Thai justice will always remain in the slow lane. A year to work out that someone (hereafter referred to as the killer) helped him hang himself with his sock. Expect another 10 years or more for "justice" to find the guilty party "not guilty".

Justice is non-existent in Thailand. Expect none this time.

Time parents got together and refused to buy into this uniform brainwashing nonsense, marching about to nationalist music, bowing and scrapping, it will all go eventually. No need for any more than one uniform, if that, and sports kit.

It's like living in a country full of brainwashed, zombie-like people incapable of thinking outside the box. Until they can break the shackles nothing will change. The acceptance of the norm is scary and the government will not offer a way out because this makes their job of governance (a word I use lightly) so much easier.

Unfortunately the people live in a country where revolt and change is not tolerated from the grass roots so I am understanding of why we don't see a lot of it. 

While these so called educators and others are allowed to operate with apparent impunity for this kind of treatment of it's citizens this country will continue to fall behind the rest of it's regional neighbors. Criminal charges should be laid but this won't happen. At best a wai and an apology.  Another wasted skin and oxygen thief.

I only wish kharma was for real.

Good on her. I always find it refreshing when a local speaks their mind. 

Truth is not disrespect as most Thais have been brainwashed into believing. Go for it darling you gave me on side. 

Hardly compelling evidence.

Those Calls to Trump? White House Admits They Didn’t Happen

 

WASHINGTON — Has President Trump told you about the time the head of the Boy Scouts called to say his was the best speech ever delivered to the more than century-old organization? What about when the president of Mexico picked up the telephone to let him know that his tough enforcement efforts at the border were paying off handsomely?

 

The anecdotes, both of which Mr. Trump told over the last week, were similar in that they appeared to be efforts to showcase broad support for the president when his White House has been mired in turmoil. But they also had another thing in common, the White House conceded on Wednesday: Neither was true.

If his lips are moving he's lying.

"Who cares?"

 

The House Intelligence Committee

The Senate Intelligence Committee

The Senate Judiciary Committee

The House Oversight Committee

 

And Special Counsel Mueller.

 

Because:

The White House is under criminal investigation for obstruction of justice, collusion, fraud, racketeering, money laundering and espionage.

 

And:

The occupier of the White House' son, along with a Senior White House adviser to his father and a Russian connected Trump campaign director, had a clandestine meeting with agents from a hostile foreign adversary.

Russia.

 

Quite a fish fry buffet right there.

Couldn't have said it better myself. 

Soft targets.

While there is certainly a lot of trash on Thai beaches especially after storms mostly caused from uncaring Thais and Burmese it is what is under the Sand that is the most disgusting and that is Cigarette butts All from tourist !

 

I use to take my daughter to Kata Beach to play in the Sand and the park across the street but no more Kata Beach is just a big discussing ash tray as no one ever cleans those up.

 

The  park is still nice though 

Yep. Let's not just lay all the blame with the Thais. We're all responsible. Let's not kid ourselves. 

Cigarette butts and plastic. 

One of this very rare invisible dogs. They're in big trouble. 

Another wasted skin stealing our oxygen. I think I gave birth to one of his kind when I went to the toilet this morning. 

Dont panic because I drowned him. 

Get used to it. It's only going to get worse. 

Plastic and crap are always going to end up in the oceans and there is an ever increasing supply of both. 

Say no to plastic. 

Mother Nature can be a real bitch. Prayut's actions with help and assistance will be the real measure of his concerns for these victims. 

Everyone has to take some responsibility for this mess and it's not just in Pattaya. It's all about bad habits and ignorance of consequences of ones actions. 

We can't just blame the authorities for how people carelessly and uncaringly dispose of waste. We're all guilty to varying degrees and until we understand and actually take ownership of our ways and habits nothing will happen to improve this. 

The ocean is where most rubbish ends up if not properly disposed of and by default becomes the dumping ground for all our waste.....and there is a lot of it. Perhaps time to reflect on some of our own habits from little things like disposal of cigarette butts, plastic products to name a few. 

Hopefully this video will make us sit back and think about how we can tackle this problem at a personal level without abdicating the whole responsibility to the authorities, who no doubt have their important role too. 

Food for thought next next time you throw out rubbish carelessly.

Maybe a bit dangerous ! 

In a strong wind  that could either fly off or produce massive side force  to topple or push you under the wheels of the speeding Minivan/concrete truck/tour-bus or "four too naa"

I concur. They will be the cause of many accidents.

If the weather was like the change that hit Chiang mai last night, there was on reasonable explanation why the boat would be out, except of course, money.

CM is a long way from Chumpon. 

Just a few lads lacking spiritual guidance. I'm sure they'll grow up to be outstanding citizens. Future leadership potential and not a brain cell between them. 

It's a variation on the golden hand shake.

But 20,000 loan sharks? And no regulation?

They'll pick up the slack and push personal debt into a sharper decline with even more dire consequences for the borrower. 

The trouble is that people don't realise that you can only spend it once and live well beyond their means. Common to most, if not all countries but well and truly engrained here. 

The lad has issues and mum and dad need to address them before he does a proper job on himself. 

Put them away for life I say. I wouldn't feel safe if these people are allowed back into circulation. 

Welcome to "Donald's World"

.....you're fired. Next please. 

Looks like the authorities have abdicated their responsibility to the media again. 

I know it's not responsible but I just wonder how many of these outraged netizens practice the same thing on a motorbike and if not why not make the same comments about that practice. It seems that until something is posted on social media nothing is said. 

A case of the pot calling the kettle black. 

Not likely the full truth has been told. Perhaps another leak by the media may offer more evidence. 

Those pesky unpatriotic reporters. 

Another oxygen thief wasting a good skin. Off with his head.
