With no real role models & a country filled with violent crime, you would come to expect this behaviour in the manboys. Thailand as a nation need to grow up or they will be always treated like little children by the rest of the world. With the extra teaching time available now it would be fantastic to see them instill human values & respect into the children. Also they need to instill the fear of ending up in a prison cell for many years if they do commit crimes. Works in all civillized countries to an extent.

looks like Soi 80 to me. I see them walking around just like that.

wonder how long until headline? "Live ammo accidentally mixed up with blank rounds."

Even blank rounds can kill at close distance. Just wait for that one. Like in paintball no head shots or firing within 5 metres.

Why not just ban drinking all together. Then there will be no rapes, murders, thefts, fights or any criminal activity. the Police would then have nothing at all to do. OH thats right they don't do anything anyway. If they also ban all tourist then it would be even better. Just the thinking of the leading Police Force in the world.

Its just unbelievable that this goes on and and on,surely every country should warn their travelers/tourist the death trap of a country they are entering, because its obvious to one and all non thais, that Thailand are incapable of enforcing the law or even care how many are killed!

Australia does on their Smart Traveller website.

This happens world wide. Probably caused by the miscarriage & the need to have a child. Sad as she probably didn't realise it was wrong at the time. This is where the family should have stepped in & supported her. But it doesn't excuse the fact that she took the baby & left the mother & family devistated. Sad on both sides & now a child who will be taken back to her real parents & will need special help for a long time.

What a laugh! 555555

The Thai roads are dangerous enough with alcohol related deaths & injuries can you imagine what would happen if they legalise marijuana. If that happens then god help all of us.

Thailand needs to follow this example.

So why, when they have just graduated from police training are they not in Uniform ready to perform their duties. Oh thats right they have to buy their own uniforms & guns. So untill they shake down more tourists they can't afford to do so.

"kitchen of the world" Ok feed the poor then!

My comments yesterday are backed up today!!!!! Comments were deleted.

I was in Malaysia last week & they charge foreigners more than locals as well. Must be an asian thing to do as they see us as easy targets. Doesn't happen in western countries that I have been to.

I was in Malaysia last week & the locals speak English very well. They also do a lot of things better than the Thais. How well some nations progress when others just keep going backwards.

Previous article was 4 killed in van, now 5 killed in truck accident. When will this stop? I went for a motorbike ride yesterday & had to on 3 occassions swerve to the left to avoid an overtaking vehicle. All of them had no regard for me at all, as in all incidences they could plainly see me but kept coming on my side of the road. Again Thais only care about one thing. THEMSELVES not others or even their families. If they did then things would change.

Thais just don't care about anyone but themselves, so it is easy to see that this happens everyday & not a soul cares. The van driver should be banned from driving for life & sent to prison for a long time because he has just killed 4 people. The company should be fined & made to pay large compensation to the victims families.

Any fool can borrow to much money, as the banks let them fully knowing that they can then repossess the items bought & make a good profit. Education is needed to stop this from happening in any country. Thais do not no when to stop that is the problem. Champagne taste on a beer budget!!!!

if you had the 400K in a bank account why not get an extension within Thailand? If the money had not been seasoned for long enough you could have got an extension to cover the time required for seasoning.

The answer is very simple, I was under annual extension until august 31st, I did not have 400 k and therefore I asked an extension of 60 days and I booked my trip to KL, very convenient for me since I live in Phuket. I've got my funds 3 weeks ago... and beside the fact that it's also pleasant living Thailand once in awhile, I couldn't have asked for any further extension... could I?

I jst returned from Penang & applied for the same visa but multi entry. 400k not required but bank statement only. No problems submit paperwork & pick up visa next day. Peice of cake.

...sounds like someone in Thailand is trying to sabotage them...

Maybe the new restaurant called McThailand. You want flies with that?

The US aviation industry has one of the worst safety records in the world. Why not have a country like Australia who have a good safety record do the assessing. Just a thought! I am not saying Thai airlines don't have issues but make sure they are scrutinized properly.

Why post something that is 3 years old. Look at todays figures & the Thai roads would be #1 deadliest.

1. If you work for a company and you do work above and beyond what is required you would normally get a bonus payment.
2. Nothing wrong with police getting the same.

But do they work above & beyond? Shouldn't bonuses be paid at the end of the job (a trial with conviction) not when they think they have a suspect. We all know that evidence is tampered with & people are used as scapegoats.

Why should the Police be given rewards! They are the most corrupt department here in Thailand & they do not do their jobs properly. When they start doing their jobs & we see a reduction in road fatalities, murders, sexual assault, the list goes on & on, only then should they be reviewed for a salary increase. No rewards for catching so called criminals before they are even tried & proven guilty. No other country in the world reward their police.

I love all the name calling used by TV members. I suppose being jelly has nothing to do with it.

Too bad you can't all be driving around in a BMW with 2M bht cash stashed away.

Yes, the guy is an idiot but doesn't warrant the naming calling that's just childish but then again I tend to forget which forum I'm replying to.

Sorry your post is not worth commenting on.

Typical Thai can't hold his drink or his temper. What a tool!!!!!!!!!! An arrogant peice of **** trying not to laugh as he is led into police station. Throw the book at him.

If they only spent B100million on a facility then there way short. Typical of Thais build something the cheapest possible way & then we will charge the most we can. Poor animals!
