Do you know how many flags have the colours red/white/blue on them as the only colours of the flag? I looked but didn't count, but it's gotta be a significant percentage by just looking at the flag. Then there are the flags that have those 3 colours plus a symbol.

How can people get so riled up over something this insignificant? Man, Larry Flynt once wore an American flag as a diaper to a court hearing.

So 2/3 know what they're doing, right?

No, don't know how you could extrapolate that from my statement. Included within that 2/3 would be all of the other assorted terrible drivers one expects to see everyday.

Which came first: the removal technique for disasters you darn well knew were gonna happen, or the tattooing of eyebrows?

I've said this before after quoting an article, and I'll say it again. When 1/3 of Thais believe there is nothing they can do to prevent an accident while driving because it's fate or karma, what do you expect other than carnage on the roads?

Didn't the Thai police say they'd ask for her extradition to Thailand to try her for slander or libel or whatever if their investigation proved she wasn't raped?

I wonder which flight she'll be on back to the LOS?

Of course its the wrong numbers given , as always in the Thai news. 

I would think maybe 10000 members.   

I would not dare to think we have 100 million pedos walking around. 

 

 

7.5 billion people on earth. Half are male so let's call it 3.75 billion male's. About 5% identify as gay from my quick Google search. Research also shows many pedos are straight. 

100 million seems too high and likely a typo, but it's possible. There's also the likelihood that many are just lookers and fantasizers.

It is my highly controversial and totally unsupported personal opinion that every gay man is a closet pedo and would act of they were 100% certain they would get away with it. 

Sorry for that, but I was molested twice as a kid. Once by my dad's best friend and once by my best friend's older brother. 

The torture and torment never goes away. 5 decades of never forgetting.

I taught in Korea from 2011-16 and during that time there was a front page store in the national English newspaper that Korean men were the #1 sex tourists for underage kids in the world. 

It's sick. A slow agonizing very painful death to all pedos. Zero sympathy. 

Shocking that this is news at all in 2018. 

I recall about 10 years ago or so reading an article in the local newspaper that registered nurses -RN's - were going to be taught how to give injections by practicing on oranges. 

That's like telling a medical school graduate it's time for stethoscope class.

Not really that strange , it all happened within 30 seconds.

 

Someone called for an ambulance but in this case it would have been too late anyway , when a big truck and the wheels drives over a body you just can't survive.  Trying to move the victim in that short video clip would not make much sense.

Maybe someone tried CPR after the video clip.

 

Think about it , what would you do if you were sitting in that car and witnessed it ? You would get out of the car and reach for the phone and trying to inform/call for help. Maybe you would also look for damage for 1 second and then try to assist. There is not much you could do in this case.

 

 

 

 

 

We'll, personally I would follow my training. I have been very highly trained in emergency procedures. 

Number 1 call for help. Describe the situation where it is and what happened. Say you're trained in emergency procedures and start the assessment and follow directions if any from the emergency services call centre. 

Every Thai I see seem to hold their phone in their hand all the time, and yet it doesn't look like anyone tried to call emergency until perhaps the guy and the very end of the clip. You'd think it would be priority number one.

Where did you find this movie?  I searched Netflix, couldn't find it... (sounds like a good movie)

It was a very good movie. I watch all my movies and TV shows on a streaming site called Popcorn Time for free. It's got everything.

The jewel theft or 'Blue Diamond Affair' is required reading for anyone still foolish or gullible enough to think Thais can be trusted doing business.

Never heard of the Blue Diamond Affair. Just read it. Laughed out loud! Good stuff.

"He who has diamond knowledge"...the monk/gardener

No wonder they never made a movie out of it, it's less believable than anything that has ever been done before.

I simply don't understand idiots that do this kind of cr@p. He has to know it's disrespectful. he has to know this. If he wasn't at least that bright he'd be back in his trailer in the Ozarks.

Let him spend a year in the Bangkok Hilton.

I fail to understand how seemingly all of this stuff that happens in Thailand gets swept under the rug with an apology, a few baht and not a shred of punishment involved.

Well, not all, but you get my meaning. So very few face the reality of the punishment they should be facing for doing something despicable.

I cannot imagine how horrible it would be to be banged up in Thailand or in Laos, or anywhere in SE Asia. I watched a movie yesterday "A Prayer Before Dawn" about a Brit boxer who got banged up in Thailand for drugs and boxed his way out of prison. It was a brutal movie to watch and knowing it was true and allegedly fairly spot on made it worse.

Why would anyone get involved with drugs here? It is the definition of insanity.

You can get medicine for that. Try Gaviscon.

Naaah...that doesn't work nearly as well as Beerlao.

Sounds a bit like pond scum taking out pond scum. The police should probably be thankful the pond scum are saving them work.

Lawyers......I have more respect for bargirls, crackheads and used car salesmen.

i know what you're referring to. But just because there's some shady stuff going on doesn't mean every death on Koh Tao is shady.

That's true. But I think it's something a lot bigger than folks are willing to consider. It's a gut feeling.

Yeah, I can't see how drunk/high tourists could drown by accident. Impossible. 

You're not looking at the big picture.

There's a serial killer or killers running loose on that island and they are powerful and connected. I simply cannot see it being any other way.
