Great news because the baht buses are a major cause of traffic congestion problems. 

maybe I should take my Jack Russell down there after dark and let him have some fun!!

But they did tour together when Taurus was played and STH had not been recorded.

The vaccine in Mexico was developed by SanofiPasteur. This company has also been working in Thailand with many doctors.

Must have been a different Walking Street to the one we saw last night. It seemed rather quiet, but there were some tarts wearing red.

Must be then, don't know if there is a walking street in Blackpool, but I doubt the image is doctored like you seem to suggest.

No suggestion of doctoring, just my experience was that it was very quiet. Many business owners have mentioned that it is quiet.

It would be helpful to show a comparison of the costs for seed, fertiliser and pesticide in Thailand compared to other ASEAN countries and also compare yields. I understand that Thai yields are quite low (around 33rd in the world). With the current water crisis the situation is only going to get worse. and could lead to social unrest.

The article fails to mention that this is not a Thai designed product. It is designed by Ricardo Defence of the UK and many of its major components are actually from International companies.

The USA is so hypocritical and must think that everyone is stupid. After telling everyone that there was no moderate opposition they are now complaining that Russia is bombing non-Islamists but cannot tell them who these non-Islamists are! They are all Al Qaeda or ISIS and need to be destroyed.

The tragedy was caused by diversion of pilgrims to accommodate the visit of a prince. That seems to be a reason for covering up the disaster.

Do you have a source or is that just chinese (or saudi) whispers?

Ah.

On Saturday, Saudi Arabia categorically denied "misleading and distorted allegations" about road closures that it believes started through Iranian state-controlled media.

"Claims that the stampede occurred following road closures because of a ministerial event or a dignitaries convoy are false," said Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, Saudi ambassador to the United Kingdom and Ireland, in a statement.

The Lebanese daily al Diyar is the source referenced in many news articles. The Saudis are totally untrustworthy - it was God's will! They still will not admit the real number of dead.

"Prayut must be judged by Thais, not outsiders"

So have an election then and see how he gets on??

Sorry I have no intention or wish to flame you my friend as that is not my way as I accept other folk's views, even if I believe they are very wrong. However I have to say that our statement is as daft and ignorant as those hegemonic imbeciles in Washington, and indeed London and Berlin and other US vassal nations too, who have clearly no real knowledge and understanding of the situation here and should thus maybe simply mind their own bloody business until they do. Why do we want a return to the turmoil and near civil war we had before ?? As that is exactly what would happen if we had elections now under the flawed FPTP based electoral system that was in place here before ?? Please get real on that score as we should all know that it is exactly the truth on this score.

Be patient as elections WILL come when the time is right and when Thailand has a constitution in place that in future does NOT allow minority elected Governments to prevail, which clearly and understandably cannot gain the respect, recognition and acceptance by the majority of the Thai people. In Democracy the minority must NEVER prevail or it simply isn't democracy, and there can be no valid arguments acceptable on that point. Democracy WILL return here but only once they have an agreed new sound constitution in place. If, as it seems, they are proposing to go down the path of a German style PR electoral system, then maybe Thailand can at last have TRUE democracy, where the majority will reigns supreme. If that results in a coalition Government, then that would only be if that is how the people voted, and as such the participating coalition parties simply HAVE to agree on consensus policies overall acceptable to both sides involved, and that would importantly imply acceptable by the majority of the Thai people. Sure the excesses of either side cannot then prevail and neither should they of course. Now that IS TRUE democracy.

Once again I repeat that Proportional Representation (PR), or at least AV as they have in Australia, is the only way to true majority will democracy, which they clearly do not have in so many corrupt places like the USA and UK. You can see the distorted and democratically wrong results when you look at the UK election earlier this year, when Cameron and his right wing Tories attained just 36.7% of the popular vote, and yet disgustingly and unacceptably got into exclusive power control of the UK Government with a small but workable overall majority of just 8 seats in the house. You have to realise that this is despite 62.3% of the people not wanting his right wing Tory crap to prevail unopposed, as such personally I do not recognise the current UK Government at all as that is worse than the temporary and needed so called dictatorship here which probably has more percentage people support than the UK Government does!

So once again, we must all wait patiently until we have the new constitution in place and accepted by referendum, then and ONLY then will it be correct and intelligent to return Thailand to democracy. Prayut is intelligent and sensible enough to know that, so maybe the Thai people should all put their efforts into helping him achieve that honourable aim, with the final referendum acceptance by the Thai people. In the mean time I personally think Prayut is doing a great job overall, despite a few very necessary temporary controls. To me Thailand has right now the best stability and governance I have seen since I arrived here to live in 2003, and I truly mean that too. Whatever, my personal, and I am sure the majority Thai folk's wish, is for the Thai people to truly get the Government that they elect by a TRUE DEMOCRATIC majority will, or if that is how the people vote then a consensus coalition Government which should also then be acceptable as it will still respect the overall majority will. But please no more 500 Baht vote buying and other such electoral corruptions, which IMHO the guilty should be heavily punished by long jail sentences, as electoral corruption is inexcusable in a democracy.

Elections and the charade of Thai democracy are irrelevant. The rich and powerful will not allow any changes to 0.1% of the population controlling more than 50% of Thailand's wealth.

If Thailand does not care about International opinion when its government carries out extra-judicial killings, murders innocents in the South, enslaves people on illegal fishing vessels. That is OK because Thais are Thais and they know what is right for Thailand.

Just don't complain when the tourists don't come, the EU imposes a fisheries ban, foreign investors start directing their money to countries that are operating more in line with International human rights and the rule of law.

I don't believe in climate change either. The atmosphere is so huge that all the smoke stacks in china burning for 10 years would be like a pin head in the universe.

It's load of garbage ........ the earth will still be here in 100mil years and the climate may be warmer or cooler as it has been for the last 100mil years.

We can see your great scientific skills and reasoning. Fortunately real scientists can actually quantify the size of the atmosphere, the impact of pollutants and show that man has an impact on climate.

The climate change debate is over! The vast majority of scientific evidence supports the impact of Man on climate and 95% of real scientists accept we must do something about it.

Huckabee is simply a retarded bigot like many American fundamentalist Christians.

A lot of Walking Street bar owners are saying that business is about 20% down on last year and last year was not a good year. This was before the bombing in Bangkok.

The biggest tourist groups are Chinese and Indians on package tours.

A GMP certified laboratory?

Both THE US National Intelligence Estimate and the Israeli Intelligence agree that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program! Iran has the right to develop nuclear energy as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Iran is justifiably wary of the USA given that the USA overthrew a democratically elected government to steal Iran's oil assets and install the brutal regime of the Shah.

Iran has never threatened to attack Israel; they have simply stated that the racist Zionist regime should be an historical footnote and many people around the world agree with that statement.

The current deal is the best that can be achieved and Iran has surrendered considerable sovereignty to achieve the deal.

All threats to launch a military strike against Iran are illegal under the UN Charter - not that the USA or Israel seem to give a damn about their legal obligations.

The author writes with the typical Thai attitude of a juvenile that wishes to accept no responsibility for their actions.

Thailand's behavior on most of the items mentioned deserves International condemnation for not adhering to norms of acceptable behavior. The comment regarding human trafficking is laughable - who has been prosecuted for what appears to be a well organised and undoubtedly very profitable slave labor ring?

You talk about military purchases but Thailand does not register on the US arms purchase list of customers - the last aircraft Thailand bought were from Sweden and I doubt whether the US is concerned about where Thailand buys its arms, especially as they seem to be used mainly to control the population.

As one commentator pointed out, Thailand needs the US a lot more than the US needs Thailand. Thais need to grow up and act with maturity and compassion, rather than acting like a spoilt brat.

My dog had quite a few ticks. Bought one if these collars a few weeks ago and no ticks so far.

A retard step.

Pattaya is no longer an inexpensive destination and as tourist numbers decline businesses seem to increase their prices.

Pattaya needs to refurbish its image and get rid of some of the seedier elements - like hundreds of bar girls standing on Walking Street trying to attract customers.
