Oh dear. Do you wear a tin foil hat too?

No, do you wear your blinkers all the time?

The next field trip should maybe be a visit to Fukushima.

Yes, they should visit the reactor cores.

IMHO Lead based paint is still about the best for protecting steel. The lead issue is overblown there are people in their 90's who have drunk water all their lives from lead pipes without problems.

I have visions of Chalerm starting a nuclear waste disposal company and being paid billions to just dump spent fuel rods in some concrete shed in the middle of Issan.

Thais running nuclear - pleeasee be realistic..

OK, I will take a deep breath and plunge in with an alternate idea. Why not nuclear energy plant? It is relatively cheap in the long term,

Cheaper in the long run are you kidding?? no nuclear plant can exist without government support regarding waste disposal (keeping it safe for 100's of thousands of years) and insuring the plants. Fukushima will cost the Japanese government 1/4 of a trillion dollars... There is no insurance or re-insurance company in the world that could afford that loss.

if you read my entire post you will note I mentioned new technology, not old...

What new technology? it all dates back to the 50's - oh you don't mean the new GE reactors with a conveniently placed tray to catch the super radioactive permanently molten corium when it has a meltdown do you?

New technology that would be a FUSION reactor

Are special qualifications and licenses required to operate these facilities? In which case where would they find them in Thailand anyway? this way if it goes wrong they can blame the farangs if anything goes wrong.

Yes reactor operators have to pass an international licensing exam, no licenses cannot operate the plant

There were several Japanese reactors running last year with no licenses it was reported in the media & well documented in the Fukushima thread.

Thailand with nuclear energy would be like Homer Simpson running a nuke plant, hell they can't even lay a decent pavement or install safe electrical systems.

They are already running a nuclear reactor.. etc without too many problems

And letting children visit without protective equipment or radiation monitors!!

I was talking to my friendly policeman today. He was saying that the guy is Burmese and he definitely did it.

So there you have it. Case solved!

And who told him his police mates?

Case closed...

The accused:

Thai Rath (Thai)

By the look of this guy I think the Israeli girl would have beaten him up.

A couple of interesting articles here...

http://shakespearest...udrey-belanger/

This article is based on personal opinion not fact, yet more nonsense about chlorpyrifos poisoning.

For the facts on chlorpyrifos check out here:

"So what do you want them to do, not arrest him?? Anyway he confessed, and being a trash collector from Myanmar I doubt he can pay his way out. he's done.

Easy catch or not, they got him good job, guess people will have a moan whatever the BIB does."

They always try to pin a ferang murder on Burmese its their first tactic, always has been right back to the days of Kirsty Jones. BIB are experts at extracting "confessions" without leaving marks.

There are a few ferang Expat electrical contractors who will do a proper install to BS/ Euro standards.

All with earthing/ bonding correct cable ratings and protection etc.

The cost is quite a lot more but at the end of the day...

PM me if you want a contact number - I know of 4 ferang contractors, perhaps others know of more.

As has been mentioned before, we know that DEET is hardly poisonous at all - even people that have tried to commit suicide using it have failed after drinking a good quantity of it!

Another BS BIB story...

So Charoen's bid to buy it was just to jack up the share price so he could sell his shares at a higher price. Not that he was serious in purchasing, or trying to run it.

"A Thai faction in F&N led by beverage billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi had earlier emerged as a potential rival to Heineken but eventually gave its approval to the sale of APB.

Before Friday's meeting in Singapore, Heineken bought an additional 8.6 percent in APB held by Thailand's Kindest Place Groups, also linked to Charoen, for $961 million."

Holy kii. B3 million. That should put a dent in the punk's spending for about..............half an hour.

As toybits says, probably the same as the repair costs to the killing machine.

These characters have no shame.

The car will possibly cost more to fix, I know Hi-So's who fly in a mechanic from overseas to do the work to make sure their classic car investment is kept totally up to standard.

The people who took the video and made sure this pedophile was caught and arrested should be hailed as heroes!

The BIB are in on the underage via older hooker boy minders - just once in a while its more interesting/ profitable to bust a customer. Might be because he only offered 300B - that wasn't exactly going to gas up a Merc now was it?

Whenever i've occasionally seen an underage boy in a bar they ALWAYS have an older boy (minder) near them usually just a few meters away. These guys work for the police either passing on a % and/ or else informing. So anyone who's into underage don't think its going unnoticed because its not!!

so the refugees are at the mercy of the police and anyone else organised in human trafficing, enslavement, illegal workers, ...

No millions of them work legally in Thailand and in fact get longer visas and work permits than ferang do!

Well put! but I think its an F and an F

Thais eat large quantities of refined white rice (starch converts to sugar), cordials for flavouring water with very high sugar content, meals cooked with large amounts of sugar added, restaurants have sugar as a condiment, alcohol etc all of which contributes to causing Type 2 diabetes. The majority of my Thai family aged over 50 have Type 2 diabetes.

I have never heard of health education messages in the Thai media that talks to the risk of high sugar consumption, but Thais are aware of sugar as a cause of Type 2 diabetes (ภาษาไทย), but love sweet food and drinks, Thai phonetic spelling for diabetes - barwann.

Exactly. It's not much about exercise--that's a red herring in the debate. It's all about diet: the sugar, white rice, noodles, and white flour in cakes etc. prompting high insulin levels to drive calories into fat cells. Inevitably, insulin resistance develops, obesity, and diabetes. I'm talking about the average metabolism.

It's almost impossible to persuade a Thai to give up the dangerous carbs.

There was one guy in the UK that weighed about 40 stone (560lbs). He used to drink about 6 litres of coke every day. He stopped drinking it but continued to eat all the other junk food he ate and never exercised. But he lost 10 stone (140 lbs) very quickly just by giving up coke. Sugar is the biggest issue for most people that are obese.

Its now believed in anti-aging community that sugar directly burns the beta cells in the pancreas - not as the medical profession believe that the pancreas eventually just runs out of steam.

There is no underestimating the toxicity of whatever was ingested as it proved fatal.

Whether by misadventure or through the malfeasance of a third party these girls were most likely poisoned though by what route and using which chemical is the question.

As your post indicates it seems the blood vessels broke down - this is likely to be something highly toxic.

Plant based poisons occur naturally but are amongst the most dangerous - if they didn't exist in nature they wouldn't be allowed!!

Most chemicals that are allowed for public use are quite mild.

Neither DEET, methanol nor scopolamine poisoning seem to fit with the poor girls condition when discovered, organophosphate or carbamate poisoning seems possible with the observed state of the bodies when discovered.

Moderately severe organophosphate and carbamate insecticide poisoning cases exhibit all the signs and symptoms found in mild poisonings, but in addition, the victim:

Overzealous use of pesticides?

I think there is a tendency here to over estimate the dangers of commonly available chemicals that the public is likely to come in contact with - this was certainly the case with the CM deaths.

Thanks for some common sense and a bit of scientific logic guys!

My money is still on a plant based poison like Abrin which causes toxicity by inhibiting the formation (synthesis) of proteins in the cells. Resulting in vomiting, vomiting blood, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, bleeding of the membrane in the rear of the eye (retinal hemorrhage), bluish skin, collapse of the blood vessels (vascular collapse), shock, and death.
