but it was not speculated as to when the results would be disclosed, according to a senior aviation official.......... "IF AT ALL"

foreigners come here looking for designer goods. Real ones or the knock offs on Silom Road?

All luggage retrieved after the accident could be picked up from yesterday morning.

Sure, you paying for the taxi ride, both ways? Nah, don't think so...

and just yesterday, there was an article stating all luggage would be delivered. Guess they changed their minds.

At least the pilots didn't flee the scene.

Are you sure of that?

I guess she is trying to get to as many countries as she can while being PM before being thrown out of office

That's why we Farangs are leaving Thailand in our droves, aren't we ?

Actually, many are and more middle eastern, Russian and Germans are moving in.

Around 40% of the taxis on the roads at any moment are running without passengers, Mr. Chatchart said.

Well, perhaps the taxi drivers should stop refusing to pick up fares or stop asking for a 200 Baht 'no meter' flat rate fare. Despite the recent 'laws' prohibiting these practices, these problems are still rife in and around central Bangkok.

You too the words right out of my mouth. Went through 8 taxis last Friday night. Finally one that recognized me from a previous fare stopped and picked me up. The laws regarding taxis in this country are a JOKE!

Prices of many items have a lot to do with the global economy, out of the influence of Thai governments. Raising the minimum wage was an election promise of both sides and to my opinion quite a good idea as there hadn't been any substantial raise in a very long time and it's struggling at 5000 Baht a month.

Thailand's problem is in productivity and efficiency. It keeps amazing me to see 8 staff in a 7Eleven spending more time with each other than on customers, TOT that sends 6 people to install a simple telephone line spread over 3 visits, the army of people in banks that fiddle around with paper and stamps ignoring huge ques, and I can go on and on about this.

Why with the high wages is it possible to get a kilo of pork or beef in the shop at better quality and lower prices in western Europe than here in Thailand?

If Thailand would learn to use less people to do the same job the wages could be raised even more, tackling another problem of inequality here as most of the money that is made ends up in very few pockets. The latter will be the most difficult problem as it's them who pull the strings in the system.

Have 10 people working in 7-11 is the government's way of keeping the unemployment rate down.

Sure! just transfer him instead of making him change his ways or actually be held accountable for the actions under his watch!

Hopefully this student and his friends will be the positive catalyst for change.

Let's hope his ideas and thoughts are taken seriously and allowed to mature.

Me too but I am sure there is a distinct possibility the boy will disappear and never be heard of again.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The PTP doesn't even bother to conceal their in-your-face corruption.

In the US, Romney in 2012 tried the same tactic and lost, but not by much. Just simply lying can get you into power all over the Earth.

Are you referring to Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, who initiated state-wide healthcare for all citizens and is single-handedly responsible for saving the totally corrupt Salt Lake City Olympics? You can stop kissing Obama's ass now as he has already won a second term after doing nothing to help the US economy or get people back to work. BTW you are completely off topic as well as lying about an honorable man.

Yes it is off-topic but me thinks you referring to R as an honorable man is definitely off the rocker!

Who on earth could possibly eat 200K worth of food per day.

It probably includes a massive tip to each of the cabinet members who eat the lunches

$$$$$$$$$$$ TALKS!

Questions asked and the cost of the clocks magically drop by B30,000 each, I presume the appropriate receipts and paperwork has been mislaid.

Another example of Thainess, the US Congress has them so we want them too.

And just another waste of my buy MY US government!

The Dems dont get it, without reforming themselves they will not win an election for many years to come. AV is a gentleman but unfortunately find it difficult to connect to the poor and uneducated. Without their vote the Dems cant win.

The only way the poor and uneducated vote is because they are paid and made promises!

Nothing more than "SAVING FACE" because it went global. They will be slapped on the wrist and put back on the streets to continue bringing down the face of this country!

How stupid can you get.

Space the bleeding desks out, <deleted>

I agree but by looking at that room, it is over packed with students (which is an every day occurrence in schools here), there is no way to spread them out any more.

I never cease to be amused by the way the police take the "culprit" to show them how they killed someone in order to reconstruct the crime. But, I guess it is much cheaper than a CSI unit doing the reconstruction! The alleged shooter I guess does not realize that he is pleading guilty by doing this.

Since when do foreigners not pay their bills (I am sure there are some) but people I know have not been allowed to leave the hospital until the bill is paid. I am think just another plot to get money out of foreigners!

Police said the three musicians were arrested at the scene and confessed to stabbing the Americans.

And will be told, NO DON'T DO THAT AGAIN! GO MAKE GOOD AT THE TEMPLE AND YOU CAN GO FREE! I am really thinking strongly of leaving this county and find somewhere that is not quite so insane!

EVERYTHING is about BEAUTY in this country. I guess ugly smart women don't matter. Is YingYing going to be a mentor? I am sure she thinks she is beautiful and smart!

It just shows the ignorance of world history that Thais know. There is no world history taught in this country and that is why they are so isolated and not ready for ASEAN. If kills me to see this going on in this country with so many good people but once again, they have no clue. Even the government has no clue and will not step in to curb this idiotic new fad!

What in heck is THAINESS? Stupidity? Lying? Saving Face? Mai Leu? Ripping people off? What am I missing here?
