I keep getting these girls saying "Love you long time...buy me honda". What's up with that?

They are actually saying "Love you long time....buy me honey":)

Whatever happened to "slinky" the guy crawling around on the sidewalk on Sukhumvit and then taking his motorcycle back home after his daily shift?

I'm trying to understand how a Thai, in Bangkok, could think this is even worthy of mention...

 

Must be fresh from Chiang Mai:)

Look out for those boy scouts and girl scouts (in their thirties) showing you their photo album from the last Jamboree, asking for money to finance the next one......They are all from Singapore too......

If every "farang" posted on facebook everytime someone tried to scam them here in Thailand, I think facebook would collapse under the burden......

Great pointing, case closed!

I never understood how there can be statutes of limitation for any crime. Means you just hide for a while and then your free, how is that justice?

Serious crimes should never have a time limit for prosecution.

I'd suggest more research rather than just dig up this old lie. All sides were giving assistance in the form of an allowance for travel etc.  Is it good?  NO  but ALL did it and hopefully it will stop.  I know of people who took the allowance and voted how they wanted anyway, no one looking over their shoulder so it made ZERO difference. Can we move on now as this is about Thaksins apt Twitter feed?

I did not In any way suggest the 500 baht had any effect on the outcome of the election. In fact There has never been any evidence that bribing the citizens to vote in any way has affected the outcome of any election. However as all my wives relatives say, they have all been offered money to vote at one time or other, and they all live in Bangkok.

The point of my post is not about the 500 Baht, but I was lamenting over the corruption.

When every single politician, military and government official in a country is so deeply to the bone corrupt, who should you vote for in an election? the ones who seems to be the least corrupt? Or the ones who offer 500 baht for your vote? But then if all of them offer you 500 baht, you just take 500 from all of them and vote with a blindfold?

Sounds like you have some hardware problems.

Disassemble the laptop and clean it inside (Vacuum, especially around cooling system area and fan),  if that does not help I am afraid your charging circuits and some other hardware probably is damaged. I would guess it relates to some power supply circuit for those particular components on your board. If that is the case, time to buy a new laptop.

I know about a guy who saluted just like that but slightly different........

"Thai women, especially those from the northeast region, are soft-spoken and submissive,"

Huh??? what????

Nothing that a cataract operation can't fix....

If the Thai passport is un-stamped she can use that for exit. However, then the US passport can never again be used when entering, unless it is changed. But the Thai database system may have something to say in the matter as well if the name in the Thai passport is the same as in the US passport.

Remember, in a condo you are not allowed to make any alterations to the structural walls between condos, so the safe in the wall is out of the question unless you have concrete/brick walls inside the condo. just fix it above the ceiling would be my advice.

It is extremely easy to get out of Thailand if you are escorted with your security team with suitcases full of cash. just hand a million to each and everyone that stands in the way.....And then you send the rest of your assets in a separate jumbo....

Countless past governments of Thailand has done this failed rice subsidy scheme riddled with corruption again and again, I think the last one before "the darlings" government was Chuan Leekpais government in the 90is or so, They never went to jail for that mess......... 

Who can possibly analyze the extremely murky waters of Thai society and Politics? There are so many different possibilities of Yinglucks fleeing, you need a quantum computer to compute it. She could have payed all or some of the security details enormous amounts of money to look the other way, hell, she could have paid some people very high in the govt. enormous amounts of money. Or somebody just let her go because having her in Jail is a nasty prospect for the future of Thai politics. Any number of other possibilities are all possible....and nobody will ever know because this is Thailand......

Internet news sources are pretty poor these days, the original story goes on about the cut on his foot and the diphtheria as though they are related, he then says he didn't get any vaccinations prior to travelling.

 

For those of us who didn't get around to reading the story.

Well he did say, in the original article, that the foot got bigger and bigger and bigger, which any normal person would find rather alarming, but he still didn't do anything until his dad saw it and told him to get to a doctor??

The guy waited 4 days before removing the piece of glass stuck in his foot? Was he drunk all that time? He blames the delay on his youth, damn when I was that age I wouldn't wait 4 days??
