DGS1244

I had both of mine replaced in Bumrungrad Hospital, Bangkok. With no problems and a quickish recovery on both of them. Would recommend them any day. Surgeon was a Dr. Panya, very good.

Never had a problem with chopped roasted chicken and have been eating them for 30 years.

 

It is not random chopping and there are not bone fragments everywhere, get a grip on your imagination.

You  must be lucky then, I used to have my Chicken chopped and found many times bits of bone. Now buy it without chopping.

I think someone needs to explain to the officials how to protect from a lightning strike correctly and all about step potential.

Since when did Thailand have Mopeds? Scooters yes, 50 cc mopeds went out of use years ago.

What did Thailand expect. It purchases many things, like fish, iron, plastics, cheese, from Iran when them USA bans such transactions from there.

No different to normal, average of 43 deaths per day is the norm for Thailand.

Does not look like there were sprinklers as usual, and likely the smoke detectors would be only optical and not installed in the rooms.

Beauty Queen she isn't and the related article has nothing in common with her problem so why mention it.

If they stopped selling Paddy Fields to house builders then they would at least keep the amount of land available for growing it. Less land less rice.

Has to be more to it.  Tyres just don't explode and catch fire.

This looks exactly like one that occurred a few years ago???.  They went down due to Step Potential from the strike not direct hits.

I doubt the gas cylinder 'Ignited', I would suspect the fire started elsewhere from a leaking hose, lose valve connection or other means, then the heat of the fire made the cylinder explode. Cylinders do not just blow back, otherwise cigarette lighters would explode when you lit them.  Basic LPG knowledge.

 

I'm certain that your smug, pompous statements will make the injured parties feel much better. 

 

I am so relieved that we've cleared that up.  Or, and this is just a random thought, perhaps the original author isn't a native English speaker and the method used to translate the original words describing the event suggested the English word "ignite".  

 

(Incidentally, for someone with such a keen grasp of "basic knowledge", perhaps you should learn how to spell the word "loose", not randomly capitalize words like ignited in the middle of sentences, or construct run-on sentences.)

 

 

Don't disagree with you but from 1st hand experience it sounds like the LPG in the cylinder did a 'BLEVE' most likely from being exposed from an adjacent gas flame. Quite common here.

No such thing as an International Driving License, it is an International Driving Permit giving translations of you normal license. If you are in Thailand for more than 3 months then you have to have a Thai Driving License.

Monorails are a total waste of money, they fail and breakdown frequently in nearly every country that has  installed them. The only one that really works is in Japan.

These BBQ Buffets are popular here in Phuket and the ones I have been in have a sign some where about a charge for un eaten food, quite right as well, 

Over a 1000 baht seems expensive, 

Not when it is for 20 persons. 

The warning system has not worked for years and the systems etc. that were supposed to be put in place have never been completed. It is also almost impossible to protect against natural disasters 100% anyway.

Should have been legalised years ago instead of letting other countries like Cambodia make all the money from visiting Thais.

I doubt for one minute that the shooting had anything to do with the reduced tourist numbers. more likely that China if feeling the pinch from lower income and money is not so much available.

If she was blindfolded how did she see a gun??
