barry

when he gets out

can he run for office?

I'm waiting for WINDOWS 8

A very smart marketing trick by the museum. They got all the world media coverage they wanted, for cheap.

of course it remains to be seen whether people will show up and pay after this controversy

i'm sure there will be some boycotting

of course what few people are taught

or remember

is that thailand declared war on the U.S. so as not

to be occupied by japan in WW2...like it or not

they were part of the "Axis" back then

well, i see no apology or retraction from patty pong

girl, you have no shame

i'm astonished to hear from pat pong

saying i've anti-thai sentiments

patently absurd...give me an example please

i'm eagerly waiting the day when the movie gets released;

Thai Visa: The Final Crackdown

its amazing that the real problem is never faced head on: TOURISTS

ban all tourism and the visa problem will vanish

i'm also very disheartened watching all these illegal foreigners from the U.S., UK, Australia

mowing peoples lawns, cleaning their houses, and cleaning up the street garbage...give these jobs back to thai citizens

Jail for libel is insane

How else do you propose to stop it?

Suspended sentences and fines don't seem to have any effect on some offenders, like Samak, for example.

They just don't get it.

What else do you think would teach them a lesson?

a weekend in montenegro with thaksin and his wife?

is this a new concept: less politique?

a thousand? who know that were that many crooks and cheats in the country?

maybe thaksin can move to england or the u.s. and

have his own reality tv show

They should put this guy on an island on water and bread, cause of him and his red shirts, Thailand tourisme is way down and we loose a lot of income

What a load of old <deleted>, tourism has gone down dramatically in the last couple of years even without the global recession and it has nothing to do with Thaksin {and I'm not a supporter} this government has done sod all to curb the scams going on, even going as far as admitting they are incapable of clearing the crooks out of the airport. Instead of moving corrupt officials into other equally lucrative posts they should be sacked and prosecuted and the injustices that are going on should be righted but they wont because this society is founded on corruption and graft.

Instead of "Gilligan's Island", the show could be called Thaksi's Island...I LIKE IT

maybe thaksin can move to england or the u.s. and

have his own reality tv show

considering how many things Thai's do a poor job with

its good to see at least the gangs are real professionals

lets see what its like on December 6

i once had sex on the beach with a girl named sandy

that wasn't her real name

but after a heavy session...SHE WAS SANDY

please tell me the girl doesn't look like Ahmadinejad

next thing you know they'll outlaw gambling

i agree...we should at least get to know people before we steal from them

my response is the same every time they change these rules (frequently)

HUH ?!?

i don't care where they move to

as long as they keep giving us the sweet and lovely treatment

we've grown accustomed to

i guess for some people FARANG is a 4 letter word

if he thinks he's hit rock bottom

wait till he goes to prison

he'll have more than rocks in his bottom

It's strange the other day, there was a topic on here comparing Brits abroad in various countrys, the number of yanks that jumped on the band wagon taking the opportunity to give us a Brit bashing, "all the brits are scum", "all the brits are trouble-makers", "why don't the brits stay in their own country". (ha! - I haven't heard of any of them robbing banks, I remember a German guy doing it in Chonburi 6yrs back, and I remember a Norwegian holding up a gold store in Pattaya)

The number of people who come to this country and live on the bread-line is unbelievable, and in my line of business I see them all, so I can safely say there is definately a majority of one nation that pass through my doors who live in this situation (let's just say they didn't live the AMERICAN DREAM). My question is why do they do it to themselves, if you call living in Paradise - living out your life in a little box, not even a motorbike for transport, and penny pintching at every eatery (down the road its only 25bt, so why are you charging me 30bt), you really should be thinking of heading home, you are embarrasing yourself and your home-nation. All these people that I have come across, seem to be within 'the working age' have 2 legs & arms, and seem perfectly able. So go home, get a job, and come back when your life's in order, and stop inflicting your miserable way of life on the rest of us.

Way to many sad individuals in this country, spoiling it for the rest of us.

And to pre-empt anybody sticking up for these saddos and saying "look, some people just get dealt a bad hand", success is a journey not a destination. The problem with most of these low-lifes they haven't learnt to accept responsibility for their actions and love to blame others for their pit-falls, until they accept responsibility for their actions, their lives will never improve.

You are spot on with your comments! Can't blame the authorities if they have to shift the good , the bad and the ugly!

I would have to say that with the possible exception of las vegas, i've never met so many con artists, bullsh*t artists, and phoneys as here in Pattaya...not ALL farang (obviously) but this place does seem to be a magnet for low lifes who think because they have a few baht in their pocket they're big shots

we always hear about arrests in this country but rarely the eventual outcome

what does anyone think will happen to this poor slob?
