Considered Opinion

Sorry for the poor girl and her friends. And yet another nail in the coffin of Thailand's wonderful Buddhist Monks. Castration is the minimum this asshol_e should receive.

You're right. You have been here too long. "your honour".

In a civilised country you would be castrated for your sub-judice commentary. Good thing too. The Thai legal system doesn't require your uninformed clap trap.

It's actually OK to say "I wonder how long", as opposed to "I think they can.." when you actually have no idea, Harry.

The Thai legal system is its' own beast. How well it interacts with you, without very powerful friends is a factor of how much money you have.

And as to "how do I know" as opposed to I think... well therein is another story.

One is forced to wonder if the home owner had been a falang and the person killed was a burglar.

In essence there is no difference as to who was killed, (in the eyes of a proper legal system), the issue would be held as manslaughter.

Would TV be all grief stricken in those circumstances... ?

Sad for the child and family though.

family of the senior girl in the picture so proud of her.....me daughter go to university and do this...

Well done that man. Perhaps you could sit down with your daughter at some stage in practice on your English.

Throw the book at them. Nothing more disgusting than the sight of a naked man especially in public. Don't they have any females they could use please.

I disagree strongly. Those men are quite cute. Chooka you need to be somewhat less fixated on your shrinking manhood.

:-)

Certainly not with the current problem getting folk to take responsibility for their bad decisions.

It still completely escapes me why the Thai government even bother having the boys in brown. Likewise, I think it is a complete waste of their money to have a court system. All they need to do, is put the basics of the Case into Thai Visa and you blokes will do all the work for them, including carrying out sentences in a lot of cases, which whilst very thoughtful of you and probably most appreciated by the Thai legal system, it really doesn't give the accused much chance.

Can I suggest To the administrators that perhaps what we need is a new set of "classes" of users, starting with "investigator", "eyewitness", "police informer" (restricted to English people), "jury member", "prosecutor", "Judge".

Far more reflective of what actually happens in my humble opinion.

Is it wrong of me to laugh at...and...actually enjoy farang on farang violence in Thailand?

No it isn't. In fact I remember years ago some farang on farang violence that had the sh1t beaten out of an ex-soldier of some kind by another farang who objected to something the former soldier did.

It was quite funny at the time but not sure why anymore.

was just looking at the picture of the Thai girl commercial. she looks about 12. what's that about?

Here we go again... he is ALLEGED to have done these things.. he's not convicted yet so have some decency and treat him as innocent, until proven guilty.

LOL - well put. Of course, this is ThaiVisa, so fond hope methinks.

How many posts before someone suggests hanging?

Heard it all before of course, but ah well, maybe the Admin will say "stop it" and send someone to the naughty corner, though I can't really imagine that either.

You disgusting pig.

Bit early for the bar isn't it pet?

Is it just me or does this look like a happy holiday snap?

And ofcourse all the upset and selfrightious posters here will stop buying and eating seafood??

Or not?

For the record, I haven't eaten Thai seafood in 13 years. So, yes, we can stop eating Thai seafood.

Maybe de-install the app, then re-install it, then re-assemble the library? Or try another app., I use Aldiko: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmFsZGlrby5hbmRyb2lkIl0.

and, assemble the library. This assumes that deleting the the covers did not delete the underlying files.

I think the graphics are the icons. It isn't like a fruit product with 7 different folders to do one thing.

Why not just sell the kids? There may be Middle Eastern people on board.

Khlong Sam Wa

I think I heard a roar when I passed by there once, but put it down to the chili I had that evening.

Safari World is in Khlong Sam wa. That means roars are actually quite likely...

It also wouldn't be a surprise if at least some of the animals are fully legit. Far easier to smuggle some creatures when you've got genuine trade to hide it amongst.

i.e. Police took our parrots once when we were in London and the mother-in-law was left looking after them, as she didn't know where the documents showing their legal purchase were. My wife managed to get most of them back when we returned, but one had apparently died in police custody.

Was the one that died in police custody a black cockatoo?

Was this in Queensland?

Customs is having a bad week aren't they.

How do you smuggle a live lion?

Not exactrly something that you can stick down your pants.

Customs, as far as I am aware are even more crooked than The BIB.

Can't stick them down your pants but maybe they put them into condoms first and stick them up their rectum to smuggle through customs?

You're right. Absolutely no reason you couldn't stick A lion in a condom and pop it up your bum is there?

There is an excuse for it. He's an imbecile, and shouldn't be out without a bell around his neck to warn the rest of us he's on the streets.

Perhaps you could try that as well your honour.

another quality oz expat

idiot. he is Austrian not Australian.

Agree, gecko eggs. They like to lay them in tight places and they probably fell out when you opened a drawer or something. Not normally loose on the floor.

Also behind picture frames.

sounds like gecko eggs, but a bit bigger than a pea

Gekko.

I raised/trained dogs for some years. One German Shepherd that retrieved any dog (or person) that she perceived as a real threat to the my children, usually the retrieved critter wasn't fit for anything if it was still alive. She was doing the job she was trained to do. I raised hunting dogs, mostly Labs for many years, along with a pointer or two. I had a house mate that had a chicken/goose killing dog in a New Mexico village, rural, very similar to life here. We tried everything, hanging the bird around the neck, dog ate it, hanging it around the neck full of Cayenne pepper, dog ate it, hanging around neck with Cayenne and mace, dog ate it. Dog left the premises permanently. Same problem with a pointer, .22 to the brain pan. The chickens and geese were on their own property, not mine. Like here, chickens and geese were part of the families' food supply. If I hadn't done the dirty deeds, the neighbors would have and would have always held a dangerous grudge against me.

I might add, that while working next to a Indian Pueblo I was given permission to kill all dogs roaming. They were packing up and killing cattle. I got to hunt ducks for free in exchange. I ended the pack problem.

You will not break the dogs once they have gotten a taste. A good fence is your best bet, and you know that your neighbors certainly won't build one, that way if it is in/on your property, fair game and get the frying pan ready. If not a fence, well not a pretty alternative.

Best of luck with this situation.

Good. Undisguised logic.

Also, a barbequed dog is very nice with sweet chilli sauce that you get at the 7. About 45Bt per jar.

My grandfather's solutions were tie a dead chicken he has killed onto the dogs back on his shoulders and just leave it there for a few days. If that doesn't stop the habit insert a small piece of lead on one ear.

Then barbeque the dog. If you can't control the dog, you shouldn't have it. I'm surprised the locals haven't taken it upon themselves to do this already. If it happened in my village, it would now be a story of what happened, not a request for assistance in management.

I also wonder what his TV user name is?
