they are missing out on half the film industry. porn movies. now they have stamped out prostitution those girls need work and it would help kick start the thai film industry. how can i tell madam TAT of my idea?

Good point.

suspects are innocent till proven guilty. their photos should not be shown till they have had their day in court or the matter has been sorted out another way. thats in a first world country of course. last time this was announced it was 2 days later the body in a fridge suspects were paraded in front of the press. wonder if they can stop for 2 days this time.

Seize whatever assets the bloke has in Thai banks and use that to help the family.

what if it was not the foreigners fault?

I am looking forward to the day, hopefully soon, when the word "are" in the above statement, is replaced by the word "were."

'they' will just be replaced by another group. there is no winning the war on terror. good for the industrial military machine. not good for the rest of us.

now they have to keep the reds from winning the next election or it will all be changed around again. wonder how they are going to do that. oh year thats right the referendum. 

they obviously are not getting enough to run the parks properly. they are covered in trash and in many cases are unsafe. they need to be keeping more from the entry fees for maintenance, not less.

these desperate underage girls turn to prostitution to support their families and kids then what happens to them? they end up in jail or pay a fine to keep whoring?

It's all going to end up in tears. 

and down the line another coups. 20 coups in 80 years, surely there is a pattern. wash rinse and repeat. someone must be getting rich off it all other wise it would not keep being repeated over and over again.

wonder if there will ever come a time where it will be reported what punishment these criminals get. i fear many have the means to compensate the family and pay off the cops meaning they never really pay for their crimes.

Full credit to Thai ladies for seeing through this slapper. Nice to see you saw through her get rich quick plan.

half thai ladies saw through it (not that there was anything really hidden about the goal) other half were busy out trying to get a rich ferang. good old thais pretending to be outraged at something that is actually just standard practice in thailand.

seems this lady is getting a ton of free advertising out of it all.

Yingluck proving once again how dishonest she is....

she proved she was smart. does not matter if you are innocent or not, if the army comes after your assets you get them out of your name preferably moved offshore. remember the dutch guy who had the weed cafes  in holland? he was never convicted of any crime but his assets were seized. he never should have bought them to thailand.

i like this story better than the taxi driver returns 10 000thb left in his taxi. makes a nice change.

No, no, no, you don't understand. Only SpiderOrchid has the qualifications and experience to speak of what is real in Thailand, the rest of us know nothing. After all, he lives there! 

Despite the vast majority of the rural people having been terribly affected by the dreadful rice scam to the point of bankruptcy, for some reason there's a strong reluctance to allow these poor victims to express their anger and disappointment over who has betrayed them through the polls. Not only that, they're making damn sure that regardless of the poll results, the Army and old regime will still retain control. Why is that, do you suppose? Surely given your knowledge that the rural poor are ready to rise up and avenge the terrible hardships inflicted upon them by Thaksin and his evil family you would support an election as soon as possible, no?

would seem that politics dont effect spiderorchid so no one should be discussing them.  

actually i dont know what will happen with the next election. i doubt anyone really does. i suspect many people will be angry that they wont really be elections at all but a sham trying to project the illusion of an election. i actually dont see any point having elections at all. not under they armies current method where they choose who runs and can take power back at any time.

It sure was for the cops...3mil baht to divide equally among all of them.

doubt they care if he was doing anything wrong, they got a payoff and wont be pressing the matter any further.

most hookers in thailand know they are breaking the law plying their trade. a trade that especially this week has come under considerable scrutiny. their survival probably depends on keeping a low profile, not giving their ID and answering political surveys.

Well, you don't live here for a start. I do.

Your input is your input, not the wife or any Thai person.

Welcome back to Thailand when you have thousands of years more history than you do.

i just finished living in thailand for 10 years. i just left as i want my kids to be schooled in new zealand.

what is happening now in thailand effects me just as much, probably more than it does you as my family is half thai.  i am not speaking on their or any other thai persons behalf,  i never said i was. 

thousands of years of more history. no idea what that means.

still missing what you think i said that was so ridiculous.

Does any of this actually affect you? Just a bit interested in your rants. I actually live here,

I have zero input to what is going on and it does not impact me in any way. Nor my neighbours,

nor my village nor the province. 

I hope you do not live here, your posts are so ridiculous to any resident here.

 Unless you live in a bar at Pattaya, they are very insightful.

yes it effects me, my 2 kids are half thai, their mum is thai, i have a business in thailand. i will probably retire back to thailand if it is a good place to retire at that stage.

of course you have zero input but there is no way you can live in thailand and not be affected by what is going on.  

interested to know what you think is so ridiculous.

I suspect the level of hatred will begin to dissipate when there is a democratically elected government in place.

the level of hatred will most probably grow as the masses realize the army dictates who will run in the next election and retain actual control even after the elections are held. this is probably why the general keeps delaying the elections.

great story. good on her. solar seems to be the way forward. i have always been skeptical with how much energy can be captured per square meter. amazing to see how much energy actually travels 150 million km and hits out tiny planet.

the chinese are ruthless in business. thats why thailand is owned and run by the thai/chinese. within a few lifetimes they took over the whole of thailand. they have plundered many african countries of their wealth. i have to hand it to them as their foreign business model is better than americas business model of loaning money through the IMF or destabilizing the country through war.

no way thailand got a good deal with this project, the general is just desperate to show some progress after being in power for so long.

when my son was at school in thailand we used to get information about foot and mouth disease quite often. i told my father who is a farmer in new zealand about it and he was surprised that humans could get it. leaves me wondering if it is the same disease as the one contracted by animals.

Please, legalize prostitution and use your forces to battle underage prostitution with even more severe punishments.

nice thought but the cops make more money from keeping it illegal. big payday for them catching politicians. they have plenty of money and dont want their names smeared by something like this.

they are hardly going to say it was a failure or they would be out of a job. have to wonder why the rain making people dont get held accountable for thailands past floods. sounds like they make marginally more rain than yingluck.

too simple ?

it seems people do stupid things to add excitement to their lives. people are quick to blame north korea but fact is he choose to go there.

maybe westerners should stop going there.
