Why are effeminate gays referred to as camp, I see nothing effeminate about camping.

Also who is Camp David and why do American presidents like visiting him ?

Camp David is a place not a person, but now that you mention it, maybe there is a David whose camp at the place, but I doubt it, those Presidents would be much happier after a visit, if there were.

Really, well you learn something new every day

I think I will swallow a fork, locking my anus.....

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

I would think locking ones anus could lead to a bad case of constipation and what makes you think anyone would be interested in your anus anyway unless you are offering it around ?

Stick to oral, I mean, if you can swallow a fork I'm sure you could swallow quite a few inches Please ensure you have paid your health insurance premiums before the fork thing and expect a lot of laughter from the medical staff when you are seeking assistance for having done such a foolish thing.

Live with it, they were around before you were (historically), get ear plugs or move to a country that doesnt have Tookays...take your pick. There are many worse things that could be keeping you awake so be thankful.

I have one living part time in my roof and several at work, still not as noisey as the damn cockrel next door who thinks its dawn at 2am, 3am, 4am, 12pm ect !

Arrogant dimwit....all he needed to do was arrange for it to be sent with the appropriate packaging for the item and it would have be fine. Too stingy to pay the extra cost.

Arrogant Thai Visa poster... You even stop to think, obviously not, another dimwitted armchair critic, He would hardly sent a picture to himself, he was not responsible for the packing. Typical TV moron who think they are superior whilst reality is postal workers should at least be able to read !

No doubt if something you were expecting to be delivered ended up being damaged you would moan and expect people to empathise with you, probably post a gripe right here !

Don't judge people without knowing the facts & think before putting spouting such crap.

The only way to ensure less accidents on Thai buses is to wait until the technology for driverless vehicles is fully developed.... I am sure most of the accidents are due to humans and their driving ability.

Until then any sort of transport in Thailand requires 20+ amulets & good luck

Very sad news. Very irresponsible of the boy as well if in fact it was a bomb he was handling while his family were in the house.

They do start to become radicalized early in Thailand.

Look djjamie, you're already guaranteed 1st place in "Most Tenuous Link of the Year" award. You won't be able to top "PTP responsible for death of monk food seller" so why do you keep on trying?

Only able to attack the poster and not the post heay? Typical.

You yourself stated that was not a good practice yet defend it when you do it.

So any thoughts on the OP or my post? Or just continue to be condescending?

ok, I'll make it easy for you to understand;

1. No evidence of any political activity.

2. No specific evidence it was even a bomb and not a gas cylinder explosion or otherwise.

The deceased could just as easily been involved in criminal activity, or been one of those idiot vocational students who attack one another, or a victim of an unfortunate event.

If a bomb maker, he could have been associated with the PDRC. No one has the facts at this time, so why make false accusations and claims?

You know nothing, but weigh in with innuendo and nonsense.

Innuendo and nonsense ? you have summed up most replies on TV

Personally I think we should blame the internet. well why not, its the form on here to make stupid assertions// Oh why the internet, if he was making a bomb its because the construction details can be found online Tenuous or what ! If it wasn't his bomb then the maker probably got the info from the same place

Unless you have ever been close to committing suicide you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

I had a friend in Pattaya who was having real depression problems, there is very little help availalble & even if there was some people cannot be helped. He finally opted to go that way despite a lot of imput from others.

I have been close to doing the same, at that point ones brain isnt necessarily functioning normally & maybe for some it is a better alternative to living.

Less judgement and more compassion would be such an improvement if TV contributors could apply them when posting. What do Thais think of falangs when they read posts I wonder ?

I wonder who will get the contract to provide these? Potentially a very nice little earner.

I wish to bid to supply these items, I have a novelty golf ball finder that I can adapt, it will do the job real good. I will guarantee the system works as no alarms will go off proving how effective my monitor bracelet is

Some guy, HMP UK

Deport them both, there is enough hot headed farang idiots in the country as it is. If you are involved in a fight and use weapons your visa should be cancelled and stamped never to return. Might make some farangs act a little more civil if they know boom boom is going to be cut off.

Didn't know you were a Basil Brush fan.

Basil Brush ? Man you are showing your age guess 95% of readers have no idea who Basil Brush was ! & I'm not sure they have missed much !

Hi,

I was wondering if there were any shops that sell cigarette papers (king size) and filters (6mm) in Nong Khai or even Udon Thani if necessary ? Even a wholesalers address would be ok.

Also looking for a cheap tablet computer, apart from the arcade next to Tesco are there any other good places to go to ?

Oh, one more where can I get Weetabix in the town ? couldn't see any in Tesco last time I crossed the bridge.

Thanks

David

So what? and first post responce is off topic.

At least the 1st post is spelt correctly........

Just back from six days in Luang Prabang. Busy wee place and quite a few higher end tourists, still lots of backpackers though.

Mrs wanted to do the alms giving one morning and the only locals to be seen were the ones selling food to give the "monks".

Recent article in some magazine said there aren't enough locals left in Luang Prabang for the monks to get enough food and tour agencies now supply their food. If you noticed, the tour agencies now lay out the food offerings and at the last minute the minibus loads of tourists rush in and the tourists go and sit down behind the food (for the monks) that has been laid out.

In my opinion this makes the alms giving thing a sham. It's suppose to be a religious activity giving local buddhists the OPPORTUNITY to give alms to the monks for making merit. But then again ... not many locals left. It's become a kind of Lao Disneyland ... although I must admit it's still a charming place if you don't think about the reality.

The Alms giving is an embarrassment, the Monks did not want to do it but were told if they didn't the Government would dress non monks in robes as its a profitable tourist event.

Disreputable Laos are selling substandard food to tourists to give to the monks.

My worry as Laos develops its tourism industry the locals become more 'Thai' and rip off tourists, already I see it happening in Vang Vieng & Luang Prabang.

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, that's why Pat Pong, Soi Cowboy, and Nana Plaza don't really exist;

Illegal under certain circumstances, and at least one of the circumstances, "promiscuous," isn't defined. It's more complicated than you know. Pat Pong, Soi Cowboy, and Nana Plaza aren't in violation of the law. Even if they were, the fines would be small. So you don't really know what you're talking about on this point as well.

who are you going to believe, ME, or your lying eyes?

YOU?

No, the law that you haven't quoted after asked. Nor have you given any evidence of fines, judgments, or deportations--because you can't. BTW, a police bribe for sake of greater convenience isn't a fine.

So, merely TV hot air and bluster.

If you really believe in the event that your unfortunate enough to be in a bar that is raided and that you recollect that there is NO law stipulating that you are required to produce your passport or that there is a 24 hour period that you are entitled to produce, then Knock yourself out. I've been in those situations personally and anyone without a passport or carrying copies eventually cashed-out just to go home.

You just can't grasp the point. Nobody said you don't have to produce a passport. In fact, if you read my post, I said just the opposite. In the raid mentioned in the OP only 4 foreigners were "arrested." ALL the others were carrying their passports? No.

And now you're conceding "or carrying copies," which is exactly what I said. You're just appearing to disagree while unconsciously agreeing. Duh.

As for your alleged "arrests," you offer no documented details on the specific cases and you don't know the specific reasons, the real reasons, they "cashed out," IF they did. Mere hearsay.

Thaivisa, the HUB of hearsay

Boys will be boys ? Nasty horrid bullies will be nasty horrid adults if left unchallenged !

Typical bully, needing 20 mates to sort out one boy so a real man then, bet he feels big.

Probably a Hi So offspring who knows that there will be no consequences to his actions. I hope someone invites Mr Ice for a bit of a tit for tat Uni from a wheel chair might be suitable karma............. I don't normally subscribe to vigilaties but when the law doesnt work and a boy needs a bit of guidance Perhaps they should publish which Uni he is off to so that suitable ragging can be arranged. Hot poker & where the sun doesn't shine maybe.

One thing I noticed, the boy has one surname, the mother another and also the father has another ?? whats been going on there ?

Nice wristwatch on the arm of the accuser in the picture. Wonder how much that cost and where did those funds come from?

1000 Baht, Koh San Rd, a Thai Rolex no doubt, that guy gives all his money to the Temple

Oh dear, he must be guilty of something, he has a bit of Bling on his wrist.... talk about accusing people with zero proof, maybe instead of buying beer every day he saved his money up..... Oh & BTW he is not charged with anything, just a bit of Whistle blowing on the corrupt & you are trying to throw accusations at him, friend of the Monk are you or American as they dont like whistle blowers either....

Wonder if Supreme Distribution will now be upping their price to compensate for the hassle and as they now appear to be the sole bidder ?

It's just another TRASH company that sells broken cheap trash...

Be careful what you write, this sounds like a good case to sue for deformation. I hope you have solid evidence to back up your slander. I suspect you have no knowledge of this company and its your butt doing the typing.

Dusit Thani Hotel and Intercontinental Hotel, harboring anti democratic terrorists with arrest warrants for murder.... great headline.

<sarcasm> really smart move by the executive directors of these hotels </sarcasm> if they dont get criminal charges brought against them, they at the very least should be sacked.

Why should they be sacked, seems to me they are just taking in guests which are at the moment a bit thin on the ground. Terrorists ? warrants for murder, get real, seems half the mp's have murder charges against them.... FFSake, they are in business, freedom of speach does exist here ? they can sell to who ever they want.

What have the managers done wrong ?

Infact they deserve promotion, headlines are good for business & who cares what crap the government turn out about there opponents, no one believes them.

If the media is to be believed all parties in this situation are hardly honest upstanding citizens, perhaps to save your later condemnations no hotel should serve the current ruling party as they will shortly be charged with numerous crimes,

Why don't you just fly with another carrier instead of moaning on this forum.

Why should they employ pretty girls who speak English ? its a Thai carrier and rightly speak their own language. Pretty so you can grope and make the usual sex tourist comment to them ? go fly some muslim airlne, you want girls go to your usual go go bars and if you want to complain do it to the airline not uninterested expats.

"Acting" president Chokchai.... sure, he is acting all right.... I wish he would stop acting and do his job!

It is scary to know that some might go on strike and not work. Does that include maintenance engineers?! On second thought, I guess that means it will be normal day for TG.

I'd like to offer up some "constructive" criticism for TG to upgrade their airlines. Please let me invite others to add comments, as we are all trying to improve our National Carrier!

1. Improve the food - the food in business class and especially economy is disgusting. It is cold, rubbery, and all taste the same. The wine selections are good, but it's like I'm having a cocktail on my TG flights because I only drink and I can hardly eat the food.

2. Get rid of your air hostesses - they used to remind me of my aunts, now they remind me of my grand mother. Really, is it necessary to have some fat, ugly sourpuss who thinks she is entitled serving me? Get these smug, useless women off the plane and replace them with some gorgeous, polite, English speaking young Thai women. I am tired of trying of asking for water in broken English. This is 2014 not 1976.

3. More new planes - the old ones look like something out of Pirates of the Carribean. Old, dirty, smelly, things broken, toilet looks like it is from Isaan.

4. Nicer ground staff - girls hired at TG have "connections." Therefore the most important criteria - "service mind" is optional. Fire impatient, incompetent staff... there are some good ones, but there are some awful ones who think because they wear the TG uniform, they can act like pigs.

5. Change your purple color and your logo - again, get into the 21st century. Your color and logo look like something out of a 1950s movie.

6. Better frequent flyer program - current one entitles everyone to have privileges. Business class lounges worse than waiting at the gate.

7. Business class lounges - the food, the service, God awful... go look at SQ and Cathay to see how it should be done.

I have no time for thieves, they should all be locked up... just a shame the law is not consistent here. i.e. you can get less time for killing someone if you know the right people.

Well I guess you don't live in Thailand then, not liking thieves... The government & most vendors are robbing from tourists. Stay in your home country where corruption (which is theft) happens, maybe not as in your face as Asia but it still happens everywhere.

Lock up every thief......lol, not enough prisons in the world. Of course you have never stolen, cheated on your taxes etc..... Neither I suspect have you been starving & stolen to live...but go ahead, judge everyone. Please do it from your armchair.

As to the boy in question, drunk so probably didnt mean to steal the phone, better for him to have driven into a bus stop and killed a few people.... I mean, a phone is far more important than a few Thai lives and doesnt carry a risk of prison.

here we go - Let's face it - since Dr. Seri said on stage and on TV (Blue Sky that is) that yellow skinned people are smarter than white skinned people there is a huge demand now not only for "yellowing" products - but now white women in Thailand are "pulling there eyes" in adds to look Asian because they want to be seen as smart!

There is also another great opportunity for "medical tourism" in Thailand. "Asian eye surgery" available in Hazelnut, Ocean Blue and Emerald Green - kind of like a facelift just a bit higher up.

We call it the "Smart Eyes" look or something?

.

I think you could be on to something here !

Contrary the media opinion, I think it is a rather clever ad, portraying the Chinese to be superior to non Asian races. The idea of Crixforever could become a reality as China becomes number one powerhouse of the world and some fashion victims will probably want to emulate them !

Whatever the outcome the Mall Management company certainly got its moneys worth as they are now known worldwide

I have the dubious honour of working in a Laos hotel and see a fair number of these tourists. I find generally they are cheapskates, they bring beer & street food back to a 4 star hotel and seem to haggle over every purchase when shopping. I can always spot a Thai at breakfast by the amount they pile on their plates and by their repeated trips to the buffet

And of course they feel they are superior to the locals being mainly from Bangkok.

Poor tipppers by the way but quite amusing to watch

The answer to Edward Snowdens problems.... try finding one whislle blower hidden amongst a million !
