  1. "This is the ship that changed the course of human history," Clifford said.

    Without doubt, the world would have been totally different if Columbus hadn't discovered the part of the world that now wants to control the whole world.

    UH, that was England before it got too puny to do anything at all. England was the King of Colonizers and World Controllers.

    The first damn thing England did to the new colonies established after Columbus was to send the British Army and take control and make America its colony, and start putting heavy taxes for the King on imports. Remember the Boston Tea Party?

    The Americans had their own guns and went after that king's army, and with the help of France ran him off.

    Britain went home with its tail between its legs and hasn't amounted to a shit since. All it can do is sit and whine.

    Actually they controlled pretty much the entire planet including India, China, Africa, Australia and the middle east and north america. I doubt they lost sleep over loosing the thirteen colonies?

  2. Thailand is about to be downgraded by Amnesty international to the same level as Myanmar and north Korea for its human trafficking record and lack of interest in stopping the problem due to involvement of Thai immigration officials and the possibly the Navy in selling Rohingya into slavery. Its an embarrasment for Thailand but going after the messenger of the story instead of the goverment officials who committed these crimes confirms Thailand to be on the same level with Noth Korea. But then again thats how they do it in the USA as well as in war crimes reported by bradley manning who now rots in jail and domestic invasion of privacy reported by ed snowden who is trapped in Russia. What does it take to get a government thats answerable to the people?

    Whos function it is to serve the people?

  3. If it takes a civil war for the majority of the population to retain their civil rights then so be it.

    Having been in a country where there was a military takeover (where I lost relatives) and having lost civilian relatives in a civil war in another SE Asian country I must admit that I am not keen to lose anymore relatives. In both of these SE Asian countries civil rights have not been restored to the level that currently exist in Thailand. So please excuse me for not sharing your enthusiasm.
    I dont think anyone is enthusiastic about a war including the red shirts but what do you expect them to do when their rights are taken away by the elites? Should they try to arrange talks? Should they meekly go home and accept being enslaved again. Accept abysmal wages again? Accept no health insurance again?

    This is what is coming sooner than later the elites will take away all the hard earned little progress that has been made in the past ten years. Suthep has declared war to wipe out the fledgling democracy of Thailand before it has a chance to grow strong and Jatuporn vows to defend it.

    I hate to say it but the color of destiny is red.

  4. Looks like visa on arrival could soon be history.

    People have to get a visa which makes more money for the bent officials.

    Does anyone know how much a visa is these days?

    People such as oil and gas guys wont want to waste their valuable time off travelling to an embassy in another country then waiting for a visa just so they can have their month off. These blokes will be lost to other countries such as Cambodia and The PI who still have sane and workable visa policies. Their departure will be a enormous financial blow to Phuket.

    wont be back to back will it ...as there will be a 2 week or one month break when they are working so if they are 2 week on 2 week off there is no continuence

    Impossible to say at this stage, who knows what ludicrous requirements will be imposed in August on the fly out fly in visa exemptions.
    I can almost guarantee it will not be enforced at airports that would reduce tourist numbers in half and what will they do with thousands of non visa arrivals? Lock them up? It wont happen!

    What they should do however is offer a two month visa on arrival that would solve that problem.

    No arrival without visa would put Thailand into the same group as India China Vietnam not likely.

  5. I hate to say it but he brought this upon himself since he did not perform his duty as an impartial and honest judge but simply rubberstamped a predetermined judgement made by his yellow paymasters thus plunging the credibility of the Thai judiciary to an all time low which is now being seriously ridiculed by international media.

    Everybody who is saying this the work of typical red shirt scum should remember that there have been acts of violence on both sides and everybody knows there is a violent fringe on both sides.

    This is to be expected...Duh?

  6. What final clash?

    The final battle was already over yesterday, and SUTHEP won.

    Yingluck loose face and already packing (for Dubai I guess).

    She did not loose face at all in fact she looks even better as an honest and beautiful woman in contrast to the bald headed old farts who comprise a court that is now the laughing stock of the international community.

    She has not yet been banned from politics and unless she is found guilty which she will be of course over the rice pledge scheme she can come back and win another election as soon as July unless it does not take place which of course it won't. Either way she will not be going to Dubai as she has commited no crimes.

  7. I was in intensive care on life support.

    [snip]

    My wife went to khon kaen immigration unhelp yes. fined us 20,000 baht for 35 days overstay. Gave us 30 extention.

    /editorial comment/

    It's unbelievable that there isn't some sort of hardship exception to the overstay fine in extreme situations like this. Profiting from a near-death incident like this is ghoulish.

    Yes but they cap it at 20,000 so its not so terrible is it?

    You love to hate Thailand dont you?

    But its really a fair deal after all is it not?

  8. <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script>

    Hi very sorry to hear you had such a bad accident. Do you mind telling us what happened?

    I can lay on my back and have a retirement extension done by a lawyer why not you?

    It costs about 6,000 to 10,000 in Chiangmai.

    They take care of all the details.

    There is no need for the OP to involve himself with doubtful "lawyer" scams which cost a substantial amount more than the 1900 Bht required for an extension.

    Its not a scam. They do a legal service for a fair price that would save someone in his condition allot of running around. Have you never heard of immigration lawyers? Thats what they do and its legal.

    All he will get on this forum are confusing and conflicting answers but an immigration lawyer will take care of everything including the letter from the hospital.

    If he can afford to live in a hospital for 7 months he obviously can afford the lawyers fee.

  9. I am in exactly the same boat. Not only did my lawyer take my money and do nothing, she is now representing my ex husband. Try the guys who give free advise here. Siam legal. They seem to know what they are doing. Good luck with it. You are really going to need it.

    I agree it makes sence that Siam legal is getting alot of advertising from this webste and they would not want get their reputation ruined on this forum plus they seem to be super professional in their advertising.
  10. I wondering Ahbisit and Yingluck goes ahead with the new election. Suthep is still firm on his objective.

    What if turn out is a shocking result at the voting date that majority either no turn up or vote 'no-vote'.

    So how is the political crisis by then?

    Looks like Abhisit and Yingluck will carry the torch of democracy and compromise and Suthep will be committed to a mental institution.
