Never heard of 'em.

"Men need to stop buying sex....... "

Why oh why do Thai authorities continue to make ridiculous statements in an otherwise serious news story. Do they really think with this statement, the oldest profession in the world will suddenly come to an end?

"Men need to stop buying sex with underage boys/girls and, if caught, will be dealt with severely" I think would have been much more appropriate.

Jeesh there are some miserable people in here, aren't there? Really, where's the harm with a fair being put together to show off what some expats can do - and have done in Thailand? Some have made a name for themselves - Andrew Biggs and the Jonas chap - maybe that's why they were asked to help spread the word at the press conference? 

So many of you sound so bitter - why do you stay here if the country (and it's rules) make you feel so hard-done by? Regardless of country that you choose to make your second home, there will always be issues with paperwork, bureaucracy and the way they do things as opposed to how things are done back home.

 

Get used to it - or make a positive contribution and try and make this a happier place to live for yourselves. 

Agree 100%. Glad you posted BKKBrit, it saved me typing a few lines.

A half a day at immigration every 12 months and 1900 baht, together with a leisurely 12 baht bus trip and 30 minutes at Lat Prao four times a year. Yeah. REALLY inconvenient......NOT! 

"Pay her 1,000 now......... it is only for the cost, a cheap dinner."

Jeez! If I spend more than 100 baht on a meal I panic.

 "......his brains were splattered over the ground. "

Way, way too much information!

Absolutely, positively, definitely.......

Tourists flee stinking trash

Oh, I'm disappointed.

Reading the headline, I believed tourists were running from the headman and his henchmen.

Seems like a wasted life to me.

I think he should suicide by means of the victim pushing him off a high-rise balcony 

I wish for MDC to get parole and, just before he is released, suffers an agonising, debilitating, incurable and untreatable disease that lasts for a few years before he dies in complete and utter agony.

"Instant karma's gonna get you, gonna knock you off your feet...."

The legacy and music live on.

I totally agree with the survey result. Bangkok is my home and I love living here. It's the people who make a place special, and Bangkok is full of special people (Thai people, that is!). 

No other place I'd rather be............

Well, I have to admit when it comes to Muslim, I am racist.

I don't have a lot of good things to say about America, but perhaps we should take a leaf out of their history book and gather all Muslims together and place them in a fertile spot where they can harvest their own food and perhaps do knitting or macrame.

Any people caught trying to escape or enter without authorisation would be shot on sight. All men would have a vasectomy and in about 80 or so years......problem solved!

Just a thought.

"..at this stage, he could not say for sure which side was in the wrong for causing the accident."

"He added that the van driver had escaped."

Gee, a real mind bender!!

 I love the way most, if not all, Thai sportspeople and sporting teams smile and give a friendly wai; win, lose or draw.

Most developed western countries could learn a lot from this example 

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest - A brilliant satirical story of one man's fight against the mental hospital system, characterised flawlessly by Jack Nicholson in the lead role. Sad, funny, moving, exhilarating all at the same time.

Shawshank Redemption a close number 2.

I am utterly disgusted by this shockingly depraved act, not only at the scene of the crime, but also at the police station.

An absolutely appalling attempt at a wai, they should be hung, drawn and quartered.

As for the BJ, unless he has an STD, fairly harmless I would think

so... what are people allowed to do when someone stinks?

Nothing.

It is a public transport vehicle.

It's not pleasant when someone smells but the driver and conductor are not operating a private vehicle.

Their jobs do not allow them to act in this manner.

It could well be that the person they humiliated had spent a ling day at work and was on their way home. What are they supposed to do?

Sooooo...next time I've had a bad meal and my intestines are twisted and threatening mayhem and I can't find a toilet in time, so I just defecate in my drawers and jump on the bus and sit next to you...You'd be OK with that? Because, as you clearly stated...what was I supposed to do? Had a bad day. Time to go home without a care about the rest of the world or civilized behavior or personal responsibility. Piss on everybody else! (literally, would be OK it seems) Because it's my RIGHT to be an offensive, uncaring, selfish individual in the age of ultra-PC-ness and ZERO personal responsibility.

GROSS!

Quite acceptable if you're Chinese

I seriously doubt those figures

It would suggest a high degree of efficiency from the thai authorities

Even if it only cost 1000 baht to process each individual, 100,000 would mean the government spent 100 million baht on this

I have a nice calculator I can sell you if you want. It would be 10 million not 100 million

You had better throw your calculator away.....it's faulty.

100,000 x 1,000 = 100,000,000

Only one thing to say......idiots!

Yeah, i would have gone on the offensive.

They wouldn't have stood a chance coz I have a black belt in macrame!

"...drove over Mr Walter, who was stuck under the car, three times killing him in the process."

I don't mean to be flippant with this terrible tragedy, but how on earth can you kill someone three times?

Judging by some of these replies, I must be blind!

What I see is 2 numbnuts engaging in a totally unnecessary confrontation. The farang ALWAYS had the opportunity to simply back up (there WAS room if he is any kind of decent driver), swerve a little to the left, and he was out of there.

Perhaps he had a hard day in class?

Anger solves nothing.

If only David and Hannah had been wearing life jackets.....who knows?

The cashier broke company procedure as the policy would be for her to check every item processed. If found out, she should be given a first and final written warning.

When I was managing supermarkets in Oz, we were alerted to a cashier involved in a scam. For her friends and family, she would scan item 1, miss item 2, scan item 3, miss items 4 & 5, and so on. We placed hidden cameras above her checkout, sprung her the next day, fired and prosecuted her.
