Would be worth trying, given that rainmaking does not work at all.

Sick. Really really sick.

87.33 % of rabies infected animals are dogs. That will then translate into mostly stray dogs. That´s just another shiny button on the shirt for pro-shooting down the whole bunch of them.

 
It's just occurred to me that the government probably realises that it is impossible to do anything. Thais are completely ungovernable and will always do what suits them best, no matter what the consequence for others or even themselves. You simply can't tell a Thai what to do as they will take no notice of you. So they cannot be taught to drive properly and safely unless they WANT to. Some do, but others are too lazy or stupid or simply don't care or see any danger in what they do. And actually learning to drive properly is hard, and Thais do not do hard if there is an easy way instead.

The item below sums up Thais perfectly.

It´s nice to see that a change is possible. Even if it is a small one, it actually seems like one place understood what they did wrong before.

My question here, is why some posters complain and try to find something wrong. Everything can´t be perfect, and will never be anywhere in the world. A change to the better, though, should always be welcome as something positive.

I've seen one of these shows, the animals are heavily drugged of course. Teach them to buy those cheap knock-off drugs from India won't it!

It could have been done a lot quicker if the cops had given him to the mob. Murdering a boy and a grannie for a pittance, he deserves a bad end.

When farangs show it is an offense but not Thai women along Patpong, Sukhumvit, Pattaya & Phuket! Correct me if I am wrong.

that “Mister Mutt” had promised to invest in Thailand.

Hilarious. Given that the average Thai has great difficulty with either "s" or "k" at the end of an English word, it is obvious that even the supreme general is not gonna be able to say the two of them together! Hence Mutt.
As a comment it may have been better if Mr Mutt had rethunk the whole thing before sticking his nose into the situation. He ended up looking like a bit of a dick. Which I'm sure he isn't.
Some good may come out of it - the general may order 3 of those mini fellas - to help the 3 big'uns from getting bored while hanging about in a dock somewhere . . .

A whore by any other name is still a whore

I notice that Prawit is blaming foreign operators. Naturally he would. Not the boat operators. Were the passengers ordered to wear safety floaties? Did they know where to find them? Were there any actually on the boat? Any of this reported?

So fantastic they have been found alive. Sincerely hope they can be got out safely. They don’t really need an entire dive course - just some basics and confidence to be underwater with a mask. Very hard for these kids who may not even know how to swim, and terrible water conditions. 

If 30 or 40 people were being knifed or shot to death every day, there would be massive outcry and action to try to stop it. But the roads? It is as if the authorities and the public simply don't care in the slightest. These numbers are rectifiable, but not with the current approach of zero traffic law enforcement.

Driving drunk, with no license, so probably no insurance either then?
Thai, or Expat, that is wrong and deserves punishment.
Everyone needs to wake up and accept you just cant do this anymore.
It is not acceptable behaviour.

I believe it was never really here in the first place. (Democracy). There has always been a form of Thai democracy but it was hardly a full version of democracy with real checks and balances.
 
The 20 year plan is crazy if its too strict, though planning a bit further ahead would not be a bad thing for stuff like watermanagement (Prayut has neglected it). Seems like every government comes up with new plans for the flooding but it never survives a next government. These kind of things should be in such a plan.  What Prayut puts into it is just too restrictive.
 
It would be nice if they could decrease army spending and abolish the draft as been suggested. 

I too am surprised that it isn't road deaths as number 1.

pessimist

Does everyone have to be the same? Aren't fat people allowed in today's society?
- Go on a diet.
- Stop smoking.
- Stop drinking.
- Be politically correct in what you say.
- blah, blah, blah
We're all going to die one day. Leave us alone to die in peace. If a fat man wants to eat himself into having a heart attack, let him. If a smoker wants to smoke himself to death, let him, etc...
To the do gooders out there. Mind your own business. Get on with your own lives and leave us lot alone. The only thing we're harming is are own health.

7 billion people are on this Earth now. Food shortages, water shortages, lack of resources, let some of us die happy. Why are you trying to make us healthy? Bloody do gooders are creating Armegeddon, just wait 50 years and they'll be 14 billion humans on the Earth. Sheesh!

These pencil pushers are furiously busy figuring out methods of creaming this lovely money - if current and previous handouts are anything to go by.

I'm getting sick of this "some of the world's best beaches" bs. I've been to quite a few beaches in Thailand in recent years and haven't yet seen one that matches that description in any way.
As an Aussie, if I want to see a pristine "worlds best" beach then I do it in Aus. Recently visited the Philippines, that's certainly a place that can lay claim to "worlds best" beach description.

I am not one to put down Thai's in general, but how thick are they sometimes.
 
This guy should be arrested and made to repay all the monies taken. If he is advertising it as a cure to cancer he should be charged under the false representation. 

Lot of emphasis on the behaviour of the children here, but how about the cause of the problem - the partial collapse of the balcony? How about an effort to 1. Build it solidly in the first place and 2. Maintain it!!

Not enough cops in that picture. . . considering the nature of the crime.

Go buy yourself an indication cooker. Impossible to leave it on.
