Greedy bastard deserves to spend the rest of his time behind bars...thinking about how things might have turned out differently had he played by the rules...

At one point Mr. Safin handed over his wallet to the man!

You can not make this stuff up! This is beyond naïve...would be classified as a "special kind of stupid"...

assault by 20 Thai Men on 4 customers from Kuwait.

This made me laugh out loud...but unfortunately is so common as there are no fair fights in Thailand...mob mentality takes over when one of their own is threatened by a disgruntled tourist...This is Thailand...Love it...or Leave it...!

I do not mean this ugly...but wouldn't the elimination of feral cats be a good thing?

Wounded...Upset...these are words the little lady uses when you come home drunk at 4am in the morning...

Grow some balls and address the issue in a forthright manner...no weeping and looking for sympathy please...we hope you are bigger than that...

Martial law in Thailand at this time...is not a bitter pill...but a necessary evil to prevent Thais from warring against one another...have you forgotten?

to inform policies in areas such as education, human resources and immigration.

These are areas that are recognized as needing improvements by everyone...except the proud Thais...who do not take constructive criticism very well...

trying to cheat passengers, particularly foreigners, whom they view as easy targets. These unscrupulous habits threaten to drive visitors away and damage Thailand's allure for tourists.

This is so common...cheating foreigners...that it has already driven away many potential visitors...Thailand is damaged goods as a tourist destination...

Thailand has dignity and we respect every country.

Oh P l e a s e...get over it already...

Your whining is messing up my beer...that I am allowed to buy at pre-set hours of the day...

We all have our crosses to carry...how you carry yours is the measure of a man...

Eventually I escaped the hospital.Eventually I escaped the hospital.

I have a friend who has lived in Thailand for over 20 years...is constantly telling people that Thailand has the best doctors and hospitals at the best price in the world...yes...for him...Thailand can do no wrong...is truly the paradise he has always imagined...

In the Land of Smiles..."Sticks and Stones may Break my Bones...but Words could place me in Prison"

What "rules of war"...try to tell Hamas or ISIS...tell them that they have violated the "rules of war"...or how about Russia, US and Chinese...all guilty of crimes against humanity...where is the hue and cry for justice against these countries atrocities...?

Am I the only on who doubts any thing the Thai police reports?

Please...stop your van-taxi service and save hundreds of live each year in Thailand...

How appropriate to exact this time honored tradition of assault...no less in BKKs old city...how appropriate...Welcome to Thailand...

Speaking out in Thai politics could cause one to be arrested, jailed, kangaroo court, sentenced to years of imprisonment...or worse (found dead after committing suicide)...very dangerous business...

We are not talking about how ugly the guy is...how loud or foul mouthed he was...we are talking about political revenge for calling another politician out...that is part a partial of being a democracy...which they still were at the time of this incident...

This country continues it's military march down the sewer...

He implied during an address at Chulalongkorn University that the impeachment of Yingluck was "politically driven".

What on earth caused him to come up with a crazy idea like that?

Those who are "wounded" need to grow some balls and a stiff upper lip...

Try to forgive US Assistant of State for Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Russell as he forgot for a moment that he was speaking freely in Military Dictatorship which has no use for free speech or expressions of disapproval...

It is a maximum security prison with room for 1,600 particularly dangerous prisoners.

You get caught doing the crime...you deserve to suffer the consequences...

There is a good chance that this Dane will not live long enough to make it to trial...

The police did not interfere with the scuffle out side the police station as they were too busy placing their bets as to which one would be the winner...

It is remarkable that this could be a daily occurrence in Thailand...that is the senseless deaths of foreigners...and there seems to be no concerted effort to try and discover a solution to reduce the number of foreign deaths...

Doesn't Thailand take responsibility of its guests that come here to have a good time and spend gobs of money to support tens of thousands of Thai people? Where are the Thai officials...angry at the statistics...calling for an investigation into why there are so very many foreigners dying here?

Being a democratic country does not mean that corruption automatically disappears...constant vigilance by the public and elected officials to root out the unethical officials is an on-going process and never ever ends...

Here is a fine example of a "military style" democracy in action...

From ask.com:

A political system for choosing and replacing the government through free and fair elections.

2. The active participation of the people, as citizens, in politics and civic life.

3. Protection of the human rights of all citizens.

4. A rule of law, in which the laws and procedures apply equally to all citizens.

From this description it would appear that the present Thai government has some work to do...
