"negative comments such as wanting to get their hands on the two people since it really damaged the image of Pattaya."

Breivik should be accorded whatever rights are legally his. There is a very good argument that when it comes to dividing up finite resources that pensioners and the homeless should be be higher up the ladder than prisoners. Perhaps Norwegian prisons as a whole should be far less hospitable and the rules regarding them revised post-hoc. If this were the case at least Breivik might indirectly have resulted in something being fixed which needed fixing.

Think you are hitting the nail pretty close to the head here.

Norway, is supposedly one of the riches countries in the world. with a 5 star prison service. On the other hand, pensioners and people staying in an institution for old people ( yes, those folks that have paid taxes their whole life and built up the wealth) are given a 1-2 star treatment. Many pensioners are living on less than what the government is calling a poverty line. if staying in an institution it is not uncommon having to share rooms with up to 4-5 others, people needing assistance to get up and out of beds not been given that help due to nurse shortage...... And being forced to stay in bed all day......

That is pretty disgraceful compared to the 5 star prison service

Shame on Norway

Since Thailand is very good at getting DNA test done swiftly i am confident that this case will be closed quickly.

they might even find some cigarette butts with DNA that proves that this is atrocity is been done by a Foreigner.

Thailand best in the world.....

No need help from very bad foreigner....

This is a joke......

He should spend 21 years in a Thai monkey house, then he would not complain...

Listen to this

"The 30 teenagers had rented 3 rooms for the night"

Sounds like a quality establishment....

Guess what would have happened if 30 farrangs tried to rent 3 rooms.....

Max occupancy 2 per room sir.....

Police should look to arrest the receptionist too.............

Don't worry stray dogs. This problem has been known for a very long time and no one seems to be willing to do anything about it.

Nobody is willing to do anything about anything in Thailand. The country just potters along stumbling from one disaster to another.

I think the stray dogs matter is way down the pecking order as there is no angle to make (BIG) money out of these wretched hounds.

Export to Vietnam and China could be a lucrative operation of organized on some scale ;-)

There was a successful trade doing just that, but the dog huggers got in the way.

Laotians eat the mutts as well.....

Yes, i read about that somewhere that there was a crackdown on that...............

This is a "nice spin" of a rather sad story. (long live the spin-doctors)

The reason why Thais lead the world in shopping via social media is that Thailand is years behind the rest of the world when it comes to development of web pages and online payment systems.

A lack of qualified people to teach someone to make this as well does not help.

That is why people selling have been forced to utilize existing platforms to try to make something similar to online shopping.

Procedure:

You find product..

Send message back and forth a couple of times with seller.

go to bank / ATM - transfer money to seller

send picture of receipt to seller

Seller sends goods by EMS - and send tracking code....

Finally

This possibly proves that the government and TAT that paints a very rosy picture of Thailands economy are VERY wrong.....

Off course we believe Deputy junta chairman Prawit Wongsuwan and national police chief Chakthip Chaijinda.

There is no such thing as somebody trying to plot anything in Thailand.

Here we are only happy happy happy.......

"honest Guv, it was the flip-flops fault"

You cant make this shit up man

Hub of Big Face maybe....

Reading the headline it seemed like it was already done......

but after reading the article i got the message....... just like the man said..... "I have a dream......."

"The U.S. also wants Thailand to serve as a hub of alternative energy investment in ASEAN. Mrs. Apiradi forecast exports to the U.S. to grow by at least 3% this year, ."

In this day and age?? Shared bathroom between 12 rooms?

then you would be better of to get a hotel close by airport...

A few years ago i had a stopover in New Delhi India (8 hours) Their airport had a similar concept BUT all rooms had Bathrooms with toilet and shower.....

Or this one might be appropriate..........lyrics cannot be shown here

Classic!!

"The only answer I got was "mai mee" (we don't have any.). So asked when they would come. Reply - "don't know""

Sounds like the story of our life when we are in Thailand, every time i ask This is the answer.....

Off course it was

We never doubts the great TAT when it come to this kind of reporting....

Would be interesting to see how they managed to get to the .7% figure.

well done a quick too, since yesterday was the first day back at work after Songkran.

must be a slow news day?

Big face loss for those who campaigned so hard before Songkran.

But not a surprise.

Locally i did notice a lot less police presence on the road this year compared to last year.... (just an observation)

That's a big loss of face!!

They did the Talk the talk last week, but did not deliver the walk the walk this week...

In my local area there have actually been less police presence on the road this year compared to last ones....

Oh now i feel so much safer officer. Thank you!

Patrons complaining..... ? thats the worst excuse

Looks like somebody have not been paying up on their "tea-money"

Amazing Thailand!

The Redbull heir killed someone years ago, yet no charges...... and the crazed Benz driver last month, not charged yet......

But, hey a Farrang have an unfortunate traffic collision that put a somchai in Hospital, god forbid, lets charge him quickly, so we can drain his ATM.......

After all

TIT

Using the term, 'dark side,' might be a poor choice of words!

If you are light sensitive wear sunglasses.

If you are looking for dark sided entertainment, I have no recommendation.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

You will find it here quickly!

Good Luck.

East Pattaya commonly referred to by the locals as The Darkside, is the area of the city across the train tracks on the other side of Sukhumvit Road. The Darkside in Pattaya stretches to highway 36 in the north, Huai Yai Road in the south and Lake Mapbrachan in the east.

Big bike ran into back of Tuk Tuk so police breathalise the driver, but apparently not the big bike rifer.

Pretty difficult to breathalyse an unconscious person.

true but can take blood

Yeah, but they are not going to do that. they will wait to the driver of the bike wake up. then they will ask very nice for permission.

so it will be at least one week before test taken....

Sounds familiar? a Benz driver last month? driving too fast rear ending someone..... stupid people....

Something tells me this guy have some high connections, if not he had already been tested and arrested....
