the truck carrying him to what would have been a slow and agonisingly painful death

I smell bullsheit, so what they keep the dogs hanging by one leg without food until someone comes into the restaurant and picks out a dog to eat, and if nobody want to eat you we just leave you hanging until you die. Not to mention does anyone think avoiding being run over by cars and trucks, scavenging for food, being attacked by other dogs, being disease and bug ridden, living in the rain and heat on the streets for a few years isn't agonizing?!

If the Thais are so concerned about the welfare of the dogs they should spay and neuter them. But instead they take their extra dogs to the temple and dump them, put up screens to keep them out of their own property (everyone in my village does) and some idiot in my area comes and leaves plastic bags of food on the road for the dogs so adding to the garbage floating around. And my wife tells me when the get old the monks take them to the crocodile farms to be fed to the crocs. Much better to be eaten by crocs then people I'm sure.

Sorry, I'm never going to be sympathetic to dogs being eaten.

A great story..... and one in the eye for those who denigrate Thai street dogs!

Of course we denigrate Soi dogs, they taste terrible,

Kidding aside, what we really denigrate are the Thais who let the dogs breed like rats and live on the streets. Correction, in the road. There have to be at least 500 in a 5km radius from my home. At least the Laos and Vietnamese cut the population by eating them. No real difference from cows, pigs, and chickens.

Suspect Ebay would be a viable alternative - never used Amazon here as most items do not seem designed for overseas shipment.

Have never searched for any such equipment but the Banmoh area in Chinatown is known for electronic supplies (and diamonds).

Well I would just as soon shoot myself in the foot then go to China Town again. An over the top example of Thai goofiness. Thanks for trying though.

I can buy both at the local electrical supply shop and I'm in the sticks. They also repiar TVs and stock it for their own shop. Try a TV repair shop, they might sell it to you direct. I bought a good glass cutter from a glass shop as the ones avable in the stores were crap!

Ya, I was going to ask one of the sellers at Pantip, but another member gave me another website that looks like it will have what I want.

Not always the cheapest supplier, but very fast and reliable: http://th.rs-online.com/web/

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

I know these things must be available in Thailand as I have seen some repair shops using some of them. But I haven't been able to locate them at Thai Wasadu, HomePro, Amorn, and Westech Component. Anyone know where I can get these without ordering from Amazon?

"extreme racial bias" because you have this belief that the black people that have been shot are not innocent. Ya, I see who the police are killing, they are killing your racist white folk boogie man. You've been listening to too much rush limbaugh.

Enough of the 'your racist' crap already.

Oh geez, we could go round in circles and I would still be correct and you would still be a whiny republican.

So by your standards the police should be shooting and killing bankers and Wall Street executives, they have stolen more money and hurt more people then all of the Black and Hispanic population of America combined.

Shooting people because you think they have a gun is not sufficient cause, its a trumped up excuse, an excuse the police have been getting away with.

Why would you think I would want the police to shoot and kill bankers and Wall Street executives? Police in America, are not running around using deadly force unless it is warranted. Your posts have went from nonsensical to strangely bazaar and irrational.

If you call 911, who do you think are going to come to your aid? What happened to you that you would harbor so much hate and hostility towards the very people who would risk their life to save yours? It's mind boggling to read some of the anti-police posts on this site.

I'm not anti police in anyway. I am anti people getting away with blatant murder, and in all of the cases that have been reported in the news in the last several months the police have done just that. Just because you and your buddies misconstrue other's posts doesn't make your posts accurate.

You need to stop napping so much, try combining the various stories in the news of the police killing innocent blacks in America then try and make this post only about 2 black shooting at police. Very little operates in a vacuum.

There are no police killing innocent blacks in America. Where do you read this garbage?

Ah, I see, your extreme racial bias and bigotry are apparent. Enough said.

Why don't you share with everyone who the "black innocent people are the police are killing." What's up with the "extreme racial bias remark?" Where did that come from? When you try to think about who the police are killing, you start to see how ridiculous your post is.

I'll guarantee you, there are no police officers in America, that get up in the morning and think about killing black people or anyone else for that matter. I think you have been watching too many movies.

Police checked all houses whether listed as part of the project or not !

All houses ?

My speculation, is these are houses in rich areas not just any part of Bangkok. The BiB expect a New Years present for their good deeds (from Buddha of course).

Good for the gangs they didn't do this to me, I have a 4,000 pound weapon I am in control of and I will drive over you with it. Repeatedly.

hould be targeting the officers who got away with murder, this would be better incentive for other officers to behave in the public interests. If it happened to my family I would find the cop after things settled down, he would still be alive but would be missing his hands.

This post is about two gunmen who shot at police. Who are the policer officers who got away with murder? If what happened to your family? You would cut a police officers hands off for doing what? Wow, the mind is a terrible thing to loose. Maybe a nap would help.

Also not, that when stalled is reported many people assume they are talking about the engines, this is not the case, simply not enough air going over the wings to support it, so it looses height, commonly directly related to airspeed and normally pilot error. It is more than likely that this will be pilot error, putting them selves into a area of strong up/down drafts, descending, disconnected the auto pilot and decreased airspeed.

More likely that wind shear caused the plane to stall. The pilot was asking to climb so would not be slowing down.

Hey if Chao Lao Beach is such a great area you should keep quiet about it, next thing you know it will be screwed up like many other popular areas that were once quiet and peaceful.

many of us did dangerous things when we were young, cant imagine how we made it thru childhood, sad for the boy and his family

Yah, I plan to watch my son carefully and try to educate him of the dangers. Hopefully, he will listen, remember, and behave with reasonable forethought of the possible consequences.

I assume these "deaths" are within the "tolerance" level.

Certainly within mine. I feel sympathy for the families but everybody is going to die in the end.

Just a form of population control. ho hum

The police culture of protecting their own...even when they cause an unnecessary civilian death...using cover-ups and insider bargaining is causing a backlash...not just in the black community...but some members of the black community have decided to do what the Justice Department is failing to do...punish the police for their brutality towards civilians...

Please you ex-law enforcement officers do not try to justify these crimes...there is amply video evidence of people being stomped and beaten with clubs while down on the ground and handcuffed...women included...should make you proud...hum?

Pantip no longer has any real draw, the prices are exactly the same as the big malls so the aggravation of getting there is not worth your time. None of the shops really discount and even the repair shops aren't that good.

Besides my wife says they are planning to renovate Pantip and make it a regular mall. Lots of changes the last time I went there two weeks ago.

Invade IT seems to be overpriced in my opinion and seems to sell the same limited inventory that the rest of the shops in Thailand sell.

I'm trying to have some items shipped here, hopefully other than the delayed shipping there won't be any problems.

So lets do some simple math

108 billion budget 108

less 30 percent operational inefficiency (32)

less 30 percent for using 1000 year old designs. (32)

less 40 percent for sponges (not used to absorb water) (43)

-----------

actual amount spent on real water projects 1

That's about right based on history

rice scheme farmers benefited = none

one tablet scheme students benefited = none

Where are the pictures of the suspects still at large?

There's nothing for them to point fingers at so no need for a photo op.

I assume that no one was wearing a helmet.

At high speed a helmet is only marginally helpful, still won't keep you from getting killed. But you're probably right.

Romance is not dead!!

Presents for their lovely ladies, romantic music and..............................

If I were going to make assumptions I would assume these guys were buying gifts for their boyfriends.

The only problem is that the citizens should be targeting the officers who got away with murder

Which officers 'got away with murder' exactly?

You obviously know more than the relevent grand juries. Care to enlighten us on your insider knowledge?

Each cop that didn't get indicted got away with murder. Just because the grand juries didn't indict doesn't mean the cops aren't guilty, it only means they don't have enough evidence(sometimes) to convince the grand jury. The cops started shooting to kill, no leg shots no, tasers, just empty your gun into the guy holding a plastic gun or no gun at all.

Autopsy reveals LAPD shot unarmed black man Ezell Ford in back, side, arm

When even video evidence of another police killing doesn’t lead to indictments anymore, you know we need to upend this miscarriage of justice

Yes mom you were 100% correct there really are adult stupid people in the world like this....I hope you didnt leave any children behind. Lets just have the wild wild west, no laws, no restrictions....dont like somebody just blow them away or cut their hands off. SMH

Not liking somebody and getting revenge are two different things. Yes as you can see the law has really done well by the cops who killed several innocent people. Great laws. Stop talking out of your butt.

better he stays here in jail

as in NZ he will get too many rights as a criminal

let the thais show him what prison should be like

Which is why he seems untroubled, he will get extradited to NZ and do a short stint for credit fraud and be out free in a few years.
