Landon Donovan - don't leave home without him

I'll be leading the charge to oust Klinsmann when this fiasco is done with.

Used to teach at a school not too far from the refinery. I grew up in LA, not very far from refineries. They are inherently dangerous and even with the best safety procedures, accidents can happen. Lucky there were no serious injuries.

This is a start, but just the tip of the iceberg. Rewriting the vague regs to eliminate the opportunity for corruption should be the top priority. I don't have a problem with the import tariffs on cars, because they have been successful in fostering auto factory building and employment in Thailand. The expats moved here voluntarily, and need to abandon their desire for imported luxury vehicles

People have been spouting this nonsense for hundreds of years now, even credible scientists like Malthus. So far, technology seems to keep up with these pressures. We get the conservation thing, but no need to go looney.

That was just the Los Angles Kings wrapping up a spot for the NHL Stanley Cup that was felt.

Was going to post the same thing - their flight may have just landed. Rangers coming to town next.

The criminal investigation should focus on the failure of the administration to present an accounting and come forward with both the losses and damages to the rice stocks as well as the overall financial losses. Without that transparency no one was in a position to make changes to the scheme to mitigate losses or cancel the program in its entirety.

Now if that had happened a few weeks back it would have been blamed on Suthep.

Shows however what a pathetic bunch humans have become when something like is such a huge thing in their lives.

Those that think Facebook has no economic value are truly lost. The primary social networking tool of the Internet is now an integral part of the economy.

But not for the moronic posts that appear by the second on there, I really dont want to know when you just had a sh*t or were buying guava or yet another selfie, 90% mindless crap 10% useful.

I agree most of the content on facebook is for entertainment (or nuisance) value only. I am an HR manager of a large company. Facebook posts have short shelf-life and that is why even a brief outage can interfere with my work. I use it as a recruitment tool and it has been quite useful, allowing me to locate dozens of hires, who I may never encountered, had it not been for the social networking tool. I am sure others, who are job seekers, feel the same way. In fact, I came into my current position through initially contacting a facebook poster. Facebook has real value and to demean that, or dilute it, because of it's purely social aspect, is folly.

We are looking for someone with at least 5 years of experience in developing and sourcing raw materials, specifically knitted stretch products and fabrics for women's and children's clothing. Applicants should have good computer skills, with experience designing in CAD and using photoshop. The position will require some travel in order to attend product fairs, mostly in Asia. This is an opportunity to work with a trend-setting clothing design team to establish requirements and recommendations for seasonal wear. The company's office is conveniently located in Bangkok on the airport link rail line. The position comes with an excellent benefits package and visa/work permit for foreign workers. Please PM the OP with your CV and attach your portfolio or submit a link to it.

Facts are facts.

Facebook was blocked temporarily in Thailand. It could easily be accessed using a proxy. It probably was a warning shot aimed at facebook, which was asked to remove some offending accounts. It proves ICT has the ability to block facebook from being accessed through Thailand-based ISP's and that action will be taken against people who are posting content deemed to be in violation of the various orders which have been issued.

While facebook is a major distraction in the workplace, it is also a necessary tool for my job. I use it to recruit workers, particularly expats here in Bangkok. So, as you are expressing your joy as to its unavailability, just remember that some expats and some thais are probably losing the opportunity to obtain beneficial employment due to the outage.

Unless you have access to all the reconstructive evidence, no one can pass judgment on the culpability of the truck driver. The law naturally gives a presumption that the motorized vehicle has a better opportunity to avoid the collision. Condolescences to the families and friends of the bicyclists. The roads in Thailand are dangerous, but, for bicyclists, the roads in many other countries are as well. With the popularity of bicycling in Thailand, there needs to be more investment in bicycle protected pathways to improve safety and enjoyment, especially for touring.
