Police said the boy is a son of a senior Army officer in the province

Speaks volumes that they included that line in the narrative. They may as well just have written 'He's connected, he'll get clean away with it'' but probably didn't have the bottle to go into full implications of dealing with a military officer. Thoughts go out to the copper and his family. One hopes the lad sees the inside of a jail for the next 20 years of his life but we all know he'll maybe get a slap on the wrist, publicly, at worst, then it will all go away....

Street racing in Aranyprathet, Thailand's main border town to Cambodia. Where were they heading to?

Sa Kaew is a sparsely populated provice. When I lived in AP the kids used to love to race between AP and Amphur Sa Kaew. The road is twisty turny, light on traffic, which can make for a white knuckle bus or car ride at any speed at all, so I can imagine how much 'fun' it could be for a kid on a bike.

Its as bad as the guy I overheard in TukCom asking the stallholder if the latest Samsung Mobile which was on sale for a couple of thousand baht was genuine.

Quite, he should have been thrashed within an inch of his life....

How about providing decent schools free from nonsense about 'citizenship' and '12 values'. Of far better value to the future of the country than pointlessly throwing a scabby pittance at people, encouraging irresponsible population booms.

Park up at Central Bang Na, then nip up to Udomsuk BTS on one of the shuttle buses or in a cab.

There are too many grey areas for mr in this debate. On the one hand you find those moaning about 'invasions of privacy' who then seem to become outraged that the authorities 'didn't do enough' to prevent outrages as seen this week in Paris, yet still seem to be calling that the security authorities don't use the events of the past week to increase their powers in preventing such horrors happening again.

I'm guessing that alcohol was a prime factor.

was drinking with Mr. Phisit Mangkhang (38 years old) who is the owner of the house where the body was found, a Mr. Yingruk Banhan (37 years old) and Mr. Tom, a freelancer were also drinking with the victim. On the night in question a fight broke out during which the deceased was beaten and stabbed to death.

Mr. Phisit was subsequently questioned by the police, he claimed that he was very drunk and went to bed early before he heard people arguing outside,

Indeed seeing as they were 'drinking'.....good work Sherlock....Do you think a woman was involved in the dispute too?

Bear in mind that many trains from Surat Thani get busy so you may have to book a fair bit in advance.

It is a pretty nifty little trip down to Penang where the food is great. Shame is that by the time the train hits Surat Thani the restaurant car is closed which is the highlight of the trip for many.

Oddly, these supposed heinous crimes all involve Khun Farang getting his knickers in a knot about what Thai people do in their own country that causes inconvenience to farang generally and high quality sex tourists especially.

Why do you write like this as though you're not a 'farang'? You'll never be Thai....very disturbing behaviour...

Should I spend 200 Baht on coffee or just head along to the lounge?

Who is coming along and how much discount for three towers of Leo?

Now I know your trolling, as mrs SMOKIE doesn't let you out of the house with anymore that 100 baht.

And even then he apparently just blows it on 99B breakfasts and never brings home the 1B change for some reason much to Mrs Smokie's vexation....

If you're paying I work it out as a 100% discount for me....

Hearty congratulations Ryan from me and Mrs Plant (soon to be Bell)

They really need a 99 baht coin

Or, perchance a 69B coin if one finds oneself rubbing shoulders with the 'Nomads' in a particularly reeking grubby dive in Pattaya if you can find a seat for al the umbrellas....

I wonder if the TVF Bar does a 99 Baht Beakfast ?

If you see George and Tywais running down Sukhumwit, sniggering, their pockets bulging with snaffled 1B coins, you know they do......

Never mind oil. What happens when the price of a sweaty breakfast in Pattaya falls to 49B?

You could buy a nice bag of marbles for 2 quid

Come in handy to replace steroid addled <deleted>...

The real history, thanks a million!

LOL. Written by a bog trotting 15 year old who seems to omit the IRA's cowardly random slaughter of innocent people, especially kids across the UK in the 70s and 80s or their bullying and intimidation of their own communities in Ireland during the same time period. What a crock of abysmally written monkey knackers (I'm guessing by a 15 year old Yank). A mod should kill that drivel......

You mean they waited hours until the guy was drunk and easy

And this Fenian 'hero' was trying his luck with a load of old men.....sounds about your limit pal....Was funny watching the sh*t switch from his gob to his legs as soon as the lad told him to step outside....

And greng jai doesn't mean "heart" anything.

Don't go there pal......

So you mean you are like a modern day prostitute? "Earn my share"? so she can have a fun trip to Europe she's always wanted? You do indeed sound like a prostitute.

As does your 'Girlfriend''.....now pop orf.....

The entire incident lasted less than a minute.

I know how he feels.....
