Thailand used to be one of the safest country's on earth for women alone on the streets,....

It's a Government employee uniform, in this case Ministry of interior !!! no Military uniform !!

Hm,...Isn't "Police General Phatcharavat Wongsuwan" not the brother of Prawit Wongsawan !?!?!? The Watchman ???

Hm,...I heard so many story's about Thais been ripped of by other Thais even from there own families !!!

This was in Taiwan !!!,...Read the article before commenting stupidly.

Hm,...Been rich isn't enough, but been from a very rich family with lot's of good connections in high places will do it !

Yes,.. well,...shooting a tourist would be very bad PR !!! They did the smart thing ! call for back up.

Yep,..riding foolishly and without a helmet can only work short time,... unless you have the right amulet !?

Hm,..Don't worry,...there are plenty more gorgeous beaches in Thailand for the adventurous ones that like it,...I know at least dozens of them. Some are not far from touristic places but need some transport to get there. Luckily, most tourists go to the closest or more famous beaches to there accommodation.

10 Years !!! ?!?!? you are very optimistic,...just a couple of years will do,....sadly,..

Hm,..So we have to like what you like, or we are the wrong people in the wrong country,...!?

It's all about the kickbacks !!!! and this is worldwide !!!

..."This one will go down - not literally - in history as the biggest folly for the Thai military-idiocy complex"....Hm,..Don't underestimate the Thai Military,...they may/will surprise you with bigger folly's !!!

Only Americans call it soccer,...For the rest of the world it's "FOOTBALL" !!!

,..."Thaksin just has more money!",..??? Nah,.. at this level they all have enough money, Thaksin only has more political power and friends in the right places.

Hm,..Great reply and well written !!! You just made my day !!! thx !

It's not only Asian people !,.. I just read a file that the Argentine people also like to elect well known corrupt people in high office over and over again !!!,..I think the fine art of thinking and reflecting on the past has been lost and replaced by fake popularity on the internet.

The average tourist don't know anything about Thailand, except what the tourist brochures show !!! Smiling faces, beautiful people on coconut beaches, beautiful temples, great and inexpensive food !

“how I despise neutrality, only countries should be neutral since they’re abstract entities, people cannot be neutral, a friend of mine cannot caress my hand and kiss my enemy, laugh when they mock me, this is my true belief, maybe I’m wrong, neutral people are the most dangerous, they sell themselves to the highest bidder, betray us for a plate of lentils” ― João Reis, The Translator's Bride “One of the most important struggles of humanity is to ensure that our ‘fight against hate’ does not become ‘hate’ itself – while knowing that our neutrality in times of oppression is oppression itself.” ― Adeel Ahmed Khan “The world would be a better place to live in if only each individual's thinking and actions were not subject to any political or religious ideologies.” ― Amit Abraham

“Why should we cherish “objectivity”, as if ideas were innocent, as if they don’t serve one interest or another? Surely, we want to be objective if that means telling the truth as we see it, not concealing information that may be embarrassing to our point of view. But we don’t want to be objective if it means pretending that ideas don’t play a part in the social struggles of our time, that we don’t take sides in those struggles. Indeed, it is impossible to be neutral. In a world already moving in certain directions, where wealth and power are already distributed in certain ways, neutrality means accepting the way things are now. It is a world of clashing interests – war against peace, nationalism against internationalism, equality against greed, and democracy against elitism – and it seems to me both impossible and undesirable to be neutral in those conflicts.” ― Howard Zinn, Declarations of Independence: Cross-Examining American Ideology

“Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. ” ― Paulo Freire

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” ― Desmond Tutu (Foreword)

Hm,...Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. !!! “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. ― Desmond Tutu

Yep,...Someone who wanted to use the car for himself as well.
