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??

One good reason not to drive a Toyota ! 

Yah Toyota cars does that to you......

Actually this happens all around the world....A man flashing a knife or sword in a fight between two persons but where nobody comes to harm, even if the perception of the person not having the knife is that his life is in danger at the time. When it goes to court, for example if the guy who was attacked by the knife wielding guy (remember nobody came to harm) takes it to court, the court will look at prior records, the situation in which the knife came into play, the situation between the two antagonists. The court will conclude there is no cause for any conviction and dismiss the case or the guy with the knife will be lightly sentenced to probation. If he had killed or severely harmed with the knife/sword....then it would have become another matter altogether....that's how justice works.....in most places....Of course in Thailand we always have this special situation where cops are not really interested in doing their job unless there is some payback for it.

In Thailand the law is not so Black and White as some are suggesting, one have to take into account following matters:

1. Does the defendant have a sick water buffalo at the family farm or not?

2. How many relatives to the defendant rely on her income?

3. A background check of the accuser may very well reveal unexpected wealth, in which case she could very well easily afford to pay the 5,000 Baht, as well as some side donations to various police departments and justice functionalities. 

4. The defendant may very well have an uncle in the military or police, in which case the whole thing becomes a nogo......

Justice by banana........

And who wants a crappy I-phone anyways? better to buy a new real phone......any Android will do.....

Just as you can find e-coli anywhere you look in nature, legionella can also be found anywhere. Just not in any significant concentrations to cause harm. The Myth-busters showed this very nicely when they placed toothbrushes around in a bathroom for a few days and every brush had e-coli samples, even the one they didn't open from the factory packaging.

I think they forgot to mention that they just adapted those forgotten bomb detectors they bought many years ago for millions of baht and how they found a way to put them in a box to detect everything under the sun... and now they call it an x-ray machine... ooopsss

 

 

nonono.....those detectors works just fine!

Just assemble a big metal box, glue a monitor to it and put some fancy looking old pc motherboards into the box, install some old conveyor rolls found in a junk yard and sell it to the Thais, nobody will ever know.....

And when someone complains the machine doesn't work, just tell them they didn't follow the manual correctly and the warranty is void.... 

Try finding a bike or buy a cheap bike in bkk and take it with you, bike is healthy.
