Just wondering if running a chicken processing plant is one of the occupations reserved for Thais?

Looking at the picture it seems by the rubble on the ground that the cell door hasn't been opened since the fire. What is really interesting is that there is no lock on the lugs but a piece of bar. The padlock is locked on one of the cell bars like someone lost the key way before this?

A ''kid'' is a baby goat and I don't think there were any goats on this bus.There were however children on board and particularly a 3 year old child who is in a critical condition. If writing a column in English then it would be a good idea to know English.

Very hard to have sympathy to someone who sells timeshares!

Especially when it's a job reserved for Thais

I hope, that before they are deporting him, he has to stay a year or two in "Bangkok Hilton" because he entered Thailand illegally and than they can send him home, with a big stamp "Never to return to Thailand"

what a nasty man you are,,,,,did he hurt your feelings in some way,,????,,,,,

No I am not nasty, but I see him as an illegal migrant and not as an assylum seeker or political refugee. We have laws and rules if we enter a foreign country and the one who does not stick to the rules, should get punished and that is it.

So 'NASTY' would these rules or terms in prison be official ones or ones you've just made up. mm nasty.

Funny thing about Thailand, they want to keep nice little jobs like realtors reserved for Thais and give all the jobs on fishing boats to slaves from Cambodia and Myanmar.

''how could she possibly have become the country's first defence minister?'' Don't you mean first female defence minister?

They should have let him on with his mission, look around ,mankind definitely needs saving.

''Weng said Thida said'' That makes it 100%

Is it baht or euro he's complaining about cause thats only 7,000 euros which is less than one months wages for the dope. A cheap lesson I would say.

Jeez, I was just about to waste my time reading this until I saw that it was ''credited'' to Greenpeace.Ha

Well it's red white and blue and you mentioned stars so what about the stripes. Don't you read the newspapers it's big brother watching and listening.

I'd say his daddy is real proud of him.

“We took him to the Phuket Immigration Office for further questioning and found out that he used a fake passport with his own photo to enter Thailand on April 1,” said Capt Angkarn.

Would not be clever to use a fake passport with a photo who isn't yours!! how clever are these cops??

#tonneke breda

They must be clever enough as they did catch him?

credit to Pattaya One for finding out all details immediately:

Mr. Alexander was incensed and decided to employ the services of a Russian-led Hit Squad who were paid to abduct and then kill Mr. Janik in a remote area outside of Pattaya.

This is a hit Russian hit squad?: "The men wore balaclavas and were armed with stun guns and a hammer.". I suppose they were going to use the hammer to nail him to a table and tickle him to death.

You watch too much cartoons on the telly, in the real world it only takes one blow with a hammer to the correct part of the head and you are dead.

''The Esperanza, the largest vessel in the Greenpeace fleet, joined more than 200 Thai fishing trawlers in placing buoys across a 60km stretch of the sea in this southern province to conserve marine life in the Gulf of Thailan''..........

Are these the same fishing trawlers that are accused of all sorts of atrocities against their Cambodian and Burmese crews in an earlier article in Thai Visa ?

Hope she didn't buy it in Tutcom?

I went to BPH last week to get a quote for a scan on my knee and was told that it would cost 20,000 Thb.about 500 euros. I got a friend at home in Ireland to get a price for a scan in a private hospital there and it turned out to be 250 euros ,,, 1/2 price so Thailand is not the place any more.

No but Aeon has fee free withdraws .... the amount is different because the rate changed between your withdrawing not because the rate is different at each machine or bank.

Thank you!

I'd happily pay the 150Thb. rather than stand behind a line of Thais at an Aeon atm. I think they are paying bills or something, you think one is finished when all of a sudden he whips out another card and starts again.

Maybe the English, Russian, Chinese, German and Korean embassies should post a warning on their websites .

Who on earth reads their embassy websites

Good to see that Russians in Phuket can call on Thais in an emergency, and one of their own making at that.

Yingluck has reportedly become increasingly depressed by the strong protests against the price changes, as well as the ever-growing public criticism of the rice-pledging scheme

Nah I'd say it's just the time of the month.

Well I think you are only the lead wagon in whats gonna be a very long wagon train. On the bright side you got 22 years in Pardise before it became Purgatory, Best of luck in pastures new.
