"Enjoy your holiday in Phuket. Leave us to worry about Ebola prevention,”
Wheeew! What a relief!
Party on boys
until....

Am I alone when I say that it feels like Thailand is moving backwards with accelerating speed over the past 5 years?
I'm not a Thaksin lover, but my impression is that Thailand was at its peak just before he got booted...
RIP to the victim and sincerest condolences to family and friends.

Truly admire that little girl for putting up such a brave fight. She'll make it in life, not matter what.
As for the parents... I hope they will receive the punishment they deserve. What cowardly lowlifes! I am lost for words...

When I see the first of those jet ski <deleted> being led away in shackles at gun point, I'll believe it. Until then... yeah...

If kids get too naughty, dad has to put down his food - this is what happened. Sometimes a strong hand is required to lead. And I personally favor this over a paper democracy and childs' play (like we had in the past years). I don't see uncertainty or a crossroads - quite the contrary; the boat is getting back on course ! I just hope that the world police will not (at some point) decide that Thailand needs to be "liberated"...

Very clever to leave the license plate in place... what a moron !

Surprise, surprise!

Democracy died along with JFK long time ago... worldwide! Anyone who believes that the "privilege" of being able to choose between cancer and black death every four years means that he's living in a democracy is a blind and deaf fool !
Thailand of today is as far away from democracy as a sand grain in the desert to Antarctica and a thousand news editorials won't change that !

Overestimating Thailand's (damaged) natural resources while underestimating the average westerner's capability to actually use the brain = perfect mix for disaster !

It wasn't me...

If one enters potentially dangerous areas, one should be prepared, more cautious and sensitive... Bet to 50% it's his own fault as he most likely insulted the LB with f words and worse. Being manhandled by a "lady" surely is a new experience for him, the great invincible American man - great! What a whimp!!!

And I thought raising rabbits was a good idea. Looks like I have to build a bigger (and perhaps air-conditioned) shed

Each and everyone who is cooking up these crap drugs should be shot point blank, execution style, on the spot without a trial - worldwide. Full stop!

Whereas this is a noble gesture, I think this works only in combination with educational TV spots targeting parents and kids alike - best right in the midst of those (was tempted to put "brainless" in here, but didn't) Thai soaps. I very much doubt that many will take the effort to read the poster... Great to see however that at least there is an attempt on doing something about kidnapping and slave labour... A first step... good!

I thank the lord on my knees that I was allowed to indulge in and enjoy the real good times here in LOS ten, twenty years ago, before immoral people applied moral laws and regulations. If it all goes on like this, Thailand will turn from the fun place it was many years ago into a dull copy of Singapore where there are more laws, fines and regulations than people...
Thai people are starting to really be p!$$ed off now, and I am not talking about the same state of being p!$$ed off when neo fascist Suthep did his 6 months of senseless ranting and babbling on stage in Bkk, causing business owners huge losses. By now they are furious and many left without proper options, especially after the beach cleanup where vendors are pushed into oblivion without feasible alternatives. I see big tensions coming and I fear Thailand by now is farther way from the dream of democracy than it ever was. And it is farther away from being a fun place than it ever was - to me Thailand has lost its luster and I know many expats (not the ones frequenting the bars starting at 09:00am, I mean hard working people who pump a lot of money into the Thai economy) who agree with me in this. No good times folks, no good times...

...aaaand beside of taxes, extra charge, service charge, seat wobblization prevention service charge, hand luggage allowance supercharge, showing you to your seat service charge, "oh, just leave your shoes on, no plomplem" charge, three farts into the seat for free tax, allowed to keep the eyes open during flight charge, 1 paid toilet use get one free charge, sour neck travel insurance charge (mandatory), sandwich and beverage charge, VAT and all, the WiFi service will add another 12.95 USD to your bill, eventually making Air Asia flights more expensive than a first class ticket with Thai Airways, right?
Written by someone who made the mistake of falling for the cheap initial flight price on the Air Asia booking website to later end up with a price similar to much better ones and walking to and from gate K 856 for several kilomters to the luggage belt...

Hhhmmm... looks like they forgot that the typical Thai mother has to make fast cash to feed the children they were left behind with (to then leave them with granny or auntie) by an even more responsible Thai father...
And just imagine all those sympathetic Mama Sans running out of gambling money - a nightmare!
-
What beach? Oh yeah - the one where you have to enter through a little stinky soi, because everything else is blocked by concrete bunkers. Can;t believe anyone would opt to live in that $#!thole in the first place, letting alone doing business...

Quick and thorough recovery to the little girl. Brain cancer to the ones responsible.
Since the little girl is just a nobody and not daughter of a high ranking officer or even more elitaire circles, nothing will change and nobody's head will roll over this. Thailaaaaeeeennn...

Large water park to open in Phuket next year
in Phuket News
Posted · Edited by catweazle
My two boys and I are already excited and will definitely go there a lot, especially if the prices are a bit more "manageable" for expat families than what the Spash Jungle charges. Perhaps there could be special price packages for expats, especially Thai/foreign families with kids, etc...
A proper water park is not an eyesore for the young at heart - quite the contrary!!!
To the old farts who can't hack it anymore, letting alone enjoying a proper water slide, because they need to argue and complain about everyone and everything, I say this: There always is the option of suicide, you know?! Please do yourself and us that favor!
To the investors: Thanks a lot for building this for us all to enjoy! You're making a huge investment and are taking a big risk here to make some money of course, but also to make other people happy. I (and my boys) very much appreciate that and we wish you the best of success!
