A man's greed is like a snake that wants to swallow an elephant.
(Chinese Proverb)

The bus driver told police that the road was slippery because there was construction on it and heavy downpours at the time.

i remember something about this in driving school 30 years ago..... Wait for it..........

Oh, you should always adjust your speed accordingly to match road and weather conditions.....

But TIT and that would be unheard of to actually slow down....

Name and shame them!!!! on Thai news they actually mention the name..... why not on TV?

Two were punished for charging Japanese passengers more than their meter-based fares and the other for abandoning his passengers in a highway.

Last time it was the passengers fault, being on the highway, it was unimaginable that a taxi driver could do such thing.

No Thai would do such a terrible thing.....

Driver must be from Myanmar.....

Maybe they just should tattoo a number on their wrist instead.....

Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her son Supasek Amornchat. She was accompanied by former deputy prime minister Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisarn and former deputy finance minister Tanusak Lek-uthai.

Mr Paijit, who is also leader of former Pheu Thai MPs of the Northeast, said Ms Yingluck’s trip had nothing to do with politics. She visited the province as an ordinary a citizen. He denied as untrue earlier reports that Ms Yingluck would make an inspection trip to see development projects initiated by the Thaksin Shinawatra administration, adding that the visit was without a political agenda.

yeah, right.... a ordinary citizen does get a 500 people welcome .... And travelling together with all former cabinet ministers.... who the flip is she kidding....???

This is just a very unfortunate result of lifting the marshal law, and "the reds" are gathering their forces again......

and here was me hoping this silly C_W was going to stay out of the politics as promised.... but hey politicians you cant trust them... give me a General at any time....

As always and more

i cant believe they are believing it them self even.....

In this circumstance, 2 rudes make a right

In this circumstance, 2 Nudes make a right

I thought TAT said records were to be broken.

As any Thai, TAT have no memories of saying that, and it is very rude to make them loose face by reminding them of their short comings.......

Same same shut it down!

Dont know what this guy have been smoking, but i would like some of it....

How on earth do they think that Thais would even consider to learn from a foreign nation, when they dont even think to learn of their own mistakes........ ooops sorry, there is no such thing.... Thailand is perfect.... saying anything else would be to make someone loose face and that is unthinkable....

i think the Thai Education system does as many other sectors need a lot more than a reform, it need to be taken down and built up again....

Been seeing first and second hand that Thai university teachers have been taking money for grades and other ways of corruption. they abuse their power / status to avoid working too hard. Like using more senior students to grade and check junior students homework and exams.

Very few teachers start their classes on time, but always finish early, this is how the whole culture is used to the Thainess....

They said they did it out of anger and they were sorry for their act that might affect the Pattaya tourism.

They said sorry - then they have to pay 50 Baht case closed......

Nothing to see here....

Thai and western definitions of fidelity are very different. I know well educated people teachers, pilots and engineers that just don't get it

It's different here!

Getting close to the truth and reality here....

so, when does a Thai girl lie??? when she open her mouth.....

it is socially acceptable to have a lover or two if your husband is away on work.... since he is not here he cant be around to see or hear about it....

and they do prey to Buddha that he don't find out.... so something went wrong here...

RIP British guy!

This is a oxymoron and just a game played for the gallery to keep the "happiness for the people"

they will go out and say that it is now OK.....

The same way they say that there has not been any increase in the food prices for the past 3 years.... and that is so untrue...

Well the prices have not gone up... so in one sense they are right... but, hey nobody monitors the content (weight or volume) that you get for the same money.

every thing is cut down.... but the price stays the same....

I do not accept any violence towards women at all.

But if this cowardly Thai male decided that option, why not a slap to her face ? Why stab her ? Answer. Thainess. It gets worse as time goes on.

Thainess: the Thai day-time TV and soap operas are all showing that it is OK to use knife and guns to solve issues..... they just follow lead.... :-)

it always have happy ending on TV... nobody go monkey house.... why i have to go then..... i did say sorry.... why they still angry..... = Thainess

Joc , for once in your life stop being negative and spilling your nonsense.

This is Pattani where Buddhists are killed every day.

Doesn't matter low ranking or not ......he is a Buddhist monk.

I understand your feelings against him but please show some sense, as I don't think you lack of it, but you are just trying to be clever.

A true Buddhist monk would put his faith in the great Buddha and not in guys with sub machine guns....

yeah-right............

it is 1 of april today guys.... wake up

they may fantasize about it being a high speed motorway but they forget that thousands of tourists walk across it every day to get to the beach, its silly of them not to have made any pedestrian crossings, in fact its more then silly, it would be criminal negligence in a civilized country

There is in fact some pedestrian crossings with lights even.... But hey, TIT, so nobody takes notice of the lights so i avoid using it.... safer to not use it.....

Does not happen in the 7-11 that I use, I always come out of there with 50 Satang.

The last remaining illegal structure is the large entertainment venue at the entrance of Bali Hai Pier.

Is this the building with Starbucks and a few disco's in??

Surprised it took her so long to show the true self....

Could have something to do with you not building the house for her parents yet....

I join the others here, sell the bike, get on that plane home... death treats in Thailand are a lot more serious than at home... life is so much cheaper here....

if you have your sons passport, bring him with you, if not make arrangement for him to be picked up in a neutral public place far away from that village, never go there again...

be paranoid, there is nothing like a woman scorned, a Thai woman angry is ten times worse. you can be hunted down and killed for less than 50K Baht in this country... if you somehow have made any of her family loose face at any time, they would even do it for free.... (just cover the petrol)

Take care, be paranoid, and good luck.....

You got the answer yourself...

if you have to ask TV.... since you dont trust

Tell her nothing

Correct me if I am wrong but a police officers job is crime suppression

The police force is manned 24 hours a day 7 days a week

So does this mean that these two police force finally got off their keysters and did some real police work?

Pretty sad when you have a press release stating you were actually / finally doing the job you are paid to do

+1

for sûre a man from myanmar , thai man never do that . like thai man never do something wrong or never kill farang . they have to much respect for the others ......

+1

Big sign on the consulate gates....

No express service / No Agency

So NO!

"City authorities could get tough with those who use these drainage channels as their own personal rubbish bins."

but they are far too busy shaking down tourists who may drop a cigarette butt in lower Sukhumvit or MBK area.

Not defending litter by anyone, but also cannot understand why squatters throw waste and rubbish in their own gardens....

I see all the street vendors are using the drains as their personal garbage "hole in the ground" and teh "cigarette butt" police are standing next to them laughing....
