I find the comments about "poor parenting" and "he wore no helmet" to be really at odds with the fact that a car with passengers struck and killed a lad and then left the scene. And in fact there was a second car as well. How callous is that? They left his body there and drove off, probably pissed.

The First-time car buyer rebate scheme was certainly responsible for putting a lot of cars on the roads, increasing pollution and causing more traffic jams.
And accidents and the death toll

NOT SO.
You are expressing your opinion not facts or statistics.
In the ER hospitals 75% of fatalities and/or injuries are the result of traffic accidents involving motorcycles, not cars.
That has been the norm for years. Also my experience from 2009-2013 during my tenure in Srivichai hospitals.
Yes we all know that the majority of road deaths are motorbike riders - they're the ones who end up on the meatwagon. That does not mean it was not a car that put them there!!!!

Looks like a bag of RICE. Is it just a typo headline, 2.5 kg of ICE?

You would expect that an airport in a fookin warzone would already be high alert anyway. This sounds to me like a test, the intruder seemingly had no intention of not getting caught. He refused to move; had he moved from the seat to a vacant one he probably would have remained on the flight. There is no mention of his baggage ..... did he have any? What was in it? If he was released after questioning, he is Thai. Any form of a foreigner and he would still be banged up. So why was he pretending he didn't understand Thai? I reckon it was a stunt to highlight the <deleted> security .....

When I read the headline I knew it was not a fish ... cos there be none left in these waters

Ain't this a tough one. Majority of Farangs spew forth about Red violence, ignorant masses, Shin corruption etc. I detest Thaksin as much as anyone else. But the truth of it is, these people (50 yrs old Somchai and co.) DID legitimately vote for him (or her, whoever), did win every election for the last 10 years, and have had to watch as their vote is discounted, ripped up and thrown in the bin. And they will win another election tomorrow if it were held without obstruction. Can you imagine how it feels to be a downtrodden farmer who was eventually well-represented, albeit by a populist gift-bearing snake, to then have your 'vote' declared invalid?

I hope they use the tinted goggles for gas-axe work .....

Staggering number, 2131 cubic meters per person per year. A cubic meter is 1000L, that is a 1 x 1 x 1m cube of water. 2.1 million litres per year. I would have thought my own consumption to be less than a quarter of this but as the stat includes so much non-personal use, in the agri and industrial sectors, it seems impossible to improve this number by making changes at home.

The road is all dual carraigeway now, meaning it is possible to drive quite fast ans use both lanes for high speed cornering. <deleted> is a motorcycle doing down in the middle of the road? Were there any witnesses?
-
At least the guy stopped and claimed responsibility
I believe the article says he ost control and went off the road. Meaning he had an accident ....

Seems arse about face doesn't it? The amount is decided but they dont now what they want to build .... so they are hatching the plans how to spend the wonga.
So where did the number 2.2 trillion come from? Perhaps Boss in Dubai reckons the loans need to be that amount to facilitate the return of his 72 billion, by the back door. Either way, he will be getting his donation back.

Apparently all the extra rice planted is also putting pressure on the water supplies, exacerbating the drought situation in may provinces. That has got to piss people in non-rice provinces off if they start rationing to keep the paddys wet and paying the farmers also?

The ankle is a stunt - hapless female wheeled into court in a wheelchair to defend herself ...... PR stunt, images have a far more pronounced effect on the public's eye, and even go to the sub-conscious. For sure it is the Boss's idea.

I think the music industry has taken the piss out of artists and audiences alike for decades. It is time for the record companies to suck it up and tke the losses. In a few yrs they wont exist as bands will promote their material independently over our world's new media channels.

Hey all you lot spewing forth about injustice corruption etc. Do you think any white boy or Thai will be treated in any other way by the judicial system in Saudi Arabia? You are guilty over there before you didn't do it, cos you aint wearing a towel. Saudis have no right to expect justice anywhere in the world, why defend them?

There should be a national pissup organised to protest the ban. The whole nation reveling pissdrunk, not a single vote cast the following day, purely in defiance. When the vote is rearranged with no ban in place, all electorate to turn up sober and vote, thereby proving that drink is the root cure for all evil.

I suspect that he has brown bombed himself too, brown stainage visible on inside of left thigh, just adjacent to where his balls are hanging out. Pure class this one, Aussie's finest. I reckon the airline has to answer a few questions too. He was not that drunk getting on the plane, that's for sure.

Well one does have to question the citeria for these awards, because they must certainly not include aesthetic and natural beauty, water quality and 'close to natural condition'. That Patong beach is mentioned puts the whole award system into disrepute. I have lived in Patong for 12 years, and the beach is filth. Swimmers give way to power-toys (or die), joggers are pestered by jetski beachboys, the water is FULL of plastic (true of all Phuket beaches), and the south end is basically a sewer.
Having said all that, it is very entertaining place to spend the day, there is so much going on. Katoeys playing volleyball, parasailers moving sunbathers away at their command, drinking sessions, hookers on the job, families, kids, steroid heads showing off and since the Russian invasion plenty of paleskinned eye candy.
Something for everyone, eh?

Any buses which canot pass the stability test will be sold into private transport syndicate's hands, for use in Phuket, the graveyard for Thai buses (with the steepest road hill in Thailand aswell). Why kill Thais when the same death stats can be charged to Chinese or Russian accounts?

No mention of the weapons which were used in defence, were these weapons legal? Was possession of these weapons, by the people who used them, legal? Are all redhsirt radio stations carrying arms? Is that legal? Why are they all armed?

“In addition to being charged for working without a work permit, Mr Seigneurin was charged for not filing a list of guests currently staying at the resort with Phuket Immigration, which in this case would have included Ms Strizheus,” Lt Col Tianchai said.
So he's charged both with working illegally and not doing his job properly?
LMFAO!!!!

Chai looks like a 50:50 or a straight Farang puppy. Looks healthy and cleaned up, he wasn't born 10 minutes before he was found. Good luck to him!!!
