They ve got good courts at the British Club as well, but it s very expensive to become a member. Moreover, I do not know if they have a tennis academy for kids.

I know for a fact that one of the coaches of the British Club coaches at the Le Smash Club as well (I am a member there), so you might as well give them a try as their courts are very good and they don't cost near as much as the British Club .

And I'm sure Le Smash has a good tennis academy for kids. At least that is what my tennis friends there tell me!

Cheers!

What a tragic waste of life !

Oh yes, RIP ...

Unbelievable how something like this could happen in the Province of one of Thailand's most famous and versatile politicians.

Do I smell irony :-) ?

This is the same madness as in the US and other nations with obvious problem in handling teenage sexuality. Removing the condom-machine will not stop the kids from having sex -- it will stop them from having safe sex.

Exactly, well said!

You all seem to be missing the point ! It's not about the amount they had stolen it is the way in which it was stolen !!!!!

Who cares whether they had 2,000 or 200!!

I hope they can recover from this Cowardly theft and the Lowlife scum that did it are caught !

Couldn't have said it better

I honestly just don't see the problem, but maybe it s just me being too progressive?

Thailand - a hub of optimism!

Of course. Thailand's economy is growing. It is a leading light in the ASEAN group of nations.

As for everything else - Thailand is the best country in the world, with the best people.

It must be true. Thais are taught this from a very early age. Teachers don't lie.

Anyone who thinks differently just doesn't understand Thai thinking. If they did, they would share this optimism....

Maybe the thai visa expats need a few years of Thai schooling. Then they wouldn't be so negative. Life is so much fun being optimistic. I feel very sorry for most of you lot. I don't think I'd be able to get out of bed if I felt as negative as you lot. Life is so bad for you I wonder why you haven't ended it all.

wow, that last sentence maybe is a step too far, no?

This seems to be happening recurrantly. Do the Tourist police not get involved?

like they would help?

World wide most all universities do NOT force adults to wear uniforms.

good point, and what's the relevance of this topic anyway?

something tells me we will never find out the truth

Funny... he kills a Thai and is sentenced within weeks. He kills a Canadian and two years later still hasn't gone to trial.

sad, very sad...

I wonder where all the fuel goes? Posted Image

In the ocean.......

great

thai jails are soo much better

Since diving does not cause coral bleaching, this is basically a useless move. Still no word on the fishing boats, I suppose?

That's where the pressure is coming from: too many divers are disturbing the illegal fishing in these coral reefs! These fishermen, who clearly inflict the most of the damage to these coral reefs, are disturbed by all these divers around who are "protecting" by their presence these reefs from damage.

Everyone who has been diving in Thailand on coral reefs has seen with his own eyes what kind of damage these fishermen are making... nets all over the diving grounds and broken corals...

Diving is a sport which is much more practiced by farangs than by Thais. Most of the diving business is in hands of farangs and by closing these popular diving grounds (nearby Khaolak e.g.), they are catching two flies in one stroke: paralyse these diving businesses and truning a blind eye again to the illegal fishing...

Indeed, who can explain me what the correlation is between bleaching and diving? Soon we will read that some skies will be closed for sky-divers as they might get entangled in the ropes of the kytes, flown by local Thais in the villages...

TIT!

what a surprise!

In a case of rape the benefit of doubt should go to the victim.

That is all good unless you are the 'alleged' rapist and you are indeed innocent.

exactly. innocent until PROVEN guilty.. but this doesn't make it better for the victim

" You cannot look upon such a monstrosity and even think it resembles pizza,” Lugano said."

and when I though it couldn't get any funnier:

" “But this,” he said, indicating a Pizza Company flyer advertising the new X-Pan Pizza topped with squid, prawns, mussels, crab stick and no apparent cheese or tomato sauce, “this is a crime against humanity.”

Brilliant!!

The 16 year old girl should have been arrested or detained on the spot for driving with out a license, and the person who let her drive should also be held responsible.

yep!

From Drummond's full story:

"A major obstacle to the progress of the proceedings has been the chief of Pai police himself, Police Colonel Sombat Panya, who immediately after the shootings, put out the story that Sergeant Uthai was acting in self-defence while being attacked by Del Pinto, and then proceeded to instruct witnesses as to what actually happened."

unbelievable, unacceptable, Thailand...

Rest in peace. Horrific accident also in Korat Saturday. Sympathy to the families. In God we trust.

Rest in peace yes........In God we trust...........no way! Life is up to each and every one of us! Nobody else!

Agreed!

"If convicted she faces life imprisonment or death under Indonesia's tough anti-drug laws."

Jesus, that's a bit harsh

Its very sad in some ways BUT these women did go there to be sex workers, so it's more of a case of karma gone extreme. Working a proper job(not just sitting there with legs open) would of saved them from this,

EXACTALLY,

they knew. they were letting themselves in for ,

A HARRD TIME . :jap:

even if they chose to be prostitutes, they still deserve some decency and fair working and living conditions

It never surprises me how many nobheads there are in Thailand.

I agree.

the wonderful smell ?
