''plus they could not speak English, so the officers had great difficulty communicating with them.'' So if they could speak English the cops would have understood them.....Nah

''Thai investors have invested at a total of US$5.5 billion in the first eight months of this year, a slight decrease from the same period last year at US$7.8 billion.'' Typical Thainess ''a slight decrease''....just nearly 30%

''Seeing the good in everything.'' That's some good weed you're smoking!

Can't agree, I bailed out a Thai girl beauty shop owner to clear some debts, 22,000Thb, I had to come back to Ireland for a few months and the wife skyped me to tell me this girl had suddenly sold her shop.She was still around Soi Nernpabwan when I returned so I met her and told her I wanted to be paid back 2000 a month.One night she dissapeared and cut off all contact with her Thai friends some of whom she had borrowed from too.I had gotten her to sign a contract with my wife as the lender and also copied her ID card. I learned a valuable lesson and will never loan to a Thai again.One day I will go to Lampang and call to her family not that it will do any good but I want to see Lampang anyway.

I just love the work these two produce,pure talent.

Did you notice if any of them were pointing at you?????

Send me $10,000 and I will call it the Post #3 Scam!

Number 3 is taken....Jetski

She should start with wheelchair sidewalks!

Amazing story considering that when the wife was asked how long he or more importantly the car was missing she replied 7 or 8 days???

Absolutely ridiculous!

What about the infertile?

Or those who are unable to find a mate?

The mental challenged, or physically incapable of married life?

This is not going to force anyone to marry, but it will be grossly unfair.

'Hey, will you marry me, we need the tax reduction.' ABSURD!

'Hey, will you marry me, we need the tax reduction.' ABSURD!.....sounds better than 'Hey will you marry me, the family needs me to bring home a farang sucker?

I thought there was already a Russian business association there .....called the Russian mafia?

This is new....making the suspect point!

I wonder if these Burmese workers will now be compelled to have insurance when they come into the come across the border as they are proposing for farangs. Will this incident go on the statistics of a falang being treated in hospital without insurance and at a huge cost to the health system?. Of course I'm making an assumption that Rambo was not insured.

If he was hungry or needed shelter the temples will provide. But he's been a very silly billy for stealing and will be in a heap of trouble now.

The temples will provide? When did that last happen? Or perhaps you think that all the poor and starving on the streets prefer not to go to a temple?

Seems to me that the monks are usually in Panthip on a Sunday afternoon, usually 3 or 4 pm buying their latest gadgets.

"...starving on the streets prefer not to go to a temple?"

Who is starving on the streets? People may be begging for money, but I doubt they are unable to get food. Thailand is not like the US or Europe or Africa where so many people are hungry.

In any event, the topic is about an Italian thief. Somehow everything subject is quickly turned to be the fault of Thailand.

''Who is starving on the streets?''Falangs down on their luck!

Why don't they just mind their own business!

I only read this morning that they are discussing legalizing the stuff.

Don't ANY newspapers in Thailand have reporters with the necessary language and narrative skills to lay out a story in clear and logical fashion? Apparently not.

He's a photographer not a reporter

I guess the job he was looking for wasn't Rocket Scientist.

Why is there no photo of the two victims pointing at the horrible cops?

I think the time is coming for the height of all balconies in the Kingdom to be raised a little higher. Thais are now taller than they were some years back, so they are susceptible to falling over these balconies as well. It's no longer just foreigners who fall.

He fell from the roof !!!

Wow big drug dealer if he has to borrow a sidecar to dump the body.

And Yingluck wants to pull the government business from them too. Maybe she'll buy four of the new planes from them at discount of course

Hope they don't use LINE !

Wow I was definitely expecting a photo of a Russian guy and a Thai woman....proves you shouldn't jump to conclusions

''Police have been unable to find the weapon the American used to stick himself with, but believe it may have been a sliver of porcelain from the sink or toilet in the cell.''

So now the guy is sitting in the hospital with something short and sharp....brilliant
