Apart from the monopoly, great to see such interest from reputable foreign countries.

'Suits' is brilliant

Just as a matter of interest are there no slander or libel laws in Thailand?? News articles seem to give a lot of information and details, and mostly speculate on circumstances. In this case naming ex partners, but if they have absolutely nothing to do with it can they take a case against the paper for naming them and wrongfully accusing them?? Or is the fact the police say 'we think it was an ex-partner' give the paper immunity to go ahead and name the person??Since investigative journalism is always trumped by speculative journalism in LOS, the Nation reporter is probably just quoting the cops.Sue the cops for slander? Seriously?

I was only asking out of interest, there is a huge difference between what the police say during an investigation and what is deemed correct to print, i.e. Names of potential suspects without substance.

They haven't libeled anyone. They have only said who they are planning to question, and why. In the UK, rape suspects are named even if innocent. They are all over the newspapers, and then their lives can be ruined, even if they are innocent. It's shocking in any country that suspects are named this way. They should remain anonymous, and only named if found guilty.

The police may say that but the paper goes out of their way to print it, including the names, that's my point, but yes agree with the rest you say. However in the UK and Ireland, if something is reported without substance or incorrectly, you can sue the paper, of late Louis Walsh and some guy from the BBC over the Jimmy Saville controversy, whose name I cant think off, have successfully sued papers.

big thumbs up from me, i love bangkok, its a city of life and soul, talking to other people here in ireland probably 80% hate bkk and 20% love it, the 80% had no idea of where to go and how the city operates, most knew about sky train but no one knew about mrt or river cruises etc. I think there's no place on earth like bkk once you get to know it

Yes I agree, 80% of the people I talk to in Ireland that visit BKK for the first time hate it, as I did, but fell in love the second time and now I spend more time there than anywhere else when I go on holidays. It's my favorite place I have ever visited and cant wait to get back!

Thank god I've been there before reading the opinions of most the posters on TV. I know the expats in Thailand hate the fact that other people bar them have an interest in Thailand, almost like it kills them that they are not unique, im not talking about all but the begrudgers that always post knocking the LOS.

As a country it has its down sides, but where doesn't?? Certainly if it bothered me enough I wouldn't go back, never mind decide to uproot and live there!

It's a fantastic club, well worth the visit, it is pricey but I reckon it's worth it!

Only in Thailand. A country being run by a convicted bail jumping criminal on the run. PTP is not a party, it is a bunch of mindless morons being told what to do by one narcissistic megalomanic. Is there no way other than a coup to remove these fools before they break Thailand?

The same man the people voted for knowing who he was?? The same woman the people voted for knowing who she was??

While you all get on a high horse, do any of you know of a poor politician and one that doesn't do well even after they have left office?? No matter what the reason??

I would just like to offer my own sympathy to you and your family. Clearly posting on TV was a good thing, you will get help nowhere else, and now you and anyone else who reads the thread will be aware of pavena if this situation arises for them.

Again my sympathy goes out to you and your family and I hope some justice will prevail.

I met my isaan gf here in Ireland, and sometimes it's hard to tell that her and her friends aren't away from home. They eat Thai food all the time, watch Thai programs on laptops and speak Thai constantly. We go to every Thai event going (which I love) but although she is always homesick, every time we go back she is ready to come back here by the end. I had been to Thailand many times before and twice back since I met her four years ago, her view is that Thailand is HER home but Ireland IS home now.

Happy to hear you have left. You can only look at it as having the worst bit of luck ever. Think you need your break back home and start anew in a completely different region when you come back. Best of luck.

So is there no Thai mafia? No payments to police? Because I can guarantee there must be, why pay three different gangs protection if they dont protect??

Agreed with jayman, I presume it will come out over the next few days. Glad to hear he is alive and safe.

Check out 'valentine concert Thailand' on youtube, you may get the names of the songs your looking for from that, you'll certainly get what your looking for anyway

But it's from meat that has been imported from Europe which is worth mentioning, also no risk to public health! But it certainly should never happen!
