You are farang. You don understen..

I go to the Exclusive fitness above Thaweeyon plaza in town. Great place.

I used to stay at a guesthouse near Asia Hotel near Phathum Wan and the wooden building was always shaking from the vehicle traffice around 100 meters away. The whole area is sitting on mud. If you look at the pedestrian bridge at Rama 1 leading to MBK (at the Tokyu side), you will see that additional steps have been added because the ground has sunk by a few feet already. The subsidence is from groundwater extraction. But I would not be surprised if there would be liquefaction in several areas around Bangkok.

Der Führer also had his youth organization. Is this going to be like that as well? Just wonderin...

Oh, and don't forget the former name of East Germany - German Democratic Republic.

Determination to do something is like a promise and is not equal to actually doing something about it. No impressed with this.

Raising the minimum wage doesn't mean these laborers will have more money saved by the end of the month. What is needed is to inculcate financial responsibility - which is difficult to do when you have to show others that you are "wealthy".

IPhone, cosmetic braces, breast implants, nose lift, new car and motorbike for the wife and kid, second family, lots of expenses... Really!!

You don't even have to go as far as California to look at building designs for earthquake readiness. Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines are all located in the Ring of Fire where earthquakes is a part of life. I cringe whenever I see a warehouse with ridiculously skinny posts are being constructed. Same goes for homes and apartment buildings built in what I think are specs that do not account for earthquakes. The killer here is not the knowledge but the haste and feeling of invulnerability.

Seems they have a pyromaniac in the house...

Why not just pad the pedals?

Would the flip side be your Muslim Brothers asking you the Military to stop treating every Thai Muslim as a militant?

Yeah! Right! After ignoring it until someone blew the whistle on it. Too late for those who have to remain on that island 6 feet underground.

Someone from Greece might have a heart attack...

I have no such problem. I rely on The Weather Channel! Super accurate forecast.

Would his superior officers have done the same thing if there was no video of the event? I sincerely WONDER. I don't think he would.

How would they have known about it????

A bit of thought before commenting!

Perhaps you have not heard of a Police report filed by a policeman. That was how things were done in the past. But you wouldn't know anything about that would you?

Surely that would be sooooo much easier that fixing up a country. With his omnipotence, it should be a breeze.

My skin crawls with the thought of having to be branded as such. Reminds of of this photo... Pardon if I upset other persons - but I feel it is no different from the attached photo.

Well.. those guys in orange robe coming out early morning will be a thing of the past...

More Happiness to Thai I presume?

Chinese tourists bring their camper vans (no need for those double priced hotels), and buy their own food at the public market (no need for double pricing restaurants). Yes, not all of them are like that - but it does happen. I have seen those with my very own eyes. So I sincerely wonder how much money those Chinese tourists brought into the Thai Economy compared to say the regular Korean or Japanese Tourist?

Why should the Parks Chief even have to ASK? It is is wrong, then the Monks have no right to hold those tigers hostage.

Where in the article does it mention strategies to combat human trafficking? Another NATO (No Action - Talk Only) session?

It seems that suspects are considered guilty until proven innocent. Direct evidence of involvement by any person has not been established but by these announcements, people are led to believe that it is a done deal. Somewhat like the Burmese suspects in the Koh Tao murder last year... BTW - how is that progressing? Or should I ask? Perhaps they believe that people will just forget them. Hmmmm.

The licence plate and the vehicle serial number should match or did they even bother to do that check?
