Erm...... lets skip Bangkok on our next trip to Vietnam, Myanmar or Cambodia.....

Just as I skipped a 2 day transit through Delhi to visit Agra, recently, on account of visa fees.

I must say, I welcome the idea.

This will definitely get rid of trash tourists who clog up the airports and streets. Most westerners have been to Thailand at least once amyway....

Why not call himer a mrsiss or even a misstrysiss. That covers the bases

It has been a funny year in Thailand; politics are hopeless as usual, but there have been bright spots and dark spots.

Chalerm Yoobumrung had a brain aneurism. It was significant in a number of ways. It finally proved (conclusively?) that he had a brain, but the incident might have been overplayed by his spin-doctors. The outpouring of grief over his illness was astounding. He survived, and the joy among the populace was palpable.

He also declared that if he does not succeed in bringing Thaksin back by the new year, his supporters may behead him.

The bad news is that there are 17 more days to go, but the chances are that Thaksin will be celebrating his new year in the sandpit.

Oh well.....

Well done..... You will find out how fair minded, cultured, intelligent and non-racist we farangs really are. You have come to the right place!

In an associated report, the Shinawatra govt has paid the Chinese govt in rice to build a high speed rail access to the gulf of Thailand

If you are not trying hit and run and if you really like her why hurry? Can't you have some patience for someone you like?

Yes, I can.

But I've been seeing her twice a week for six weeks, isn't that a bit long to be where we are? That's a genuine question, not rhetorical... I dont know Thai dating culture.

But I know in the UK, go more than a few dates and you still haven't even kissed, if you're not escalating things.. you're going to get friendzoned very fast.

Get some relief from old mrs.palm and her five lovely daughters....

waiting for my approval already 7 years

what a complete joke; beyond contempt

question: are you rich?

if so, be very careful

Its really surprising, I agree.

After all, Thai is the Lingua Franca of international commerce, and given the country's predominant role as a hub of everything, destined to supplant Mandarin, English and Spanish in the near future.

I hear that parents in the US, Europe and China are queuing up to enrol their kids for Thai lessons, so they can compete in the global economy, or maybe just negotiate a decent price for a BJ

There was a place about 16 km east of Kuchinarai, Kalasin Province on hwy 12 on the north side, that raised turkeys. It was closed down during the bird flew crises. I don't know if it has reopened.

Sent from my i-mobile IQ X using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

I suppse the turkeys flew away

So she whizzed off to sober up. No surprise. They should have nabbed her when they had the chance.

Or perhaps she paid to be let go and now they're going after double the fun.

She is going for the Red Bull solution

The missing line above is.

Police will check CCTV in the area as they attempt to identify the assailants and arrest them as soon as possible before they are able to strike again.

But I think it is too late......... getting dangerous out there. Couldn't have been far from the entrance to the Mercure Hotel.

4AM and drunk is not a good deal any place. Gold and cash are too big a challenge for the ganster to ignore.

leave the bling and main cash at home, get a cheap phone for nights on the piss. Dont argue with the robbers, just hand over the few thousand baht and get some sleep

The natives are revolting (again)

I was given a wholesale pack of 200 condoms as a leaving present. That was 21 years ago.....

To Yingluck and her croonies - we salute you for this disaster; a mere 35 years ago Cambodia was dead, dead, dead and war torn - rose from its ashes. Congratulations to Cambodia are in order.

Maybe Somsak needs to be passed on this message on what kind of fantastic crowd of crooks he voted into office again!

Let me guess......

Mr T is long Cambodian rice and short Thai rice futures

I remember reading a while ago that one middle eastern airline, Emirates I think, have effectively valued their A340-500's at zero as they are so inefficient and nobody wants them. How Thai can put such a high book value on them is beyond me.

It's what they do.

Planes, houses, cars, rice all over valued on the books. To quote market value would require a loss of face by them.

Thais will keep a house in a moo baan, unoccupied for years, slowly deteriorating and still attempt to get top value for it.

The concept of "Sunk Costs" is alien to Thais. They'll never understand that something is better than nothing when it comes to business. Those planes have been flown for untold millions of miles and have carried an untold amount of passengers and have no doubt paid for themselves, but the Thais insist on playing hard ball for their price for planes that they will never put up in the air again.

Stupid beyond belief...

Problem here is these A340s have done little miles compared to the norm. like you buy a car for your taxi business and not run it, same same.

Instead of using them on the routes they were designed for they used them on other routes that didn't suit-plus their prices were too expensive so the planes were never full. In service on good routes and prices at a reasonable level filling these aircraft on long haul would not be at a loss.

Stood on tarmac under cover is stupid. Surely to sell all at a reduced cost and put that money into a new A380 without paying lease money.

DOH. idiots. Why are Thai Airways struggling ??? here is your answer -attitude problem-sick management, too many free VIP seats, money pocketed ??? maybe I don't know BUT ???? Maybe Thai should get these planes flying, you can sell easier if used than not used.

I suggest very high ticket prices: they cant be 28% better than British Airways...... or maybe the Thai smile justifies the cost.

Personally, I prefer the Thai smile vertical, and can get 10 of those up close and personal for the extra price of a horizontal smile on TG

Those tourists would never do that in their own countries, red flag means the same everywhere , but here they still believe they can do anything .. just hope he will reward very well the guy who saved him ...... Well done Mr Thanyaboon

Have you ever visited the pristine beaches in Switzerland

We swiss have no monopoly on fine (ocean) beaches but pristine lake beaches grace many of our cities, and I would drink a glass of water off the beach: by the same token, we are not over endowed with agricultural land, or mineral resources, but we do own the biggest food company and one of the biggest mining companies in the world.

No, the combined might of the British empire and France was not enough to subdue the indomitable Thais.

Uh oh....maybe PTP haven't kept them sweet enough.

uh.oh more submarines, fighter aircraft and tanks to buy, and more generals to promote
