Lopchan

do you have to mix it with tobacco to get a smooth smoke?

Damn you Alant! beat me to the punch..though I was going to say "rolled in grease proof papers"

Welcome to thailand land of gutless thugs.

Iv seen many a gutless thug in USA, England, Australia and so on.. My mate was bashed senseless in London earlier this year.. So your welcome to Thailand comment is irrelevant !!

Your irrelevant...So it's ok for this kind of thing to happen in Thailand Because it happens in other Countries?

And where do you get your lies from, Yes it may happen but not on a daily basis pal Australia is the safest country in the world and I believe if this shit happened here

Those guys would be dealt with quick and smart especially if it happened to a foreigner ...... Your unreal mate.

Eli as a fellow I Aussie I have to say well stated horse-shit! Safest country in the world my @rse! The papers carry headlines of elderly women and men beaten and robbed by the drugged up little thugs as a matter of course.

I worked as security at a bar and was set upon and kicked, stomped and pool cued by over a dozen patches...the final stomp tore my left ear off the side off my head and left it hanging by a thread of skin... 5 broken ribs, cracked jaw....the reason? A prospect needed to do it to get his full patch..and these were regulars at the bar who I had sometimes chatted and even shared a drink with..the cops, like their counterparts here sometimes do, did nothing and told me it wasn't worth pursuing...and "may be detrimental to my health" and just like in this case EVERYONE just stood by and watched...hell my "partner" ran out the back door...so not just Thailand and Oz just as bad at times

Why do you always have to raise the race card ?

Because it was a racial attack, if the victims weren't white, they wouldn't have been attacked.

Utter rubbish Britmantoo! You see it almost daily that this happens Thai on Thai also and back in all of our home countries it happens also. To deny that is lying!

Too many on TV love to jump on the " I live in Thailand because I hate it and want to bash it" bandwagon. Utter w@nk

You see 65 year old women kicked unconscious on a daily basis?

Where do you live? I'd like to avoid that place!

You are trying to deflect from your earlier blanket statement that it was a racial attack, it was nothing of the sort it was first instigated by the farang in the floral shirt who snuck behind the group and delivered a king hit from behind. That in itself no way detracts from the pack mentality and viciousness of what follows but for you to play a race card here was ridiculous. Further, go back through some old news articles in your home country or simply google / youtube search "woman puched / kicked by...." It should wake you up to reality

A disgusting display of cowardice but.......

Watch carefully from where the Black shirted farang get's up. The farang in the pink floral shirt walks to te back of the group, pushes into the crowd and throws the first sucker punch from behind at the Thai guy who the woman had already slapped in the face.
Yes, the Thai's who kicked them when they were down are low lifes, but the tourists are far from innocent in this case

Very strong winds and heavy rain in Khorat last night, a lot of damage locally, trees , power lines and a giant billboard blown down, Some houses nearby lost parts of their roof. It was raining horizontally for a good hour!

Even worse: drove to Phu Rua two months ago, ready to pay the farang fee to find the park closed for 3 days, reason: royal family visit....

This happens in the west also when QE2 or the Presidents of countries visit , it's called security.

March / April there has been no let up in N. Ratchasima except for 3 cool days of 37, 38 and 39. At least it's preparing me for my final destination when I kick it.

RIP and condolences to his wife and family.

Would like to say something to the TV "bash Thailand at any opportunity / conspiracy theorists / troll" but what's the point.?

Good news. I'm happy that conservation efforts and anti-poaching efforts are having some, albeit small effect

Wishing him as full a recovery as possible.

Interesting to note that mine will be post number nine on the topic. If it had been a westerner who had fallen, we'd be out to three or more pages by now.

Obviously a westerner is by far more important than any other race....and some on TV wonder why they are despised.........

Just to clarify

Wondering when a skull shape determined the sex of human remains???? Guess the pelvis has nothing to do with it anymore. The advances in Thai technology.

Men generally tend to have thicker, heavier skulls. They are typically notably larger than female ones, generally speaking. Although this factor will not determine sex on its own, combined with the other features outlined below, it can give you a good indication of gender.

The temporal muscle is a long band of tissue stemming from the parietal bone on the skull, and extending all the way to the mandible (the uppermost part of the jaw). The part of the skull where the muscle attaches (the temporal line) often has a more pronounced ridge in males than females.

The eye socket area, when looking at the skull, is referred to as an orbit. The lower section of the orbit differs slightly between men and women. Women have a sharper ridge and males a slightly blunter surface to them.

The superciliary arch or “monkey brow” is not very prominent in humans. Think of the prominent forehead of our primate friends and you’re probably thinking of this arch. It exists above the orbits, and comprises two arched elevations which are prominent medially. In males, there is usually some slight ridging here and you should be able to see some of it. In females, there is typically very little, or none at all.

While this is sickening, I find the constant reference to this being a 'Thai" phenomenon ridiculous.

"The number of American troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2012 was 6,488. The number of American women who were murdered by current or ex male partners during that time was 11,766. That’s nearly double the amount of casualties lost during war."

I'll post the latest figures when I find them and also those for the UK and Oz...don't want to be biased now do I.

Damn the whales, harpoon a fat chick.

...or a fat sexpat

Whale Vs Boat collisions are more common than people think and are often the fault of neither party, rather a tragic coincidence of timing.

Nice to see some sports stars showing humility and helping those in need. Kudos!

This is a disgusting piece of journalism / headline writing. There is no other reason than to fuel clicks from the TV "I hate the Chinese" crew. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the Chinese tourists whether the owners / captains pay the fees or not. They pay their ticket price and once that transaction is complete, all responsibility falls on the boat operators.

I'll say it again, disgusting, racist bent on a headline just to get clicks from those who are bitter against all except themselves.

Road signage in T'land very poor. Drive along easily at 90 kph, suddenly without warning a small red cone over a deep and wide manhole.

Or just try to follow a twisting divided hiway around CM, the roadside is littered with junk messages directing us to some motel 15 km away, or worse, the road divides and no mention is made of which path goes where.

Well, i guess all this is part of national Thainess; a depleted mental state shared amongst Thai people.

So you don't think the angry speeding and the drinking had anything to do with it then?

RIP to Mr Spurlock

"So you don't think the angry speeding and the drinking had anything to do with it then?"

Surely you don't expect people to give up an opportunity to bash, blame and deride Thailand sir?

Funny there are a few people sprouting the usual "only in Thailand" thing. I seem to recall quite a few Brit, American and other nationality "virgins" selling the right to be the 'first" in auctions. ( A hooker by definition)
Here we have someone who may be lonely (hopefully not just a publicity stunt) and driven to the act of promoting her wishes of wanting to be married before giving herself up.

Of course those fine upstanding lasses from Westopia are better because they are...hmm. from Westopia I guess

If she's genuine, I wish her luck and hope she finds true happiness ad not just a gold digging gogo dog who's going to milk her for every cent.

Good luck and I hope it work out for you.

Sounds like bad Noos to me!

You sir, win post of my day! Thank you!

Good to see the TV "Ugh what savages, eating THAT!" Crew are alive and well.

Mrs Lopchan's family sometimes trap rats out in the paddies and consider them a bit of a delicacy. Big buggers too. Being a rodent, they taste exactly like rabbit which of course would probably be an acceptable food to the "gourmands" of TV who love deriding Thais for their available choice, especially the poorer Thais.

Of course the benevolent critics could always offer to pay for some "real food" for those who can only afford rat or hold a Western epicurean day in their local village (or gogo bar if you don't get out much) to show the locals just how advanced you are in your own epicurean development.

We bought a new Vios from 1988 toyota near No 2 bus station. Excellent service. They also have a second branch out on the bypass road near Joho which sells used cares under the Toyota "CARE" banner meaning they are low km and have warranty.

(1988 is the name of the business...not the year of purchase / model of car before anyone starts lol )

Burning stubble??? Was he burning the razor stubble on his face? They must mean rubble? Who writes this stuff?

maybe you could use your "all seeing eye(s)" to peruse a dictionary and then you may see with your own eye that stubble is the correct term. Learning can be such an eye opener

The relevance is to your attack on the paramedics. Insofar as they are not the only ones who pose with dead bodies.
However they ARE the ones targeted by you and others.
Further, regardless of whether a corpse is that of an innocent or that of an enemy combatant, posing with one is the same thing...maybe worse when you give it the thumbs up

Is that clear enough for you?
