Back door , bullet , wheelie bin , job done.

Dumber and dumber

Not again please !!

I still want to know how a non elected council fits into the democratic system

Who the Hell is this guy to make demands such as this?

He is Suthep, leader of the anti-shin government.

His demands are valid... It's a protest don't forget.

I hope he gets what he wants. He has my full support and the support of many in Thailand including huge amounts of academics and professors. People who have a lot more understanding of this country than you or I.

And People who have a lot more money than others.....

Some people must really stand out as "marks." In 15 years of traveling and living in Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia I've never been the victim of a crime of any kind. On the other hand, I've got friends who get clipped on just about every visit...strange. Maybe it helps that I don't drink so always have my wits about me and don't wear flashy watches or jewelry and usually dress like a poor backpacking tourist.

I think you are right - I have only had one mugging attempt directed at me in 30 something years ( unsuccessful).

I do however wear a gold chain and a real Rolex but I get left alone. I have slept drunk in rain ditches, bars , roadsides and never yet been a victim - just lucky I guess.....

Pathetic drivel.....

Trying to win back the title of the most disliked foreigners in the world for Germany from the Americans.

I seriously do hope , piss taking apart that he was not seriously ill .

She 's auditioning for Smart Woman Thailand...

They have more chance of launching a successful Space Exploration Programme - however one has to admire the sentiment.

Ban motorbikes for the week of Songkran, that should do something.

You have to put your foot down and not be intimidated by your wife claiming- Thai culture -.

I told my wife early on that the only culture in our house is our culture - it took a while but she got the jist of it in the end.

The other weapon that I had was that MIL and FIL work for me on our farm in Isan and I know they steal so they do tend to play by the rules because they know I know-leverage is power.......

I had one - every time I used it , I wanted a real cigarette immediately afterwards - lost cause for me I think.

Nobodies arguing with nothings...

Not another drug bust without involving Farang biker gangs - can't be true............

It is the complete disregard for the mechanics of a democratic system that I find outrageous.

If you lose the election , you find the strongest opposition that you can muster in the democratically elected parliament , and wait until the next duly announced election to try ad fight back - you do not occupy airports, the streets of the capital and government offices with gangs of paid up protectors , you wait, you plan and you try to win the next time around.

Another question I must raise is how does a non elected , appointed council fit into a democratic government ?

We all know such a council would be wholly made up of Suthep and his cronies who would probably arrange to be council members for life, thus rendering the parliament incapable of doing it's job - lawmaking and running the country.

He should have hired a hit man - he would be out on bail by now even if she does not survive.

why so often do i see older thai........................................................................................woman with little boys 15-20...

Its Mums and Sons - Thai mums mollycoddle their sons well into middle age ......

Dr. Nitawadee is hot...hard to believe she's in her early 40s and has two kids. I'd do her in a heartbeat.

Get in the queue

Looks and brains...always a turn-on.

She looks a hard faced evil bitch to me --- very far away from hot by LOS standards.

Where does she get these hideous, 19th century costumes all the time? Shinawatra Silk?

Actually I think her fashion sense might be influenced by that sixties icon Tin Tin from the puppet series Thunderbirds. Their look is remarkably similar!

Never heard of Tin Tin being in Thunderbirds !

HDs - had one , blew the motor , went back to Ducati - nuff said.

Much wailing, gnashing of teeth and cutting of hair in this thread over a relatively minor incident of no real importance or interest.

People get pissed up and end up in skirmishes all over the world....

WRONG PLACE , WRONG TIME - happens all over the world ....

What makes driving here dangerous must have slipped my mind in the last post

Diminutive Thai ladies in large cars unable to see much over the dashboard.

Headlights that are never dipped

Mobile phones, I pads , DVD players

Screaming , climbing children without seat belts

Motorbikes in general

Thais in any prestigious car such as a Mercedes thinking they have more rights than other road users

Lack of signals

Condition of old vehicles

A LACK OF BOTH ABILITY AND EDUCATION............

As I stated on a previous post , I drove from Sadao to Mukdahan earlier this year and had no problems except being pulled for speeding twice.

The most dangerous thing I encountered were roadside markets which cause people to just stop without warning because they see something they want.

Thai drivers do however drive too fast, they tailgate like crazy and if there is an accident they love to rubberneck.

I have travelled extensively in the region and the other feature that Thais have , as do all Asian drivers is a complete lack of spacial awareness.

They are also very lacking in courtesy on the road.
