I can do that, but I'm in Chaiyaphum province...

When I go to Vientiane via Nong Khai I park my bike in the car park right next to Thai customs at friendship bridge, should work for cars/pickups too, free & so far anyway no problems, hopefully no one will nick it as with a Thai plate on they'd probably assume it belonged to one of the customs officers, of course fingers crossed that one of the customs dont nick it lol....

Would like to see the judges' rationale on how they arrived at the verdict.

Easy answer, The beloved leader said that they were guilty so therefore.......

the verdict was decided when Prayuth publicly declared that he had looked at the evidence and they were guilty.

The leader of a country publicly declaring such a thing may be seen as a complete and utter farce in most countries, could even be submitted as reason to declare a mistrial, but hey, there ya go.

I'm afraid I have got to agree with Condo, there is no way that the judges are going to risk the head honcho losing face, I'm sure that they'd think that it might be very unhealthy for them....

NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMPROVED????

mind you, not only the fishing industry.

Upcountry & City karaoke brothels serving 99,9% to Thai customers, are full of girls and women from Burma, Laos and Cambodia. Has anyone ever dared to ask them if they are in these establishments on their own will ?

The "BIG FOUR G's" is where the money is being made in Thailand, and that's where the brown envelopes learn to fly, not the pigs.

Girls, Ganja, Gambling, Guns

You are there to see it?

It hasn't been Ganja for a looong time..... Try Y for YABBA, otherwise known as Crystal Meth in some form or other.....

Go to one of the many massage shacks along the beach, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for...

The government says its not fair we are dealing with it... Until the world sees Fishing boat Captains & owners, factory bosses & owners actually being put on trial & yes, shock, horror, Jailed... No one anywhere will believe you.....

Guess what? It wont happen... so here come the sanctions...

Achievements????

I did this at Nong Khai once a couple of years ago, never had a problem but I could have just been lucky, I could imagine that if you had a "on the ball" customs officer he would have used it as an excuse to screw some money from you or even conceivably not let you back in....

Ive seen this & often wondered at it, I read what might be the answer on another thread the other day. Apparently the road contractors get paid by the km repaired so they can repair a good road much quicker, & make more money, than repairing a bad bit, & this being Thailand probably no one checks up on what the contractor has done as the boss & the gov officials involved are probably buddy buddies down at the local golf course anyway... TIT

What gas station? Did he get the cop's information? Why didn't he go to the media and police after? Would be nice to take the police to the Yaba he discarded, go to the police station to the get the surveillance and arrest the attendant who is pumping the gas, then arrest the police officer? Would be nice to see someone do something for a change.

Sounds like a good way to virtually guarantee something even worse happening to him, your not in Kansas here.....

Everyone has already made the point that I was going to make, the farmers could fund their opium addiction very easily as they all grew it, but how do they fund the replacement addiction to Yabba & who is all that money going to? I'm sure we all know the answer to that one but best not mention it on here...

I always wonder why government can't subsidize farming supplies more instead of handing out cash or rice schemes that end up in corruption.

The answer to that is simple, its the government & their cronies who make all the money from the corruption....

It might be a good idea if the students were taught to read & write English properly before they tried learning computer code, I'm sure code isn't written in Thai...

And virtually the whole of the rest of the population playing the government lottery, but thats OK because its money going into the trough...

Makes me laugh, given the amount of corruption in this country what are the odds of the gov. lottery not being "fixed" anyway???

Lower by 80%?

What are they going to do? ban cars in Thailand???

Incidently, In the group of 3 little villages I live in up in Isaan, 6 people have died of "natural" causes so far this month, thats out of a population of maybe 8000, they seem to drop like flies up here, but this is a lot higher than usual....

As a matter of interest, does anyone know whether the standard worming tablets that they sell at pharmacy's & clinics all over Thailand kill Liver fluke?

And if not, is there a pill that does?

I transferred a similar amount from a Kasikorn sub branch right out in the sticks to my bank acc in the UK a couple of month ago & there was no real problem,

it was slow as the sub manager had to phone his main branch to get a walkthrough on how to do it, but it wasn't a problem,

I think that you get the best rate letting the Thai bank convert it into Pounds Sterling first before sending as the UK banks will rip you off more on the exchange rate.

Cheap & good contractor is a contradiction in terms in Thailand mate..

Any contractor who is "good" are working for decent money in Bangkok or other cities in the South,

the rest are anything from cheap to expensive & like any cowboy builders anywhere will tell you that they can do whatever you want them to Mai Pen Rai, & then proceed to F*%k it up, rip you off etc...

If you pay peanuts, you get Monkeys, unless your luck & Karma is extremely good.....

Well done Cuba, the last 50 years must have been one hell of a struggle with that array of sanctions from your "friendly" neighbourhood superpower...

This has nothing to do with conservation & everything to do with moneymaking, there are getting to be fewer & fewer nice spots in this country where you can go for a hike or a picnic without getting ripped off by some Thai in a uniform...

We do not want smart people giving opinions. We do not want alternative ideas flooding the brains of our people, especially not young smart people who just might start thinking independently.

Great way to move the country forward into the 21st century. Lets just keep the population dumb enough to be led like sheep.

Never met a smart red-shirt. All the smart Thais I know are anti-red shirt.

Why would a smart person support Thaksin + Pheu-Thai ?. They only stand for corruption.

The smart people stand for reforms ASAP and a government from free and fair elections.

No need to ask which camp you fit into.

I do wish you'd change your name, You're an embarrassment. Why not go for something more suited to your twisted logic, I think "JohnOfBedlam" has a nice ring to it

Being English I utterly agree with you Grumbleweed, this guys views are just an embarrassment to the name English, I've a funny feeling that he isn't though, I think maybe "agent provocteur" might sum him up better...
