Sanook reported that a brother murdered his younger sibling after he had been refused money by his mother and threatened to hurt her. 

 

The victim - named as Parinya, aged 22 - had been suffering from mental illness since 2014. 

It sounds as though both brothers are or were suffering from mental illness

Flood warning imminent ..!!

n response to complaints about TM30 from those in attendance at the event, Pol Col. Thatchapong Sarawannangkul said that filing a TM30 was “really not that hard”.

This is possibly because he does not have to comply with this requirement if he did I'm sure his response would be completely different.

It is a shame this money was not put towards improving safety standards prior to this calamity.. 

Hi-so Low-so explains it all, shame the sugar company could offer some kind of sweetener to the farmers....

  the event was planned to be held on Army property Huey Tung Dtou .. is part of their vast land holdings so I suppose they can cancel.

Even so the military should inform the government of their intentions and the government make such public announcements 

Ignorance of the law is no excuse..... LOL

Red & White is "No Parking" ?? 

Always thought is was "Reserved to taxi & bahtbus"... ,

at least in Pattaya.

It appears to be this way especially at the corner of beach road & walking street, it was stopped for a short while but like everything else not for long.

What the Thai government or police force does not understand is in Japan & European countries the penalties are penalties and are issued as a deterrent. the above penalties as broken down by many people above are a joke and will not be any sort of deterrent so a complete waste of time.

“I can’t believe that any rational person in Carrie Lam’s position would actually argue the case against a commission of inquiry,” he said.

 

“What’s clearly needed is a process of reconciliation. It’s the only way I think you’ll put a cap on this and get back to peace and stability in Hong Kong.”

And Carrie knows herself that the people don't want he so why keep banging her head against the wall, swallow your pride Carrie and go....

His about-turn on the ministry's policy was because the operators would have to import microbuses from other countries at high prices, he said, adding that this could backfire on Thai commuters as the operators would have to increase fares to compensate for the higher vehicle cost.

This is absolute BS, with the strength of the baht there will never be a better time to purchase from abroad so what is he talking about..? One of the main problems with the minibuses is the speed they are capable of travelling at which in turn results in most of the minibus drivers driving like lunatics on steroids, therefore a larger slower coach which should be governed down so the maximum top speed is within the maximum allowed for a vehicle of this type by law, and you would see a dramatic reduction in accidents involving buses of this type. 

Obviously does not take constructive criticism very well .......

There is a reason it is called undertaking....... Please can someone explain it to all public transport drivers..!!

The move comes as sources say that former "Phra Julian" will continue his work with the community as a layman. 

I thought he had just been busted for exactly this.....LOL

It would not be the first time people over in Africa had caused this type of explosion by stupid acts like smoking while live tapping of fuel lines.....

Let's hope he gets stranded onboard.....
