My mother used to tell me I had the constitution of a horse. Sadly she has passed away and will be unable to pass judgement on the one that is in progress but her collection of Australianisms gives me a few guesses.

I think you are referring to the military term "charlie foxtrot" or for the non military "cluster <deleted>"

My mother was never fond of that particular expletive. "Kangaroos loose in the top paddock" might me more appropriate

Thailand has everything to make Zika a real problem.

The right mosquitoes.

Lack of immunity.

Loads of breeding ground.

The right climate.

Poor response to Dengue increase.

How the he'll can you be "cured" of a virus?

I'm sure the mosquito species is also incorrect

Wonder if Prayut will be asked to repay any losses during the next administration

It's all part of evolution. The only thing left to eat one day will be the polyethylene family

Like South America, Thailand has no immunity. It has the right climate, it has the right mosquitoes. Ignore it and we could be seeing some disastrous pregnancies

Well hardly a surprise .,,, BUT there are a lot of factors to weigh up.....

Firstly one would assume the Nat Geo are prepared for this

Secondly what about CEE4Life who actually prepared the report? Will the temple go after them too?

It seems that under Thai law they concentrate not so much on the veracity of the allegations so much as whether or not they have caused damages - this is of course pretty indisputable....so it’s not so much did they pay for the tiger as how much this revelation has damaged the temple’s reputation.

The last time the temple tried to sue WFFT Edwin Wiek, they withdrew the action. One reason for this may well have been the fear of the inevitable adverse publicity and revelations such an action would bring.

It seems to me that the chances of the temple actually winning any legal action are quite good, given the state of Thai law and their connections, but can they survive the publicity generated by taking action against what is just about the biggest international publication in the world?

The magazine might be banned in Thailand but it will still be available worldwide where the temples customers come from.

We’ve already seen how irascible the abbot can be (the video of bird confiscation) but will he pursue this action? He needs to weigh the odds.

It might be good to have the whole thing aired in court though?

It seems that Thai law around libel and slander has nothing to do with whether or not the person "slandered" or libeled did the things said or written about them. Instead, it appears to be whether or not face was lost or they were shown in "bad light," or it was an affront to Thainess. \

Does anyone know if a libel case has ever been lost at trial due to the defendant proving that the things written about were true?

In addition to the bizarre libel laws, I don't think legal precedence matters here.

How many Thais have scaled Everest?

Probably about the same number who have been to one of the poles.

Plenty of poles in Thailand but no Poles or magnetic poles

Hook, Fish. Fish, Hook.

Fish scales, scales fish

You could probably hide a small gun in one and smuggle it into Japan

When the ambient temperature drops below 25, the ski jackets come out

wearing ski jackets = have you scaled Everest? 555555

The real question is, "Have you even been stuck in the North Pole for 11 days, 49 hours, and 43 minutes without socks???"

Why do I ask? I saw a guy putting ice in his beer....

I have been stuck at the North Pole for 2 weeks, so what is your point?

Do they do dancing there as well as scaling fish?

How many Thais have scaled Everest?

How many Swedes have walked across the Sahara? What's your point?

Do I really need to spell it out?

YES! No idea what you're talking about and frankly. I'm not arsed.

That's on oxymoron

How many Thais have scaled Everest?

If you are implying that it is not cold, the why is it that all Farang visitors at Chiang Rai are bundled up with thick jackets, and scarves? They must be feeling really hot eh?

Do you think comparing westerners in Chiang Rai with Thais in Bangkok is logical?

If you wouldn't mind.

When the ambient temperature drops below 25, the ski jackets come out

So when it's cold people dress warmly. How profound You do realise that 16 is 20 degrees less than the norm. That's like the UK going from 20 (Nice bikini weather for Hyde Park) to 0...or do you expect people in London to stay in T Shirt and shorts when the temperature drops. Now I bet you sweat your balls off when you came here and the temp was 30+ (Quite mild for me...I only start feeling hot in Kanchanaburi when its 40)

I believe Bangkok is usually around 26 degrees in January

I believe I'm a handsome old devil...doesn't make it true Average daytime temperature is 33 degrees.

Does that mean I can trawl with a beret and just one ear?

3 Thais have scaled Everest.. Have you?

Plenty of bass

Top Gun???????5555555 never fired a shot in war, what a farce?

In this day and age, besides bombing terrorists on the ground who don't have the equipment to shoot back, how many fighter pilots in the world actually have 'war' experience?

Besides 'Top Gun' isn't actually a title, so why can't they call him that? What a farce indeed.

I guess Turkey would claim the most recent

If its part of a 777 fuselage then that would be pretty interesting

zika and dengue fever are one and the same I think personally that everyone entering a country should carry a medical clearance certificate from their country of origin .

Zika and dengue are different viruses but are carried by the same mosquito.

Although "abroad" is a pretty big place, one would have to assume that they have a list of IP addresses that accessed the servers. It shouldn't take a jiffy to identify the origin of the computer (almost certainly some firm of proxy server or VPN) making the request. From there it gets interesting....

I guess you didn't read post #9 by JUST1VOICE ---neither the USA, British , German, Japanese and other governments with all their high tech protocals and equipment have been able to find or stop Anonymous‬ from hacking their sites . If those countries couldn't do it I doubt Thailand will be able to.

Any access to a website server must come from a TCP/IP address. I don't see any other routable protocol being used.

If the server logs that access then that would be a source for the IP address.

If the local router logs the IP address, that would also be a source.

However, any IP address logged would almost certainly not the the IP address of the "user" but (as I mentioned above) be the address of a 3rd party device such as a proxy server (possibly TOR) or VPN. It could even be multiple layers of devices located around the world.

Getting hold of the actual "user" IP address would then be a real problem and would be slow, expensive and would almost certainly involve the courts.

Just like I said before, you dear Sir, have absolutely no clue how those hacks work. To get into SQL data you need to plant some tools on the server. Once you get the data, the tools are deleted,and all the logs are cleared. Been there, done that (to paying customers too). The way things work now, nothing is what it seems. With several obfuscation layers you can find several IP addresses and none will be the actual perpetrator.

Your reference to "...involve the courts..." is interesting, do the courts posses some special knowledge in network hacking?

These are Anonymous you're talking about. No self respecting Anon would use their private machines to hack. They have access to plenty of botnets and rootkit servers around the world.

Start hanging out on 4chan. Join one of theirs IRC channels. Maybe you'll understand them better...

"Plant some tools" I'm sure you mean the standard SQL tools.

Personally I'd go to the SQL console, check the backup schedule and take the most recent backup. Quicker, and cleaner and can be done with local admin rights.

I did not suggest that the courts were hackers, purely that they could order any log files to be handed over.
