  1. It's difficult to point out exactly what this fellow means, with reference to coexisting, and he clearly leaves it unidentified.

    It's possible he is referring to East vs. West, which is how I would interpret his content, whereby he would be referencing collectivism vs. individualism. Given the chance of clear attitudes, it's possible for East and West to coexist without confrontation (in the modern day).

    However, if he is referring to neighbouring countries, which are all collectivist societies (alledgedly), then there's a cat in hell's chance of coexisting for quite some time.

    Simply refer to Thai/Myanmar public relations, and Thai public general attitude towards Burmese, and there's no need to look further. Coexisting is going to take a lot more than a few lectures on the subject.

  2. Students with less than 100 points will not be allowed to advance to the next grade, yeah when pigs fly

    Dead right! A little word with the school administrator, holding an envelope, assures advancement to the next grade 100% of the time. How can one give a student an F for behaviour? Fs are dished out by teachers who fail their students, of course! ;)

  3. The junta are currently reviewing 'Neighbours' as a primary soap replacement. If this doesn't work they will fall back to 'Home and Away' or 'Prisoner'.

    or 'Catch Candy!' - cheesy.gif

    Edit: Thailand needs to go back to Andy Pandy and the Flower Pot Men'... go thru Camberwick Green, and then onto Captain Pugwash.. Roundabout, and Jackanory.

    It then might learn about satire, and malfeasance in language, where the "happy fellows" take over. It might just find Trumped Upon.

  4. I had a tarantula (Mexican red knee) for 16 years, and never got bitten once. The majority are quite placid, and they are more intelligent than people give credit for. They do actually get to know you, as a pet, but the Thai brown is well known as being very very aggressive. Their brain is actually larger than that of a budgie! Most tarantula bites are far from deadly, in fact there isn't a known species deadly to man.


    As identified, this is most likely an infection because of lack of prompt treatment, or the boy had a severe allergic reaction to the venom.


    Spiders are wonderful species, and watching them give birth to themselves over and over is amazing. They really do make great pets.


    Come on y'all, go and buy a tarantula today! JJ has them ;)


  5. I THINK all us Farang have had many items stolen, lost or even undelivered because the stamps are European, American and etc. I also believe it is the postmen who are responsible, as they generally seem to be unaccountable after the system processing.

    EMS recorded does not work, and nobody will take responsibility.

    I have sent items back home too, with tracking numbers... and 4 days later still no trace. I took my tracking numbers to various post-offices involved... solleee no understan.

    It's a farang.. open it.. <deleted> the package or envelope into the bin and thus no traceability. It stinks... and we farang are the biggest targets.

    Christmas cards disappear, items of sentimental value, and the list is endless.

    WE DESERVE AN APOLOGY FROM THE ROYAL THAI POST; not Thai's who complain. Once in a while for them... every bloody day for us.

    This is one area Prayuth should be operating in, if he doesn't want us to sell up and <deleted> without further investment into this land.

  6. Perhaps all you clever dicks should take a look at this before you prattle out some more inane comments?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Vietnam_War_flying_aces

    So it will be interesting to see a good example up close, guessing it will be at Wing 41 Chiang Mai?

    The yanks used Thailand as a major staging post for innumerable air strikes as the dropped their c..p all over Laos and Vietnam, as well as Wattay Noi in Vientiane and Diego Garcia.

    That is why it so nice and easy to fly around the Kingdom now - thank you Uncle Sam for all the concrete

    All that concrete and billions of dollars which lost a very embarrasing war encounter?

    I'd have sooner seen a gift from the UK, like a Spitfire or Gloster Meteor, just to add insult to injury after Thailand's declaration of war on the US and UK d

    uring WWII

    I guess you'll next be posting that the Messchersmits did more that Spits and Hurricanes, na?

  7. Let her go but with all her assets frozen and in bond. A cool 200 000 should cover her expenses, that's all she needs.

    I thought it was against Thai law to take more than 50,000 baht out of the country on a trip.

    Can't stop a diamond-encrusted, solid platinum, gold-plated MasterCard blocking her pursuits... especially with the surname Shinawatra rubied within it....

  8. Let her go but with all her assets frozen and in bond. A cool 200 000 should cover her expenses, that's all she needs.

    A coif, nails, whitening cream, and most of the Bt.200k would be gone.

    Note; a million baht in 1,000 baht notes (Thailand's largest denomination) makes a cube; 6" x 5" x 4"

    One can easily fit 1.5M Baht in a laptop case, with laptop and charger inside.... I know... I've done it.

  9. I would dearly love to see the construction engineers plan to have a train wind through mountains at high speed. Looking forward to some ghastly headlines of entire trains going off the mountain. Have the NCPO finally succumbed to the lure of personal enrichment at the expense of the taxpayers?

    It is unlikely that Thai generals (incl the Junta leaders) got their (and their wives') lifestyles just on their paltry official salaries.

    I'm bemused that people assume that these people must be whiter than white, just because they staged a coup.

    Whiter than white wasn't exactly a good choice of words, was it?

  10. 2026? That's the year SpaceX says it will put humans on Mars.

    U beat me to it.. cheesy.gif

    2026.. Thai baht vs US$ valued at 3002... whistling.gif

    Cars running on roads in tandem, at 200Km/h with laser safety gapping. clap2.gif

    Sh!!te is disintegrated by toilet hot flame ass burners instantly (especially nano-tech designed to identify skin and not burn it), as it is dissipated, eliminating the need for bog roll,.

    And what's Thailand doing?

    I forgot. facepalm.gif ... So did Thailand, as it argues still about democracy and a dead monar... Asian planet.

  11. A picture is worth a thousand words. This video clip is worth many thousand words. We will probably never know who got to the students to "incourage" them to change their story. The origional article stated some of the students had previously reported the stamps/glass sets for grades policy to the administration and they ignored it, thus the video. All students involved in changing their story should be expelled permanently for lying either when they made the video and reported the lecturer or lying when they changed their story. White is not white one day and black the next day. On top of that after seeing the video, in the unlikely event that the story is truely fabricated, this is definately a case for a character defamation lawsuit by the lecturer.

    One last thing, there should be rules against filming in classrooms. Students should have a right to privacy and classroom cameras are invasive.

    I haven't taught for some time, but every school I taught in, in Thailand, had cameras in the classrooms. Privacy also includes the rights of the children against being whipped, cained, sticked or abused in anyway. I also believe it is a teacher's right to have every lesson filmed. That is, if they are not abusive teachers. If they are abusive, then all the more reason for student rights to be filmed! Teacher behaviour needs to be monitored as much as student behaviour.

    Works 2 ways... simple as that. On top of that, security is enhanced on both the student side and the teacher side./// is it not??

  12. Wonder who those legs on the left belong to ?

    Its "him" of course tongue.png

    Nice tatoo on his right leg, don't you think so?

    click thumbnail:

    in this picture you see him lying down with his tasteful pants (at the left edge):

    Looks nothing like "him". Him is still hiding in Singapore, little <deleted>.

  13. At last - a photo to prove that Honda and Toyota are morphing into Toyondas biggrin.png If you can't beat em copy em...

    And as for cops opening fire on a busy street - let's hope they don't get too enthusiastic in their 'clampdowns'.

    Far from it! Honda have remained way ahead in tooling than Toyota for BIW pressings for years.

    Don't you see the 'pedestrian impact' minimum radii on the Honda (6mm min), as opposed to the sharp edges of the Toyota delivered to the Asian markets?

    There is no copying. Toyota simply keep it cheap, and Honda uses and ships parts from the same tools world wide.

    As for the OP, "landed his Honda City atop another car’s mirror." ... The car is not on top of the wing-mirror, but clearly sitting on the door sill above the A and B pillars.

    Wing mirrors are one of the most difficult parts of a car to design and procure. They have to take pressure from above, below and from every direction, yet have an incredibly small packaging space for a motor and attachments, and assembly components so nothing is externally visible after assembly.

    Talk about extreme reporting that a car landed on a wing mirror.. that's really wonderful reporting for attention, but an insult to all car designers.
