Are those poles going to be retractable / folding, spring loaded perhaps?
Are they going to be full size and carried vertically on motorcycles like the conductors for a bumper car?I'm thinking they have been watching too many marvel movies and gone a bit 'Asgard gate keeper' with this idea.
Expect them to have a glowing Tesseract style light at the tip and be painted gold.
Oh please let this happen...
On a serious note, this is highly relevant policing, the number of times I've come across man eating snakes on the way back from the 7/11!
If I had a baht for every time that's happened...
Maybe the man was hungry.

Childish.... very childish
Now, back to the OP.
Why didn't Dr Wanthanee Wattana warn pregnant women... wait, that might have caused panic, and more awkward questions for him to answer.

Master baiter.
Nice language, I thought profanities were against the rules... but hey, I'm not, unlike some, going to report you, but will wait and see if the Mods do something..
And yes, I did understand the use of "baiter."

What we know.
Zika virus can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus.Infection during pregnancy can cause certain birth defects. Zika primarily spreads through infected mosquitoes. You can also get Zika through sex.There is no vaccine to prevent or medicine to treat Zika.
What we do not know.
If there’s a safe time during your pregnancy to travel to an area with Zika. How likely it is that Zika infection will affect your pregnancy. If your baby will have birth defects if you are infected while pregnant.
That's all very good, but I'm sure most know that info, I was reading it in the hope it had some relevance to the OP, but sadly I couldn't find any.. but hey, you had your say.

"BANGKOK:-- About 20 cases of Zika virus infection have been confirmed in Bangkok, but none of them have shown any symptoms of sickness, " then why did they seek medical help. Anyway, the fact they have the virus is a reason to be concerned, let9 not forget, not all that are infected seek nedical assistance, so 20 cases is only the tip of the iceberg.

LOL. I was going to post exactly the same thing. What's going to happen when there is only one policeman around to deal with a yaba crazed guy? Tazer! 5555
I want to see the cops carrying these on their bikes.

'You think too much' used to annoy me when I first came here, but nowadays I think they're right - to a certain extent.
We (or more accurately I
) do over-think small, relatively unimportant things.
It could also be said that Thais do not think enough.

Thailand has the same illogical mentality regarding vehicular accidents as the Saudis when I was working in Saudi Arabia.
The company driver (Pilipino) was declared by the Saudi police to be at fault and put in jail while he was NOT at fault.
Contacted the Captain of the Police and asked him to explain how come our company driver was at fault when it was a clear case of the Saudi driver to be at fault.
The captain said, "If the Pilipino had stayed in the Philippines the accident would not have happen". End of discussion. Only thing the captain agreed on was to let the Filipino out of jail. While the company a Saudi company was ordered by the Saudi Police to pay for the damages caused by the Saudi driver.
LOL in LOS.
By the same "logic" if the saudi had stayed home... etc

Only just over a week ago there was another instance of an older farang driver being involved in an accident in which a Thai (being on a motorbike) lost his life. Also in the Pattaya area: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/940572-80-year-old-british-driver-crashes-into-lighthouse-chef/
My 70 year old American friend gave up driving because he said his eyesight and reflexes were not what they used to be and he'd had too many close calls (plus backing up into a bus that he'd somehow failed to notice). I know everyone is different, but age takes its toll on all of us, so perhaps this plays a factor. I wonder if in Thailand there's some sort of compulsory regular testing of driving skills once you get past a certain age (I doubt it); they had this in Canada and my father dreaded it, but could see the reason for it also.
p.s. I'm not saying that the Brit drivers were responsible in either of these two cases, but it is a possibility, and age-as-a-factor is also a possibility
" I know everyone is different, but age takes its toll on all of us, so perhaps this plays a factor " along with the alcohol and drugs many younger people use, then drive.

Teach your children dog's natural behaviour. A dog would never really attack somebody smaller than him. Kids can also learn Thai boxing. A healthy kid will look everybody straight in his/her eyes - a signal of honesty and fearlessness. Most Farangs are simply mentally retarded from obedience to authorities and fear, so they can't act natural anymore.
"A healthy kid will look everybody straight in his/her eyes - a signal of honesty and fearlessness." is seen as a challenge to dogs, very bad advise. I think you idea of "honesty and fearlessness" to be a little off, in fact damn stupid and dangerous.

What has the NBTC got to do with it, it is the not so noble RTP that bring the "suspects" along, perhaps that is where the Ministry of "Justice" should be focusing their attention.

It was only announced yesterday and it will take a little time to go into effect.
This could be why you have yet to see it happen.
Ummm, did I say why hasn't it happened, No, I didn't, but hey, you had your say, even if premature.

Let's not forget that a certain law was passed forbidding an investigation into certain people, let's also considers only 237 state officers are under investigation, hardly a drop in the bucket.

I'm curious how many hours do other non-English speaking countries teach English in primary and secondary schools?
I don't know about all countries, but my philippine friends say that when you start school, grade 1, all lessons are in English, quite a contrast to Thailands meagre attempt. Guess which country is more serious, about English education. Am waiting for a Thai apologist to put a good spin on this.

Well <deleted> me sideways! Would never had thought this would happen. One of so few great things done by the General.
Um, this is Thailand, we have yet to see it actually happen, we hope it goes against the tide, and does.

My concern is that Thailand only has narrow gauge track , that would likely have to be replaced with broad gauge . Another concern would be the maintenance of the track as high speed accidents would be deadly . The distances seem rather short to justify the expense I feel that an updated broad gauge two way regular railway would serve the purpose better , as well as adapting to freight trains . As has been suggested , It might be cheaper and quicker to fly .
I don't think distance is the issue, Japan has them and is much smaller, however the cost is too high for Thailand, not only the initial project, but ongoing maintenance and how well it will be patronaged.

I think I don't understand your question/statement...
Well, reading your comment would explain why you don't understand.
By the way, how many people are asking for "evidence"?

By the sheer number of people requesting "evidence" or cheering on the (false) assumption that none exists, is would appear it isn't quite as well known as most people think!
It's as though the very scandal led Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai to dissolve the House of Representatives in July 1995 in order to avoid the no-confidence debate didn't actually happen, and the hundreds of thousands of supporters that Suthep incited to march on Bangkok weren't doing it for the very purpose of defending his reputation...

so, you think that TV readers are a good sample of all those in Thailand, and many overseas,... I think NOT.

seems to be implying that they will stay in power for at least 20 years? Which is the only way this 20 year plan would be fully implemented. Obviously they are fairly confident that they will get the majority of 'votes' for the next 20 years!
Hiztory already shows who "governs" Thailand, search for thailand coups since 1932, you will see the military stands over any "elected" government.

so you are saying Suthep was involved in this, that is a pretty serious accusation you are making there, I hope you have the means and the evidence to follow it through as they will be knocking on your door soon enough
Now on topic
I wonder what is going to happen to all this land that was illegally transferred and also the very large amount of money this family has amassed through this highly illegal activity. I'd be willing to wager a similar operation exists at a few other tourist hotspots and is yet to be exposed
Seems you read things that aren't actually there, no where does he actually accuse Suthep, although it is well known about Suthep and "shady" Phuket land deals.

Disenfranchising the power Elite, by military force, is a totally different (plain English) issue, compared to buying favour from the masses of the people, as TS did. Think, about it
This isn't about TS, think about it. About time you anti TS people got over it, we all know what he was like, but hey, he did do some good.... think about it.

It's 'bleeding' difficult to understand how the health officials can apparently be so confident that transmission has been contained. Most cases of Zika virus infection are asymptomatic , and when symptoms do occur they are usually mild. An additional complication is that the Aedes mosquito is not the only source of transmission. Infected men can pass on the virus to their sexual partners, and the CDC has recommended that infected men should refrain from unprotected sex for at least 6 months after developing a Zika virus infection. This means that women in an area of infection who could become pregnant would be wise to insist that their male partners are tested, or else refuse to continue engaging in unprotected sex. The advice to villagers about eliminating all mosquito breeding sources is, of course, ridiculous - even more so during the rainy season - and it is also highly tendentious. People in urban and rural ares are now known to have about the same risk of being infected with a dengue virus, so why wouldn't this also apply to Zika?
One BIG problem is that many, with Zika, will not know they have it, as the symptoms are the same as a bad cold/flu.

The wait is finally over - please welcome Thailand's "Smart Police"

Tasers are placed in a recharging rack at the end of the day, but hey, do we really want thai cops to have them, though I could accept it if they took their guns away.
