  1. He let his insurance lapse so it's the tourists fault?.

    Amazing Thailand.

    Stated here that the accident happened 5 minutes after being rented....

    Did someone cancel the insurance? and pocket the money. How else could the insurance have lapsed when Customer "JUST RENTED and Paid for Insurance"??? Insurance is paid by Customer for coverage of property while in use.... until property is returned!!!

    How deep are the Jet Ski Operators Pockets.... anyway??? Customer has Rental Agreement also a receipt for "PAID INSURANCE COVERAGE" to what they believed was to cover all Jet Ski's rented!!!

    Stupid!!!!!

  2. That sounds like a threat maybe he fears his name will turn up in the raids.

    Maybe he is warning because without his request being complied with.... He would not be enabled to either remove/destroy or alter what would be ultimately be found and confiscated as evidence. Thus having the opportunity to remove any trace of certain Individuals from any involvement..?
  3. "the drivers said they may have to stop service because they cannot afford the cost."

    Then you're clearly in the wrong business. wai2.gifwai.gif

    Beat it.

    ZERO sympathy.

    Maybe the Gas Stations should raise the cost of Benzine for taxis.... Since it "Has Dropped" almost in half... This way the fare increase demanded by the drivers might be a little justified....

    If they get the ok to raise fares.... With lower fuel costs.... Same as double dipping??? where is their justification??

  4. If it is true that the US and the world doesn't properly understand Thainess or the ridiculous concept of 'Thai Democracy', perhaps the Thai government should do better in trying to explain it. The problem of course is that if they did actually try to explain it properly, they'd all be thrown in jail for lese majeste.

    I guess they've got a point when they say this is a unique situation in the world.

    Which is worse? Their explaining "Thai Democracy"?? Or... What happens if you throw mud or drag the Royalty though it by miss using the Trust placed upon you and what your being appointed to PM by swamping it and total disregard. By doing what You want to do... and getting caught. Any Impeachment of a PM also should carry a term for Le'se Majeste....

    Highest Office in the Land... Only filled with final OK from Monarchy... any offense committed in office is or should be labeled "Le'se Majeste"....

  5. IMPEACHMENT...

    Is not the correct charge to be levied with!!!

    The Prime Minister (seems everyone has forgotten) Have being voted to the office, cannot take Office without the approval being granted from the King of Thailand.

    Thus Any Criminal Act committed by the Prime Minister or by their Office is a Legal act of Le'se Mageste!! See Article 112.

    As participating in, having Knowledge of, or any connection what so ever. Would be the same as laughing at the trust given and stomping it in the Mud...

    Anyone who does is Liable for their Actions and those of their Cabinet. Again Article 112!

    Just a note to remove this posting could be viewed to be tied to the above acts... As this Posting is in Defense of the Kingdom of Thailand!!

  6. I Think they will fail trying to Impeach her...

    As Impeachment proceedings apply when person is in office, They can remain in Office after being Impeached, or Impeachment can go farther and remove them. Also be Incarcerated as a result.

    I would believe here in Thailand when the Prime Minister has been ousted for a Crime(s) or as a result of such action it would fall under Article 112...

    To explain... Being the "Boss" when duties are assigned to others to be completed, you are still responsible for the results! In just one case, the Rice Issue this could be classified as Grand Theft... since Billions in Thai Baht are missing. (Would not any action resulting in a Massive Monitary Theft be Classified as "Grand Larceny"???) Try stealing 50 Exotic Cars from their Italian Manufacturer, or the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London... Same issue!)

    ( I will be careful to not name anyone or deface others... ok?)

    But to go further, we have had 2 Prime Ministers removed for Crimes or defacing One of the Highest Office's one can occupy here in Thailand. When they both took the responsibility to fill this Office They were doing so with the recommendation and Bless Of the Monarchy. "Any result of orders that resulted in the breaking of Laws while in this Office would definately be classified as a "Case of Le'se Mageste" After being given the Blessing to Lead Thailand in the World, to dirty this Title would be a slap in the Face!

    In the Case of the Rice issue, against the Farmers, who trusted the promises would be kept. The People of Thailand, who believed their Prime Minister would not defraud them. The Monarchy who had placed them in a Unreproachable Position! This would also include Travelers and Xpats who have chosen to give their trust in Thailand an spend the rest of their life here! We have all been thrown in "Pig Pen..." I am not worried about my family as I have another cheek (Thats fresh thats not been slapped) I can turn. I am VERY unhappy at the way the Monarchy has been treated here!

    Total Disrespect! Laws are Laws, I know this is Thailand and some think they are above... but Not above the Royal Family! There is not enough Police, Military to protect those who choose to drag others though the mud when we join the People of Thailand to protect the Highest Name in the Land! They forget, we are here because of him, if we are Married to Thai National "Bless Him" he's also our King too...!

    Why

  7. Anything gas powered you need a helmet and a license to drive. just read about in hear all the complaining about getting stopped and paying fines. Yes a international drivers permit will work but it is only good for one year. If you are staying here any length of time get your Thai License. Never had a problem when stopped having mine.

    I will correct this statement.....

    The only Gas Powered vehicle that can be ridden/driven without a License either vehicle or drivers is a gas powered bicycle! There are laws you need to insure the bike is in tune with though...

    Must have lights (does not say turn, High been or brake are needed!

    Must have a warning (sound device)

    Must have a mirror

    Must have Peddles that actually work! (In Bicycle mode, you must demonstrate they will propel Bike as flawlessly as a nomal Bicycle!!)

    The one that will get everyone in trouble is it is Manditory to wear a Helmet!!!

    If Police have motorcycle stopped and you pass by him or he sees you without Hemet... "He can let you go and pursue the Bicycle!!" as the fine he is going to collect from you is 100 - 1000 Baht. He can collect from Bicyclist 5,000 - 10,000 Baht!!!

    I have owned both! I have converted to gas powered for several High Ranking Police for their family use.

    If you follow the rules you are rewarded by "No insurance needed, neither License required. As long as you obey Traffic Laws, as they were intended. You will have free use of Local Streets at your disposal.

    A note that helped me when first built one was getting them to inspect at Local Police Headquarters. Many wanted to test and were all smiles afterwards. Many have brought motorcycles and Bicycles to me to offer repair advice. Sometimes I fixed when easy as a offer of Goodwill, I have done this for 50 years now... First started when my friends son brought his Bicycle to Main Airforce Gate and asked for "Uncle David" to help him with repairing... AP at gate knew who I was and had my little friends standby as they located me...

    First time was New Years Eve, 1966....

    Karma!

    If you get stopped.... Remember All ridders must be wearing, not just in possession of... "A Helmet"

  8. Easy, go to your local Immigration Office... They all have an Information Counter...

    Ask for a Extentin of Say form I believe it is a TM 7 form and also ask for list of requirements needed to accompany it to take to Immigration to get New Visa. It is in English and they have it already printed out. but it might be under their counter.

    I have done for many years, I believe your fee is also 1,900 Baht. I know all the temp visa are this amount. Retirement Visa is also. You can get single entry or multiple entry stamps at same time. I believe they are 1,000 and 3,800 Baht also. Getting them at this time saves time if you leave Thailand for any reason.

    (don't have to go to Office if for some reason you need to leave Kingdom for any unexpected reason. I have always carried a single entry for just this purpose. Some I had never used.... But it was just security! Understand?)

    Easy!

  9. If you choose the option in U.S.A. to get a Passport Card...

    1st question: How would you use that here? I think if you go to Post Office that deals with Passports in U.S. they give you an option.

    2nd Question: If you have the Passport Card Option... where do all your Visa's Stamps... go?

    I had thought about using this option as safe to carry! Because as of December 22nd @ Immigration Office in Chiang Mai, Sgt. Major was asked while renewing my Retirement Visa if we still needed to carry Passport everyday on our Person.

    She went to Col. in charge of Chiang Mai Immigration and he personally told me verbally... "Yes" in must be on person whenever we are outside home. You can carry copies of Photo page, entry stamp/Visa, entry card and if 90 day page is attached a copy of it also.... But you must report to Police Office that requested to see, within 24 hrs!!!! Only thing carrying does is saves you from leaving the location you are at when stopped and having to be escorted to Police Office and be detained for an undetermed amount of time.

    As a time saver, I would Carry mine. I donot know how this would work with a Passport Card though....

    I was suggested the Passport Card at U.S. Embassy when I got my Income Verification Certified... So I guess they are aware that it can be used here.

    Just another item... If you go to Bangkok Bank and request a Bank Book plastic sleave... Passports fit inside nicely! Giving them a waterproof cover. I am sure other Banks sleaves will do same as all our bank Books are about the same size. They are tight! bend book and insert they will stretch with the heat in your back pocket... and are free! Just tell them your need new vinyl cover... yours is torn!

  10. They had the DNA samples tested BEFORE they had any real suspects. They were looking for ASIAN suspects on the island. They found two that matched according to what I read. They either have the match or they don't.

    As far as the tortured confession, that should be a separate investigation and if wrong-doing then fire and prosecute the guilty. And throw the confession out if that is found.

    Then forget all this peripheral BS. Lets get it into court. The DNA match is there or it isn't, that's it!

    Let us remember...

    The Bodies of the Victims are and have been in UK long before these 2 Kids were singled out as being guilty. I am sure, without a doubt that Scotland Yard has taken their own DNA Samples and has them secured. Now, to see if what Thailand has is a match! Or what Scotland Yard has... Matches the accused... Otherwise Heads will roll on the International Level. Thus removing all Tourists from it shores as UK uses this as a Case in Point to Red Flag Thailand.

    My Company in USA has already canceled several Million Dollar/Month Trade deals. This is how sure our Thai Lawyers on our Legal Team are sure of total mishandling of this Case. We have already set in motion a Team to deliver Funds to help fund the Defense of the accused. I believe in the Kingdom... Royal Family and Karma! Let it go to Trial and then and only then will the World see the hands and how slight of hand keeps the truth from those above and the people of Thailand. In the end embarassing both if there is indeed some Black Magic trying to be practiced here...

    Like Poker... call their hand!

  11. "He said he did not think the police would dare do such a thing in a high-profile case like this"
    So. that more or less confirms that in other cases it's common practice.

    Only an independent DNA test can prove That police is not lying.

    If that is not allowed observing the thing is useless.

    Could be since the victims bodies are back in UK, they already have DNA samples from so called culprits and victims.... Now to get sampe from 2 that Thai say are confessed killers, and see if there is a match! I believe bodies were sent back to UK be fore they were found, so lets wait and see.

    UK Investigators are 5 Star! If they even get close to Headman on Island they can get DNA from anything he touches, and may already have!

    I am sure they will have proper equiptment needed to do testing without bothering Thai Investigators. (Without Thai knowing...)

  12. A little off topic I know, but I just got to think about it.

    Whatever happened to the size 40 footprint, that in the beginning of the "investigation" was considered an important clue?

    None of the almost "petite" suspects seem to macth a 40 shoesize!whistling.gif

    Size 40 is quite small for a man. Something like Size 6 UK.

    ???

    I wear a size 43 wich is a 10 1/2 USA size.... rethink your size 40 blunder!

  13. Well, for 239 people it did...

    Hawker this is what you think......but i believe the conspiracy.So,for me they land safe,maybe were killed after or even something else happen to them.But that plane never falls apart from the sky in the deep Ocean

    Lol. You say it like I'm the only one... But in tragedies like this the conspiracy theories, and the conspiracy theorists, are inevitable; no question. Yeah, planes do crash, and have crashed, into the "deep ocean". Evidence here of that (even if you don't consider it proof); NO credible evidence whatsoever that it landed somewhere.

    There is also no Creditable Evidence whatsoever that it crashed in the Ocean either... "Nothing has been found... "ANYWHERE...!!"

    So I think everyone everyone can truthfully say that an "Ocean Crash Theory" is just as Creditable as a "Landing Theory" At this point they can be both Labled as Conspiracy Theories!!!

    This I Think can be concidered an Honest Assumption until proven which is correct!

  14. Anybody with two eyes and half a sense can see these two guys are not killers.

    Now, that pic of Mon Set playing with the bilge hose on the boat; check his pecs and shoulder/biceps muscles at the edge of the pic. Pretty ripped, typical of (Thai/SE Asian) men who labor or of course of any young guy who's very active.

    What some of the foreigners posting here don't get is that you don't have to be big to be very strong if your muscles are well-toned. Try arm-wrestling a skinny Thai labourer some time, see how it goes.

    Last, anyone who's spent more than a couple years (like one self-appointed high-count poster who's a self-styled expert on Thailand after….3 years here! in SE Asia can pick out the tough guys pretty quickly if not at a glance. The guys peering over the counter at the 7-11 in the pic--tough guys, definitely. The Burmese guys--no way.

    I've also noticed some posters on these Koh Tao threads with very, very high post counts, like 10-20 every single day for months; a few also have suspiciously similar names and posts (--John-- and similar in case you're curious) and to me come across as shills because they continually either praise the investigation without giving doing much other than parrot the police press releases, or otherwise mis-direct or try derail the thread by making irrelevant comparisons to other countries (as if two wrongs make a right), o badger people who are posting comments critical of this farce I mean investigation.

    I suggest readers of these threads read with a critical eye anything written pro or con the handling of this case; though to be frank in my eyes the cons outweigh the pros 100 to 1.

    Another ignorant i.e. misinformed comment the Thai authorities and some posters have made is that the rape of poor Hannah was due to sexual lust. This just shows they never took criminology 101, though interestingly it plays right into the framing scenario (or is another reason it's ludicrous, so in fact they're actually weakening their case in the eyes of all but the gullible by focusing on it as motive).

    I've seen my share of gore in real life and not much shocks me any more, but the photos I saw of Hannah did. Whoever did that to her is a monster or was drugged up into being one. Brutal, vicious beyond anything short of a beheading; I actually encourage all of you interested in this case, especially the Thai-apologists, to seek these photos out, see for yourself, and then come back here and make word-play about her, David, or these two Burmese guys. Go ahead, disgust me (and no doubt others) more than you have already.

    In my conspiratorial moments I can see this as an action directed either intuitionally or not at many foreigners in Thailand. The comments on the Thai side within days worrying or hoping about the effect on tourism have also disgusted me but also revealed what I've long known about Thailand, since I first started visiting it couple of decades+ back: we are tolerated for our money, at times given respect for our relative wealth/power (i.e. that of our native countries), but there is also a very, very strong current of envy and dislike bordering on contempt for us (and no small part of that is deserved due to the behaviour of many of us in Thailand), and that combination is a toxic one, it can and does lead to violence.

    So open your eyes, folks, this is about all of us. Look at the facts; it would be very good actually for someone(s) to put together an online source of verified information related to the case, as well as a list of unanswered questions, of which there are many. The mantra for all of this should be "never again."

    /rant

    Right On!

    Just maybe.... A Big MAYBE!!

    If P.M. wants to increase Tourism.... Biggest and Best way would be to Not Say when Something happens... People are Murdered! Raped! When it involves Farangs... "It is Tourists Problem, Not Thailands!" Not to blame the way... They were dressed... Not when 98% of the School and College Females Dress as to show they have no Shorts on (Hidden by Their Super Tight Tops) and never once an appology... " Because Hanna did "NOT" was NOT wearing Bikini Swimsuit"!!!! (Sit at any coffee shop and in an hour... how many examples can you take pictures of???) I got 45 on Motorcycles no less... 38 of the Girls Smiled for me also! I do not live in Bangkok, outside Chiang Mai, in a quiet suburban Area...! I was also with two Friends, one a Major Thai Royal Police, the other a Lt. Col. Thai Military. They both agreed after viewing on Computer... "All were more or less seeming to imply Sex in some shape or form." Also against most Thai Schools Dress Codes! But They wear anyway! (Also far more Sexy then any "White" Girl would have been, even dressed the same! Plus this was the reason of all the unmarried Preg. girls under the age of 20. I was told rather then correct the dress, they just made more Condoms available! all 3 of us were discusted at this solution...

    Yet this is still the thought that her dress that night caused the reason for her Death!

    Would be to #1... Invite Home Country of Victims to get Involved ASAP! With any and all investigations!!! Not Say we have it under control.... You are not needed here!!!" PM being from Military, has very little insight into the inner circle and workings of Police Forces in Thailands Provinces... Yes There are some who try to good Job... but that is a Minority! Most have a second income source.... Which should and must be declared and reported, or Officer be dismissed... Either one way or you are no longer Employed, Period! Not get moved to Inactive Post... (Vacaction? at same rate of pay? Easy Street because nothin to do?)

    You are starting to see how Tourists have read between the lines on how the P.M. has invited them... "Thailand wants good!! Tourists... Interpitted to english from Thai thinking... is if you have lots of MONEY... Rich... International Figure... please come... we want you to enoy Thailand!!!

    Mr. P.M. These are the peope who are smart enough to "Not" come here! Why should they feed the crime that seems to be the 2nd most Important Thai Job... in "All" Tourist locations???? Not to say If you come here... You come at your risk... "Not Thailands!"

    This is read this way because in your 2nd breath you stated that we must be careful! You "Did Not" anywhere say that Thailand would Protect us.. Nowhere did you try to impose a sense of security in the minds of future Tourists that they would be insured Thailand... Because they were visitors would try to make sure that while being here they could feel secure...

    All you said was this is Thailand... Rest of the World you cannot come here to protect your people here when there is problem... Only that you would insure Thai People they would be protected from the rest of the world.... ????? You say you are trying to boost Tourism? Think again!! With a mind set such as this you might also be closing the doors on World Trade!!

    If you take a good look at Crime sindicate thinking seems to be seen that From the Boss on down the Mafia Rule Book is also closely related to the thinking here.... "I have Money... Can can kill policeman, leave Thailand and I am protected!" Is it a fact that in Thailand Money is more Powerful then the "Law"???

    My Company in America, used to do Millions of Dollars Trade here each year! This will be our last year to Import "Anything" from Thailand!! Other Companies, friends doing same Business World-wide have asked us for advice... What to do... to continue Trade here. I don't Lie! My answer has been. Study Political Thinking in Thailand... Then you have to make this decision, but yes we have! 100%

    Anyone in control of a Countries future also has the important responsiblity of providing for his or her Countrymen's survival.... I think this has been forgotten here. The common thought is if things are kept quiet no one will get hurt! This is not the 19th Century... It's almost the 21st! It is impossible to hide things now... Yes! Thailand is not MH370! Yes it has not been found! Not everyone has same thoughts to zip-up their mouth... Some people on both sides of the issue also have "Souls".

    You speak from one side of your Mouth you want!!!... But from one side of your Mouth you say... and your Hands sign into Laws a different Story!

    Just so you know we have beenwatching Thai News for a long... time! There are Murders all over Thailand! Over 80% of those killed are not Thai... but Farangs!! Comment from Senior Police Official in that a Thai Person... Could not do this type of crime! Who is there to Blame??? How many Thai Nationals are in Prison for Murder?? How many have Paid (because they can afford!) to make it go away. To go free on some sort of legal technicallity??

    Yes you started on right path... but you need to get back on it! (Change your wornout shoes so asphalt not burn your feet) The correct Path is never... the easiest! Remember that! If it gets easy, climb a tree and take a good look at where you are...! Where you came from...! How you got there...! and correct it!

    I know my Decision on trade will hurt Families, Companies, Single Parents and Children! But it was not my decision that caused this... It was yours!

    Which is better for Thailand?? Mr P.M.!!

  16. <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script>

    British Ambassador Mark Kent told AFP he was meeting with the Thai police, foreign ministry officials and his Myanmar counterpart, without giving further details.

    I will be expecting a Thai official reiterating how happy the British and Burmese embassies are about the handling of this case.

    There are so many ways to obtain real DNA data other than sperm. for one thing there seems to be some struggle so another place needs to be check is under the nails. I think the Thai authorities should be on notice in case they temper with evidence.

    I am still waiting to see if the head man son submit to DNA testing

    If I was Headman's son... I would not touch anything... Drink anyhing... As a photo of him drinking from glass... another photo of Undercover Opperative picking up same glass and tagging Bag... Or Video of whole DNA Retreval being made...

    If he is guilty.... how does he not know UK doesn't already know results??? He he's not the only way to avoid this would be to step-up and be tested... To continue to refuse only digs "Grave" deeper....

    Can Headman be so sure that DNA Sampling has not been done by an ouside Source???? Really Sure????

  17. Amazing how they have only just found her phone. Surely they could have tracked that a few weeks ago

    Not if it was turned off.

    Would anybody be stupid enough to keep it and not use it. It's quite a vital piece of evidence don't u think??

    ??? I thought tere was previous statement from Police that Blonde Hair (part of the recovered Evidence for use to get DNA) was found with her Phone!!! At the time the bodies were discovered!!!
