If a taxi doesn't want to bring me where I want or wants a fixed price, I leave the back door open and walk away to the next taxi

Works well, especially in rain cos they get soaked hehe

Sounds a little dangerous

Look on the bright side, farmers can convert their reward points to air miles.

Do they have to agree if they don't use them they are signed over to a certain lady ?

Wow, the DSI are quick off the mark with this one, but suspiciously slow to do anything about Thaksin . . . wonder why . . . ?

There's a Latin expression Festina Lente - to make haste SLOWLY

Yingluck needs to be very carefull.

The only reason she is in power is because her brother made a big difference in issan with improved infrastructure and the like, since he went this has all but stopped in certain areas.

Do not upset the natives I would suggest.

The early Post is reporting she promised a 4 lane road in the area etc. WHEN the infrastructure budget is sorted out.and handed out credit cards to farmers so they can get themselves deeper into debt.

Here we have a guy who has a vehicle fitted with bullet proof glass for a reason but he walks around alone without personal security. Why? Anyone else notice the impact point on the glass. It is in the bottom left hand corner. You are hardly going to you target there as the seat was probably forward as Thais are shorter and need to reach the pedals. Rounds would probably of completely missed their target and gone into the rear.

If they catch this guy a good defence lawyer will argue that his client only intended to scare his victim, that is why he didn't take him out prior to getting into his vehicle and why he fired into the bottom left hand corner of the window instead of more central where the main body mass would have been.

Why not take him BEFORE he reaches any sort of cover even a tin box pick up, bullet resistant glass or not, and any delay and the vehicle is moving ? Like your points

Since he has bullet proof windows, he must have some idea of who is after him.

Ha Ha, perm any one from a large choice ?

Now we wait for the BIB and multiple choice motives. Can Chalerm get his red nose into this one ?

There are " good " whistle blowers and " bad " ones and the media are often complicit in which title is to be used but often don't make up their minds until they see how public and political opinion is going.

The Thai media isn't the most decisive or investigative probably with good reason.

What is a "bad" whistle-blower?

The only definition I can think of would be a whistle-blower that is lying.

I agree with the idea that it's what the media especially makes them out to be.

Believe what the military says at your own risk. 2006 - "There will not be a coup!"

If ever one was brewing !

Ill fitting uniforms indeed. A weird phenomenon considering Thailand is the hub of Indian tailors.

There's the very, very expensive Sam's in Hong Kong and there's no shortage of certain Thais heading there.

Everybody standing awkwardly. trying to save face, trying to ignore the ELEPHANT in the room.

Maybe the photographer should have suggested taking the shot again and this time " with sincerity ".

Now she's actually head of Egypt is there an overseas visit on the cards ?

No wonder this country is so divided . . . no one can agree on anything . . . and it seems Academia (for the most part) don't want to be seen to be disagreeing or criticising anyone with influence.

You said the magical words " anyone with influence " and it will never change.

I don't know what the fake shock is all about. As if anyone didn't know that TS was interfering in the country's affairs.

The thing that really shocked me was this...."Some red-shirt scholars may also want further clarifications"

The red shirts have scholars..!!!!

Products of Thai higher education ?

We will not have long to wait for a full explanation as the government is noted for being honest and up front about everything.

I hope you are being facetious.

Most Definitely !

3 months plus 3 plus 3 plus. Give it to the DSI

These have been the same problems for 70 years or so....

It would be nice if the PM participated more too instead of hiding overseas at every opportunity

Does she know where the Parliament is or is there a mall nearby ?

Are they not under instruction from Dubai to sort amnesty out...Fast ?

Thai politics is all about cronyism an a..e licking and the Defence Ministry spokesman is in with the best of them.

Yingluck doesn't have a hold on anything other than her handbag.

36% said Yingluck would improve the performance of the Defence Ministry, so it's on on her travel itinerary then ?

I keeping with the headline they were all seen boarding a 509 bus under the direction of the Minister of Transport.

This man is a complete and utter joke and a total liability. Just how does he survive and you can interpret " survive " as you see fit ?
