So derogatory cartoons make false propaganda against 1.8 billion Muslims are OK, but nobody should say anything that could remotely hurt the feelings of some little Jew girl... What kind of logic is this?

It is disgusting to have double standards...

I am not surprised at all. I have managed many Thais (in Academia and industry) and almost all of them "forget" their Thai language because they lived "very long" out of Thailand. They forget how to write and if you talk to them in Thai, they will (try to) reply to you in English. This is more common among Thais abroad than those in Thailand.

Dear Admin of ThaiVisa, get your facts straight before you post anything highly inaccurate like this... Even in India they admit that he is actually Indian and not Pakistani... I guess it is easier for the right wing guys to put blame on any Muslim country than finding the facts... http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/world/thailand-police-nab-expunjab-cm-beant-singhs-killer/article6759298.ece

The name reported is not a Vietnamese name. Maybe they pronounce it way too wrong.

She is one of your fellow country woman... her name could be Tran Thi Thuy Ngan... (common sense? isn't it?)...

What would happen if he got caught doing this back home?

In Hong Kong I dealt with a Pakistani on 9 counts of Fraud and he was happy to plead guilty until he heard the offences were contrary to a section of the THEFT Ordinance as that one word put the shits up him.

He insisted he was not a ' tief ' ( sic ) only a con man but calmed down when he realised there would be no ' off with his hand ' which is what he would have likely faced as a thief in Pakistan as he lived in a very rural area where Sharia law held sway.

There is no Sharia Law in Pakistan... Get your facts correct...

What would happen if he got caught doing this back home?

Talk to the hand ?

on the other hand...

According to their religion, and it is commonly known and accepted among them, taking away things of an infidel (non-muslim) is not considered as stealing. So why would he confess to have committed a crime ? That is how far their respect for non-muslim goes.

Another utterly are completely retarded comment... Do you have any proof of what you say or you are just another TUI type?

If he did do it and is convicted, give him the option of punishment per Sharia Law instead of 2 ears in a Thai Prison. Let's see how devout a Muslim he is.

I wish I had said that. But, if he stole from non Muslims that could be kosher. (Halal????)

Stealing is not allowed in any religion, so there is no point in mocking people's beliefs...

What would happen if he got caught doing this back home?

He would be eating AND washing his bum with his one remaining hand!

You are completely wrong... there is no hand-cutting punishment in Pakistan...

Hey, look at the bright side.  Better to break down BEFORE take off, than somewhere in mid air.

Lucky it was not Malaysian Arlines, only they can do it in mid-air...
 

currency exchange thieves. chop there hands off, the same they would get in their holy land.

Cant answer for pakistan but in turkey they would not have their hand chopped off

A simple search on google would reveal that this is also not the case in Pakistan either... only in few Arab countries...

As for one other poster, I really dont understand that why people assume that they are Muslims? Dont you think they could have any other religion?

Its such a shame that because of 2 people, everybody is trying to vomit their crap on the religion, which has nothing to do with the crimes of individuals...

Well, these must be really genius criminals... <deleted>, the picture itself disgusts me... look at the way that thai girl is pointing to the pair and by the looks of it, I dont think that they did anything wrong...

The whole story maybe worth believing in the home town of Araya (??) but not anywhere else... or is this the same case as WMD in Iraq...

This.

Will.

Never.

Happen.

Well go to any other country and they dont give you visa unless you have a full medical cover, case in point, Europe, Australias and Norther America... people have to buy insurance before applying for the visa, and there is no surety that once could actually get the visa and hence lose the money on the insurance cover.

First China, and now I'madinnerjacket shows up.

Choose your friends carefully.

Really dont understand why so many people watch only Fox News and make conclusions... I am NOT a fan of Iran or anything but look at the facts... have Iran ever committed any crime against any nation? Just because Dubya did not like Iran does not mean that Iran is a bad country or everyone in Iran is bad... they are living their lives without committing any war crime against any other nation unlike USA did in Afghanistan, Iraq and thousands of drone attacks in Pakistan...

As for those "keyboard online intellectuals", have you ever heard him speaking? As I mentioned that I am not taking anyone's side but I found him to be a very good speaker... see some clips here...

Well no one shoud be killed over something like this as it is a quite common occurance in the LOS but if anyone had to get diciplined the wrong person got it. Can't blame the Thai guy in my opinion. I feel sorry for the Canadian guy that he let his emotions get the best of him but i certainly understand.

Gotta love it. "Can't blame the Thai guy" who was in another man's house bangin' the dude's girl...

And here your assumption is that he knows that she has some other man...

That Canadian is such a scum... put him in Thai jail forever for doing such a stupid act of taking life of another human being...

We have hundreds of civilians a month being killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan as a result of conflict. When it is a genuine military mistake, all you can do is find out what happened, why it happened, and put measures in place to stop it happening again. Even if the Thais took those small steps, it would be more than happens in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Have you ever been to Pakistan? or just watching fox news only? Could you please refer to any credible source?

It is much easier to hang the crap on any country or nation but it is a different matter to prove something.

What happens to a brave american "lone soldier" who killed tens of Afghanis recently? Is there any real action taken by US Army?

Apparently it was foreigner's fault. If you are not allowed to carry balloons then why to carry them? Just imagine if this was done by a middle easterner (Brazilian?) in UK, he must have been shot and after 5 seconds big news says he was a terrorist.

If you have to carry balloons so why not take taxi? with four people (I guess there were 2 men, 1 woman and 1 child) taxi is much more cheaper than train.

The first thing that the Thai Authorities should do is to ban all Iranians, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Afghans, Somalians and Africans from coming to this country and then followed by vetting all Muslims who are entering the country. This also should be follwed by vetting all Britains, Americans and also Australians and Germans . Swedish and only provide visas to those wth decent educational backgrounds and also financial resources as they are also a lot of trash whites in the kingdom these days indulging in sinister activities like running online gambling stuff, porn sites and also running bars and brothels along with money laundering activities.

Such a racist comment u just made... so u think decent education background is only with whites? no Iranians, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Afghans, Somalians, Africans and Muslims dont have this?

When Europe and the rest of western world was in dark age, Muslims were developing science, literature and arts... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_in_the_medieval_Islamic_world

If u stop watching Fox News, ur life would be much better and based on the facts... not only on fictions... (remember WMDs in Iraq?)

Yes I feel the same, I have also found that K Bank seems to have the highest "extra" fee and charges, I voted with my feet, shut all the accounts there and changed over to Citibank, where for the first time in Thailand banking I feel that I am treated as "the customer" NO FEES at all, having said that as I do most of my transactions online I would not expect fees either, the best part is they yes THEY offered me a 45 day interest free platinum visa card with NO credit/history check and NO weird conditions attached ( like having X amount in there bank as secuirty ), I can highly recommend them, also you can use ANY ATM in the world!! and not be hit with fees...nice one Citi,

Bloody hell...the service you got from K-bank must have been really cr*p.....and service with Citibank in Thailand is next to useless as well... ...

.I am with Citibank in Singapore and a citigold account holder and popped into Citibank citigold lounge in Bangkok were I am assured I will receive the same of sevice anywhere in the world with a realtively simple query and they were absolutely unless...in the end I phoned my RM in Singapore on their phone and he fixed the problem very quickly and professionally, and he was even laughing himself at how usless they were in BKK..

Citibank Singapore -

Citibank Bangkok -

I have experience otherwise... CitiBank in Thailand is dealing with much more enthusiasm and care than in Singapore... In fact Citi Thai goes extra mile to solve ur problems... Citi Sing on the other hand wants to attract new customers and pissing off old...

Ever tried google maps? Its free.

Send me PM and we can discuss this more.

Why tablets - because they are trendy? Notebooks give a lot more bang for the buck

No way... tablets r better and cheaper than notebooks... have u ever used one before? or u still live in the old PC time when computers run on DOS... (no offence intended to you or other old-school people who think old is gold)

With all the warnings from countries around the world in relation to the floods, the outbreak of Malaria, Dengy Fever, Bomb and Terrorist threats etc. I think the Deputy Governor of TAT, Mr Sansern Ngaorungsi has lost the plot. Similar to the Terrorism warning made earlier.

Amazing... how people on TV have twisted view of reality?

I was at the Airport on Saturday (arrival) and Thursday (departure) and the longest lines at immigration et. I have ever seen... Is this not a proof that tourists are actually coming to BKK?

May not be from Europe and Americas but still from Asia... Anybody heard that the future is in Asia?

Well if 54 to 60% of the thai population (this is what I would call a majority) have no confidence in the politicans/government then maybe the country is making headway. Now if this same majority would do something about the mess that this country is in, then there may be a light at the end of the long tunnel.

As one man said "I have a dream".

and where did u get this number? from abac poll? which has no credibility of whatsoever... twisted in the favor of democrats?

I worked with abac and know pretty well how they prepare this scam...

If some one is shot while carrying on a terrorist act, and by a policeman

May be he should be awarded a medal for dong his duty

Terrorist act? What was that?

Did he block the airport? Did he deprive poor people?

Just so funny how so-called self-righetous people claim to be so when they are obviously just the scum... just like democrats and their cronies...

A murder is a murder... no matter who does it...

Get out in the real world and dont just be a keyboard warrior...

US blacklist? my back side... what the hell US blacklist has to do with other governments?

When did US actually learn a lesson from history of UK and Russia? or is it that all kingdoms (read super powers) are destined to be doomed due to their stupidity?
