have you searched the tracking both from Turkey Post and Thailand Post? there must be some info on one that is not on the other.

yes, just present the number to the clerk at the box section. they will check on the status. sometimes post gets stuck at Laksi or Lamphun and they have to call and get it sent to C.M.

I checked all tracking websites including the Turkish Post. Thailand Post doesn't find the Turkish tracking number.

On the Turkish Post, I can see when it was mailed and when it supposedly left Turkey. I can even see the person who mailed it. That's where the tracking stops. There is no additional information in Thailand.

When sent a register letter to Turkey in October, I was able to track it on Thailand Post from here to Turkey including the person who accepted the letter.

then it has not yet arrived in Thailand. post from Russia, China,Turkey and Morocco can take some time to get here - 3-5 weeks. if it is not showing up on Thailand post, then there won't be much they can do to help you. they will tell you to contact Turkish post. give it time, the chance of a registered letter going missing is pretty low these days.

the real question is - who on earth would move to some godforsaken place like Ubon Ratchathani!

So now we have 2 sets of 3 "guitar men"? I set of 3 that they questioned and released, and another set of 3 that they kept looking for? Sounds like they shouldn't have let our guitar playing friend Sean go (sorry - I meant to say - aided him in leaving) He might have been playing in a trio on the beach that night!

It's a bit too convenient for me that McAnna was in bed the morning of the murders, esp in light of what he has said on FB - '

'I know you tried to save her'

And reports that he was witness to Hannah being hassled by the AC bar manager.

So yes, he could have been on the beach playing guitar that morning. He could have seen what happened, or he could have been involved. Bar manager and policeman friend wanted him dead for some reason if McAnna's words are to be believed.

And three Burmese men playing guitar on the morning of the murders would be perfect scapegoats for the killers. Easy to spread rumours if you are thick with the police, or a policeman yourself, and have money. The fact that the 3rd Burmese who I understand to be Maung Maung is not being held leads me to speculate that he may have witnessed the crime. It was reported that he went back to the AC bar at around 5pm to fetch a guitar. What did he see on that journey? Where is he now? Is he going to be remunerated to testify that his friends committed the murders?

"I know you tried to save her"..........too convenient.......well yes indeed!

What f* was he taking about? He knows? How does he know? He was sleeping as per his own statement, so how does he know David tried to save her? If David & Hannah were about to have sex and somebody hit him with a hoe from behind (which is the RTP version, correct?) then this statement of Sean does not make sense at all.

If however the scenario is true he heard/saw something and got confronted with a nice stab wound in his arm with the message , "get the fuk out of here. You didn't see anything, you understand?!" as per Boomerangutang scenario that Sean's statement does make a lot of sense suddenly. In that case, YES, he knows David tried to save her (because he saw/heard it).

BTW that wound on his arm was very similar to David his wounds. A motorbike accident? Is he serious? I think he had the guitar in his hand as he approached the crime scene (50 meters away?) possibly as a sort of a defense weapon (explains the blood spray pattern on the guitar) when he got stabbed. I think he ran away knowing what was going down there fearing for his own life (rightfully so). I also believe he must have recognized one or two (Mon?), this turned out to be a severe problem, the rest we know.......

IMHO of course!

that wound was probably from the stingray tail bone ring. it is identical to the wounds on the body of the Thai lady who was attacked by the gang member wearing the ring - who also tried to rape her.

i forgot to say earlier that said rapist was [coincidentally] photographed with one or both of the murder victims at a party at one of the KT bars. i'm not going to look for it but it's out there.

do we know for sure it was not the guitar men?

Since then the police released them and then kept looking for the "guitar men", the only logical answer is that no, they were not the same men.

McAnna also had fresh cuts on his body. i'm not going to bother searching for it, but he claimed the wounds were from a motorcycle accident many days before. they were fresh wounds!

I also like to avoid the Maya cinemas on weekends. They are quite crowded in the evenings. Popcorn and soda prices have sadly caught up with the West. They are now more expensive than the movie ticket. I can remember the day when the soda and popcorn were almost free at KSG, or so it seemed.

prices have surpassed the West. 100 Bath for small popcorn - and lots of Thais buying the stuff. prices for the films are reasonable if you go in the mornings, Wednesdays, and have a discount card.

could someone who has experience there give the name of the recommended dentist for basic cleaning? thank you.

in Lamphun. everything is cheaper there. we buy all kinds of things there. some items may have been used for 2-3 months but are still under warranty. you'll have to search on google. most sellers have websites.

i've seen this unfortunate gentleman twice in the last week in the Sansai area. it must take him all day to get the shortest distances. i felt bad for him and it seemed like maybe he was hungry so i asked him if he had eaten or not and wanted to help him. but he had somewhat of an empty look on his face and just stared at me as he was maneuvering his rig at a snail's pace. i suspected he may have some mental issues.

MAYA has grown on me. i didn't like it at first. but the cinema there is great. i've been to the cinema about 12 times now and rarely is there ever more than about 5-10 people in the cinema at any given time (which has to be terrible for profits) but great for the viewer.

i don't care for any if the shops there and the food court is not very good (got terrible food poisoning there and had to go to the doctor it was so bad), but it's a good place to see a film. also the rooftop area is nice for a view of the city.

thanks for the heads up on the Middle East place. i really like M.E. food. i'll give it a try.

Great, I actually ran into Home in Park, liked that a lot too, a lot less greenery than Ban Wang Tan but also seemed like it was better maintained as in the tennis court was not falling apart and grounds were very clean. The lady in the office was a bit of a pain, I walked in and asked if there were any places to rent, just flatly told me "no", I then laughed and said "in this whole moo baan there isnt one place for rent?" .. again "no" .. I realised what kind of person I was dealing with and just laughed and as I was walking out I saw a flyer on the wall of a place to rent, I then said "whats this then?"..." oh i forgot we have one place for rent".. I then just walked out, left a sour taste in my mouth. Inversely my experience at Ban Wang Tan the lady at the restaurant in the club house was giving me maps and telling me about the history of the place. I will have to check out Home in Park again.

she wanted you to offer her some cash to let you know which good properties were for rent. that was the way it was done in the moobaan i lived in about 12 years ago.

don't people that move to foreign countries want to meet the people of the country they chose to live in? i never understood people coming to foreign countries to meet (in the case of Thailand) other falangs.

I am not convinced that the boys are innocent or guilty but the more the prosecution makes it difficult to get a fair trial the more I lean to them being innocent.

The police and prosecution have no one to blame but themselves for the anger and mistrust revolving around this case. However, it could be people in higher positions calling the shots.

This entire situation is sad !

Thats right. If the case was so solid, why the need for dirty tactics. The prosecutors seem not interested in guilt or innocence , only in winning.

I found that in my case also,when i was falsely convicted.

"Falsely convicted".... Well at least I know why you lean the way you do.

maybe she meant falsely charged.

I don't blame the defendants for trying to wring sympathy out of people wherever they can. However, there really is nothing ASSK can do. This is just media hype.

Sadly their lawyer is leading them down the wrong path in trying to try the case in the public. He should be focused on explaining how his clients semen got into the victim. If this has ever been addressed or denied I have not heard it. All I hear is them asking for help from people who cannot help them ... that is what their lawyer is for.

How strong is the trail of evidence that proves that their semen got into the victim? This is the key to the whole case.

remember the Jones murder case in Chiang Mai? the RTP tried to extract the semen from an innocent Karen tour guide, even trying to masturbate him themselves. they wanted to frame him and get his DNA into the victim. when that failed they beat him and dumped him on the side of the road.

Ditto to all the positive comments below, especially on the warm and friendly service. I have pizza most every time and it is always excellent. I like pizza crust to be crispy and request that they cook it an extra minute, which they are happy to do. My girlfriend, a discerning diner, chooses from other parts of the menu and is always happy. She says the Mushroom Soup is the best in Chiang Mai, and I have to agree.

But don't forget the view, the sweeping panorama of the mountains with Doi Suthep clearly visible. Such a nice place for a sunset dinner. Tasty food, good prices, great service and a super view.

Please stay open forever, M Bistro. And thanks for all the wonderful meals. See you soon.

This post has all the hallmarks of a self appraisal.

Just one piece of advice if you are new.....be careful how you advertise the panoramic view of Doi Suthep. I doubt that the high season customers in February,and March will agree.

sounds like a professional writer who hasn't been to C.M.

the wife and i made the mistake of going there once. it's basically what Thais perceive Italian food to be. all Thais in the kitchen. we were the only customers dining the time we went. yes, the people were nice.

Use of our forums

English is the only acceptable language anywhere on ThaiVisa including Classifieds, except within the Thai language forum, where of course using Thai is allowed.

While we make allowances for members who do not speak English as their first language, we expect everyone to make an effort to post in a manner which allows others to understand their posts.

what are you a moderator wannabe? good luck using your address in English. if your papers get lost in the post don't come on here whinging.

Sjaak, Sjaak, doesn't your post perfectly represent what was stated in mine? Even official statements released by one of the slain victim's parents wherein they themselves utter that the evidence that was shared with them is convincing doesn't seem to get through to you?

Ah so it's a done deal then, just because the parents of the victims say there is convincing evidence, we should all forget about a fair trial for the accused and carry out the punishment.

Apart from the fact that these remarks could actually influence the fairness of the trial, I personally would like to see a fair trail commence in which this convincing evidence is brought forward.

Until such time, calling the accused murdering rapist remains premature.

It's however less premature than to announce to the world that these "poor boys" are absolutely innocent, a popular past-time on TV, and going against the parents request to grant them their right to privacy. I personally am appalled that TV has unfortunately not had the decency to respect their wishes, and ban the subject from the forum. Is it because it sells? Has TV turned into just another senseless paparazzi style publisher?

This thread goes against all decency by allowing these insensible comments to appear inspite of the victims' parents' plea! Shame on you TV!

No that is actually less premature, remember not guilty until proven guilty.

From what we have been told so far, I cannot possibly believe these two are guilty and it indeed looks suspiciously like they are being used as scapegoats. Remember it's not so outrageous as it sounds considering the RTP have done this before.

To be honest, I fail to see how any DNA evidence they might have could possibly be admissible considering half the island was walking at the crime scene.

The RTP have only themselves to blame for this, no need to point at anyone else.

I fail to see how discussing this case would violate the parents privacy. Banning the subject, yeah that would work, maybe they can ask the dear leader to do it, would suit him fine I guess.

Anyway, if during the court hearing convincing, non fabricated evidence will be submitted that proves beyond any doubt that the two indeed did it, I will be the first to admit it.

I personally find that unlikely, but rest assured these two will go down, no matter what, Thai Justice will be served.

we'll have to see how the DNA "evidence" plays out.... remember it was the RTP that tried (unsuccessfully) to extract semen from the Karen tour guide in the Chiang Mai Jones murder case appx. 10 years ago. they tried to get him to masturbate and even did it for him in order to get his DNA inside the victim so they could frame him. when they were unsuccessful, they dumped him, after beating him, on the side of the road.

in the West, a good defense lawyer would get the entire case dismissed on the first hearing of the trial or at a preliminary hearing based on the contaminated crime scene.

KOH SAMUI: -- Two Myanmar workers……

I know that people from Burma are Burmese and that Burma is now Myanmar. But I don’t like the phrase Two Myanmar workers that continually appears in the press. So what can they be? Does Myanmarese work? Or Myanmarian? Myanmarish?

Anything else work?

Two Myanmar workers – don’t like it – am over it.

Continue to use the phrase Burmese. I consider the term Myanmar to be a nod to the multi billionaire, heroin dealing generals who still run the country, despite the excellent PR to the contrary. Nothing has changed, in any substantial sort of way, according to my Burmese friends, and my ex-pat friends who have lived and worked there for years. The US was convinced by the Chinese to drop the boycott, in order to allow the Chinese to buy cheaper supplies for their concessions there. It has all been a big show.

not to get into a disagreement with you as I like your posts but every Burmese person i know proudly refers to their country as "Myanmar".
