So a bike pulls out of a soi with out looking, are you at fault?

I don't get it, how this opens you up.

I believe iot takes about 6 months after the car is collected by the collectors for payment failure to be available to be auctioned off again.

I would have thought that the Nation could spell Chonburi as one word, a bit like Bang Kok .......

Bang Lamung district chief yesterday warned locals in Chon Buri not to use water in a canal in the district for agricultural purposes after authorities discovered some hazardous chemical substances.

Chaowalit Saeng-uthai, the district chief said an aluminium factory had illegally released the chemical substances into the canal. Public health officers were checking samples of the contaminated water before giving more details about the chemical substances.

Six cows were found dead after they had drunk water from the canal on Friday night. The cows convulsed and had froths and blood at their mouths.

The authority is also carrying out autopsies of the cows' bodies to find out the cause of the deaths.

Johnson & Johnson first certified for "sustainable" palm oil procurement

Johnson & Johnson, the world's leading health care company, won the purchasing deal of RSPO certificates under the Book and Claim system* from Thailand's four independent oil palm smallholders' groups, the first in the world to be certified with the RSPO standard. Through the purchase of the RSPO certificates, direct support is provided to small scale farmers and sustainable palm oil production.

Adherence and certification to RSPO Principles and Criteria provides rigorous assurance that palm oil is cultivated and processed in a sustainable and responsible manner. The certification of the first groups of independent smallholders is a major step forward for Thailand's palm oil industry. more The Nation (As skin deep as this newspaper is and incompetent some of their reporters, this may be of interest to Thai Palm Oil farmers)

Well I think that this 3 months project can be classed as a FAIL

Who are the minority share holders of Thai Air Asia?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirAsia

Thai AirAsia (Thai: ไทยแอร์เอเชีย) was established on 8 December 2003 as joint venture with the then known Shin Corporation (now, InTouch plc), a corporation owned by the family of Thailand’s former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra with around 900 million baht in total investments over a five-year period. Flight operations commenced on 13 January 2004 from its base in Don Mueang International Airport. From 25 September 2006 to 30 September 2012, the airline was based at the new Suvarnabhumi Airport. Effective 1 October 2012, the airline shifted all operations from Suvarnabhumi Airport back to Don Mueang International Airport.

Are the Shinawatra family still involved in Thai Air Asia?

I bet these guys sitting out the front of a brothel bar having a beer or two loved being in that photo

Can the cops adjust the calibration on these units so they read higher like this? Hence more bribe money from brutal corruption?

Worse than a war zone , how sad !!!

Yeah it is very sad indeed. It was nice to see a non political article for once as well. I fear that this is a taste of what many other countries will be dealing with in the future as well.

Thanks, yeah it is actually 100% legal for national parks to charge 10 times the amount. It is legal fro the Gov to rob us but is in fact illegal for private companies.

Who are the minority share holders of Thai Air Asia?

I am looking for a copy of the Thai Law which points out it is legal for the Gov to conduct double pricing but illegal for private companies.

Anyone know?

Just fly on SQ and problem solved.

A couple of interesting stories on Richard Burrows blog about the south and it day to day life down there now.

I found it interesting anyway.

Story here and here. Not a political story.

No probs on 3BB in Thailand.

confused

Because it is cheaper than whitening cream and they are addicted to look white.

A plane of the German airline Air Berlin developed problems and had to return to Phuket on Thursday. Flight No AB7425 returned, after an engine was said to have been on fire and the fire had spread to the wing. When the plane landed in Phuket one or more of the tires exploded. All passengers were unharmed and brought to Phuket hotels to wait for a new plane to bring them back. The plane was scheduled to fly from Phuket to Abu Dhabi and then on to Berlin Tegel airport.

Local research into if and how this is related to the Apocalypse are still in the early stage, which is why none of the two English newspapers in Thailand reported this incident,- not even on their respective web site.

"Aviation Herald" and the Phuket News" are said to have further reports...

Runway closed on a major International airport, and the 2 major papers don't report it, Shame , shame shame.

What about Jesus and his imagery friend to save the world ?

A dare to suspect that this end of the world stuff is the same as ghost

What about aircon in schools ?

oh, silly me, you need electricity in schools first, Doh.

Australian regulator files lawsuit against AirAsia

(AFP) – Jan 23, 2012

SYDNEY — AirAsia was slapped with a lawsuit by Australian regulators accusing the Asian budget carrier of failing to disclose the full price of fares on its website.

The Malaysia-based airline, which flies international services out of Australia from the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Perth, with Sydney to be added from April, was named in documents lodged at the Federal Court in Melbourne on Tuesday.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the country's consumer watchdog, claims some fares sold on AirAsia's website do not display prices inclusive of all taxes, duties, fees and other charges.

"Businesses that choose to advertise a part of the price of a particular product or service must also prominently specify a single total price," it said in a media release.

The regulator alleged the fares relate to flights from Melbourne to cities including London, New Delhi, and Hangzhou in China, from the Gold Coast to Ho Chi Minh City and from Perth to places such as Taipei and Phuket in Thailand.

The matter is listed to be heard on March 2 with the watchdog seeking an injunction "to restrain AirAsia from engaging in misleading conduct in the future".

It also wants a court order "that AirAsia publish corrective notices on its websites regarding the conduct".

AirAsia could not immediately be reached for comment. source
