Switzerland???? Are you f.......    kidding me. Women can't go out in the streets for fear of being raped, crime is rampant caused by migrants?  Professional people especially women are leaving the country in droves. Garbage and feces all over the streets. The writers of this has more than a few screws loose.

 

You are little confused. Maybe you are thinking about Swaziland. 

I don't really care, but this report rates 9.5 on a boredom average. Let me guess, the guy with the microphone is actually listening to himself drone on and on about 'trips'. As everyone in  the audience ran out screaming and waving their hands wildly in the air, after 2 minutes.

Just because Muhammad did it, doesn't mean you can. 

Who would be surprised at this?  In the land of scams, just about everyone is being scammed including the Thais, only the streetwise and the alertly cynical escape being scam victims. King Power is still the biggest scam at Suvarnabhumi. Mind you, you have to be pretty stupid to buy so called 'duty free' at a price which is often twice what you would pay for the same item in a Bangkok mall.

Can't find a better hospital picture?

And here's a picture of the patient in recovery.

Same old story. Bans rejected because too much money is at stake. Always take the easy way that will pad out your bank balance , regardless of the many thousands of people that are suffering because of your wanton avarice. Ever wondered about the very high cancer rate in Thailand, and those huge crowds that are always waiting outside public hospitals?

Birds nest 'collectors' have decided to join the foray. That's good news, at least the birds will get some respite from those damn thieves. 

Those boxes should each have a red bicycle light in them, on flash mode they will stay flashing for 48 hours, and are so bright, they can be seen from a mile away, with one in each box, the cave will look like a disco.

With so many people from so many countries now on site, this operation has reached critical mass, and has taken on a momentum all of it's own, an unstoppable force which will likely see the missing boys found eventually. Let's hope someone capable is orchestrating and coordinating the show, or it risks deteriorating into a chaotic Tower of Babel.

No doubt we will be 'enlightened' with another terribly inappropriate comment as soon as he opens his mouth. That much can be relied on at least. 

Has anyone with a flat stomach ever ridden a Harley? Or would it just topple over? Just wondering.

That's nice, they can join the 1000 people from all over Thailand already working to free the missing boys. A team of 10 to 20 people who really know this cave system well would probably be the answer.

As it's a football team, and the World Cup is on, how long will it be before FIFA sees an opportunity to help it's corruption tarnished image with vigils, minute's silences, cash for the village..........and all that kind of stuff.

It wouldn't have been so bad if the building had been in a sympathetic alpine style, but these look like they were built by  North Koreans, in the brutalist 'Thai Modern' school of architecture.

Get those judiciary maggots out of there, and return the site to the jungle.

And the point is? Are they doing something wrong? Cause the rest of the world is exactly in the same situation.

Not really, most Germans are not in debt, and feel a deep sense of shame if they are put in that situation, and that is as it should be. The Dutch and Scandinavians are similar, anywhere that has a deeply rooted Protestant work ethic. 

Most Thais are in debt, between 100.000 baht and a million usually. If they stop working, they'll be living off their credit cards, or more likely off family members who are also in debt. It's all going to end in tears.

The basic rules for 'happy' financial probity are:

1. Don't have a credit card, and don't borrow.

2. Don't spend your capital.

3. If you don't have the money, don't buy it.

4. Embrace austerity if you have to, and find ways to benefit from that situation, for example, finding beneficial pastimes that cost little or nothing.

Typical British traveller, think the empire still exists and they can still colonise any land they step foot on.

Now let's see who's dumb enough to take offence at this without me having to spell it out

Your picture suggests you are from the Congo, so why not have a go at the Belgians?
