I see the Obama- haters are out in full force again!

That's what I call a watch-dog: watch, what is going on, from a safe distance!

It's a dogs life...

Already uploaded this in "Life is a beach"...but I just love it so much!

...and later pretended, nothing happened!

This one tried to steal my phone...

Wow!

Okay...it is pretty early and I try to get my thoughts in order on this...

A cop tells an emergency crew to move an obviously immobile crash victim and the ambulance car for 100 meters , in order to ease a traffic situation that occurs on almost every road in Bangkok every single day of the year.

Did I get that right?!

And because of that delay, the crash victim died?

This policeman should not only be taken off the job immediately, he should be punished.

This is almost as if he is actively being involved in killing that guy.

I am not a native english- speaker...but that is almost man- slaughter!

What an @$$hole!

Unbelievable!

Well - there is no evidence that the crach victim died because of the actions of the policeman.

It sure didn't hrlp!

A cancer that erodes morality and wellbeing

...yet about half of the population thinks it is "okay", if they themselves benefit from it!

Why the long face?

Now i get that "horse walks into a bar and the bartenders says:........... joke"

NOW you get it???

No wonder there are so many "beer'- pics coming from you....

Good luck to him!

We are sure about 2 things, though:

1) he will not win!

2) as sun as the sun is going to rise tomorrow, the TV- community is out to tell him what an idiot he is...som nam na....he should never have...blah blah. As usually: google "empathy"!

with 60% burn, she will never look the same again...

now, how are the kids going to grow up knowing that the father put their mother in fire alive? what society is this? must be animal...

Stop saying such ridiculous things. These kinds of things happen all over the world. They do not happen in your own country? The things that happen in the US are worse than this. What about India. Of course, this is a heinous act, and hopefully this pig will end up in prison, and will become the "girlfriend" or some smelly, fat prisoner. But, to say this is a thai thing is small minded, and just plain silly, and very rude to your hosts.

Maybe I am not as enlightened as you are...but where is the previous poster actually claiming all the things that you accuse him off?

And by the way: it is a thing that happened in Thailand, concerning 2 Thai- people and discussed on Thai Visa.

Why is there always this urge to say :"Oh yeah...but it happens in Burkina Faso, too!"

Who gives a sh1t, where on this world things are also happening!?

Go onto the World News -section and comment on anything there "Oh yeah...but it also happens in Thailand..."???

....yeah....right!

The future of Thailand !

Man its all over the world in case you don't know ! So better say the futur of the world

All over the world, there are gangs from Pathumthani fighting each other?

Strange, I thought it was Thailand and that is what we are talking about on THAIvisa?!

...that being said: there has to be a "humane" solution for this...and fast!

So?

What now, Thailand?

Back on the boat...push them out?

How about your home country? Willing to take them? I didn't think so.

See...that may be the point.

Thailand is part of the world community...yeeeees, even as the center of the universe, you are!

So they are here and I guess (I am not sure) Thailand has signed to refugee treaties.

As long as there is no better way, takes some money, give them some place to stay and regulate the stay.

In Phang Nga they are living under worse conditions than anyone would have chicken on a farm!

This is not about some "cattle", these are human beings.

And I don't care, who helps them,but as humans, we are defined by the way we treat the weakest and poorest and the ones that need our help.

So Thailand has to help- supported by the international community!

Sure it would be a great idea, to ship some Asian muslim to central Europe and have them stay there!

...or what is your solution?

Put them out of their misery with...???

Thailand is not a signatory to the UN Conventions for refugees, nor stateless people. So I imagine it would make it very difficult for UNHCR to follow internationally recognised processes & find countries to accept these people.

Didnt know that. Tragic!

So?

What now, Thailand?

Back on the boat...push them out?

Yeah...the first 500 demonstrators on the streets and as sure as the sun rises in the east, the opposition leader demonstrates, that he is as good at "do as I say, don't do as I do" as anyone in this country!

This would, undoubtedly, be the most scenic route of all

F1 courses and would showcase Bangkok's most attractive assets to a World-wide

television audience. Formula One has a total global television audience of 527

million people. Most Americans don't know Thailand from Taiwan. This race has

the potential to be one of the biggest advertisements for Thailand ever.

At the end of the day, there would be some newly paved

streets and many, many people around the World with a new-found desire to see

the mystical city that Bangkok is. These cars, rumbling around the course for a

couple of hours, do not equal just one full day of normal traffic as far as

vibrations are concerned. F1 cars are

relatively lightweight and will not damage the road surfaces so only a few

sections of street need to be resurfaced. The noise factor is measured in

seconds in any one place as the cars are moving quite fast.

The race course, as advertised, is in one the least

commercial parts of the city and would impose on the fewest people than any

other 'scenic' area of the city. No one is interested in seeing an F1 race in a

non-descript part of Thailand.

It the race is held during Songkran, the weather will be

clear and many Thais will be out of town. This is also low season so this will

help the tourism business during a normally slow time of the year. All he high

end hotels would be full for the event. Local traffic would only be stopped for

less than three days and then, only in limited areas at any one time.

Barriers are set along the entire length of the

racecourse and spectators are limited to select viewing areas, No soi dogs will

be able to get on the track nor vendors or any thing else unauthorized. F1 has

been running races safely since 1906 and If an F1 race takes place in Bangkok,

rest assured, it will not be run by Thai people.

p.s. Sebastion Vettel ran his Red Bull F1 car up and down

Ratchadamnoern Klang and around Democracy Monument a couple of years ago and it

drew lots of excitement. http://wn.com/formula_1_f1_@_ถนนราชดำเนิน_drift

Your post is so weired, that I don't even know, where to start.

Okay..."see the mystical city of Bangkok"???

If you see the F1-circus in Monaco...do you get the urge to go there? And Monte Carlo is for sure not too bad to look at!

The noise will be limited to a few seconds? First of all: an F1- car makes the noise like a starting jet- engine...and there are 20 of them...and they don't rush by in one big pulk. Towards the end of the race, 16 cars may be divided by 1 or 2 minutes...

So here is one! Here comes another...and another...here comes No. 3....

It is a constant noise, also because in some areas, the on- coming off- going straights are pretty close to each other.

Third: you don't need to resurface the roads AFTER a race (well...maybe you need to...) but BEFORE it.

Ever took a taxi by night in Bangkok? When the roads are empty and every cabbie turns into Mario Andretti?

It is a bumpy ride!

You need to even that out, before any F1- car EVER goes hi-speed on that!

ALL of the 6 kilometers!

It will be a boost for tourism?

Did you ever look at the numbers a race is drawing nowadays?

It maybe 30 - 50 k for training or qualifying and maybe 100k for the race. Many of them on combined tickets.

And no "average" Thai can afford any of the tickets.

But you said, we should have it on Songkhran, when most Thais are out of town anyways.

It's always good to have something done IN Thailand, that doesn't include the Thais, huh?!

The area will only be closed for three days?

Dream on!

At least there will be training on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and race on Sunday.

BUT...the course, the pitlanes, everything else has to be set up and I am quiet sure, this will be (also considering the area) a hi- security event, so I guess, it will more or less a whole week, no one gets to see the Grand Palace.

And last but not least: it was Webber and the event was an hour long and FREE! And he cruised down the course with 80km/h.

We are talking a week long event, high ticket- prices and a bunch of rocket- like cars at easily 200km/h+.

So next time, before you think, people will come to see "mystical Bangkok" (what era are you from? 1613?) because of some millionaires making noise...think again!

No need to be pissey.

Monte Carlo, or any other city of the F1 circuit, has anything approaching the Grand Palace and Wat Pra Kaeow, the Temple of Dawn, the grand boulevard that is Ratchadamnoern, nor even the Democracy Monument. Yes, I would like to visit Monaco but it is not nearly affordable as Bangkok.

The course is 6km. long and maybe 24 cars stretched out along it so, no, the noise will not be continuous in any one place. None of the street courses are very smooth so only a few section will need resurfacing and those benefits will serve the Thais who use those streets for years.

As for boosting tourism, if 527 million people watch the race and see sights like no other in the World, I believe some of them would want to visit the Kingdom. They don't have to all come on race day to benefit the tourism industry. Having the event during Songkran does not exclude Thais but does not inconvenience Thais who are not interested.

Aren't you being a little bit nit pickey whether it was Vettel or Webber? The crowd seemed to love it.

As for millionaires making noise, there are a lot of football fans who pay money to watch millionaires play with balls. If you don't like the 'mystical bangkok', how about 'Amazing Bangkok'? The architecture along the race course is unlike any place in the World and will bring great, and positive publicity to Thailand. Stop being a curmudgeon.

Oooooooh, you are one of those guys.

The sights of Bangkok are soooo unique, unlike anything you have ever seen in the world!

Come down!

They are sure nice, but I could name a vast number of things in the world (natural and man- made) that none of the sights in Bangkok comes even close to and there is not even a F1- course nearby.

You are of course right: the noise will not be continuous in one place...it will continuous all over the place!

Have you ever been to an F1- race? I have!

A car that is rushing right by you is literally earshattering...but even 100 meters away, it is still damn loud.

To get around any kind of F1- course, a car needs between 1.20 minutes to 1.40 minutes (roughly)....so 16 cars, separated by 1 to 2 minutes makes pretty much a constant noise all around, no?!

Again: Webber...for free...1 hour...80km/h...mostly Thais...

Opposite to that: 1 week...200lm/h+...no average Thai on the stands...

Amazing Bangkok? Yeah! Okay, whatever! Architecture like nothing else! Aha!

Arai godai!

I am still to find out, what sense it makes?!

You go there, pick an article, pay, get a ticket and pick up the article at the airport duty free...where you are going anywhere...

I just don't get it!

Agreed. Maybe it's a stop for those big buses full of open mouthed Chinese.

It sure is.

I lived in that small Soi directly behind the Kingpower on Soi Rangnam and it was busloads of Asians, being shoveled in there.

But still: what Is the point?

You have to pick it up at the Duty Free (Kingpower) shops at the airport...so...you are going there anyways!

Why ruin your day in Bangkok with ...that?

The Asian- mindset is not an easy one to under-sa-tand!

Let me ad one thing: why build such a massive complex?

If you can not take anything out there...why have 100 bottles Johnny Walker,100 packs of Marlboro light etc.?

Isn't ONE BOTTLE totally enough to look at and say "Yeah...I want that handed over to me at the airport!"?!
