Great information but what's the governments plan? Oh yes that would be finding another rug to sweep the dirt under. They still haven't done bugger all about all the other encroachment.

Feel so sorry for those who lost their lives but this moronic driving style is typical in Thailand. Despite the on-going tragedies nobody ever learns from them.

This would be, and should be, truly shocking if it wasn't for the fact that it's going on all the time.

With the amount of violent crimes, motorbike crashes and the lack of even the most basic forms of public safety I suspect the hospitals are already pretty full. Just another Thai Hub Day.

If Charlem really wants to come off the watch list then he needs to refrain from the bottle - that is the medicine bottle; according to Charlem and his on-going ear issues.

Next year, according to some reports Thailand could be listed as No.1 Human Rights Abuser; which doesn't surprise me in the least. Thais have no compassion for anyone who isn't Thai and the wealthy elite have not compassion for anyone, including their own citizens.

Tat-ta, don't forget to write. After 10 years of trying to get him deported I bet they'll be a few glassed raised very high today - http://meebal.com/britain-celebrates-the-departure-of-abu-qatada/

Ignorance is bliss and there are none more blissful than Thais.

This was another source of the news this morning - http://meebal.com/nazi-fried-chicken-take-away-opens-in-thailand/

You might assume this is something new but it happens across Phuket every time there's heavy downpour. With little proper drainage what can you expect? Piss poor construction fueled by greed = people under water.

Maybe the PM realized he was simply too heavily medicated to be effective in the previous rolls.

News reports are still coming in. One Phuket resident reported that despite the severe weather warnings the local speedboats were still packing in the tourists and heading out to Phi Phi.

It's too late...

It needs to be more if the Government are to stop the abuse of the NHS

Ouch! Just when you think Thailand had attracted all dregs of society it goes and lets this <deleted> in. Thank christ I don't have smellies otherwise I'd no doubt be pestered to drag the stupid <deleted> to the concert.

“We will choose the route that requires the least land to be expropriated and which best preserves Phuket’s beautiful landscape,” Governor Maitri said

Beautiful? Chalong? Whatever you are smoking is illegal and you need to share it.

Chalong lost it's natural beauty about 20 years ago. It's dirty, noisy, cables hanging everywhere, no building control and it's getting worse.

It appears excessive but there are clear signs along the border detailing the penalties for drug trafficking. You'd have to be plain stupid to traffic drugs in South East Asia... oh yeah, she's Thai and there was money involved. Case closed.

Oh Boo Hoo ... the Thais screw foreign companies with massive import taxes. Tables are turning and it's about bloody time.

Is anyone actually surprised and did the Government really expect better results. Well its not big shock -

heart breaking, no money, no oh dear. Government needs to stop treating illegal taxis like and tell them to go off. Of course the Government are just a bunch of that all need . No doubt next week we'll see a that will result in people.

You have my vote.

It's true; only Thais may sell land or real estate. Legally they can only sell land to Thais and foreigners are not permitted to own land. Like all laws here this is circumnavigated through the farce of the Thai Nominee company, which is also illegal.

So, illegal foreign workers selling real estate illegally to foreigners who cannot legally own it. Yep, that would be LOS.

You would have to have your brain removed before buying any type of real estate in Thailand - rent it and don't worry about it. Buy it and face the real prospect of having it confiscated. Why would you waste your money... ah yes that would come down to the old saying; 'A fool and their money is soon parted.'

What's the point of her taking the role if she cannot control her own military.

Discussed and summarily dismissed; as usual -

It is not implausible for the Thais to attract high-quality tourists with mega bucks. First thing that needs doing is to cut our corruption and scams... Oh ok it is implausible - let's move on.

Whoever came up with the saying that you can't teach and old dog new tricks would have had Thailand in mind. All the signs are there; media provides raw coverage and yet despite the obvious the Thais simply ignore the facts and continue with what they know... scams and corruption. - Typical example -

Got a friend of mine whose girlfriend continuously scams him and works in the bar as soon as his back is turned. He's kicked her out countless times and yet he's just announced he's buying a 30 million baht villa that will go in her name.

What is it with Thailand? How can a guy walk in and be fleeced so easily. With all the horror stories you might think that foreign men might approach Thai girls in the manner in which they should be treated; that is drag it out of the bar, used it, pay it and kick it out.

How does a Thai girl spell LOVE? M.O.N.E.Y
