Interview with former New Zealand Prime Minister Jim Bolger
He's so incredibly polite and careful about what he says, but it's obvious what his advice is.
-
It's rather hard to imagine that the military junta regime is actually going to let this event happen unimpeded. But perhaps they will because of all the recent international press coverage of their human rights abuses.

Sure, you can set the air conditioning as strong as you like , but I wouldn't want to get the chills.

Another boy is beaten to death:
" After learning the autopsy result, Suda, who earns on average 1,000-2,000 baht a month from paddy farming and basketry, borrowed 6,300 baht from her neighbours to seek justice in Bangkok. "
Here is an interesting article:

I guess everyone will soon be going to the gulag , " The notorious prison is used by the military government to detain suspects of crimes against national security and political crimes. "

Welcome to the Land of Smiles ..... and no Free Speech, even in a private conversation!! When will the concentration camps start popping up?

Thanks for the replies , but in fact, I knew all that already ( about Thailand ). I suppose it only is useful in other countries. I know someone who is doing his CELTA right now at IH on Silom Road. He told me a few months ago he was going to do it. He got really good
job offers Malaysia (and maybe elsewhere) for CELTA holders only.
Of course, British Council in Thailand too, will only take CELTAS
-
Since teachers with CELTA are supposed to fetch FAR higher pay with a CELTA, where the hell are all the jobs for them?

Guess the police in checking his mobil phone found other evidence that may be used against him in a court
of law. He was in court today, so charges have been filed. It was also mentioned he was held and not released on bail. He may be in deep sh..before its all said and done.
" evidence"......"He was in court today,".....
Kids get prosecuted for harmless playing around, but real criminals , like mass-murderer politicians ( Cheney, Bush, Blair,etc.) get off scott-free and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to speak at events. What a great country/culture !!!
-
...hope he finds out quickly that an apology won't cut it in the rest of the world....
Why not ?
And why should he apologise ? Boy will be boys !

Tried, convicted and punished all In one short post.I am surprised nobody is talking about taking this monster to answer for his crime. I am sure the victims would want to see that "it" is given the worst punishment.
Good job, regarding an accused person who denies the charges, with a plausible alibi.
The "hang 'em high" brigade out in full force today. Probably should stop salivating until more comes to light--the normal, civilized route, eh?
You're right!
And I tried to say something about these people , but my comments were removed.

Really?
Could have fooled me!

(1) The age of consent in Thailand is 15, so if the men were over that age, then there's no crime in their having sex (assuming it was voluntary).
(2) The accused states all his partners in the photos were over the age of 20.
Personally I think there's sufficient doubt here that the ongoing witchhunt is a tad premature.
Exactly !
And what is this crap about "So "barebacking " little boys " ?
Please, get a life!

quick question, does anyone know what the tick box on the form "special one stop service" or words to that effect means
special one stop service" I saw somewhere that is only for "special" people like diplomats or something
-
I just checked the status of application, and it only says :
Update Status
28/06/2016 Approved
but it does not state the next due date as they said it should: This receipt will also show the next due date of notification.
so I don't I don't know if it's valid or not

Ahhh...and now he can be ...the fun toy in the prison of real men

So, as it turns out, he's a smart and nice looking guy, and probably a good, and popular teacher. (And to think, I got chastised for criticising some of the Bleep Bleep comments that some people made).

...'fun'...preying on juniors....
...not a good role model for sure....
...and no...the school cannot be left out of it....
...but don't hold your breath.....
...18 children were burned to a crisp.....
...and nobody was held accountable.....
...the land of the blameless....
...wow...
Are you sure they were burned to a crisp?!

Interesting topic. I offer that many of the old folks have died or otherwise been incapacitated. Older gays had unhealthy lifestyles. They drank and smoked heavily and used alot of drugs. The younger generation, both hetero and gay have much healthier lifestyles. They don't want to sit around in bars smoking. They are out being active, meeting people and using social media to stay active.
The world changed for the demographic of males who used to run to Thailand. People under the age of 40 especially those 30 and under have grown up under much better circumstances than those of the generation that came before them. They don't need to go to Thailand to meet people or to be happy. There's a 55 year old guy at one of my suppliers, and he's happily married with his partner in their downsized condo living well. They'll visit Asia, but wouldn't dream of leaving their western country now, and the old guy has told me of the troubles what he went through as a teenager.
Oh sure, there are still issues, but for the most part, being gay at 25 today is nothing. Most people don't care. Gay, or straight doesn't mean anything to them. I see it with my own family where family of the hipster designation are overly sensitive to being discriminatory etc. There is a trickle down effect. Gone is the need to lie and live a life of deceit. I don't expect emotional stability from alot of the older gay men because many didn't have it. There is a constant criticism of Thais for being liars, but boy oh boy, some of these old gay guys take the cake on that. 70 years old and still embellishing tales or playing the victim card. It's a rarity now for the person who's grown up in Leeds or Bruxelles or Brisbane etc. They don't have to, because no one really cares what they do.
Look at the argument that's going on in the USA today: It's all about access to the loo. 25 years ago, you couldn't even say you were gay without getting a beating and now they want to designate gender neutral loos. Yes, I know there is a fight in some places over it, but the fact is, there is a discussion. My point is that gay people under the age of 40 or even 50 don't need old style forums anymore. They have their grindr, instagram, tinder, facebook programs and they know how to use them. They move fast too. There is much more acceptance of different people today than there was 25 years ago for the simple reason that the west is so much more diverse. Kids grew up with different ethnic groups, with mentally and physically challenged kids in their classes and have lived through divorces and even their parents announcing they were gay etc. The end result is that the need to identify and associate exclusively with gays is becoming unnecessary. It's going one before your eyes. Gay clubs are becoming passe for the under 30's and they will go wherever there is a good vibe. It follows then that gay forums will have slow deaths as the demographics skew more to the older demographic. Ask your younger friends: They use Line, Facebook etc. old school forums are of no interest. They write 10 words or less usually along the lines of Oh snap you iz cheezy fail #douchefail.
What the hell are you talking about, junior ? What a bunch of meaningless, mindless nonsense, unless you're talking specifically about very stupid people.

NEVER depend on a shop selling frames to make an eye examination.
That mistake that cost me 10,000 Baht
I went to Bangkok Hospital, got an eye exam and written prescription.
Then I ordered a pair on-line from Zenni Optical ... flexible titanium progressive lens and they look better than what I see in shops. This cost 3,000 Baht, no import tax ... shipped from Hong Kong ... about 10 days from placing order to my post box.
I have been considering and hesitating to order from Zenni. Because I'm just leary about buying expensive progressive lenses online. Although they have assured me that they are high quality. They said their best quality ones cost about $200. But yours you only paid 3000 baht for. Are they high quality do you think?

I highly recommend Dr. Suntchai Wirosaengthong, at BNH Hospital on Soi Convent in Silom. I had the exact same problem and he has treated me for it since last year. He works on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday and Sundays. Tel: 02-686-2700. Email: [email protected]
Please give some more info , like, what is the treatment, how often, how much does it cost ?
Thanks in advance.
