Katipo

RIght, so he walks into a crowded mall full of CCTVs and he thinks that throwing the gun in a canal will save him? Not the brightest I'd say.

RIP the poor young woman. Condolences to her family. A tradgedy that she ever crossed paths with this 'man'.

However, I'm inclined to say that even a THB10.000 off the rack suit at Emporium is higher quality than the Sukhumvit junk. But there are sooooo many people out there who tends to believe they'll get a fantastic suit in quality wool for THB15.000, and that's unfortunate, because they wont.

but who can fit in an off the rack suit ? and still make it look good

Here is some novel thinking. Why don't they activate this 'WFMC' to prevent the level reaching catorgary 4, instead of wiating until it is too late?

If he isn't dead, why doesn't he announce it himself. He's normally not short of things to say

"He said that the contractor had abandoned the construction and that the city would find the new contractor to complete the job by the end of this year."

What? Why? Another contract given to a friend of a friend who has no experience in doing what they were paid to do. Well at least everything got their money you can be sure.

Texting at the time of the crash? I mean, how else could you miss the huge white & red candy striped beam of steel going over the road in front of him?

But why was it there in the first place ?

That's a very good point. As it is before an overpass, not an underpass. There is nothing on the overpass that would restrict the height of the vehicle. Perhaps they planned on something in the past that never got built? It wouldn't be the first time.

Not all local Phuket people? No, there are plenty from other parts of Thailand too.

However, the majority of foreign criminals in Phuket, can only be criminals thanks to the corruption that exists amongst officials on the island.

Pay and get away. Don't pay and be put away.

In a country where politicians lie and are even more corrupt than usual, I think I am going to side with the World Bank on this one. Not to mention that in my honest experience, many Thai’s have trouble admitting they are wrong, let alone saying they are sorry for their mistake.

The 7.9 billion needed to repair 'government building' looks more than a little suspicious me thinks.

Thailand is just not ready for these things. Without the current broad range of protectionist policies, the economy would stuggle to survive.

What's the point in cleaning the roads when people will just toss more rubbish on to them a short time later? A mental shift is required in how people regard littering if you want to see cleaner streets.... parks, rivers, temples, etc etc.

Minister promise flood-free industrial estates.

Same artical said 39 industrial estates been hit by the floods.

Second the building dams/walls around some estates so infrastucture for delivery and recieved goods not possible.

Flood-free but factories shut down.

The dykes around the estates have access ramps going over them, so you can get in and out..... unless the water is so high that even reaching the estate becomes a problem, as in 2011.

The dykes primary purpose is to keep whatever is inside dry so that they factories inside can kick off again as soon as the surrounding waters have gone. Most companies should have contigency plans to place the lost production capacity at their other sites, assuning they have them. Those that don't will just have to wait it out.

Who made him the weather god?

Well, the trips abroad can't hurt trade, even if they don't help. Other than that she is never here, so businesses can get on with making money without her interference. So yeah, I guess they are happy.

She really is the spitting image of her brother.

Oh dear.

It really makes me question all these people who find her physically arreactive. lol

She really is the spitting image of her brother.

Do they have to mention the 'head'? Unnecessarily graphic. Poor family.

Yes, they did because that's what happened! It's called reporting!

Rubbish! It's insensitive. Reporting who he was, the circumstances that led to the accident, and that he died, are details enough. The gruesome details of what happened to him go beyond mere reporting and step into sensationalism. Poor family.

Rubbish! It's insensitive.

Who says its insensitive?

This is Asia my friend, the attitude to life and death over here is a bit different to what you may have been used to, but it doesnt make it insensitive, just different.

Travel broadens the mind, the cultural imperialists dont appreciate that, best you stay home if it offends you.

You want some more insensitivity?

The locals will be buying lottery numbers that match the tabien motocy.

You want even more, go to your local newspaper stand and buy the magazine 191, everything in graphic detail.

The family of the deceased is not Thai. How would they feel? Don't people everywhere you go always speak about being sensitive to other cultures etc etc.

I've been over here 10 years, and yeah, I'm still not used to some of the shit I see. Telling me that I should go home however, that won't make the things that are wrong, right. It just means there will be one less voice to complain about them. I for one want to see Thailand move forward, and yes, on it's on terms. Me going home however, won't help this country advance beyond the quagmire it is currently stuck in.

How about instead of just 'urging', she does her job and takes part in making a collaborative decision.
