The pachyderms are mad as hell...and are not going to take it anymore...

That is what clothes do when you wash them...if you want them to remain like new...do not wash them...

Whatever direction you decide to go with your investment...be careful to double check all baht transactions for possible..."errors"...

Timing is everything...along with location...in a retail type business...

Customer numbers are down in most of Thailand...

Could be years...if ever...they get back to 2012-2013 tourist numbers...

Tourist baht and ex-pat baht filter down thru Thai economy...

Volume of baht transactions are down significantly from previous years...

Don't ask...Don't tell...keeping a low profile is still a good idea in many countries who are hostile to the gay community...

The way the Obama administration handles it's foreign affairs...defies logic...is insulting...and is causing former friends of the US to look elsewhere for commerce and security...

Who can blame them?

This guy should become the poster boy for the TOT to show tourist the kind of crooked vendors to expect when walking the streets of Thailand...

• All requests for private jet flights through Phuket must be submitted and approved through the coordinators.

Love to have one of those "coordinators" jobs...the perks must be very rewarding...

News Flash! Important correction. Summit to be held to fight against ISLAMIC violent extremism...

There now I have said it...what so many politicians seem afraid to say...call it like it is...do not let these thugs intimidate you...

And yes...I am personally armed and dangerous for those who would try to force their religion or medieval laws upon me and my family...

The time honored blame game...bring up irrelevant events that are not germane or appropriate to the current discussion...

Fact is...Christians are not YET killing Muslims...Muslims are destroying entire cultures of Christians...what more do you need to know...

Was she even the legal owner with a right to sell ?

Let this be a lesson...never put your wife's name on something you do not want her to sell when she gets pissed at you...

Thais could easily adapt this advice when dealing with horny drunk farangs:

1. Pause your vehicle at least 30 meters apart if spotting a horny drunk farang crossing the road. If the horny drunk farang walks closer, shift your car in reverse gear, maintain your composure and drive off slowly. Wait patiently until the farang beast walks off the road and start to drive pass.

2. Don’t blow the horn or make any noise to disturb the horny drunk farang as the noise could enrage and stimulate it to charge at as its ears are sensitive to the horn tweeters.

3. Don’t photograph the farang beast with flash on as it could frighten and turn it to charge, or arouse its interest to come closer to explore.

4. Always keep the car engine on so as to turn back in time if the horny drunk farang walks closer. The bass noise of the engine will not disturb or frighten it as it is familiar with such noise from vehicles and it is not interested in it.

5. In case of driving at night and encountering horny drunk farang, always keep the headlights on and try to observe its signs and keep a distance from it. Don’t flash the lights as this could draw its attention and walk up to the vehicle.

Hope this helps!

"I thought it was an armed foreign ship ... because in that region there have been many incidents of armed boats robbing Thai fishermen,"

Maybe they have just discovered who has REALLY be firing at fishing boats in that area...

Why do the police have gun boats?

I doubt that the dance was very sexy...but the young scantly clad ladies...now that's sexy...

Maybe they are going to sell them on the illegal dog meat market...and don't want to be seen with them until they take them to market...

With all due respect...when you marry a Thai...what was yours becomes part to the extended Thai families...they will beg, borrow, and steal...never expect to pay anything back...or take responsibility for maintenance or upkeep...and become somewhat taken-back...when a farang complains...

This man should stand trial...allow the women accusers to state their cases...let a jury decide if it is a laughing matter...

Where are the authorities to bring charges against Bill Cosby?...who has scores of women charge him with drugging them and having sexual relations while unable to resist....

He is protected by his celebrity status...

Money and fame has its perks...

The REAL question here is...what political motive does this administration have in pressing charges against Petraeus?

This would be a good time...and a good place for the world to unite...both Muslims and non-Muslims to confront these animals who are totally out of control...

Bring in a united military to crush these evil thugs...we can not allow people like this to operate with impunity...

The Chinese...many of which have recently moved from the rice paddies to the middle class...feel entitled...want to be catered to...and refuse to act civilized while showing their axxes...

Who is the leader of this country...? One can not aspire to be King...but can possibly become the PM thru the military...

Yes...like it or not...this is "Thainess"...taken to the extreme...alcohol mixed with knives and firearms = someone dead or hospitalized...

What the kids want...is for the adults...to grow-up and stop behaving like children...

Oh boy...her comes a police vs military confrontation...not good for future cooperation in joint crime suppression...
