Very tasteless -

NOT funny at all,

take a stab at humour by saying something funny -

Oh wait I get it now, the joke is you are making fun of yourself cause you say stupid things like this in a forum,

very funny !

The bloke who called the fire brigade couldn't pronounce the bleedin' name hense all the damage.

Give an inch and 'people who want and use violence to take' will take a mile. I do not think this will help the situation in the southern provinces one little bit. So, what will help? EDUCATION funds to the provinces local 'non-muslim' islamic offices. If the local offices are islamic muslims, fire them and replace them. This situation of muslims in the south killing for what they are told to believe is simply criminal. They think that if they kill everyone that is buhddist thai or other than muslim is ging fix something they are wrong. I believe Thaksin should place military in the hw9ole area so when the sleepig demon awakes thay are ready. The demon is the fact that the people that commit these crimes are normal everyday people that become incessently angry at a given moment and commit a crime of murder in the name of their god. They are falsely led as the first thing god says

"THOUS SHALL NOT KILL"

crime is crime whether it is committed in the name of god or the name of someones enemy. all murderes and those who tell them to murder should be put in concentration labor camos and made to work for their food to live.

MY two cents on this subject,

Thank you

Govt urged to make Malay official language

BANGKOK: -- A veteran peace campaigner has urged the government to make the Malay dialect, spoken by the majority of people in the deep South, another official language of the region to help restore peace and unity.

Mark Tamthai, deputy chairman of the National Security Council's strategic non-violence committee and director of the Chiang Mai-based Phayap University's research institute, made the recommendation to the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) which is finalising a report suggesting solutions to the unrest in the Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat.

The NRC will submit the report of its findings and recommendations to the government by the end of next month.

Mr Mark said he believed that making the Malay dialect another official language besides Thai would give local Muslims a reason to be proud of their heritage and thus help ease tensions.

Also, it would help overcome problems arising from the use of Thai during police questioning of local suspects and witnesses, as well as ensure protection for people's basic rights.

"The government need not fear that local Muslims in the deep South will not speak Thai after they are allowed to use their own dialect as an official language," Mr Mark told a seminar on peace and tolerance in the deep South, held at the Institute of Asian Studies under Chulalongkorn University's Political Science Faculty. Dual official languages have been in use in many other countries with no ill-effects, said Mr Mark, who is also an NRC member.

Citing Spain as an example, he said this European country had been under Generalissimo Francisco Franco, who ruled the country with an iron fist from 1939 to1975. The late dictator had no respect for "regional nationalism" and regional differences. He had made Castilian Spanish the only official language and outlaw other dialects of Spain.

Mr Mark said violence and conflicts were rife in Franco's Spain, which consisted of several minority groups each of which wanted to be independent of the iron-fisted rule.

After Franco's death the Spanish government allowed their people to use their own dialects and made three more dialects official languages.

In the context of "regional nationalism", he said the government should give local Muslims more say in making policy decisions affecting their lives.

The government should study the pros and cons of peace-building efforts from other countries encountering conflicts and take lessons from them to adjust measures for peace in the deep South.

He cited Sri Lanka as a country mired in violence, saying the Thai government should also look at elements that hamper peace-building efforts in the deep South.

Associate Professor Chanthana Banphasirichote, a political science lecturer at Chulalongkorn University, said she and colleagues from Prince of Songkhla University, Assumption University and Yala Islamic College have been doing a research comparing the levels of tolerance of southern violence between Bangkokians and residents of the Muslim-dominated southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani, Satun, Songkhla and Yala.

Their findings will be added to the NRC's final report and recommendations.

Meanwhile, violence in the deep South continued yesterday.

In Narathiwat, Marosae Joso, 42, a rubber plantation owner, was shot and wounded by a motorcycle gunman while on his way to tap rubber yesterday.

He was sent to Narathiwat Rachanagarind Hospital where he was reported to be in critical condition.

In Songkhla, Pol Snr Sgt-Maj Jaras Promchuay, 46, was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds on a road in Thepha district yesterday. He was ambushed while on foot patrol following an assignment briefing at Huay Pling police station.

Supri Awae, 21, and Niso Ti-ngi, 25, accused of killing two marines in Tanyong Limo village last September and arrested on Saturday in Narathiwat's Rangae district, were yesterday handed over to Rangae police for legal proceedings after being questioned at the police forward command in Yala.

Actually I have heard of this and this statement make complete sense - it may not be a murder at all just a shocked girl leaving the scary scene of an accidental death.

I just think that perhaps this guy had specific sexual favors, Thailand attracts those people.I can´t imagine how a masochistic person is thinking, but perhaps he expected some kind of pleasure .And it was just too strong for his heart.

well when all is said and done one must realize the type of person they are dealing with - this usually means dealing with people in a sober state - wake up people, never get involved with a bar girl period. Bar girls are in the bars for a reason, and honestly is NOT one of those reasons folks - wake the hel_l UP!

On the other side of the coin, there are many many MANY FINE BEAUTIFUL KIND SEXY and GOOD thai women that are not in bars but are available to meet and greet and have 'good' fun and relations with.

These are the ones to know,

Woo hoo!

I can see your frustration with the farang, Or at least I can read it - in every post you make! I understand, I have seen many MANY foreigners come to my country and do not but complain as well -

But at least you CAN complain, in some countries if you say a word you are shot dead!

I can relate

Cheers and Beers,

Thailand will grow the way it is intended to.

Thailand just can't win can it?

If the road system is inadequate, a bunch of Farang cry out for more roads, when they propose to build more roads, a bunch of Farang cry out that it's wrong, always stressing how the Thai people are unable to think and act as well as Farangs.

If the Oil Depot that blew up in England over the weekend had been an Oil depot in Thailand, a bunch of Farangs would be saying how this accident could only happen in Thailand.

I think you guys need to take off your blinkers.

We all know how perfect it is in your own countries of birth and how you have no problems at all there, ( why leave ? ) but give Thailand a chance to progress in the way that Thai people see fit.

The state most western countries find themselves in is down to who ? 

I bet you would love to blame Thais for the poor state of your own countries too eh, but wait a minute, western countries are run by Farangs, so what went wrong?

Get real.

From the looks of the video it seems the wind blew the plane sidways just before landing during descent. At that speed, landing sideways the tires are pretty much expected to blow out. So i would think this can happen to any plane from any country. So darn lucky no one was hurt. Kuddos to the thai pilots for handling the landing so well

All passengers and crew safe from THAI plane accident in Melbourne 

BANGKOK: -- Passengers and crew members on board a Thai Airways International (THAI) plane whose main wheel burst in the Australian city of Melbourne on Wednesday are all safe, the national flag carrier has confirmed.

THAI's Acting President Somchainuk Engtrakul told TNA that all the 260 passengers and crew of the THAI's Air Bus 340-600 aircraft--TG981 flight, Bangkok-Melbourne route--were safely transferred to a passenger terminal of the Melbourne International Airport.

"There are no people injured from the accident and the plane itself is being fixed with no serious damage," he noted.

The plane was taxing on a taxi way after smoothly passing through a runway when its main wheel No.1 burst with a spiral of smoke but no fire, said Mr. Somchainuk.

"The incident was quickly spotted by the airport's air traffic control tower which immediately sent fire engines to put out the smoke in minutes", he revealed.

Mr. Somchainuk praised the airport's air traffic control tower for the prompt action.

The plane left Bangkok at 00:15 a.m. early Wednesday morning, while the incident took place at 11:59 a.m. Wednesday (local time), he noted.

The acting THAI chief said that the national airline's aircraft did not seek an emergency landing, and that the accident was a normal incident of the internantional airline business.

"The plane is new, equipped with modern technology and high safety standardized systems," he affirmed.

THAI, however, has cancelled its TG982 flight--the return flight of the TG981 flight--earlier scheduled to leave the Melbourne International Airport at 04:20 p.m. and arrive at the Bangkok International Airport at 10:40 p.m. Wednesday.

"All passengers are requested to fly to Bangkok via the THAI's TG980 flight instead, leaving the Melbourne International Airport at 00:15 a.m. Thursday (local time) and arrive at the Bangkok International Airport at 08:30 a.m.," said the acting THAI chief.

It is pretty safe to say that now that the politicians have made ALOT of money they feel full (of themsleves) enough to start putting out stupid laws, maybe the partys, foreigners and money should travel on to a different province? Then they will say "KIssing by foreigners IS allowed, come back and BRING YOUR MONEY! LOL ....so dumb!
