The title seems wrong... shouldn't it read.

Thai Policeman does his job - Phuket Governor believes he is above the law.

An example of all that is wrong in Thai society today: When those with power and money behave as they do setting the tone and example of 'entitlement' to all who follow...

Perhaps the police need more 'nutters' like him who are not afraid of the 'Do you know who I am' brigade.

I'm not a Pangolin but I must admit that I'm sniggering.

I the old days many men would have been carrying a pocket knife. I expect a Swiss Army knife would have a special blade for cutting boys hair when they get stuck in an escalator. Glad he is OK and has learned a lesson. I'm waiting for a report that the parents will be demanding compensation.

Rest in peace Master Sgt.

Are you getting lady fat? Give me a kiss and I'll tell you.

Is a grave a grave if you don't know if there is a body in it?

An empty grave sounds about right.

'The authorities are looking into it'

The absent healing that was sent is called REIKI. It is Universal Healing and can change and heal in the present, future or the past. To send Absent Healing the REIKI Practitioner will be a level 2 or a

A fake fakir more likely

And be careful accepting other people's unwanted termite infested furniture...

This video is worthy of a slot on a television nature program.

I wonder if something made the Maltese Cross? RIP

'I'm going to kill myself. That'll learn you'. My brain hurts.

The reason that they do not sound their horn is that they do not want to get shot! I suggest that you follow the same advice.

Is this broadcast on major TV stations? The problem is that Thais believe in fate, and that if its going to happen it's going to happen. They are not in control of their destiny, so they don't bother with safety measures. The exceptions are the more educated and worldly among the populace. Let's hope it has some impact.

The exceptions are........ Do you really believe that? Obviously you do not follow the news.

typical red shirt thinking, we can do as we please and no one can stop us.

And you don't think the same applies to the junta ... Only difference is that they currently have the power to force their views on everyone

" Power corrupts! Absolute power corrupts absolutely"!

Scrumping!! Advice given to me many years ago'Don't climb mango trees'. The branches are not very strong.

'They found a coach directly in front of them'? This is a very dangerous road with coach drivers often the offenders, pulling into the opposing traffic lane to bully their way through. Not in this case maybe. For a long time the yellow broken and unbroken lines had been applied in reverse. Indicating that it was OK to overtake on a left hand bend and on the approach to a brow of a hill?? Not as though drivers obey the road markings, or traffic laws come to that.

Police found nine women and 17 men - all undocumented - crammed into the vehicle designed to carry up to 10 passengers.

The number of passengers is nothing compared to the local vans that transport students back and forth to schools daily. I don't even want to get started ranting about the song taews that are so loaded that school kids are literally hanging off the back of the vehicle. Of course they are ignored by the police.

So over loaded that the front wheels are barely in touch with the ground. How many kids have fallen off the back of these I wonder.

Thailand must understand that now that they are playing with the big boys they cannot ignore issues and international law. The big boys do not have a Mai ben rai culture and will not allow Thailand to use it.

When we had horse and cart delivery services in UK when I was a kid we used to collect the horse dung and put it on our rhubarb. I must confess, I preferred custard

Is he going to beat the rap.

There will be some individual examples in Ukraine or Sweden etc who fit the accepted spec for beautiful - but they will be exceptions. I think Thailand is tough to beat for a generally high standard of good looking girls.

If you sat in a mall or street-side coffee shop in Thailand I bet you'd not need to wait for more than 5 minutes before seeing a really pretty girl walk by.

Do the same in most other countries and you'd need to get few cups of coffee and a cream bun before you saw a really nice girl walk by.

Or a few pints of beer

What about Liverpool?

Slightly changing the topic which I believe has been on another forum,but anyway.

Small flying insects like mini bees, which like to make gooey nests in small holes, and if disturbed swarm and give minor bites more than stings. I have had these nesting in the ends of the revolving poles of my retractable blinds. Have sprayed the with many insecticides to no avail. This week I unrolled the blind and observed repeating holes as I unrolled it. Something had eaten into the blind right through to the roller. So making a repeating pattern which when unrolled looks like lace curtains. My first thought was it must be a rat, or squirrels which abound in my garden. But when I unrolled the blind completely, the bees/flies whatever had produced their sticky goo along the length of the rollers recess, the same length as the eaten pattern in the blind. Question. Could it be the bees/flies eating their way out, or rats/squirrels eating their way in? Do these ants eat blind material? Any one with experience and advice on this. Sorry it has been so long winded.

I suppose the black humour reply to 'what would I get etc' would be a cuddly bear for an injury and anything off the top shelf and a cuddly bear, for a death. The obvious serious answer is, a big problem. First, were you driving too fast, knowing that so called revelers are abroad. Second, letting your daughter out on a motorbike, knowing as before. Last, you are a farang, and unless your wife is someone like mine who enjoys berating policemen to defend you, you will be in deep brown stuff!

Are they playing God? It's a kind of Frankenstein story...ethical incorrect...should be banned

God gave humans the intelligence to allow development of this technology. Would it be unethical not to use the intelligence bestowed upon us?

By that argument. 'God gave us the intelligence to kill our fellow man. Would it be unethical not to use the intelligence bestowed upon us'?

My nephew has got a head he is not using. Any offers?
