  6. Thanks for the link lv2play...this is the latest...

    BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) -- Thai police who have arrested two fishermen said they have confessed to raping and killing a British tourist, whose body was found a week ago, floating off a beach near the Koh Samui Island Resort.

    The men, in their 20s, told police on Monday they were drunk when they spotted 21-year-old Katherine Horton walking alone on a beach, talking on her cell phone.

    Police quoted the men as saying they beat the college student with a wooden club, raped her and threw her body in the sea.

    Police Maj. Gen. Aswin Khanmuang, the officer in charge of the case, said the men were brought to Bangkok for DNA tests.

    Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra insisted that Horton's killers be found, saying the publicity was damaging the country's image and tourism industry.

  7. On the next Thailand Today,

    An update on the Katherine Horton murder investigation and a review of what’s being done on Ko Samui to prevent another murder rape on the popular island paradise.

    Also, murder in the heart of Bangkok’s red light district…a crazed Thai girlfriend delivers countless deadly taser shocks to her drunken, hapless Dutch boyfriend.

    And a conversation with a successful Bangkok based Aussie exporter who achieved his dream of living in Thailand and making money while doing it.

  8. On the next Thailand Today,

    Meeting your Thai girlfriend’s parents, the first step to the big C or the M word. How soon is too soon for a first visit and when is never, too late?

    Thai police are under the glare of the cameras as the international media spotlight follows the investigation into the death of another British tourist.

    Thailand attracts millions of backpackers who travel cheap to save a buck or two and then they have poverty packers who think living large is spending two days a month running for the boarder.

    All that and an official call to lay prostrate before your husband…is it showing respect or servitude? On the next Thailand Today, each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5am, 1pm and 9pm, only on http://www.radiobangkok.net Hot in the city!

  10. Wow, I just wanted a few suggestions for myself and my listeners. I've read a fair number of books about Thailand. I will say when I have discussions, especially with poets, I can a little hot. But it is strange who that book thread developed.

  11. The following story appears in today's Nation. Thousands were given citizenship but on the list I didn't see any Euros, Americanos, Aussies, Kiwis, Canucks, Latins or Africans. Do we ever get Thai Citizenship? What does it take to get it? Any prejudice here? What's your take on this?

    IMMIGRANTS: Thousands given Thai nationality

    Published on January 03, 2006

    Approval of 13,827 citizenship requests is biggest in Thai history, Kongsak says; Highlanders form the largest group. Almost 14,000 migrants and their children were granted Thai nationality yesterday, the biggest such approval in history, Interior Minister ACM Kongsak Wantana said.

    Of the 13,827 approved, 4,272 were migrants to Thailand, while 9,555 were children who had been born here.

    The total comprised 2,279 Vietnamese, 3,175 Burmese, 6,363 highlanders, 704 Nepalese, 28 Tai Lue, 287 tribal people, 978 Chinese (ex-military Chinese from Yunnan, also known as Jeen Hor), and 13 from ex-Communist Malaysia.

    “This is the result of years of working. In some cases it took as long as three years to complete the inspection and confirmation process,” Kongsak said.

    “It is my policy to grant nationality as quickly as possible, as I consider it has a huge impact on people’s lives. Many children and young people face difficulties in their studies and work without Thai nationality, even though they were born in Thai territory.”

    Kongsak admitted that the approval process had in the past been very slow due to security issues, and previous ministers therefore being reluctant to issue approval.

    The proposals were checked at district level first before passing to the provincial level for a second check and then on to the national level in Bangkok, he said.

    “To qualify for citizenship, applicants have to show that they do not pose any risk to national security, could be of benefit to the Kingdom and paid taxes,” the interior minister said.

    “This is the highest number of approvals of the past seven ministers, and has taken five months of work under my administration.

    “I am pretty sure that all of them are qualified to be Thais. In the worst case, if a mistake has been made in the approval processes, we should be able to trace it.”

    However, the minister did not reveal how many people who had submitted requests were still waiting for their green cards.

  12. On the next Thailand Today,

    You make the money, she makes the decisions and you both suffer in the clash of cultures and genders. It’s one hot topic on Monday’s Thailand Today.

    First impressions for the first timer, what can you expect to see in Thailand that you won’t see anywhere else???

    And a brief survey of some of the more popular and important books in, on and about Thailand thanks to the members of ThaiVisa.com …

    All that and a New Year’s celebration round up from the Land of Smiles on the next Thailand Today, each Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5am, 1pm and 9pm only on http://www.radiobangkok.net Hot in the city!

  13. The holiday driving crackdown has begun but it remains socially acceptable to drive drunk in the land of smiles and impolite to try and talk a drunk out of getting behind the wheel.

    That is nearly word for word from today's Nation. Are you affiliated?

    It is and I should have credited them. I do on the radio show Thailand Today. The editorial serves as a launching pad for the discussion about Thai norms on drunk driving.

    My apologies. It was a very thoughtful piece and thoughtless not to mention it in the program promo.

    You can hear that segment on tomorrow's The Best of Thailand Today Radio Show. Sunday, 9am and 9pm on http://www.radiobangkok.net.

  14. I would love to find out your favorite book about Thailand, Thai culture, or maybe your favorite novel set in Thailand, or your favorite prison book or whatever. Books about Thailand. I've got five to post:
