The fact that police have been transferred for not doing their jobs is significant.
Transferred for 30 days.... makes it rather "insignificant"
-
The education ministry invests millions of Baht to increase the English proficiency in Thailand & this is the best they can come up with !!
No-wonder Thai children are struggling to string more than 3 words together !!
-
Should have checked the grammar of the English segment on the sign before publicising it to the whole nation, once again advertising the low level of English language knowledge within the University concerned !
Hope that was just a test sample & not one of a bulk order ^^

from the FBI website ..posted for the Thai Police as they obviously dont know:
"International terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:
- Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
- Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
- Occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.*
"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:
- Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
- Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
- Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.
* FISA defines "international terrorism" in a nearly identical way, replacing "primarily" outside the U.S. with "totally" outside the U.S. 50 U.S.C. § 1801©.

Sir/Madam whilst I agree entirely with the above statement, may I remind you that THIS IS THAILAND
Which means:
Normal rules, regulations & most of all COMMON SENSE does not prevail...
The only thing that can prevail at all costs is the tourism industry,and as such the word "TERRORISM" has been removed from the dictionary !!

What can i do about my swimming pool over flowing
drill a hole in the bottom (somewhere in the deep end) ^^

A miracle indeed to witness this spectacle during daylight hours...
more of a miracle is that amongst all the video footage not one traffic accident was recorded !! -

I read the headline " British man rescued from manhole" and thought this was going to be another tacky "ladyboy" article
then I saw the pic..
so I won't make a "crack" about it.. (pun intended)
but seriously... back to the hole. no twig poking out to offer a warning.. tut tut.. standards are really dropping in the Big city

Lady boy, a tom boy, sound like the beginning of a bed joke... I wonder what they do in bed when
they're not busy robing people...
The nice ladyboy probably just reads a soothing bedtime story to the "Tom" as she's just a "minor"

Who just happened to know where to get 3KG's of explosive?
If you ask enough people it's not hard to believe you will eventually find a supplier.
Or pay the right price !!

it is sure he is muslum and this is relate to a terrorist attack.
Great work associating a bomb with an act of terror! And how do you know he is Muslim?
Why also is this article still throwing around words like Arab? didn't we get told to stop reading International news on account of misinformation?
He doesn't look at all like an Arab.
He doesn't have to be an Arab to be helping the Arabs, he doesn't have to be "Muslim" to be helping the Muslims...
In fact he/they don't have to belong to any ethnic minority to help another minority!!
He/they might not even be domestic or international terrorists!!
He/they could be "pissed-off Thai people smugglers" who are out of pocket ??
At this stage of the investigation you count everything "in" and count "nothing" out !!
-
I don't care what colour they are, what they're intentions are, they are murderers pure & simple !!
Planting a bomb to maim and kill Thai nationals plus foreigners to harm the economy, halt tourism.They think this is in the best interest of their "cause" whatever that maybe.... pure madness !!!!
Who the hell wants these people back in power I really don't know... but I think any sane Thai person would rather have the recent peaceful times than go back to street warfare!!A bomb on the street is a shot in the foot !!!!

100,000baht in a wallet?
How do people misplace such things? If I had 100,000baht while backpacking through Thailand, it would be in my butt.
maybe his "butt" was already stuffed full with his gold & jewels ??
just a thought ^^

Oh not again. I hope they are ok.
I’d say that was a bit on the optimistic side!!!

Seems her days of mourning are well & truly over, when it comes to hard cash the true character kicks back in !!

Some of these bars & restaurants I have a measure of sympathy for as they run a tight ship as far as underage drinking & bad behaviour is concerned.
However there are some establishments that plainly open up as near to Schools, Universities & dormitories as they can specifically to target the adolescent drinkers.They claim they are a restaurant as a primary business but in reality that is secondary to the drink and music side of the venture,
Most pumping out overtly loud live music until the small hours serving drinks to anyone who has the money to pay without a care about age or behaviour, serving only snacks as apposed to restaurant food.
The ban unfortunately targets the good & bad with the same brush, much better if the BIB let the venues stay open but with frequent inspections, if they're operating within the law as far as drink, age, noise limits & operating licencing certificates permit then let them trade, if they're breaking the law then the venue should be closed immediately & permanently!!
I think that would be fair for the legitimate trader & sensible law abiding consumer.

Truly horrific way to die, her mother must be traumatised to have witnessed this.
I hope the truck driver is found & held accountable for his deeds. -
In a certain American university you can now choose between 6 Gender identifications when you enroll....
I can excuse Thailand this mistake.. -
Relocate Bangkok to Beijing, save all that infrastructure!!!

I wonder if the souvenir will be a bottle of clean fresh un-salty water ??

Puget is the land of fugitives and scum from around the world. It will never be the place it was 30 years ago.
Note for my book:
Don't go to Puget !!! (where is that)???
