No offence but I saw it exactly opposite...IMO 2 of the judges had it spot on actually..

OP you lived in thailand did you work in thailand and earn thai wages?

Because of the exchange rates between the USD and bht the costs would seem much cheaper for you.

I got by on about 40,000-50,000 baht a month from my internet biz. I had TONS of money for fun. There was never a dull night. I lived like a Thai and blew the rest on vice. Could never do that here.

Not to sure about that..Last time I was in the states I didnt see anything "vice wise"that I would have spent my hard earned on, they were mostly ugly.fat and loud mouthed..

ahem, can I be the first to say 'this kind of thing can happen anywhere'?

Ahem, excuse me, not sure from where you are from but, ZERO first world countries I have been to have Taxi motos and open 3 wheel trikes for general public hire..

Perhaps you were just exaggerating a tad?

Taxi robberies of course could happen most places on the planet, except Antarctica as there are none there as yet...

I reckon it's more of an "old" generation thing, my Dad said something similar years ago and I took him aside and corrected him.

Not that what they say is actually incorrect it's more about when it's said and who it's being said to. I don't think your dad is a racist at all...

As if they were about to this shit and don't forget they were helped by a thi's as its clear without them nothing is possible and we are hoping to hear the names of thai rackit as well.As bangkok is famous around the world and is known as scam city and every one is advised before to getting to bangkok about 90% scams and kinda shit done by the help of thai peoples as we use to read many news every day.

Wow tips that's really deep....................................I think..............

Indeed. I wish people would proofread what they wrote, and correct it, PRIOR to posting. Or at least have the decency to reread what they posted and correct it.

To me, tips post is nothing but jibberish.

Geez for a first post I rather thought it was quaint....

Another one joins the fold.....

Hahahahahaa all the oldies on thaivisa forgot how fun it was to be a kid

Not all of us mate....

This bloke certainly doesn't travel very much...

Gentlemen, what was the consensus … worth the 3 minutes on my life to watch it?

Not to sound negative but....That video was total C R A P... ( well the 42 secs I watched )..

Hope he dies soon. Evil trator made the world a far more dangerous place

Excuse me oh wise one..What is a "trater"?

You forgot Mr Glock...

what are the chances for real justice overhere?

One of the best things I ever did in Thailand was to cancel TOT, their speeds were pathetic, How I got out of my 12 month contract was I called them daily, insisted on them coming out to repair, after a month of them coming out I was informed that the 12 mb I was promised was not available in my street this giving me a "get out" option. I then moved over to 3 BBB bought an unlimited 12 mth plan and paid 5400thb for a year upfront, in the 4 months I have had it they have been out once and that was due to rain effecting their equipment, one phone call and within 2 hrs problems fixed. The plan I have is unlimited and I download torrents daily my use averages around 200 gig per month and speed is constant..EXCELLENT service

" carried on driving for almost a km and then stopped to find a car stuck to the back of his truck which was on fire."

Correct use of mirrors for the driving test

Inadequate use of mirrors is not only a very common reason to gain minors in the driving test, it also leads to many driving test failures.

The back of a truck is a blind spot, what amasses me not only hearing the sound like an explosion, he must have felt some of the impact, he could have reasonably suspected it was a blow out but why did he not stop sooner to investigate.

12 tons of steel plus, let's say, another 2-3 tons for the 10 wheeler itself. I suspect he felt very little as the car mass is low in comparison plus it crumpled the front end of the car cushioning the impact more. May have felt he came over a bump.

Just for your and others information..

A "10 Wheeler flat bed ( tray ) truck has a tare weight of approximately 12 tonnes of course this can be vary slightly depending on configuration... Further it would IMPOSSIBLE for a driver not under the influence of drugs or booze not to feel the cars impact,regardless of whether the car was in flames or not, this is not just unlikely it is plainly 100% impossible. The driver is a liar pure and simple.

I doubt you will will be missed on this forum Ben...Move along thank you...

i really wonder whats going on, in south thailand. What can push thai people to commit this senseless killing of innocent victims?

Simple answer...RELIGION..

There are a lot of filthy rich people in Thailand. I see more expensive vehicles on Thai roads than I have ever seen on Aussie roads.

Guess you need to look further than Moorabbin mate

Marry her immediately as I am sure you are quite correct re Diamond, don't worry about the language barrier ( no need to in depth heart to hearts right? ), this seems to be a relationship from the heavens. Please let us all know the wedding day...

I wonder how the police feel now about doing police work

Hardly police work, I would think wheel clamping would be the responsibility of the city such as it is in most countries, police are usually only used for more important work than this, having said that this "clamp down" is warranted and good on the powers that be that have ordered it...

Doesn't sound any more ridiculous than many other stories I have heard in my years here, I for one believe them....

( image courtesy of Bangkok Post online )

My only words is YOUR paper is very slow in reporting as this incident happened in the early hours of Wednesday morning as reported in most other papers and online.....

P.S. Personally I think before name calling i.e. stupid, one should attempt to get one's facts correct as it rather makes that person look somewhat an imbecile... just saying.

How dare Tiger act like nearly everyone here on Thai Visa

Not everyone

Pretty simple to find the cause and fix it if the government had the will.

Go in and inspect the mining operation's procedures, test the river for cyanide and other contaminates. It would seem pretty simple to lay blame where it belongs if the river is contaminated. If it is contaminated then issue a stop order until all problems are fixed and extract a very heavy penalty paid to the villagers and threaten with closure if the problem is not solved so it would require a followup investigation or two or three.

FYI..."Although the mine is now closed, pollution and sickness - for which the authorities have not held anyone responsible - may remain for a long time and require a lot of tax money to fix."

Faulty logic here but I won't wast my time with you.

The catholic church built school who provided eduction to people all over the world. Which other religion did that ? Please answer.

Among the thousands of people who sacrifice their life to provide education to the less favorized, there was a few bad apples. You focus on them because of your twisted mind.

To suggest that the building of schools somehow makes child molestation ok, is deplorable.....

Again faulty logic.

So because there is a chance that school may attract peadophile, school shouldn't be build ?

You are against education, make it clear.

I don't want to start an other religion war. I don't know if you are a muslim, jews, mormon, or just no god, you've obviously an axe to grind with the catholic church. That's your problem, please keep it yours.

Where is your defence against a huge amount of Catholic priests being arrested over the years, for assault on minors, and particularly young boys they lure into choirs and performing altarboy duties, only to have a cassock ripped off them and receive buggery?

There is no argument against education here. It is the history of quite often what lay behind the intent of the priesthood to open schools, especially for boys, or lure them into church functions.

Nobody, not even for a second has insulted your God, but you yourself are for sure angry at anybody having a whack at exposing abuse based upon religious hidden agenda concerning the Catholic church. It's the 20th century.. time for men to stop wearing dresses in powers of so called position, isn't it?

Ummmm, actually it's the 21st century but that's ok continue...
