TAT must be soooo proud.

Human trafficing seems to be the new charge du jour.

Just as terrorist/terrorism and weapons of mass destruction were previously, and still are, to some extent.

I have known (not in the biblical sense) sex workers who were (well) under 18 and were doing so of their own free will.

Here's an innovative idea... resign and hold elections.

Agree, who cares. What they sell you is rarely what you get anyway, especially here in Thailand.

They will have an uphill battle, as there has been absolutely nothing free, fair or transparent so far.

Now what? It's not like there are not enough silly rules already.

Being a Jehovas Witness might be relevant if he refused blood transfusions in the hospital.

If that was the case, it would be much more relevant if they actually stated that. Don't you think? Of course, this being Thai journalism.....

Nice idea, but is it legal?

Never mind, I forgot, Mr. 'I make the rules' is in charge.

Where on Sukhumvit? I am on Asoke, just off Sukhumvit and have no real issues. True DOCSIS.

How is it possible to impeach someone who no longer holds office?

What am I missing here? Or is this just another case of Thainess?

A Jehovah's Witness? Here in Buddhist Thailand? Why is that relevent to his death? Was he here on a bible thumping 'mission'?

Disgusting. Stick to water. Just about everything produced by humans is an abomination, apart from beer and fish & chips.

Agree about the beer (provided it's imported or from a brewhaus), but some of the fish and chips I have had in Thailand are best forgotten.

Is anyone really surprised? We all knew all the recent hot air out of Prayut et al was just to appease the media and give lip service. There was never any intention to actually do anything substantial, such as arresting and prosecuting officials who are neck deep in this.

The USA should be ashamed of themselves. These 'ratings' reports they do are nothing more than political tools.

Now it will be back to business as usual.

Buying votes.

Hardly. This government came to power without a single vote being cast (or bought).

So, the 'ecotourism' operators put their short term profits over the long term stability of the park AND their businesses.

That is so mind-bogglingly stupid. As someone already said, Thainess at it's best.

Or, if you already have the videos downloaded, google Format Factory. It's free.

Well thanks for spoiling breakfast!

You have something against americans?

Wow, that will certainly teach him.

You really couldn't make this stuff up.

It sure took them long enough to see what was evident to everyone else from the start of this case. Of course, arresting him and seeing him serve jail time are two different things. I assume he is out on bail and WILL be a flight risk if there is even the slightest chance the charges might stick.

Oh good grief, what sort of stupidity is this? As someone already stated, just a propaganda project. Do they not have much more important things to be doing? Given the state of this country, that they actually held meetings and wasted time to come up with this idea is astonishing.

My guess would be Asus service.

I am quite sure that the UN understands Thailand all too well. It is the Thai governmment that does not understsnd what it is exactly that the UN understands.

Thanks for the comment above but I would appreciated if you were a bit more specific about the specs.

Well, I would start by reading those 2 links JohnnyJazz provided above.

Since you specifically mentioned you want it for gaming, I would go for the best (Intel) CPU you can afford and a mid to high end motherboard. Go with as good a graphics card as you can afford, preferably nVidia, and load up on system RAM. Definately get an SSD for the OS and programs, but add a hard disk for your games. Most high end games today are big and will eat up a lot of HD space.

I would also spend a lot of time browsing InvadeIT.co.th. They have all the components you need, plus provide links to the manufacturer so you can read the full specs on each item. I spent the better part of 6 months reading and researching before clicking the order button. My research paid off as I am very happy with my new computer.

Monitors: I went with a 4K monitor, you may not want or need that. I would however suggest at least full HD (1920x1080), and for gaming, as large as you can afford.

That was over a year ago now, many of the components I bought have been superceeded with newer items.

I hope that helps.

I built my own. Bought everything from Invadeit.co.th. Final cost for mine was close to 150K baht. Without the game chair and wheel about 100K baht. Didn't get the game chair at invadeit.

What did you get for that price ? When I check specialized website, it seems we can get powerful config (i7, GTX 980, 16GB, ... ) for much cheaper than that.

For the price he certainly got much more than the "powerful" but still very common configuration you imagined.

I guess his rig has at least dual GPU and is possibly watercooled, allowing for aggressive overclocking of both CPU and GPUs.

Maybe 4k display @ 100 FPS.

and this starts to really be expensive - a 3k display capable of 75 Hz already costs 50.000 baht.

Bingo on all counts, but 4K only at 60fps. Plus 32GB RAM and a 1500W power supply.
