Using animals for entertainment is primitive behavior, there will come a time when we no longer have horse racing, dog racing and and other forms of animal exploitation. 

When we improve our respect for animals we will also improve our respect for each other.

Get the boats out, spin those propellers and make the bad river take the flood out to sea.

Remarkable, as when the Phoenix went down an official was quoted as saying we have no law to prevent them from leaving the harbour. 

Well they do now it seems.

The so called storm(?) was not severe and the boat should have weathered it so they need to find out why he boat sank so easily e.g. was the initial design unstable, were there enough pumps even to question was it over loaded ?

Many answers needed

Yes, many answers needed however I remain unconvinced their fervour over this is anything other than a gimmick to squeeze some cash out of someone, as usual.

Is there the required expertise, or even the interest in a scientific appraisal of the boat to determine the reasons behind it's sinking?

Just another photo op for you know who.

Yep, just confirming my last comment on this guy, publicity stunt.

Need to take my girlfriend to a reliable Dr and get hospital treatment, and as Khon Kaen is the nearest major city nearby thought would be the best place to go.

She has some ongoing health issues that don't seem to be addressed satisfactorily at the local clinic.

What is the best.

So how many months  will he actually have to serve?

I believe he will do no time if he becomes a Monk?

Oh well there you go.

Expect a photo of Big Joke and co in front of busses and vans.

Careful Mr lawyer you have a few Doctors making a good living out or breast implant surgery, and it's not all for farang and Kathoey.

Amazing what can happen when the world is watching, an admission to what we already know.

In spite of all the talk about Thai is different and the Farang don't understand, they themselves know and understand their commitment to social justice is minimal and their commitment to greed and injustice is excessive.

We need to keep an eye on this lot.

I'd be very interested in follow up stories to Big Jokes raids and arrests, is any of this real or some sort of pantomime for this ego tripping pratt.

As for this story, well no picture of him and his intrepid gang?

I like to know how can a 26 year old own a boat like this

 

The word "scapegoat" comes to mind.

This seems to be slanted at the public transport system.

OK, so buy 1000 new buses skim the budget, let the buses rot. Road safety sorted.

Navy Chief requests Submarine purchase be fast tracked.

Trying to find some solid data on what makes them confident, nothing mentioned in this story.

What I got from this story is they are totally unprepared as usual, oh well there is always amulets.

What is the obsession with this?

We know what happened, it was caught in a storm and sank.

Sounds like a beat up to me, after being embarrassed into action by the Japs.

Any reports of starving Koh Tao mafia members yet?

Well a few more tourists are missing, and KT mafia are still fat!

"However, one lifeguard did urge, “I would like to tell parents to take care of their children when playing in the water, especially near the lagoon because there are no lifeguards there, and drowning incidents always happens there.”

So this is a known danger spot and remains unpatrolled!

Sadly the only safety response is still a chance sighting by a visitor.

Although not related to this story (yet),The authorities seem only able to grab some scapegoats to extort money, after the event.
