AIRCONDITIONING and No T.V.; & no stopping off at a 5 star hotel for a meal with all the trimmings...it appears they powers that be have over looked some items...

You don't believe that people, guilty of a crime or not, should be treated as human beings then?

But they were treated as human beings before they got there, and they also had the free choice to behave like human beings before they got there, as well as the free choice to not hang around the criminal type (in the event they think they are innocent) before they got there.

Why should their life be made any easier for them after they lose their right to exercise what they should have exercised before they got there? Did they earn the right for air conditioning on the basis that they should be treated like human beings after the facts? Isn't that sending mixed messages?

Moreover, not having air conditioning is not life threatening.

So what you are saying is that it would be ok to introduce non air conditioned transfer busses in places like Australia and USA since prisoners are useless scum anyways ?

Black fumes comes from the buses,old trucks and old lorrys not new cars and trucks

And every third Car is a Taxi with no passengers

Drug Maufacturers & Dealers are the Ultimate lowest form of human life . IMO

They are Murderers by slow Death . I have seen much of the end result.

I agree with Malaysia - Da Da means Death

The worst part is that they will be replaced almost immediately , the profits are too huge to ignore.

If this has saved just one person becoming an addict it is priceless. Well done to all involved.

Just out of curiosity, what is your opinion on the Bankers who stole the worlds money, how many people did the Bungee without the cord because of them?

I am sorry but just an attempt to justify this situation is a discrace, there is no excuse for the the lowlife scum NOT to be in jail from day one. If we still want to be known as a turist paradise in the future then now is a good time to show the world what justice is. The people who thinks this is a attack on the tourist industry are the same causing harm by trying to hide and deny cases like this.

The comments from officials are for many tourists a severe case of CROSSING THE LINE on how NOT to handle a RAPE case.

Guess what drug cause the MOST DAMAGE to families around the world....by far.....ALCOHOL

So where is the difference?

TAX the sh... out of everything that causes harm,GUNS included.I bet you the result would be greater than the so called wars against this and that,which have no positive affect at all.

Do they speed limiter in the buses and trucks here, like they do in Europe. If not maybe it is about time to get it installed along with a recording device so we can can get rid of the yaba smoking idiots in the right lane who have absolutely no respect for people's lives.....and yes that goes for the drivers of the minibuses too......

Not a lucky draw?.....you got to be lucky not to receive a bunch of spam mail after you give them your email address......

So the two cases we have had here in Korat are fiction? Try tell the family that.....

Quote from the Top Gear home Page about the Chevrolet Cruze "cheap car, cheaply made" kind of says it all. Be careful when buying cars from a company in ressesion ods are they are trying to save a lot on production costs

Ignoring overstay penalties! I don't think so, last time I was leaving on the 00:05 flight I went through the immigration before midnight on the last day of my visa but still got charged for overstaying because the plane was leaving after midnight.It all depends on who is sitting behind the counter, there is no point arguing with the immigration staff if you do you can be sure to get a remark in your file.

Deposit at factory in Chiangmai.....30%, shipping agent pays the balance when they do the pick up, you then pay the shipping agent.

Use local shipping company in Chiangmai, Thai Exports Ltd. are among the cheapest. They will take care of your goods and paper work all the way to Canada very you get a clearing agent to do the rest.

40ft container is the way to go in order to keep the shipping cost per item as low as possible.

Allow for 1 to 2 month fabrication time depending on the size of the manufactor.

Transhiping is the only way, no direct route to Canada can compare cost wise.

No need for visa except the one you get when entering the country as a tourist, no need for work permit since you will not actually be making money in Thailand.

Kasikorn Bank will let you open a privat bank account, beware it is very difficult to transfer money out of Thailand yet very easy to transfer into the country.

Hope this is helpful

Thank you for the many laughs...

Nice to see some Thai officials losen up a bit....keep it up

Also a discussion on reducing poverty! I wonder how much it costs to have 150 stay at the Marriott ?

The author of this article left out a lot of key details in his anti-American rant. For 1 NASA is a civilian agency and part of its task is to study world wide weather. Secondly the UAV's (drones) he was referring to are mostly controlled via satellite from an air force base in Nevada. There is no advantage to moving that capability here. Third, the US Department of Defense does tons of humanitarian work world wide especially disaster relief. If my memory serves, most of that disaster relief in the last 20 years or so has been in Southeast Asia so it would only make sense to ask Thailand (the US's oldest ally in the region) about setting up some space in a little used corner of the country.

How naive can you be.....it is all about US control of the region, nothing to do with humanitarian relief that is just the cover....

Why the need to install weaker batteries? Everybody else want stronger ones!
