  1. "He decided to demonstrate his biking skills to his friends"

    The guy is a pro and I bet his mates are still pissing themselves laughing.

    They need to make it law that you can't hire a bike unless you have a motorcycle licence.

    Or fix up the roads , so there are no pot holes in the city center?

    Yes, all the blame rests with the road, of course it does.

  2. Good for the South Koreans. They don't trust Thai "justice."

    No. Thai officials have asked for Korean officials to observe. Smart move so there can be no accusations of incorrect procedure during the interrogation.

    It also means that the police probably intend to throw the book at the perpetrator.

    That possibility, combined with how rapidly they caught him suggests the victim has good connections. She looks like she has too.

    "...the victim has good connections. She looks like she has too."

    You have the ability to identify a complete stranger's connections from a photograph of the back of her head? Talented man, or another obtuse attempt at Thai police-bashing.

  3. Actually, the On Nut night market has several food vendors with western foods and English menus. It's been pretty good fare in my limited experiences. You will see a lot of farangs with their GFs and wives eating and drinking there.

    A must-to-avoid, then.

  4. I'm not sure why this journalist (who by the way would not be able to write this article if she wasn't in complete support of the Junta due to the current Orwellian scale suppression of free speech), decided to single out the USA unless she already had an axe to grind.

    The European Union, which presently consists of 28 countries and has a total population of just over 500 million citizens (504,456,000), has taken basically the same stance as the USA so you can rail against all 29 countries and 800 million citizens of those countries but it's not like the USA is the only government that has criticized the coup. In fact, the only countries supportive of the coup are those with fake democracies like Russia or no democracy like China.

    I'm not sure why this article was reposted here - the admin think it was time for some good old America bashing? I can't say anything inflammatory on this forum about the Thai government but it's OK to isolate the USA for bashing over the same criticism given to Thailand by 28 other Western countries?

    The EU and USA are not the same as the collective 800m citizens you refer to. Opposition to what is happening in Thailand is not coming from 800m people at all, it's coming from the EU's and USA's representatives of those people, many millions of whom are not happy being represented by those few individuals.

  5. Excellent article, spoiled, unfortunately, by the banal, bizarre reference to the bloody Bee Gees.

    Why do so many people, including some TV posters, make references such as that? How does the inclusion of statements like "in the words of"...(insert your own choice of insignificant pop song writer, or film star, for goodness sake)and then a hideously asinine quotation from that person's song/film help the writer's credibility? Eg:-

    What was it John Wayne said?

    Or perhaps it was Gary Cooper who said it.

    "Get off your horse and drink your milk"

  6. I think if you took a look at the chassis, it will be one of these 'stitched together' dubious imports. Quite common to cut them in half and re-weld them in chop shops to avoid lots of cost. MLM, he nearly became a bit multi leveled himself, car, body, amulet, car.

    Oz

    It is weird. A Lambo should not split in half like that at 150kph. He was probably going faster or it is a hack job.

    Could be a real one I suppose.

    It didn't split in half at 150kph, it split in half after hitting a tree at 150kph.

  7. The only reason he walked away is more than likely that he was NOT wearing his seatbelt, and his body was so relaxed through intoxification that he simply rolled a few times down the road.

    Those are facts, are they? Ridiculous.

  8. returning on a fake Armenian passport

    so the visa is either a fake or another immigration/consulate payoff along the line ................non Thai mafia is not allowed on the work permit list also

    The visa is real, fake ones don't get revoked. Why should there be "another immigration/consulate(?) payoff along the line"?

  9. When instructing the remitting bank, the sender can specify a "value date" (the date the funds can be withdrawn) although the bank will never tell you that. If no value date is indicated the funds may, or may not, hit your account and be available the same day. Some banks sit on the funds, some don't. If a value date was specified the funds will be available on that date.

    The time of the banking day that the transfer request was made to the remitting bank also has an effect on the date of availability of the funds, all banks have a cut-off time for international transfers.
