the vice governor said so, and he is after all in charge of vice, along with the police, who take care of vice.

Very dubious that an ex-mayor seems to socialise with armed people who have multiple warrants against them for murder.

But not at all surprising!

The man identified with only his first name, Hama.

Could that be HAM by any chance?

now only half a ham

How can you seriously put a train doing 300Kph on line 150km long to a holiday resort, The Chinese done it on Tianjin line 120ish ks , but that's from Beijing to an Tianjin which is the 4th biggest city in China,Population 14 million But Bangkok to Pattaya , couple of dozen piss heads and ladyboys. Never happen far too expensive

Financial viability has never stopped any megaproject in Thailand.

Viz.. the Hopewell project, the train service Makkasan - Swampy, the expressway to Don Muang, the Bangna - Chonburi elevated expressway, the Government Complex at Chaeng Wattana, and many many others in almost every province.

The only thing that EVER mattered is that the right pigs have their snout in the trough.

Thainess!

it will certainly be noisy

I hope this includes the University of Khao San Road, with its prestigious degrees, which epitomises Thainess.

Everything for sale, no real values, and no legal system to speak of.

Makro used to have great alskan pollock, which is very similar to cod and great for frying. They seem to have stopped importing this, which is a great pity.

Their dory. actually it is Pla sawai or Pangasius isn't worth feeding to the cat: it tastes like blotting paper that has been left in muddy water overnight. I tried their silver lined grunt, which was quite good, but no where near as good as the pollock.

Shoot the messenger and blame it all on the Burmese: Thais never take advantage of foreigners, are not greedy, are always honest, and never lose their plot when their big faces are broken.

Did they 'accidentally' return the infamous fake Blue Diamond along with those relics, too?

I wouldn't be surprised if the real statues have found a discreet home with the real blue diamond

The alcoholics aren't going to like this.

except at all little mom and pop stores who sell at all times

Thailand truly deserves its bad image.

The RTP are about 80% to blame.

What keeps the Junta from a systemic reform of this rotten force? Is it the fact that the Thai Army, Navy, and Airforce combined ain't got the guts? Thats my bet!

I hope regional competitors take note. The combined Army, Navy, and Airforce ain't got guts

Well, lets buy a few submarines tanks and jet fighters to solve this fundamental problem!

So at the end of the day you will still just have to pay Chotima Driving School to get a drivers licence and the proprietor of the school is running this service for the good of the people who drive on the dangerous Thai roads, I suppose on the positive side of things it’s a start to educating drivers in Thailand might be a better idea to get some traffic cops who could do a honest days work and prosecute the wrong doers on the roads

returning happiness to the people who run the country: tyring job, but pays well.

hab lain, load him slipely

dibe slobly!

roo mai?

mai roo loh!

.........and all I ever ask for is a bonk!

Everywhere in asia, especialy where Chinese hold sway, money in the right palms speaks volumes... its in the genes.You just have to live with it and its consequences

Very simple

1 russian = 2 chinese

3 chinese = 1.5 russians

therefore russian tourists have increased by 50% according to TAT maths

tourist revenue will increase next year.

TAT doesn't worry about the cost side of the equation

I have a thousand Baht that says the driver will never be brought to justice...

the driver had 30,000 in loose change on him to say he was under the limit and will never be brought to 'justice'
