I am currently in Kazakhstan and the temperature is dropping like a stone.  Even with the attic clothing the company gives out you are still freezing.

Can't say I have seen many Thai's out here

Really? Any genuine proficient   martial  artist  would  expect some  question as  to  Sempai or other verification  if  not  by  challenge  at  some  point.

For   Monks it  has  been  instituted  in the  population  to  respect  the  robes,  not  the  person.  

Sadly  that  means  that  any  male  who   chooses  to  escape into  the  role  of   being  a  Monk  simply  needs  to  acquire  the  robes.

Any  theology is  irrelevant. So  those   that  pretend  the  role  are  never  challenged  so long as  they  do  not  indulge  in   any  activities  that  attract negative  attention.

Government  attempts  to  ensure  validity by  way  of   Monk  ID  cards  is  some what  pointless  given  the  annual  seasonal  influx  of   the  eldest  son   being  inducted  into  the  Monkhood  at   extraordinary   cost   for   a  duration  often limited   to  days does  nothing  to  reduce  the  farce.

The  general  population  who   are  satisfied  by  the  image  to which  they  pay   homage for  self   merit  actually   only  feed  the  ideal of  the   farce. 

But  what  difference  is  there from  the  Lay Preacher   who  is   successful  enough  to  attract  customers  to a regular  television media  event where  if  the  punter  sends   cash   will  receive  prayers   for  salvation?

 

You are missing the point the now is to resoect the belt in martial arts not the person

It's begging for people to lazy, or too unskilled, to work.  When I see monks paying cash for expensive Pentax cameras, iPhone and iPads, and other high end items, which I have seen many times, using the money donated for the temple, all I can do is laugh at the stupidity of the people who believe in this Thai hogwash. There are no true Buddhist in Thailand.

 

I see it as similar to martial arts. You show respect the belt of the martial artist even if you have no regard for the person.

"So my honey arranged an appointment at short notice, Friday at 9:30."

What the h**l is a "my honey"?

Some survey when less than 1000 people were asked the question. This is load of bo**ocks

The ban is not the real problem. The problem is we all know it won't apply to Thai's and secondly the penalty is higher than that for assault.

He killed a soi dog?

 

He is in big trouble now!

That will probably get him a life sentence. Maybe add a day or two for the people he killed as well

Some of the nicknames are quite hilarious.

There should be quite a few called "Dick". although I'm yet to come across any.

Don't forget his friend Head

Law abiding Thai's? Is this a new breed of Thai as they ignore the laws more than any other nationality

At least driving in Thailand fine tunes your reflexes. 

There are worse places to drive. Try Saudi

They need to grow up. Today I had a gut pull out and almost hit me when I was driving from Bangkok to Pattaya. He put his hand up to say sorry that was it we both carried on our way. Unfortunately you have adults who act like children and the law supports them with the (kack of) punishment handed out.

If they want to act like children put them in a kindergarten

Do mind if I change your response to Read

"Not as many as in Thailand"

Feel free to I don't mind at all

Don't comment to me if you don't want a response.  I'll explain why it wasn't stupid; it's because accidents do happen everywhere, and in similar circumstances, not only in Thailand.

Not like they do in Thailand

Really? Goodness only knows what you base that stupid comment on but don't explain your comment says everything about you

They have been trying to reduce road fatalities for years, but in spite of their best efforts the numbers have been rising. I shall be most interested to see what startling new insights they have gained that are going to magically turn this around in a three week period.

Have they been trying to reduce the road accident rate or trying to find innovative ways to explain them?

Her cup size isn't mentioned in the OP, it's Thaivisa members who brought that up.  Cup E is a magazine.

Thanks for the information I never realised that

And such a ridiculousl comment about a country where that is not the case and likely will never be the case.

I assume you understand Thailand far better than the Thai's. Congratulation you win the arrogance if the year award.

You need to understand what was meant instead of taking the words at face value but maybe that is a difficult for yoy

A Thai recently told me the way things are going you are going to have to look at the ground when you walk around so you don't get someone wanting to kill you.

Such a sad indictment of what is a beautiful country

What does her cup size have to do with DUI?

I wonder if one might get a discount, for using specially-designated high-in-potholes routes, and how those might be distinguished from the rest of the Thai road-network ?

 

Perhaps foreign aircraft might similarly pay an increased-toll, coming over here, and excessively-wearing-out Thai runways ?

They pay landing fees already

If she was doing such a wonderful job, perhaps she can explain why she got sacked? That normally happens when you are failing badly.

You are talking about Thailand? It isn't clear from what you are saying

Wow! After all that, I think she deserves a break!

Maybe a Durian Kit Kat?

Sounds strange. There are normally several cables on a lift each one capable if supporting the full load. If one cable broke what happened to the rest of the cables?
