I measure it by the size of my d.ck.

Reason is I can also apply it abroad. It's like a universal measurement

Nobody learns from Nobody.... this reminds me so much of Santhika, Volendam and many other clubs where ceiling decoration/insulation catches fire....

R.I.P.

These red songtaew should be completely reviewed:

* Only allow cars on gaz. Currently they are very polluting with their diesel engines

* Use a fare board in English showing prices from A to B, or work with zones.

* Give the drivers training in english and hospitality/manners.

* Teach the drivers the principles of not killing their own goose.

* 6 month inspection of the vehicles, as much automated as possible to avoid corruption.

GOOD LUCK to the Japanese man. I am sorry for hin.

We Thai all know who the biggest Maffia is in Thailand. It's those ones who are supposed to combat the Maffia; we call them Tamluad

In picture 5 that guy looks really mean. Not a pleasant face. Hope he will rot in jail, but she "just" being a hooker he could well walk of soon.

Dr. Foutre au cul prefers us to drink water, from which more then 50 % coming out of vending machines is unsafe to drink.

Instead of annoying everyone and hiding behind an archaic law, better have the team checking the water vending machines... No? Oh yes of course, I understand Doctor, there is no monkey money to be made there....

I can not speak for the volume of business in Surin pubs today. But at 3p.m. Thursday today there were 14 well dressed expats enjoying a meal and/or libation at Paddys Irish Bar in Buriram. Certainly brisk trade in October in Buriram at just one establishment.

That was a visiting football team..

Who cares.....

The most succinct reply, the only reason there are so many girls is that sexual mores have changed- it is now social acceptable to abuse the low paid poor local population. No punters- no prostitutes .

It seems that a vast majority of TV members constantly rabbit on about the availability of prostitutes- they are women selling their bodies- is that good?

It will take time- but this country will wake up and close down all those ghastly beer bars ( or is it bar beers) and bring about a bit of dignity to the Thai people .

About 90% of prostitution is for and used by the locals. The kind of places you and I will never see, with real forced prostitution of underage girls from neighboring counties...all for the Thai so they can respect themselves.

The places for farang is only 10 % of the total... the farang takes the tip of the Iceberg. Thwse are facts so perhaps you could adjust your thoughts. ...

This is not an old thing, as one poster has said. It is relatively new. Amongst other things, one of the reasons is that word gets around of all of the scams. One other reason, as someone had mentioned, is cost. Why would tourist come to Thailand and pay as much for a restaurant meal and a beer as they would at home?

Or pay as much or more for a hooker here than back home... Any ad I reply on craiglist or other they ask 2000 or 3000 for ST... that's a lot compared to Europe.

And even the hookers start to get a "f.ck you farang attitude. Now thwy cry tjat we dont come anymore.... Som nam na Thailand. You get what you deserved.

eu wipe Your own ass before you wipe somone else ass. the biggest problem in europe and eu is massive uregulated immigration by terrorist from the middle....

and what eu are doing they will but their Citizens in danger, it will results With war... eu memer states who refues to Accept refugees threatended With sanctions from eu brussel... lack off Democracy in the eu, the Citizens in the eu do no want have allah hu akhbar and isis in to europe...

hopefully i will not be in the war zone in europe when that happen

I am afraid you are mixing up different things. I am sure Europe can multi task. The slavery conditions in the Thai fishing industry have nothing to do with the influx of people fleeing war zones.

And 2 questions for you:

1) Should EU not be concerned with where it's food is coming from? Should it accept to eat fish caught by slaves?

2) Would it be better to send the fleeing masses back, like Thailand send back the Uighurs, from which several have been killed right away once arrived back in China?

Don't be so selfish.

The solution is pretty easy. Let the Army solve it between 2 Governors: when the old one is out and the new one not yet in. How to solve? Arrest all those tugs (which for sure are well known) charge them with extortion, damage to the Kingdom's tourism industry, theft, violence and more and transfer them to Bangkok to be judged. Confiscate their jet ski's and crush them like they do with illegal CD's...

Problem solved, forever

That's the while problem here.... a local Governor together with the local jet ski Maffia have more power than the voice of all the foreign envoys together...

Shows you the respect Thai's have for the international community and the tourists that bring a large part of the GDP. Not!!!

Probably the metropolitan did not pay the officers at Lumpini to find the footage. That station is one 0f the most corrupt. I experienced it first hand... Headquarters and internal investigation should raid it.

Oops I used 120v for my Ampere calculation but it's 220v. So 10/30A means 2200w/6600w which is even worse or not?

Nikko, please dont put the Europeans down by such stupid mistakes... are you dumb like a tulip?

ALL of those packages fit into the bumper of a Toyota Camry?

When a woman is driving you need a big bumper...

Dear Karl,

I expect you to loose this battle of principles.

It is held during working hours and is dine by a majority of thai companies and government offices, even the labor court have their yearly outing...

Not going could be seen as refusal to work or take an order.

They probably would just enjoy you joining with them. Open your mind and heart and, as you have to be there anyway, this is your opportunity to show that actually you are a nice social guy, not a lonesome one. Bring some cash so you could offer everyone an ice cream or something else. This day might change your position in the company and within the Thai coworkers in a positivé way... If you take it positive and participate. I would not suggest isolating yourself.

Good luck and make the best of it... I know your feelings and how difficult it is... Once you did it you will see, it's not that bad....

2000 USD is 70.000 thb... Too little for the hassle.

Forget the legal way, that will cost you much more. Look for some commission hunter. Legal or illegal, that should not be your problem. Your only problem is to get your money back.

How come this little cocoaches operating the jetski's are allowed so much power. Maffia is a too nice of a word for them. These are just tug cheaters with no class at all. It is easy to reign in, if they wanted to. All those talks and meetings are just smoke...

But it's mentality, thinking it is ok to ask for more then the normal fare. It happens all over Thailand. It's bad and makes those in charge and all the others look like they are from a backward place.

You are already hurt. Your jealousy is killing you.

Does she likes you? Yes she does.

Does she shag other man from time to time? Probably she does. She also does not want to stay lonely and knows you are not sure about this relationship neither.

Does she go to the wrong clubs? Yes she does

Is she the only one wrong? Probably not. your jealousy is opressing.

Does she lie? In the Thai culture that's very normal. It's a different culture.

Will she tall you the whole truth, past or present? She will neverm She can't, it's part of the culture.

Why don't you hire Thaiprivateeye to find out for you if it is a must for you to know all details?

Will this relationship last? I think it will never. Not only because of her but because of your dreams of 100% clarity. European jealousy will not match.

Should you end the relationship? If you do so do it in a nice way. She has perhaps not told you the whole truth but she has been good to you on many ways, and still calls you everyday. Be nice to her, please.

Ps: if you want me to find out something for you please PM me.

The smoke comes from your balcony because you are farang. Thai would never do such thing to other Thai.

Good procedures in place. Well trained BTS - G4S staff. CONGRATULATIONS to BTS on how this is handled. I am sure everyone understands the situation. Good luck to the girl. Hope she recovers fast.

Hoe many cameras does the city have?

And then only some grainy shots of one of the main tourist attractions.... Weird.

I would fire the whole bunch if I was in charge.

it might work for a fan, but an airco is at least 1000 kwH ...

1000 KWh = 1,000,000 watt. Not too sure you are right.

It is a really sad event. Most probably she did not see the cops car that was standing still. Of course she is distressed and traumatized. I dont think she is acting. She is just very upset at having killed someone.
The whole poor/rich discussion is misplaced and shows little respect to the victim and Ms. Anna. She will live on with this sense of guilt for the rest of her life.

I am sorry for the Police man, his family, friends and colleagues. I am also sorry for Ms. Anna.

Let the financial compensaiton bring some feeling of soulace.

R.I.P.

PS: The TV showing all details, the deceased body, his ID, and taking/showing all of his belongings... That is of little respect.
