The graffity is written in Turkish language, and as the Turkish language is about only known by people of geographical(!*) Turkish origine...

Alas, it seems no TV poster reads Turkish, to tell us what the words, really, mean. Knowing what s...t Google can make out of a few words translated from/to Thai...

The signature (like a capital 'A' enclosed in a circle) at the underside of the graffity rings a bell though, I remember having seen it quite some time on the walls of European cities, but I can't 'situate' it at the time. Would it possibly have something to do with Kurdish movements fighting against Turkish occupation //for an independent Kurdish state...?

(*) 'geographical', because there are many ethnic minorities living on the territories controled by the Turkish ethnic group and commonly called Turkey, having little or no rights or freedom to live according to their ancestral customs, or to be educated in their original language, only Turkish being allowed...

The sign A in a circle always used to mean Anarchy back in the days of Punk rock at the end of the 70s/ early 80s......

So he tied himself to a pillar underwater, a feat in itself, & then cut his throat? I'd love to see someone try to reconstruct it... Do they think that everyone are total idiots? or are they so full of their own self-importance that they really don't care?  Maybe both...  

Surprise, surprise...  

Don't get it elgordo, don't see a relevant topic, I agree with Centrum it would be good to have a pinned topic on this.....

Do need to upgrade my helmet when I have some spare cash though

I wish that those figures applied for teachers...  Not much chance of the government following its own laws if they can get them cheaper though is there... 

I wish they would turn them on at dusk or when its raining, the main problem is that they are convinced that turning the lights on drains their battery, of course they pay no attention to farangs telling them that it doesnt,  maybe a national TV campaign might help.....

In a real court they'd have a hard job proving this, but here....

So making money from the deaths in the tsunami? Didn't they make enough out of the donations after the event? Despicable...  TIT

The saga continues......

Tragic, so sad for Mum & baby, I have no words for the father.....

No, had mid life crisis in the UK sold everything, got divorced, came here 6 years ago winging it. Am now happily married again, still here & still winging it....

Oh dear, they just can't help themselves can they....

As they rub their hands together at the thought of all the money that will come their way...  

Happy new year...

Yeah right.....  

More BS  

Awful, a family ruined through sheer stupidity...  TIT 

Bloody ridiculous, the only decent painkiller left that you can get easily here, you can only get ordinary opiates after lining some pharmacist or Doctors pockets, what do they expect poorer people to do take paracetamol? keep this up and the Opium trade is gonna start to make a comeback , idiots.....

And how long will this forum remain open? My guess is not much longer, as the owners could be prosecuted for any negative comment deemed arbitrarily damaging to the country's (junta's) image.

I think we should be OK for a while longer anyway, purely because it's in English which the vast majority can't read, were it in Thai it probably would have been shut down years ago......

Now here is a more specific question : Next month I'll be arriving at night at MoChit busstation . I want to stay there 'till the morning busses start driving ... will I get robbed there with my bags ?

Stay in the lighted areas & you will be safe enough....

OK thanks everyone...

Didn't see it I'm afraid, I'll have another look...

Hi there,

 I need to download a copy of this or whatever it's been replaced with form, I know it's on here somewhere but I can't find it or get the forum search to work so could Admin provide me with a link to it please?

 Thanks

I'm always amazed how dumb Westerners are who come to Thailand do pot, cocaine, yaba whatever....  

 

it's a death wish, and there is no age limit on stupidity.

 

But when the person spends all day drinking, chasing bar girls, worrying about money, i can imagine this is a gateway to worse stuff.  definitely not better stuff.  

Talking of stupidity, this is Cambodia, not Thailand....
