Mr. Gweiloman. I noticed the post. But my beloved PM has her hands full on sissies blocking the traffic and junctions for weeks. You can't expect her to enforce regulations on bus tyres or sleepy drivers. Or trucks parked badly. She can't break iron with hands. Give her 10 years instead of the recent 2 for God's sake. Thailand will be a better place.

Eric Berg makes noise as a broken crank shaft in a 1979 Isuzu 6 cilinder diesel bus engine. In 7 years the most dumb post ever. YL and a bus crash. What is next: beach flees in Samet to be blamed on Thaksin? Mr Berg needs a control alt delete. Buy some Sangsom and switch the aparatus off.

I am a single (Farang) dad with a 6 year old child. With school registrations I never encountered problems or xenofobic behavior. At least from the school management (local public school). In contrary, but perhaps due to my personal situation managements are more flexible towards a single parent?

What I DO encounter is xenofobism from parents. It is rather hard to get my child playing after school time with other kids. Often she tells me she is being teased. And I am called a "stupid buffalo" by other children. Of course when I am not present. When I am present they all perform the drilled 'Wai' to me. But parents; they do not like me. I work in Thailand, pay tax, have a child at a (free) school, drive a nice car, etc. That is not what entered in their brains during their time of education. A foreigner living legally in Thailand and 'lifting' on the social benefits of the country. The topic gossip I better leave out now because that horrible part of Thai society.....I can fill pages what has been said or speculated about me by parents in 'my' town.

I prefer to see Yingluck making a mistake with mixing up the boxes than let's say, the sight of Abhisit during Constitution Day 2010 standing there as a beaten dog when General Prem passed by. Prem was busier playing with his cell.phone then looking in the eyes of the failed (not legally elected) PM in those days. What an embarassment was that. Prem was obviously angry AV didn't take proper actions during that turmoil.

Dear Robert. My name is Willy Rotterdam. I gathered documents and press releases which might help to strengthen the case you are working on. It is about an opposition figure acting as a HiSo donkey. He doesn't move.

Lesse Majeste in its purest form. Royal Highness The King appoints a caretaker until fresh elections will be held on 2nd of February. Abhisit publicly accuses the elections as a farce. So.......

On this moment yes... Thailand is a car manufacturing HUB for many Japanese car makers.But the point of interests is all ready moving to Indonesia. Toyota and Honda building there 2 giant factories. Also Ford did turn Thailand the back and choose India as regional point. In Vietnam are talks going for a new all model Mitsubishi factory.

As Thai people don t invest in knowledge, language skills and labor regimes then I see dark clouds for the Thai Car Maker HUB.

With the free trade in the ASEAN the factories will choose for the best options to make cars. They are not interested in countries or people.

The main thing for a factory is that it make as much profit as possible.

The sounds I here amongst Manufacturers and I am one, turmoil has not affect business and production. Apart from the strong fluctuations of currency. But people get tired. Patience runs out. There are several competing countries where the general climate, both political as intersociety are less juvenile as in Thailand. The general picture is Thailand makes an unncessary fool of itself. Whistles. Shutdowns. Airport closure.

Yes, a happy ending but child abduction is evil and just about as cruel as it gets. Mr Sweden needs a shark kick up the khyber no matter whose fault the argument

Are you very familiar with Thailand or just a bit? I bought my child 'back' for USD $16, 000. Mother instincts here differ a bit from Western perspectives. Mr. Sweden best obducts again but with a Swedish pppt in hand.

Best of course is to postpone elections and get UN-watchers in to monitor the safety and purity of the elections. BUT, Thais consider themselves superb and very capable of running the 'business', and foreigners only create problems. At least that is the popular believe. It won't work...........it will be a violent mess Sunday.

If Jimmy Norby is clever he tries to get his child a.s.a.p. double nationality. It looks like he hasn't Swedish nationality for the Little One and therefor he will be grilled 'forever'. Juridically Mother comes first and he second.

Wasn't there a foreign Nusskopf with a Swastika tattoo joining the protests? That is the 1st one. Heinrich von Wackoberghen.

May be Phra Phuttha Isara can put some sense in khun Thawatchai's thick head and his bosses thicker head.

But again.....3 days not enough.....it will take a very long time......if ever.

Perhaps Thawathchai can transfer some knowledge to Phra Phuttha Isara about peaceful methods and repeatedly invited protest leaders to the negotiation table who instead, choose for anarchy in the streets and obstruct the basic RIght of all Thais to bring their vote out. But I doubt 3 days will be sufficient since they the 'children' make noise with whistles. How deeper can you sink as an adult.

The author is over-creative, thinks too much. And a combination of having too much spare time. Just go to the box and vote. It is a basic right and I would very well protect it and be proud of it. Whatever the circumstances are in the political arena.

Alprazolam - xanax should be handed out for free. Before the Ministry of 'Health' restricted the sales months (sth I blame YL very much for) ago it was mouch more relaxed in the streets. Now one has to order in advance and the prices have tripled. B-52's with pills please.

I think every government makes wise or wrong decisions. This rice pledging scheme happened to work out negative. Abhisit decided to forcefully deport 4,715 Lao H'mong (most were UNHCR registered refugees) back to Laos between X-mas and New Year 2009. I choose for the rice mistake.

Two totally different "mistakes".

The deportation of the refugees was reprehensible and rightly condemned.

The rice scam has cost Thailand hundreds of billions of bht, ruined it reputation for quality rice, has the possibility to near bankrupt the country and most likely will destroy the livelyhood of hundreds of thousands of rice farmers who just happen to be Thai. That PT ignored the advice of just about any sane economist speaks volumes on what their true intentions were and that they care next to nothing about ordinary people.

The rice scam is not capable to ruin Thailand's economics by any means. It will be a black mark on it but does not have the potential to make Thailand bankrupt. The variety of other (export)industry rules that out. The reputation; a reputation can be won back again in a relatively short period. As long as the price and quality is balanced (again). As an example; the closure in Dec.2008 of Suvarnabhumi's airport by the Yellow Cattle. Press shouted it would destroy Thailand tourism sector. 2009 was back to normalcy, 2013 is a topper.

Before the marriage registration, I had a discussion with Khun Tou (Nantida) and my daughter as well as my beloved father, Khun Vatana."

Vatana is now in exile, fleeing the punishment related to the Klong Dan corruption case. Department of Special Investigation chief is now pondering if it should pressure Chonsawat and Janie for Vatana’s whereabouts.

Earlier, a photo was released, showing the three persons in the same room.

So he does communicate with his fugitive father and no doubt knows where he is hiding.

Why on Earth would DSI not pressure the son to reveal his fugitive father's whereabouts?

Why on Earth would DSI not puruse aiding and abeting charges against Chonsawat?

Or are they too busy trumping up another bogus charge against Abhisit?

Allo Allo, nobody is responsible for other one's actions. The son loves his dad and it is his good right. Why does the son have to reveal the whereabouts of his dad. Would you do so?

Well, the rice plan made some people very very rich. PTP, Yingluck, Thaksin, all in it for themselves and to hell with everyone else and the country. It is how Thaksin has always operated and always will. If T actually gets back here and in power he'll strip the country down so far that Angola will start looking good. Greedy family that uses and abuses their power and privilege at every chance they can get.

There were prime examples tp emulate.

Suharto family in Indonesia

Marcos family in the Phillipines.

Unfortunately more than 50% yes. Because more than 50% still comes from poor back grounds. No wonder the focus is on generating assets and assurements for future. In my native country is it easy, Social Security gives you money 'for free' incl pension.

I would take a model with a double rear fork, supporting the back wheel both sides. Fino and Click have the tendency of missing strength there. Torsion.

The reasons to strongly avoid Phuket are adding up. In 10 years Asia I have never been. But the scams, the unclear deaths of foreigners, the taxi's, tuk tuk's, tsunami, earthquake, corruption. Isn't it time to come to the conclusion Phuket is not a very smart tourist destination to choose?

Thank you for not coming to Phuket

We just love all you people who knock the place but have never been here...it does show a really adult attitude about life

As my 6 year old grandson says....if you don't try it you will never know but then again he likes a bit of adventure

Yes you're right, 'Adventure'. Go to a place where you guaranteed get ripped off. Put your grandson on a rented jet ski and send me your experiences. Before + 10 Ambassadors ask to clean up the scam to the local authorities, a lot has happened.

I am not a beach person, so maybe that is why, I would not have known what a red flag means.

This is a first I heared of it. The very few times I do go to the beach (Pattaya) I have never seen red flags.

But then if there where big waves, I would not go into the water.

Time to get the map out. Pattaya is on the gulf of Thailand. Phuket is in the Andaman sea. Quite a difference.

The Dutch guy in the picture is the attache for the KLPD (Royal 'Landelijke' Police Department) permanently based within the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok.

Normally these discoveries is they have been tipped / for money.

The Embassy is in fact only Foreign Affairs (business) but they house other departments like KLPD and Nature, Fishery and Agriculture too.

Good information learn something new everyday.

Tomorrow will add a picture how his office door looks on the 2nd floor.......you need a thermic lance to get your Bill of Lading (back)

*LOL* Its good to tease, i hope you understood i was just joking Rubl.

But this is interesting stuff, never knew about this, i was a the embassy last week to get a paper so i could buy and register a motorbike (stupid immigration here stopped issuing it). I never knew they housed the KLPD too.

Yep, and talking about containers. The KLPD attache = a diplomat. So in 2010 HIS container came tax-free to Thailand with furniture, equipment etc. AND over 600 bottles of wine. Eye brows were raised within the staff when his shipping documents were forwarded.........copper should be free from any integrity abuse. Okay, his duty period is 4 years; 4 x 365 days = 1,460 days. 40% of his time he is on bizniks trips........neighboring countries (Indonesia, Cambodia, Hong Kong etc.). Deduct 584 bottles because he is not home. Then deduct 4 x 1.5 months annual leave to The Netherlands; 180 days. 1,460 minus 584 minus 180 = 696 days left over = approximately 1 bottle per day. He is single, at least when he came to Thailand. So whether he sells them around (which is profitable business in Thailand) or after every 'discovery', celebrations should start.........

Within an Embassy it is a strict rule that Consular Department can not share any info with e.g. KLPD about the privacy of persons coming to the counter. If it is for a new passport, your registration paper, a visa........Foreign Affairs has to guarantee the privacy of all their citizens: the Police department happens just to be in house........I can assure you this is a (Dutch) law but not a rational nor realistic one. Your details are through the building.

Tapping a phone or IP address, with a snap of the finger.

The KLPD office is approx. 10 mtr. by 10 mtr., re-inforced concrete, an armored door + windows. So an excellent place to store wine.

If you need more, let me know. Edward Snowden's revelations sound very familiar to me.
