Of course they were not, it was the fault of foreigners.

I sure hope the Egyptians charge me double the next time I'm there to see the Pyramids. That could be one thing they could learn from the Thais.

Anyone remember the tourists the police kidnapped from the airport a few years ago?

It is incredible how this sort of thing happens, and usually without any recourse.

In the blood tests at that school, he said, many students and their parents had witnessed the medical team reusing the same syringe several times,

What more can you say after that? This idiots watch them re-use the needles and just let them keep doing it. Unreal.

The name of the company is not identified by the DSI.

Two cheers for Thailand's ridiculous libel / slander laws. The wealthy win again.

Can't help but wonder what the fate of the seized elephants will be.

I'm afraid we all know their fate. The police and government officials have no concern for the well being of these majestic animals, other than how to profit from them.

We are also getting a lot of blocked sites and long hang ups while trying to load others. Keep an eye on the status area of the browser, you will probably see some interesting stuff going on there, as it looks like it's being re-routed through some other gov or official sites.

I have no doubt that the same people who want to put an end to Facebook LIKEs that do not favor them, would try to monitor the entire internet looking for anything they could arrest someone for. Not to mention, they are already monitoring LINE for the same reason. This place is going to be Junta controlled before it's all over.

Getting Chinese visa's is becoming more difficult, more documents each.

Recently obtained a vis in Chiang Mai, need tickets, hotel reseravations etc

Did you need to show proof of health insurance?

My last trip to China they didn't ask for anything at all, but that was a couple of years ago.

Hmm, i opened it in bangkok bank, i think its called 'Be1st'.

So i activate it in an ATM machine ?

Never done it, do you remember some of the procedures or questions in the machine ?

The 1st Card can make online purchases. You can also set your spending limit on it.

How exactly will this stop them from racing? I think we all know that no one is going to be watching these and chasing down kids who leave their house.

We could take a few, but I think they have over 50 now with the new pups. It's some bizarre dysfunction I think, like pet hoarding.

My grumpy old Thai neighbor says he's going poisoning them and is at the poor house every day fighting with them about the mess the dogs make. It's funny to watch him get worked up. He's your typical old Chinese / Thai man who is grumpy 24/7. Two of the poor shacks built a fence around their property and then lock the dogs out at night when they sleep. Day time comes, gate is open and the dogs are let in. But that's like 50 or so dogs on our street every night making noise and ripping stuff up, it's insane. If I didn't know better I would think they were running a bootleg dog shelter.

Lick clockwork, one of the dogs crawls through a neighbors fence around dawn and gets stuck. The dog lets out the most God awful howl you have ever heard in your life, and he does it until someone, usually the wife of the grumpy old man, gets up and helps him out of the fence and beats it with a stick. The dog keeps going back, keeps getting stuck, and keeps getting beat. I have a feeling that one is going to be the first one to go and I'm surprised he's lasted this long with all the horrible noise it makes when it gets stuck.

I guess it could be worse, they could be hoarding pigs.

Dont worry the recently featured "Monk" has a way with dogs.

I missed that one, what did the monk do to a dog? Or maybe it's best I don't know.

Good luck with that. We'll be talking about the same thing and new accidents 5 years from now, with zero changes made.

cause, like everyone else, they like dogs? and probably cant afford vet care, and probably lacking major education for acceptable (to you) practices for pets... so if it really bothers, then maybe offerring to take in a few for the operation, shots and a shot of ivermectin might help...

Sounds expensive. They must have sent a farang to do the buying.

most number of children as well

Very true. However, kids I can understand given their situation, but having so many dogs are just unnecessary no matter how you try to look at it.

I live in a generally well to do area now, but there are 3 "shacks" who seem to be squatting on the land they are on. All the dogs in the neighborhood are well behaved, each house having one or two, except those belonging to the squatters. Not only do they have no less than 50 dogs, but they turn them loose on the streets to terrorize everyone in the neighborhood, ripping through garbage, crapping everywhere, howling 24/7, and chasing every bike that drives by, and every person walking by.

Today I go out and there are a handful of little newborn puppies running around in front of one of the shacks, and I'm thinking, what is wrong with these people? This is the 3rd place I've lived in Thailand were the poorest in the area had all the dogs from hell. These people literally live in shacks and look like they belong in a refugee camp, but they raise packs of street dogs and let them breed. I don't get it. My Thai partner says it's a karma thing, but I don't buy that. All the other Thais around us only have one or two dogs at most.

Assuming there is a real reason other than they are pet hoarders, does anyone know why those who can hardly feed themselves always have an army of wild dogs?

Get an attorney (may have to look around for the right one). It's expensive, but you can pay to be removed from the blacklist. I know this for a 100% fact.

... in this deeply divided land of smiles colored shirts.

Fixed that for ya.

Perhaps they should focus on keeping the current trains on the tracks. THREE accidents in a single month.
