"How would it be to report it directly, take a rape kit and jail the perp?" Are you new here? Do you have any idea how the police here spend their time? (I won't say work). Rape kits? Do you think they'd be processed? Huge number in USA aren't, fwiw I personally know a woman who was raped by her father, had to give birth due to Texas type laws against abortion. Passed child off as her brother Father was given choice of prison or becoming a monk. which may explain why there are so many deviant monks

Perhaps if the editors of these bits put more useful summaries of salient points, we wouldn't have to go to original story to figure out what went down. Thinking of times articles include 2-3 lines taking up addresses, chang wats, all sorts of tosh that doesn't matter unless you want to go rob a house

And when I awoke I was alone This Nok had flown So I lit a fire Isn't it good Norwegian wood

"...the constitution says that opposition leader must be an MP and a party leader,..." hmmm okay, "the leader must be a leader..." makes sense after a fashion.. but why does opposition have to be an MP? Shouldn't that be up to the opposition who they choose? Look at the USA: loser Donald Trump is head of Republican party, and....uh... um... er." Okay, never mind. should have to be an MP.

Don't heads of state usually stay at some form of gov housing? 10 Downing Street for UK, White House for USA? Trump stayed there even tho he called it a "dump". Sacrifice for his nation. Or he can stay at his joint, but no motorcades: the leaders should have to face what the average Thai faces in traffic. That would get government attention real quick!

Reminding those who say we pay no taxes here: the 7% VAT gets us all the time And those who think taxes pay for police protection "not getting mugged"(really? how about traffic violations, shoddy building crumbles, electrocution, etc), don't most of them live off of "fees" collected by the cops.

where can they get a "qualified electrician"? Are any licensed & tested here? I've never heard of nor seen one

There was the Pan Am bomber (killed 270 people) jailed for life in UK, then released in 2009 on "compassionate grounds" as it was thought he was dying of cancer, tho given a life sentence. He died 3 yrs later in 2012. Got a hero's welcome in Libya, I recall....

Thai tourism touts they want to be a high standard, wealthy tourist destination... so they open the floodgates to the Cheap Charlies who would scrimp on a visa so they could buy an Omega watch? Does not compute. Like above poster says, why not open to everyone, not just Chinese?

I had a ten baht coin in my left pocket and felt poor. But I traded for two 5 baht coins, one for each pocket, and now I really am rich and can stimulate that economy!

The "result" the powers that be hoped for (and got) last time was massive kick backs on junk tablets The current proponents are no doubt hoping for a similar result. Learning has little to nothing to do with the scheme BTW love the photo: students looking at books, not tablets...

Any constitution worth a darn includes means to amend, but these plods are too stupid to know that. Next they will claim that voting is a method to overthrow the government and must be stopped

A miss is as good as a mile

There is no "there" there. They are depending on limited attention and intelligence of American populace to maintain this craziness. "Where there's smoke there is generally a smoke producing device" -JFK

But it does to make meth, which just may be their major export Meth lab busted after big electricity bill

China will give Senator Tuberville (R-Alabama) a hero medal for blocking confirmations of heads of 3 branches of services besides huge numbers of generals and admirals. Remember Stalin's problem after he executed 100's of his generals in WW2? Tuberville is the same sort of lunatic

The Republicans are architects of their own downfall: by gerrymandering and making districts "election proof" (near impossible for demo to win), they also ensured that if far right got in, there wouldn't be enough to get them out. Attempts at sanity and/or moderation candidates get tossed out in primaries.

If you are going to do an advert/promotion, the ethical thing to do would be to label it as such

I always try to schedule my murders towards the end of the party. Less mess to clean up & gets people to stay longer

How about promoting energy conservation as opposed to more generation? Major savings could be had if there were regulations regarding how cold air conditioning can be. Malls, offices, theaters: the temp is so low one needs a jacket or blanket. I can only take 15-20 minutes in some malls... Maybe 15 yrs ago I read a study regarding energy savings, and the numbers were huge. Sorry I don't have it anymore to share....

Sad that none of the propositions included "Have police patrols enforce drunk driving laws" Or did I miss that?

Death at age 82 is not what I would call "untimely" unless you reckon he lived longer than average. RIP mate

Photos of criminals here are pixelated up the whazoo, but some guy trying to avoid getting killed by cops and cartels: nice photo. Had his mask on, but enough of the rest of face to ID.

Must make a note: "If I need medical help, get a taxi. Never call for an ambulance if you know what's good for you"

and so here you are, discriminating as a nation status rather than race, and you are fine with that! Hypocrisy at it's finest. I've been all over the world and I've yet to go to a country without some sort of discrimination
