they won't buy next time........... when they can start makin' their own toys...........

PTT EP...........is partly owned by TIT...

Howeveeeeeeeeeeeer, the people here still pay more than it should be....

as the retail' price ,index is based on Singapore market.........................

I can not believe that they were so young only 23 and 25 years. How us to avoid the similar situation? What we have to do before to take a shower?

Age has nothing to do with it,if they were 50 would it be acceptable.

RIP,very sad

he means these swedes died too soon...........

The Thai's English will always be poor....dude

The Big question is "Will there be a Fair Autopsy and will the facts come out?" This is surely what the Swedish authorities and the families of the victims need to be sure of.

If I was either of those I would want an independent autopsy and is the hotel a crime scene now?

This is Thailand .

Ask Singapore.............to do the autopsy....then....

if he doesn't trust the Swede....

and Sweden is far...too..

So he can't deny it..... That's what I really think...the solution.

A few months ago I found that my shower would only run cold. The shower is around on year old and it's a good brand name. I decided to try to get it fixed by a local electrician (That came highly recommended by the locals) and the picture shows the result.

He worked on the shower and got it running hot, so I paid him and off he went. I was watching the TV and all of a sudden the room very quickly filled with black acrid smoke. I ran and turned off the power at the mains switch.

My wife was gardening at the time and it was her intention to test the shower when she had finished. Thank god it set on fire or things could have been much worse. Hire a Thai electrician at your peril.

it looks scary ...

find a good one and stick with him.... next time...

you were just out of luck...

make no peril..

sounds good....

another......... hub

those 4 are clear ....

make it possible then.

The hotel was actually a Bungalow style hotel.

Here is the link to the story from the Swedish Newspaper with quotes from the owner of the hotel.

"just another coincidence again"? Downton...

cheers .........

It's in Scan... but Googie might help......

I forgot to add: In the article the hotel-owner says he doesn't want the bodies flown to Sweden as then 'the truth of what they died of will never be known' [insinuating that Swedish authorities would fake the autopsy etc to blame him].

Humm.. interesting but

Please can you add the link here?

I would like to read the original..thankz

We will read of these incidents again and again. It is about time that someone in power engaged their brain and started enforcing the laws, such as vehicle checks, driver checks, company checks and if they don't have Tachometers in the cabs, fit them. RIP the dead. Yet again.

Begging your pardon, but WHO exactly do you expect to enforce the laws in Thailand??? :jap:

Someone who can engage their brain. Oops sorry I forgot.

I was watching this on the news last night. One of the trucks that was on it's roof, was running on slicks? Tyres absolutely bald.

This reflects the road safety condition in LOS. The improvement is needed on many segments.

Can you name the hotel?

Poor management.....

They should have made the ground (earth) system......

I need a good inspection for my shower too.............

I was really hoping to find out what hotel too. It would seem more than fair and actually appropriate to name them.

Nisa ...........

Or we can just assume the whole area is crap... and don't go there.

i have seen many cases similar to this with the locals too.

They died in a shower where the installation is bloody poor....

This isn't the 1st and won't be the last ......

...

I remember reading somewhere that the tracks and catenary were contracted out to some Chinese outfit whose name escapes me, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, my bet is on whoever built the catenary.

(back to lurking)

Siemens was part of the consortium that built the Airport Link. The were

responsible for design and installation that included the catenary. If they subcontracted that to a chinese company, it does not relieve them of the responsibility for it to be installed correctly.

Consortium of B. Grimm / Siemens / Sino Thai wins orders for airport link in Bangkok – Project worth about 518 million euro

Erlangen, Jan 20, 2005

Siemens' Transportation Systems division together with consortium partners B. Grimm and Sino Thai Engineering and Construction Plc. (STECON) today signed a 518 million euro contract with State Railway of Thailand for the construction of the 28 km Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link and the City Air Terminal.

Under the terms of the contract, the consortium leader B. Grimm International Ltd. and B. Grimm MBM Hong Kong Ltd. will be responsible for the entire project management while STECON will be responsible for the civil infrastructure. Siemens and B. Grimm take responsibility for the design, supply, installation and project management of the whole electrical and mechanical system including trackwork, rolling stock, signaling system, power supply, communication systems, automatic fare collection, tunnel equipment, depot and workshop equipment, check-in facilities as well as baggage handling system. The contract value for Siemens part is approx. 11.1 billion Baht.

Siemens was a major player in the Nazification of Germany,they built the gas chambers back for the Nazi regime and used slave labor to manufacture electrical switches.

Seems natural they would do well in Thailand.

katasyd dude, you are very funny, in another thread you bragged that you drove a Mercedes all over Europe, as if you didn't know Daimler-Benz, committed crimes in WWII. The firm avidly supported Nazism and in return received arms contracts and tax breaks that enabled it to become one of the world's leading industrial concerns. During the war the company used thousands of slaves and forced laborers, there was a report that Daimler-Benz built mobile poison gas vans.

It shows that you are not any better than everybody else after all.:jap:

But where did i say i didn't support Nazification of Germany in the first place?

I don't consider renting a 112 pound a day car something to brag about and the post you are referring to was regarding driving overseas on a Thai drivers license.

Get a life.

Can you name the hotel?

Poor management.....

They should have made the ground (earth) system......

I need a good inspection for my shower too.............

Yep..........

not all Thai girls/women/boys......... can be trusted. ................

by joinin' none-profit organizations or formin' one if you can....

To help the Thai... out............

It would be nice to find the report in total.

On page 5: WORLD

On page 12: EUROPE

On page 14: ASIA (with the remark that Singapore is NOT on the list in Asia; maybe the Cambridge University wasn't interested since English proficiency in S'pore is perfect of course)

On page 16: LATIN AMERICA

Singapore is a bit too small then ...they missed it on the map...

Some countries aren't on the list.....

Typical the driver jumps out and runs away, probably loaded on Bah Yah

Amfetamine is commonly used among these HVC drivers.... I believe the percentage is high.. though.....

Another sad one..

'This is a good warning against stopping to look at accidents,' Samut Sakorn Police Lieutenant Colonel Chaiyaphat Charoenwai said.'

Is he for real saying this....? I in fact piss off this guy for saying .....

2 more people died...

So together 9 got killed ..... Humm...

hum...............it depicts that Pattayai is not safe.

Even there was somebody who could describe the whole story.from the beginning to the end........

There are lots of bad cookies...

I also posted a reference to April Fool's Day around 7.45 this morning, and I now see that it's disappeared. Maybe the Mods can post a "top ten" of who rumbled this one this morning?

Over 600 posts already. I would say it has been a very successful April Fool's joke.

Been translated into several languages and has been repeated on sites all around the world.

Holy.......................sh*T.................

So what age Thai woman can you marry if you're over 50?

For you eeeeer 51.

Apparently her Grand is benefiting.....

look what you guys have done....

The web server is acting up.... cos of overloaded in the capacity....hahaha

amused....

I think it is an obvious April fool joke. Why should Thailand go in the footsteps of Cambodia ?

The bottom line is Thai considered Cambodia as uncivilized .... There's no way the Thai will tail it...... ....

I don't think so

Yep, you are right ... Cowboy

it's nothing to do with LOS... but since commuting from Cambodia to Thailand is as easy as goin' up north to

Chiangmai or Chiangrai....though............

Acceptable..... to be in this section.....

angry mob of isaan girl burning government building .....

a wanna-be Isaan clan..... here................. will support 'em... come on now

regardless of the fools day....

optimistically, the law saves pedophile Farangs from wife scam.. though...
