bangkaew

yes probably stay with friends for the month and then join us. They can not take him as filipino and very transient!

we did actually intend taking him, hence the chip, but we had wrong information and we don't have the import license we need and we leave tomorrow. Plus we have a 4 month baby and I am in a wheelchair with motor neuron disease. Plus we are staying at in laws with dogs outside so he will not like that!

meatboy, you clearly have a lot of time on your hands. Maybe you should take him?

We are going to the Philippines this month and I think taking my 5 year old Bangkaew would be too stressfull for him.

i am therefore looking to find him a good home. He is a 5 year old neutred dog, microchipped and fully vaccinated including rabies and flea and ticks.

he has lived in an apartment all his life but sleeps on the balcony so can live anywhere. He loves people and is not dog aggressive. Normally ignores other dogs.

pm me if you are interested thanks.

apparently 400 people died because they locked the door to prevent looting.

Where does this gem of information come from ???????????

Some reputable links please

If there were that many people missing, in fact if there was only one their relatives would be there kicking and screaming to locate the body(ies)

Drove past there this morning and there was nil sign of any protests

that is the word on the street. Most were burmese.

Please stop spreading baseless rumours.

ask any thai in phuket and they will tell you the same but you believe what you want

what she is really saying is she wants more druggy clubs. The farang in bangkok are mostly older than that scene i reckon.

Amusing how they always state the reason for this crackdown is because these "gangs" are making profit that Thais should get, Khun Xenophobe, reality is that the biggest mafia gangs on Phuket are the local Taxi & Tuk Tuk operators (gangs). Distracting everyone with this attack on foreigners and their businesses only highlights the governments lack of will to take on the Taxi and Tuk Tuk thugs of Phuket. If they ever strap on a pair and go after them they should add to the list, the BIke Rentals and Jet Ski Rentals gangs and their scams. If they are not tarnishing the image of Thailand then nothing is...

I suppose you think Phuket should let the likes of Thomas Cook run everything. If you want England in the sun go to Australia. Thailand is popular because it employs nationalism. The Philippines is the globalization model.

Hitler was indeed afraid of the march of Bolshevism and unfortunately, apart from Lenin, the Bolshevik leaders were Jewish.

currency war, trade war and then military war. That is the pattern. War is usually about money whether it be empire building or securing resources. So poverty was the catalyst Hitler needed. Jews are very competent people in general so they were an easy target.

beg to differ. Central banks were still private then. So it was private banks that Germany owed.

Beg to differ again. It was the states that Germany had to pay. And a lot of the repayments were made in goods rather than cash (ironically, a lot of the cash payments were made by way of loans from New York banks). The whole argument that the reparations lay at the root of WWII have long been debunked my most historians. Interestingly, the last payment was made only 3 years ago.

Well the states still has a private central bank. I have no idea whether the NY banks were Jewish owned but the point is that Hitler thought so and wrongfully blamed the every day jews of Germany. I don't believe that the reparations were not a factor.

Again, why is what Hitler did more important than what dozens of other genocidal dictators did?

Hitler did what all leaders do, kill innocent nobodies instead of the enemy's leaders. Hitler saw Germany's enemy the international bankers that were crippling Germany with repayments after WW1. Unfortunately most of the bankers were Jewish.

Because a) Hitler was the FIRST, if not the ONLY dictator, who planed and executed the (almost) industrial killings of a racial/ religious fraction of "his own" populace from gays to jews and b ) on the side, started a World War! You comprehend the implication of the word "World" in "World War", don't you?!

Certainly not the first nor last. happened in Africa recently.

France was the main force behind the reparations payments being enforced. Nothing to do with religion or banks. It was revenge and a desire to keep Germany weak that drove this aspect of the Versailles treaty, not banking, not religion.

Bankers, was it?

Do you see a lot of bankers in this crowd?

that was exactly my point. The people killed, the people always killed have done nothing to deserve it. Hitler was evil in blaming ordinary jews for the actions of the international bankers, who happened to be Jewish. It is similar today with Islamaphobia with ordinary Muslims blamed for al qaeda.

Stop bringing your western values to Thailand... they don't work here.

Hitler is just a historical figure, no worse than Chairman Mao.. so get over it.

Nothing to do with values; all to do with ignorance and hubris

And trust me....when western universities with links to chula put up a stink western values and western money WILL work here

Note to Thailand Tourism: send out a directive telling all Thai students and teachers that they are causing loss of face to Thailand which, from other reading can cause them to be taken to court. Additionally, they cause loss of Thailand earning income from tourists who are aware of the negative history of Hitler, the Nazi movement and the genocide.

Let this be a lesson to the world, about the true mentality and the lack of respect many Thais have for foreigners, countries and cultures. However, this is an excellent opportunity for business investment as one can see, simple minds can easily be manipulated.

Agreed. In Thailand, we foreigners are expected to respect things that are sensitive to Thais....such as the Monarchy, Temples, dress codes and behavior. When it comes to marriage, we dump tons of money on the family of the bride for the honor. In return we should expect similar courtesies/respect for issues that are sensitive to us. Hitler was a dog, no doubt about that. Nothing was ever funny or fashionable about his sadistic methods. As for Che, although an enemy to capitalism, he had a certain aura to him that might seem fashionable to some people (not to me!) But please stop with the Hitler/Nazi Fad.

nonsense. No one in the West would care about offending thais.

John Lennon wanted to put Hitler in the Sgt. Pepper cover.

So what. Some people in the west wear t-shirts with chairman mao and he killed far more. There would be no fuss if it was Stalin and he again killed far more.

the force game is on setanta but I can't see it listed on Astro, unless it's on an unlisted channel like some of the 6 nations?

it is on setanta so I assume Astro will

is it on Astro?

thanks. i meant the pirate Astro which you get via satellite dish, box and internet connection... could not find the rugby.

does anyone have Astro on an internet connection? The channels are all over the place and therefore difficult to know where 810 is, if it is there at all. Did anyone find it?
