  1. I use Chrome and for me the IE spoofers didn't work.

    Using the spoofer, the whole site was jumpy and sluggish.

    I managed to get through to the first page but the security code at the bottom of the page didn't seem to register even though it was correct.

    On a further attempt (of many), the code was accepted but I was faced by a blank screen and the second page never appeared.

    Only when I changed browser to Internet Explorer, after getting round the security warning, was I able to complete both pages and get the Pending screen.

    However, there was a problem when I clicked the link to print the page, the security warning would not allow printing. I had to save to my computer then open in order to print.

    A bit of a fiddle to complete the process compared with the previous successful report where the IE spoofer worked.

    I had the same issue with printing the completed form... however the way to do it is:

    after submitting your form hover your mouse over the "print symbol" right click & then click print from the drop down box

    mine printed as normal

  2. 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 !!

  3. 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

  4. 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 !!

  5. 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 !!!!

  6. 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.
