in one year Thailand's  economy will be devastated and there will be huge huge increase in severe poverty, how do they expect all those people to keep all those hotels, resorts, from going completely broke 

and all those people dependent on the tourist dollar from sinking into severe poverty

your cure is far far worse than the disease 

good bye Thailand

your political leaders do not understand economics, you can not turn off and on a economy like a light bulb

i agree been there many times

I wish my country would do something about all the illegal immigration, try to immigrate here (USA) legally. By letting illegal immigrants stay here they insult all the people who come here legally.

do you really trust her? If this is in her village you are really giving her the land no matter who's name it is in, if she wants you gone you leave and you will never be able to sell the land, remember your the foreigner no matter what she tells you

I might need a divorce, at the moment i am out of the country and do not plan on returning soon, can I give a attorney power of attorney to file and sign for me

After 4 years in LOS I moved back home to The USA, if I want to vacation I will head south to the Caribbean or Mexico, cheaper better beaches cleaner water, better diving

so far i have not been able to get the bank transfer thru NYC branch to my account to work, even afar repeated calls and having family call the branch in NYC

next step talk to a lawyer, get a prenup, make sure when you get divorced your covered, because you will get divorced and then she will take everything

Starting the divorce process, can the wife just take everything out of the house, and how do you stop her

as long as Rosewood is Ilegal to own the price will go up, let people plant and harvest this crop, make it Legal except to harvest in protected forests. Watch the tree's then grow

thank you for the help

because I want to build a off set smoker,it is what we use in the states, and what wins all the Bar B Q competitions.

I want to have a Bar B Q pit made to my specs, but seems all the 2 welders I have found can not do, lol. Any one know of a good welder who can follow simple plans

i watch american football at umbrella bar in Mae Nam ,

unfortunately this will take time, I worked as a volunteer during the Tampa bay massive oil spill, they never did clean it all up.Did not even come close, all the environmentalists said Tampa bay would die and all the fish were poisoned. But mother nature did clean it up, it took about a year for all the traces of oil were completely gone. Worked during the Valdez oil spill hauling out supplies to workers mopping up oil off rocks, they never got half of the oil due to accessibility, and the shore was all rocks. Workers spent 10 hours a day wiping rocks and every time they picked one up oil would seep up from the rock below. But mother nature cleaned it all up in about a year and there is no more oil from the spill. Oil is a natural byproduct of the earth and natural oil seeps account for most of the oil pollution in the oceans, microbes will eat the oil. And in a while no trace of this spill will be found. see attached link. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=gulf-oil-eating-microbes-slide-show

I prefer draft singha, it is a different tasting beer than bottled Singha, Also it is always fresh as a keg will only last about 14 days till it start to go off. Fortunately a kegs lifespan in my bar is about 8 to 10 days.

I have seen a industrial accident in every country that has any industry, the Thai response is as good as any countries. the beaches can be cleaned, the wild life will survive. Mother nature little friends microbes will eat the oil in the ocean, and in a short time this will all be a memory, as long as the response teams keep working and get the resources needed.

you really think all accidents are caused by drugs or drinking, seen plenty of accidents in the good ol USA with all there rules, regulations, traffic stops, cameras, etc. Life is full of risks and dangers, I just do not need a government nanny state to protect me and give me the false illusion of safety. If you want freedom there are risks, if you are un able to handle the risks that go along with not living in a police state go back to England or some other nanny state.

I would be a lot more concerned about the sewage problem on all 3 islands way before worrying about a oil spill. So greenies how about tackling that problem first.

LMOl the nanny staters are having a fit, when I grew up our car had no seat belts, we were taught not to open a car door while it was moving, my parents smoked in the car,and we used to ride in the back of a pick up all the time also, and Me and my sisters lived, and so did all the children I knew,

teach your children to be safe.

poor girl, was this her first van ride? She was never taught not to open the door in a moving vehicle, now the nanny staters will attack

As a american I like not living in a police state great change from the USA, and I also like living in a non nanny state I do not need big brother to hold my hand, I do not need some one to tell me how to handle taxi drivers, I stay away from jet ski renters so no problem there. I wear a helmet so no problem there, I have a bar follow the rules pay my money and no problems, better protection than the police back home.

My only complaint is the sewage, when you fly in there is a green ring around the island from the algae, and when it rains the raw sewage pours onto the beaches from the drains, that hurts business. Other than that no problems.

if this were to be implemented all i can say is it would be a giant scam, go to a private hospital and billing would say not covered by forced insurance,
