I should imagine that the main problem is going to be that all these courses on English on the net are going to be written in English on the net, not Thai, so they wouldn't be able to find them in the first place lol

Its some kind of Boletus, the most common European one is the Cep (common name Penny bun) Chopped up & added to stews, Or fried in butter with garlic unless you want it Thai style, in which case cook as Wowgordie's wife suggests....

Tourist safety? Pattaya ? a contradiction in terms surely.....

Well I hope the victims don't get lumbered with the extortionate bill that they'll get from the Bangkok hospital,

still at least they can't have their passports held to ransom until they pay, as would happen if they were foreigners...

How anyone can believe this cheating, lieing, pig ****ing toff is beyond me, as is how he ever got voted in to begin with.....

The question is, will there be any substance to this or will it be quietly swept under the carpet when they realise how much it'd cost? Still maybe its got a chance when they realise how much they could skim off the budget...

Thailand, the country where image is everything, substance nothing.....

BANGKOK:-- Following the raids on the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi PM Prayut has advised Thais not to be gullible and to think things through clearly using their brains and intellect.

Speechless.....

Crewing a friends 46 foot ketch back from the Tenerife to Falmouth via the Azores, Madeira, Spain & France with three others many moons ago.

At the moment I'd like to go on My BMW bike overland from Thailand to India & back when they've finalised opening the route as they're threatening to do....

I thought that SE Asians didn't have the enzyme in their stomach enabling them to digest milk anyway, or is this a urban myth? Perhaps one of our medical exports could enlighten us on this?

Oh dear, my heart bleeds purple piss for them.....

Love her or hate her if an election was held tomorrow she would win in a landslide.

Not that she's got much to beat!

The most amusing (if I dare say so) is that the Junta may delay election for such a long time, that her 5 years ban may be over by then.

Not very amusing for the Thai people to have elections held up for that long is it? with the powers that be committing Buddha knows what acts on them in the meantime

this is so sad, for years upon years this country has had the means and the revenue to pull itself out of the dark ages but instead the powers that be were more concerned with money money money.....safety standards (building control) what is that ? well it would mean we have to spend money rather than stuff it into our greedy pockets, some will try and put the blame on the current government but the reality is that this country for 30 years or more has not developed at all - they just don't know how, maybe they need outside help but left on their own it is a constant failure...........some recent studies have said that the maturity age of the average Thai goes little beyond 13, strangely enough about 10 years ago I posted on TVF that I thought of Thais as children that never matured to adults, it seems I may have been right

here is a quote from another post I made not so long ago

it applies to the general situation regarding safety and standards in this country that quite frankly needs some serious attention

What is wrong here is -

1. greed

2. no safety standards

3. no formal training

4. no enforcement of standards if they existed (need to create and enforce)

They don't understand that these things will continue to happen until measures are put in place to prevent rather than react

Will anything change as a result of this tragedy - nope because money rules all in Thailand

Will authorities create/enforce safety regulations - nope - they seem to be more interested in reading my emails and accessing my privacy...f c of

Will this happen again - 100% certain

Are there Thai words for standards safety and prevention - well there probably are but it means the diversion of money away from where it matters most ...... in their greedy pockets

A first step - create the rules and make it law

A second step would be to make those responsible to pay a heavy penalty with severe punishment for breaking the rules if they existed

Is just saying TiT enough....................................................No, time to waken up Thailand and get with the program, you are a shameful nation of greed and underdevelopment that must end, there is no excuse

A very sad loss of young lives that could so easily have been avoided

R.I.P tear...so sad

Sad to have to say but I agree completely with Smedleys analysis and even sadder is the complete unlikelyness of any change. My heart goes out to all the children and parents involved, and as a Father of a 2 1/2 year old girl if it happened to me I would undoubtedly be looking to find and kill those responsible ...

This sort of talk is being used all over the world encouraged by the Elite, divide and rule, been happening for hundreds of years, pit the masses against each other and theyll not notice what we are doing to them......

That would be good, would be nice not to have that long ride to Khon Kaen.....

Cant wait, what a road trip thatd be on my bike...

send your story to as many newspapers as you can especially in the UK, might do something then expect to be accused of ruining (sic) the Thai goodname

What is the way of sending the story to newspapers in UK? Should I message them on fb, or via e-mail? If via e-mail, 1-2 e-mails would be handy, thanks.

Oh come on....

how difficult is it to google contact the sun/mirror/times/guardian etc...

The best thing I did was move here Id say, my life has purpose & meaning again which it hadnt had for several years in the UK....

if youre British you're probably non domiciled, whatever that means ....

Good to hear, I suspect that there is already a disturbing amount of fake Doctors/surgeons etc. out there already, paid for by mummy & Daddy Hi-so s....

More trash to jail then deport what type of tourist carries a knife on a night out.

Arabs of course, they wouldn't go out without knives since the year dot, what do you think has changed?

The reason why they're doing things like this with no thought or concern is because they're all Yabba (Crystal Meth) addicts... There is a huge problem with this all over Thailand from the bottom to top of society, it is well known for being one of the most addictive drugs as well as turning people completely psychotic very quickly.

So while the police & army are throwing the full weight of the law against Marijuana & Opium, (because guess what? they can't make any cash out of drugs anyone can grow in their backyards) Influential people are making fortunes out of Yabba, Funny how its only ever the small guys who get caught for it...

If you are wondering why Thai society is being destroyed, look no farther,,,,,

The only guarantee when a thunderstorm happens here is that we have a power cut that can last anything up to 5 hours, TIT
