So then next time an American washes up on shore are they going to have a headline "Cowboy hangs up his boots for the last time" what morons. Just goes to show you the lever of journalism the Thais have come to Typical third world mentality and lever of writing as well.

She can dream on but is entitled to nothing NOT LEGALLY MARRIED There is no palimony here in Thailand This is an invention of the UNITED STATES

In Thai society woman are not as important as men and as for a child. It has to do with the law. In western countries there is clear law about child support In Thailand there is little if non to force someone to pay. This is a sad affair but this is the way it is . More to do with laws or lack of laws. And a lot of Thia men ( sorry guys you know who you are) just dont care about their kids when they exit a marriage. Most just move onto the next woman get her pregnant and then do it again.

This is one of the reasons many Thai woman prefer Western Men .

This is a great problem in Thai society and needs to be addresses but I suspect because men run the country not much will be done

No. I have full control of my faculties.

That is the best of sarcasm i have heard in a long time. It could not go unnoticed without a comment

Who cares about ranking Just get on with your life and enjoy it

I half to chime in here. It was a tragedy that the farmers where not paid under the last government. This is the direct fault of the party who set up this ridiculous scheme in the beginning . Do what other countries do in the future. Just direct subsidies to farmers to grow or not grow rice Its that simple. If there is over production pay them not to produce. This is the most successful way of managing the situation. This will encorage farmers to produce other crops as well

Stop with these hair brained schemes of buying rice at inflated prices. This is rife with corruption . I am Farang and I take my hat off to the Coup Leader for doing the right thing and making sure the farmers all got paid

They are the backbone of Thailand and fill the stomachs of the nation We should all be proud of any farmer and the work they do. This one time I will say it HALE TO THE CHIEF you did a very good thing looking after the farmers and my gut tells me you will do many other great things for the country and the Thai people . This is your opportunity to go into the history books in a positive manner.

My guess is if you keep this up a door will open for you to run for Prime Minister in the Future. I wish you the best I believe your heart is in the right place

Good the the Current Regime cracked down on Taxt Drivers. Now take it a step futhre PLEASE crack down on the Taxi drivers that refuse to use meters at shopping and high traffic areas such as Paragon other similar venues. After the stores close there are literely hundreds of drivers trolling for non meters fairs

Illegal and totally unfair to Thais and Tourists This is corruption and corruption that people visiting Thailand see Not good for tourists or Thais. You may say its only a few hundred baht So when is any corruption Good Never

They have a license and a meter they should live by it

The Coup leaders need to get tough on the Taxi drives in commercial shopping areas. After the stories close and there are tons of people looking to get a taxi a huge about of drivers not only refuse to pick up some people but refuse to use the metre They tell people they have fixed rates of 100 pr 200 or 300 baht and no meter.

This is horrendous. Go to MBK or Paragon and try to get a metered taxi it is next to impossible but there are tons of taxis trolling for people. This is a true shame since so many tourists are taken advantage of and then to back to their native country with bad stories of Thai Taxis This is not an image I am sure the Thai people want

The Coup leaders are doing a good Job but they need to crack down on these rough drivers once and for all. This is for the Thai people and visitors as well Its that simple. Once solution would be creating a taxi stands in the area and not allow taxis to pick up people trolling, If they are caught trolling they are fined This would resolve the situation very fast.

These people are on the BOD they should get free passage on planes . Its like saying that the BOD of APPLE cannot give the board members free tablets or the head of burger king cannot have free burgers

Get real people the run the company

My condos open for the games Free Pretzels with BYOB

Yes but things have changed The Junta has taken over and started to reform everything Including immigration

I have been told now that anyone overstaying is thrown in Jail and must appear before a judge withing 36 hours. If you do not have a lawyer at the time they then hold you over for another 30 days in jail till you can find one. So far no one has been given bail

This is the reform that so many have been looking for

Now did i get the old pump working more. Bet I did but just pulling your leg Nothing has changed Just pay the overstay fee of 500 and go home

Obviously this is not deportation.... It is extradition.

Completely different.

This is a very dumb statement "Obviously this is not extradition it is deportation Get is strait BUB

The Thais don't want extradition in these cases Its too involved and involves the courts. This way they don't have to spend much money.

The have revoked their visa's and are deporting then back to their native countries. This way no court action.

Read what the story says not what your brain thinks

I have a Toyota VIos that is now 6 years Old aside from replacing a Battery and Belt It drives like a new car. I suspect with minor repairs over time It will last at least another 10 or 15 years.

Next Year get new tires

Cars in general will last 10 or more years. The car industry understands this. This is why banks will lend against a car for a period of up to 7 years

Next time you have to show immigration the money for your retirement Visa do it 2 months before you need it That way you wont have to rush around on a stolen bike

If they cannot tax it they want to ban it That is the standard governments go by. Legalize casinos in Thailand and watch the revenues come rolling in . If you dont want Thais to gamble then open in Tourist areas and ban locals from going in to gamble.

So now what is the excuse. They will say it keeps away the dragon with 20 heads or something like that

I don't think drugs . If you where in this heat all day what would you do Case Closed

Its because of the air cons and a computer if you are running one . Sure that is what you should pay I will bet the ones you asked about running an air con do sporadically and not every night

If you want to save money Turn of the air Simple

Nike looking but now way a contender for Miss Universe too frumpy

This is the mentality of Suthip. Shoot below the knees Any moron knows if you shoot at someone regardless of where you want to bullets to go they are going to shoot back. Daaaaaa

I don't blame the solders for shooting I blame Suthip for giving the orders knowing it would escalate the conflict . Just lock him up its that simple

This is so funny and they are not dealing with the true problems with driving here. What I find incredible is there is no test for the eyes per sae . What I mean is if you do or do not need to wear glasses when driving

No test for that just color, depth and color peripheral vision No test for how well you can see without glasses. I would assume if they tested for this accidents in the kingdom would drop.

How the hell can you drive if you need glasses but don t wear them. This is just plain stupidity nothing else.

Get rid of the peripheral vision test and test for true vision .And I know someone will argue well there are Thais that cannot read. Ok I accept that Set up a method for them to have eye tests as well with common symbols . And force Thais to use child restraint seats. This will reduce injuries it it is done.

This message is for the Minister of Transportation here in Thailand . If anyone can translate this and forward it on to this minister maybe they will understand it better

Don't sweat it . I have been in a condo looking over the Chopai River without a lease for 2 years. Never hear from the landlord. Just make a deposit to her bank every month She is happy I am happy

I bought an table top oven IT had a warranty of 1 year It expired in 10 moths and the company that makes it here did not have any spare parts. I am going to sent it back to the mfg with all the dirt in it with a nasty letter and tell them to shove it where the sun does not shine

Terrible Thai Company

If you want to stay for a prolonged period of time then an Ed VIsa is the way to go. Just sign up at any school for Thai lessens that offer an Ed Visa and they will give you proper paper word to get an Ed visa

Then you have the ability to stay for up to 3 years and more
