thats the second hub idea today from Authorities.,,, thats just 2 in a day though.

Authorities, you useless scum, you could do better than that, you are damaging Thailand's only credible reputation the H..hub, apart off course from the S.. hub. Surely 5 hub ideas a day should be possible!

I think a hub committee needs to be set up and hub study trips are an urgent necessity. Yingluck will be your pretty travel guide..

Here's an idea: package it as a protein rich complete meal. Insects are the food of the future and Thailand as usual, is leading the way.

Perhaps they will now refer to this product as the "Darlie" Doughnut

I use Darlie Toothpaste it's the best!

no siree, I is a pink peyson, and i DO NOT lIKE BEING CALLED WHITE. So Mr.... I suggest you hold yo colo based comments to yoself.

As a white person, I think this denigrates my race, making black look more attractive than white. I wish that HRW would get on the case. I had a dream...

There's probably someone on a good salary at HRW who needs to justify his job. I would have thought there were a lot more important issues in the region.

This seems a pitiful waste of time

Human Rights Watch Asia (should be) under fire for 'racist' report title:

The Dark Side of Green Growth

Where is the outrage?

Arabs always seem to enjoy a good old fight, and have taken a liking to a bit of fighting between the tribes.

Good thing too, a bit of a barney never hurt anyone, lets off steam and all that! I don't think that the US or UK should lift a finger to interfere in this conflict.

Keep 'em busy, old boy, I say, and stop 'em blowing up planes and tall buildings n the west.

Arguments about wearing a burqua in Paris seems like a lot of gas when Syrians need European support from the west.

Jolly good show!

It is very hard to hurt the image of Chinese people.

They are the top level predators on the planet, eating tigers, sharks and rhinos. People are mere factors of cheap production.

Anyone who has anything to do with them will attest to this.

Stealing cutlery off a plane is absolutely expected behaviour.

I think they should just charge them SGD10 more before boarding

"Meanwhile China has voiced concern at recent accidents befalling its nationals on snorkelling trips."

Ah. And that would be the same China where they sell dodgy baby formula, drive over toddlers, ignore toddlers that have been driven over, and have several of the world's most polluted cities .... the list goes on a long, long time and I haven't even mentioned the human rights abuses.

China and its government are the archetypal heap of sh*t.

When it comes to ethics in business and government, it seems that Thailand has already learned a great deal from China: and now the Thai govt is learning a good deal from China about control of public opinion. The Arab Spring could well become the Asian summer and Thailand could be the Tunisia

shades of 1996......

make sure you use a condom even if its a late night/early morning quicky. Change sim, consider leaving the country, delete facebook account.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned......

i am sure that there are some very sensitive toes attached to powerful somebodies in this entrenched mafia. Unlikely that a mere police commander can do very much, but it takes a brave man to try

At last i can rest assured that my next trip up North will not result in carnage.

Maybe Thailand should look to India for inspiration on how to run a railway system albiet inherited from the British.

CCC

A railway system inherited from the British????? OH DEAR.

Probably like every rail system on the planet. It seems the Brits do have habit of inventing things which the rest of the world seems to adopt. Ah, the heavy mantle of leadership!!

Call for Thai liquor industry to 'practise modesty'

Ill raise my glass to that

Wow, I am just amazed by the crap this government churns out. After 21 years in Thailand, and I have never come across such a concentration of BS. Its like a day to day bombardment of the stuff, and frankly, very depressing.

Soon Thailand can stop importing fertilizer to grow rice no one wants, and just spread the shit that comes out of parliament on the fields, and then buy the rice back at prices way above market.

I am really not sure what happens after that, but my money is not betting on Thailand.

I don't see the problem; chemical-laden rice goes really well with tripe-fed chicken over the top and a side-helping of pesticide-laden veggies, all brought together with lashings of MSG! Amazing Thailand indeed, though can't really blame them as this is the MO in most of this region.

it also goes well with prawns http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2294246/Love-eating-prawns-Youll-right-tell-THEY-fed-on.html

I have started a website, www.campinginthailand.com, which gives a personal, hopefully unbiased view, on a non-commercial format, based on 20 years of camping in Thailand. Some of the info is out of date; If you have ideas,and updates post them there.

i have started a website to address the needs of people looking for information about camping in Thailand,

Like the lead poster, I have camped all over Thailand, and share the love of camping in Thailand. The website is non-commercial. Please post and share your experiences.

chinooks anyone? I remember a cabinet minister, now in dubai, promising to solve the traffic problem in 60 days. He is now a resident of Dubai

I do think these guys all deserve each other. Just wish they would not miss next time: both sides.

Stop bringing your western values to Thailand... they don't work here.

Hitler is just a historical figure, no worse than Chairman Mao.. so get over it.

Just assuming you're serious for a moment, Mao killed by the million only his own people, and that by accident. Hitler deliberately murdered tens of millions of Europeans and others as a part of his attempt at world domination, and specifically tried to exterminate the whole Jewish race. Can you see the difference?

Sorry, but your data are wrong. Mao caused the direct killing between of 6 to 10 million people in China. Only on the tibet were 800.000 deads.

In the "laolai" 50 millions of people were imprisioned and it's estimated 20 millions were killed on them

So.....Mao was much worst than Hitler in terms of death. And seriously, I do not believe Mao give much better conditions to the politic prisioners than hitler.

Of course, this doesn't make Hitler a good person, but Mao was worst in my opinion

It's not just about body counts! Hitler destroyed countries, cultrues, and would liked to have wiped out certain races of peoples too. Germany caused two devestating world wars in a relatively short times space which cost the lives of many millions and changed the world forever. China suffered terribly under Japanese imperial forces, and then had to suffer communism under Mao. China has not caused world wars.
