Truth is not acceptable?

Coils (or citronella) never worked for me. If one mozzie in the world - it will get me!

Never could understand why Noah wanted to save two of them?

DEET (spray or lotion) applied directly to exposed skin (of course much better if no exposed skin) is the only thing that ever works for me. If Dengue (or Ross River) fever is about I do not give a sh$t what people think about DEET.

Will take three years to stop! Huh?

Or, sorry my friends we are going to have to cut back on your profits soon.

DO NOT LIGHT ANY MORE FIRES and it will stop IMMEDIATELY!

What part does Widoko and his Government not understand?

"Best method of defense is to ATTACK"!

I think Jusuf Kalla knows that and feels`it is good solution to dealing with a problem he really doesn't care about or cannot deal with!

Pass the buck?

in case one is incapable here, they just lie

same as every doctor in the world, when you ask them a question they don't know the answer to, instead of admitting it, they will just lie

Really? Want to enlighten us with some examples? Or are you an expert in medical diagnoses?

No, I am not a Doctor or in any way connected to the profession in any capacity whatsoever. Just a little "bemused" by your extravagant claim.

Are you in marketing or sales by any chance?

I empathise with you on this one. BUT scams do not exist in Thailand (so we are told) therefore it must be a problem of your own making?

In Isaan I had a big one go in my shower room and sit in the squat toilet water looking upwards and never moving until I forced it out with a toilet brush handle. I even prod-chased it outside only for it to go back into the toilet water. It became increasingly lethargic over the next day or two then died on the shower room floor.

Obviously sh$t itself that is why it is now dead

Putting ice IN your beer? Therefore watering it down? Ur kidding!

Chill the bottle or the can.

So much for them calling off their strike.

"Patthawee said the taxi drivers cancelled the planned protest for fear that it would affect the reputation of the country." Patthawee needs to find a new job!

A great opportunity now to get in some drivers who will abide by the rules and don't accept the other drivers and their vehicles back! Less gum bashing and more action !!

Perhaps a special Monk prison? Need to be very large though. And such prisoners should only have the following rights: food, shelter and medicine!

btw, it is not only Buddhists who hide or seek sanctuary from their crimes, within religion. Sukumaran and Chan ring a bell?

Training students by the army? meaning teaching them how to shoot guns and throwing granates?

Yes these kids might want to improve these skills for their next encounters with neighbouring rival student gangs..hahahah

Oh ye of little faith

So this guy receives 199,000 real baht, but calls the police for 1000 fake? Why not just refuse the one bill and tell him to go back to the bank?

It defies logic and reason.

Anyone else would reject the single note and tell him to get another one from his wallet in order to avoid losing the 200k Baht sale.

You are making the classic mistake of applying common sense, reason, and logic. Not to mention marketing savvy.

Agree. You must not use these farang attitudes in Thailand

Good to luck to the VEC/Navy for trying - no one else in authority has done anything to date !! Except flap their gums perhaps.

Sorry but these militants are animals who are doing the bidding of their beloved Allah. And killing infidels in the name of Allah is doing his work. Hell, killing other Muslims is doing Allah's work also according to these scum.

Allah Akbar!

Except most of those they kill globally are other Muslims ?

Ill have a snack bar indeed!!

Yes, Muslims who they think do not worship the right brand.

Nice try to say it is not the Muslim religion behind it all - but it is.

Now where did so even attempt to say it wasn't Islam that was behind it? Muslim isn't a religion, it's a follower of Islam, if your going to act like a smart Alex try and be accurate in your own posts, as it shows up your distinct lack of knowledge.

considering the troubles are mostly perpetrated by Muslims down in the South, it's not solely due to their Religion as to why there's issues, this goes way way back to land disputes, it just so happens it's predominantly Islam that's the main religion in that area, not really a surprise considering Malaysia is what? Yeah predominant Muslim.

Try to educate yourself a bit more about the root cause of the issues down on this south before making stupid assumptions.

Those who twist the Quran around to suit their agenda like the Wahhabi and salafist such as IS are miles apart from the Jihadists in the South.

Out of curiosity have you any links to such extremist Thai Islamic groups who post you tube videos and video their attacks and post their propaganda videos stating they will slaughter the infidel and wish to impose a caliphate in the Deep South ?

Any terrorist no matter his race creed or colour who kills innocent men women and children to further their cause are pieces of shit in my world, Buddhists,Muslims, Catholics, Protestant, Sikh, Hindu makes no odds to me, they're all scum.

pro lifers and those animal welfare lunatics who blow up labs etc injuring people are not any different either.

Nah, the "stupid assumption" was made by the General !! The militants/terrorists/criminals are NOT a uniformed army My italics and bold showing in the prior post.

If u r in Thailand then you will probably get "conned" some time - not sure about hacking

They're the architect of their own problems. They always end up selling the lands to wealthy people.

Really? Read the post again. Some, may have sold to wealthy people but not all.

"...despite the fact that they were already living on the land before it was even marked as a national park or forest reserve" (italics are mine). What about these ones?

It is likely we will never know the truth. But we will be told something that someone wants us to believe, rightly or wrongly

(She said the taxi drivers were happy and promised to use meter instead of charging a chartered rate.) So, if the taxi refuses to use meter, we can complain to Dalat Assavet who will take action against the driver?

Or, will pigs fly?

Any complaints should be made directly to the driver, if you are lucky he may throw you out of his cab on the side of the expressway. If you are less fortunate, he may hack you to death with a machete.

I enjoyed your humorous comment

Seems daft that they cannot charge more for the extra comfort and baggage handling capacity of the larger vehicle. Why would anyone want to provide the extra utility of a larger vehicle. The basic Camry or Altis cannot handle the baggage of afamily of 4 doing an international trip. Surely it's the drivers who are being shafted here!

Taxi drivers and teachers - too easily and unthinkingly lambasted by the TVF moaner community.

I can only guess you are not a supporter of the rules/law?

I am not saying that their case shouldn't be considered (apparently a rise in fares may happen in June) but in the meantime they should obey the current rules! And you should recognise that

More talk for "the happiness of Thai people" but little substantial action? Will their western trading partners be impressed (about human trafficking)? I doubt it. And if they are able to stop the human trafficking within the fishing industry, will they stop at that or wait for more instances in other areas to be publicly exposed and opposed before they do anymore?

Criminal mentality at work again!

Sad indeed. Hope those injured recover soon.

Testy lot these taxi drivers! Cannot wait for Transport Ministry to raise fares in June. Typical of so many, they have no respect for the law and want to flex their industrial muscle (even though their case is under consideration) AKA bully boys. A small increase in charges may be justified but they will still play their silly games of threatening passengers, not using meters and so on, unless passengers pay more than the set fees. I have had some honest and good drivers (they get a decent tip) but I have also had some crooked ones. All their bleating about insurance and laws covering the numbers allowed to be carried etc., who would believe them? There is not much honesty in some segments of Thai society, especially when it come to dealing with tourists. And the various "authorities" seem not to have any will to enforce the laws. Plenty of talk (gum bashing as usual) and little action! About time for the military to kick some butts I think!

Always seems to be much "gum bashing" but VERY LITTLE ACTION from the authorities. ASKING the fishing industry to "join hands"? MAKE them comply!! Not rocket science is it?

The cat crept in, crapped, and crept out

Was there a crypt there?
