Gives the phrase "living like a monk" a whole new meaning!

"Justice has held a seminar on police reform with an aim to promote a better image of police officers in the eyes of the Thai people."

No no, this is nothing to do with doing police work better, nothing to do with justice, it's all about image. Says that in black and white.

Obviously the RTP is in need of a new PR department. That is all.

Feeding the fish.

After all, I presume the fishing practices in that part of the world are the same as those in Thailand, so there would be precious little else for fish to eat.

She knows how to catch rats - go catch the one with the label 'cousin' on it.

Did she actually agree to the contract having her name on it? Dopey if she did . . .

Seems to be no shortage of these a****les here!

No shortage anywhere in the world, not just Thailand.

Not trying to 'stick up' for Thailand, but for example, everyday in Aus you see this type of thing reported in the press.

The guy she brought to the Condo is probably her cuisine.

She's going to eat him?

Given that one of the ways Thais describe the sex act is to "eat", then she probably did "eat" the guy.

Did he have a stupid grin on his face?

They work very well - in a dry climate like inland Australia.

In a humid climate like Thailand - worse than useless.

Nothing mysterious about that, nothing at all. An inevitable consequensce of too many coils too close together.

Duh. Forgot to pull the handbrake on.

Ummm, that's a WELL??

"Endorsing the bill nine years after its adoption was first urged, the cabinet’s resolution said the law would “enhance the effectiveness” of existing laws and serve “to raise human rights protection in Thailand to the same par with the international standard,” according to an unofficial translation."

Nine years to mull that one??

Hey, don't lets rush into this . . .

Sounds admirable.Or perhaps simply not enough tourists and the money behind the "attractions" is pulling out?

Oh, the cynic in you!!

Prolly correct though . . .

I've watched Thais do this using a car battery for the power, what was this guy using, the overhead mains power lines?

Yeah, interested to see just what his approach was.

I've seen many times Thai technicians resting their bamboo ladders against power lines in the street, so maybe this guy thought he could do the same thing.

Without the technical knowledge - ie, if you touch it and make a circuit, you're dead.

Anyway, sad that a guy died.

In answer to your final question -To protect the power elite and render them immune to economic and social justice. To neutralise the will of the people via the threat of violence.

Succinctly put and spot on. Very sad for Thailand.

Not clear about the 13 and 15 ages - different charges.

What's that all about?

The dog owner should be made to pay 100% of the medical bills, plus at least one million baht in compensation for the emotional distress caused by the attack.

The dog should be put down and the owner banned from ever owning a dog again.

Of course you are correct. Anyone who contradicts your sentiments is barking up the wrong tree.

And I'm not being sarcastic!.

Soi dogs should be declared as being owned by the local authorities, and the 'laws' stated above should be applied to these authorities.

Reckon that would deal with the soi dog problem quick sticks.

Oops. Looks like the cops will have to draw it out a bit longer before they can get away with lifting the edge of the carpet.

Why would a Japanese person want a selfie of all things standing on the site of such a great national shame? 'Would be like a German wanting a picture of himself standing next to one of the ovens.

Err, it's called "means testing", and the way to do it is look at the taxation records of people - then you know their income so you can arrive at a system which is fair and reasonable.

Problem with Thailand is that they don't have a fully functioning tax system, so that normal means testing won't work. Other ways will need to be worked out.

I do applaud the thinking however.

He's talked about it, now extract the digit and do it! Make it happen.

May I ask what benefit a change would make to you?

Benefit to me? No benefit to me, I'm not Thai. It would benefit Thai people though.

7000 in his wallet. Good going for a lad.

Nasty sting by those Arabs, they should be able to behave better than that. After all, Arabs richer than farangs aren't they?

My breakfast sometimes cost 600 baht....

Overweight?

Naahh, it's the Champagne and the salmon plus the black caviar....

Oh yes. Thumbs up. A shandy of champers and oj for breakfast starts the day really well!

Too bad we're left in the dark as to his new 'inactive post' deployment . . .

Cannot be that he was just plain sacked.

Closed because farangs insist on wearing bikinis?

"too sick to travel"

How many times have I seen that before?

(High profile cases especially).
