Yes, those who look beyond the family are the ones resorting to simplicity. (He says with a hint of sarcasm)

People complaining about single gateway in Thailand (bad idea) should complain about this too. This is real bad too. Big invasion of privacy. If this was suggested in Thailand you should see the fallout about the dumb Thais ect. Wonder how much flack this will get here.

Do you really think the Security Services are going to search through millions of records of Internet history just for the hell of it. This Bill will legalise the Authorities to search Suspects of Crime and Terror activities. to prevent any of these people escaping Justice from a loophole. I would willingly forego my privacy if it helped a terrorist cell be caught before innocent people are bombed and killed

Carrot detected. Don't take the bait....He doesn't mean any of it.

This snoopers charter was not in their election manifesto.

The headline should say "Buildings earmarked for housing refugees burnt down - The Swedish Public has spoken"

Ask the average Englishman about mass migration, they will say old England is gone forever, the theory is good, we are all humans , unfortunately the practice does not work out ......

Really the problem can only be resolved from where it comes from.

arson is not the answer.

then you aren't asking the right question.

Here (in this context), the question is always the same, going by some posts on here.....Its down to tunnel vision.

If we ask the average Englishman, we should also ask the average Scotsman, Welshman and Northern Irishman. As for an "old England", the average Englishman dosen't live in the past. The average Englishman lives in the present and looks forward.

Unfortunately, your idea of the average Englishman is a fuitcake, loony, closet racist UKIP supporter.

arson is not the answer.

I'm on Soi 59 in Thonglor. It's a nice residential area and about a 7 minute walk to the BTS station. Thonglor/Ekkamai are probably going to be your safest bets. I found my place by sending out requests to random real estate agents.

Yep, Ekkamai is quiet. Close to On-Nut (for shopping).

If you use BTS, watch out for the BTS extension fare if you use the BTS rabbit card Trips option. its not much about 10 bhat per journey, but can add-up. The worse thing about it is that the fee is not advertised on the Rabbit card leaflets or the posters.

The Journey from Ekkamai to Chitlom takes about 30 minutes, much quicker than by road, but due to the number of stops, not quick By BTS standards.

Ekkamai- Chidlom is 6 stops i think, it takes about 10 mins.

Correct. I was thinking of Punnawithi. (18 minutes to Chitlom/ 10 stops). Ekkamai is good for public transport. MRT connection available at Asok/Sukhumvit, which is 3 stops from Ekkamai.

Huge Big C (for shopping) in Ekkamai if i remember correctly.

i found this story truely disturbing...

woman dont do crazy stuff like this! Do we know the true story?

I had a look at the uncensored video for the first time and she`s not bad looking. I wouldn`t kick her off my motorbike or out of bed.

In the video she is waving to people while on the back of the motorbike taxi and obviously knows she is the centre of attention. I have no idea whether she`s just plain nuts or a publicity seeker, but one thing I do know for sure, most women are exhibitionists. They love drawing attention to themselves and then get peeved and complain when it`s the wrong attention and us men being accused of being perverts just for our thoughts. Like donkeys being tempted by the carrot and beaten if they take it.

She was waving as if she was in the back of a horse-drawn carriage, except she was in the back of a motorcycle taxi.

Police have released her. She was Fined 500 Bhat.

Police traced her by following the Snail tracks,

Geez...Hope the next customer on the motorcycle wiped licked the seat before getting on.

May be on drugs or something, but definitely has mental problems. Amazing how so many nut jobs choose Thailand as a travel destination.

How do you work that one out?. She may have been drugged without her knowledge (drink spiked?), in which case, does that mean she has mental problems?

Naked Nana Girl - Junta's cunning plan to increase tourism?

Law will deal with any red-shirt rally on Sunday: Prawit

....We will take action according to the law.

Bit vague. Which particular law is he talking about. Is it article 44?.

Even if its not, was the law he is talking about passed through an elected assembly (excuse the pun..realise we are speaking about assembly in both contexts - one the right for people to assemble, the other where elected representative assemble).

Do not recommend visa on arrival at HCM. I did that last time...it was a zoo and took over an hour.

I hope he wins, it is time to stop the invasion of Europe.

Ignoring the morals of dealing with China, this does show that the UK doesn't need to be in EU to make business deals.

If only we were dealing with morals. China is signatory to many international conventions. e.g. Convention against Corruption, the convention against torture, the convention on the rights of the child ...see a more complete list here:

Thai Government said they were not going ahead with it (the Great Firewall). Just goes to show....Don't believe a word.

According to the video on post #58, you see someone fall on their back, scramble backwards on their hands, get-up, and start shouting again.

As all this is happening, there is a man wearing a hi-viz vest/jacket looking on. He's made no attempt to step-in or diffuse the situation. Strange indeed..

But did the pregnant woman offer to pay the damage caused by her son?

My experience is that parents in Thailand don't care what their kids are doing, even not when it's obvious somebody or something will get damaged by their wild behaviour. In Thai society it's not done to correct kids from being kids.

Of course nothing justifies kicking a pregnant woman.

Thailand or anywhere, parents when they are in public care about what their kids are doing. At least responsible parents do. If their kid bullies another kid and the parent sees it (most) parents will intervene.

It dosen't matter where it happens. Its a universal fact.

Have to disagree. Went to local restaurants with my son and niece when they were young, constantly questioned my wife about their behaviour. Apparently no problem but I was always slightly embarrassed.

I agree,

MANY parents (including westerners) dont care if their kid is a bully!

they see it as having a Strong Kid who will do well in life.

Many parents see it as a 'positive' and they will just tell the weak kid who is being bullied to 'toughen up' coz he will need to be tougher in life.

I had direct experience with this at my sons school. (my son was wide-eyed and innocent back then and a Thai-French kid (who was brought up by his Single French Mum) was a bully (and thief) to many classmates in school (especially my son). and the mum did absolutely nothing to resolve anything. She actually stood up behind her son and lied on his behalf.

now I hear more bad roumors about this particular French boy at his new school. So I guess he will grow up being this bully-cheating personality (and with full support of his foreign french mother).

What will the school (teachers, and heads) say to the kid being bullied and the kid doing the bullying. That's the key, not what some arrogant, deceitful (lying) parent who covers for her son.

Surprised that the school would take her word and not go on the actions of the son.

Get together with the other parents and go straight to the school head.

A kid repeatedly hitting (damaging) others property is down to Kids being kids in Thailand. That's settled then. Next.....

Suffice to say, if this was so, we would be experiencing a lot more of these incidents. I've visited Thailand on many occasions and never witnessed this kind of behaviour from kids. The school kids travelling on the BTS always give-up their seat for elderly passengers.

Thanks for sharing. We just need someone else to say the same and we can all agree.
