  1. Paradorn said demonstrators had also agreed to reopen roads into another government complex in the northern outskirts of Bangkok to enable officials to return to work.

    Must be part of Sutheps Victory plan over his non-agreement to the Win-Win proposal. rolleyes.gif

    Go ahead, start to lose face you stupid, losing fascist lunatic.

    no, no, you got it wrong, the government are the fascists!

    i saw a poster at a protest site saying the the government are 'worse than the nazis' - i think someone needs to read up on recent european history before designing the next poster...

  2. this is a well known situation at all levels of thai government and internationally.

    there was a recent bbc documentary about slavery on thai fishing boats. the corruption at all levels was clear for anyone to see. the police pay lip service to the problem and collect their cut.

    the EU representative in thailand was interviewed - as the EU is a major market for thai fish - and he basically wasnt interested in doing anything to pressurize the thai government to respond to the problem.

    too many people are making too much money

  3. Insurances are invented to MAKE money nothing else...

    of course they make money thats the point of being in business - or would you start a business to make a loss?!

    as for doing 'nothing else', a completely incorrect and ill informed statement:

    i'm no fan of insurance companies however my home was flooded last year. the insurance company responded immediately and professionally. they provided all the support required, easing the stress and strain on myself, and settled the 40,000 GBP claim efficiently and completely.

  4. you're not there for the formative years of your children's lives. what do you expect?

    if you want to be part of your children's lives then your priorities need to change.

    dont blame others for your failings as a father.

    be there for your children, be a father to your children or risk the consequences.

  5. as i remember the pick up charge was 35 baht 10 years ago, so no increase to take into account inflation or rising fuel costs since then.

    i live in bangkok, as does my gf, and we use taxi's almost daily. we never take a taxi that is sitting waiting or with drivers that approach us and we dont take taxi's outside hotels or other tourist places.

    it is rare that a driver will not use the meter. it is more common that the driver will not go where we want to go and while annoying one who will soon turns up.

    i know bangkok pretty well and i honestly cant remember the last time a driver didn't take me the route i myself would have taken.

    i have no bangkok taxi driver complaints.
