accidently detonated it ???

Deliberatly hitting an explosive with a rock doesn't sounds like an accident to me.

some peoples just stick with the plan. To stuborn or lazy to ask questions.

Last y in my company they were installing a plaster wall what needed to be placed in line with the excisting wall.

Even i could see the new one was installed 5 cm out centre even when he started to mount the profiles.

The constructor kept building until it was finished, then go ask the architect if that was normal.

So he teared down the wall again and rebuild: he could charge extra work to the company.

His latest recordings were a trilogy,

Praise and blame , 2010,

Spirit in the room, 2012,

Long Lost Suitcase, 2015.

Thank you very much for updating me. To be honnest i think i never heared  about this records in my country. Last listing of Tom i could find in our top 40, was in 2009.

Nice to know he's ok again.

Hope he will be here alot longer. Love it when he spontaneous start to sing on "the voice" or so.

Pity he doesn't record anymore for almost 10y now.

It's my opinion, take on it, why not speculate, it's called working the brain, and if I'm wrong, no harm done, it means I was wrong and if I was right, means I was thinking correctly, simple really.

Why not? Because it is stupid to speculate about something you know nothing about.

WWOOWWW these are the words what should be repeated on this website daily.

Specialy "thinking" and "stupid to speculate".

If this happened in Thailand there would already been 10 pages with Thai bashing, brown envelops, Cheap construction works, ignorance, stupidity, incompetence, ....... and many more.

Now the comments here are so nice, friendly, soft, .. or no comments at all from some peoples.

RIP to all those peoples and i'm already happy to know that there are relatively less victims as this could be alot worce if this was happened on a normal weekday outside  schoolholidays.

i have no idea if there is something fishy going on or this is the same car. Even i doubt there are so many same available in Thailand let alone Bkk but i came along this website.

A deal go wrong? Money problems? Don't wanna speculate. Maybe we will read more the next days.

Anyway sad this guy had died specialy so young.

Why i see so much nagging again about the AOT????

It's in almost every airport all around the world the same. Ones you get inside the airport you already pay 10-20% more. Ones you pass the security it goes up up to 50%.

Same with the tax free shops. Only thing i ever buy there are some brands of alcohol ( and i really mean some brands). Most stuff i ever compaired i can buy cheaper here in a regular store.

I have been visiting many  temples and see many of these spirit houses but, fortunatly, never seen one what's been offered meat. Think this will give a very awful smell.

Your wrong, it’s a Nissan Navara body shell, same doors and windows, Merc have put a new front end and rear on it and of course a new interior !

And don't forget they also use the Nissan engine in the 220d and 250d.

It is a fact of life here, which many of us can sadly verify: Thais tend NOT to learn from experience.

Stop the BS about Thailand and only in Thailand. I get so bored about this mentality.

This happened a few weeks ago in the US: https://www.wwaytv3.com/2018/04/04/infant-dies-after-being-left-in-the-car-father-forgot-to-drop-child-off-at-daycare/

Didn't see you write about that that Americans never learn their lessons!

Just take a look on google and find out this happens many times every year all over the world.

This phenomena is not just a Thai issue, it's happening all over the world, especially with car drivers. It is absolute lunacy. 

100% correct. Last weekend there was a bad accident here in Belgium with somebody play on his phone during driving. Result: he was badly ingured.

I was in HH about 3 weeks ago and to my surprice there was alot of bad smoke smell. I stayed in a hotel about 2km out the city, direction Cha-am, but around the swimming pool and in the hallways, because they Always opened the windows, it Always smelled bad.

i did not give them my real name

WOW you must be very trustworthy. Probably gave the bill to somebody else too?!

Hi everybody,

searching and hoping to find this during my 3 weeks of traveling in the north of Thailand i still wasnt able to find what i am looking for.

I'm talking about Maa Kratoop Rong or ม้ากระทืบโรง. And not the bottles you can buy in the 7-11.  Because this seems not to be the same stuff.

I did read about it already some years ago but not tasted it.

This year i came close when a guy in the Tesco express almost told me. He was about to tell me , then i saw the doubt in his eyes and then he suddenly changed his answer in a head shaking no.

So me and my Thai wife asked in Chiang Mai, Mae Sariang , Mae Hong Son and now wanna find it during my last two days in the area of Chiang Rai.

It would be nice to find some bottles to bring jome for me and my best friend.

Thanks already,

Foexie

Shocking, More shocking is that i drive the road on a regular basis,

but how does a diesel powered bus burn so quickly ?

On news sites outside Thailand i read that one of the passengers was smoking. Probably fall asleep with a burning sigaret falling on the chair.

And like already been said inhere those chairs can burn very fast. And have a very toxic smoke.

So those sleeping in the back of the bus didn't have a big chance to survive. And if they don't realise to break down a window with there sleepy heads (if they already didn't do it and maybe make the fire worce) they will inhale alot of dirty smoke and suffocate or get at least unconscious.

Ok it could be me but if they couldn't stop the train, why they not pulled the man of the tracks with 2, 3, 4, ... persons????????

if it is that Italian man i just wonder where his diving gear has been?

Maybe he went snorkeling.

But as Ahab already said, a floater in warm water and sunshine will already start to decompose in just a few hours. Not sure it still will float after 1 month.

And this is filmed where???

I specialy went to Khao Lak 2 years ago for visiting this monument. Ones arrived, me and my gf not even bothered to get out the car. It looked so disconsolate. A big crane and construction works were just happening about 3 meters from the wall.

Last year my best friend and his family did go see it too and he also found it real sad and a not worth visiting place.

All those victims deserves a much more appropriate monument.

@ Moe666,

driving a car. I can't ride a motorbike.

Thanks for the tip.

You can get a Green bus from CM to CR , which takes three hours

WOW you are such a big help

Hi everybody,

in may i will do it. Make the trip from CM to CR taking the road of 1862 curves. I will do this clockwise because i think it would be a  little more safely

I was thinking to do this, relaxing, in about 21 days.

Stay 5 days in area CM, 2 days around Mae Sariang, 4 days Mae Hong Son, 2 days Pai, 3 days Fang And the rest around CR.

I did read about the nice views during the trip. And the main reaon for doing this is to go see alot of nice temples in the north. Found already info about at least 200 temples worth visiting.

For those who already did this trip or maybe living in those areas, can you give me some tips of things what you really need to have seen while being there.

Normaly i Always end a tour with, a week or so,  sea and beach but are there places here what will make me go there instead of flying to the south?

Thanks already for take some time to read this and help me out.

Regards,

Foexie
