And how 500 baht, pray-tell, will prevent foreigners from over saying?

Would a 'bad quality foreigner /tourist' will be deterred from entering

the kingdom just because he has to pay 500 baht?

It sounds like a stroke. I shall light a candle and incense for Chalerm. I much prefer him to Plodprasop.

Better light a bon fire...

Karma is in town, what goes around comes around....

I bet they hidden it in their bra....

He should be immediately suspended, charged and prosecuted by Thai authorities. If guilty of negligence and risk to human life he should be terminated, jailed, fined and prohibited from working as a driver again.

Yes, he should be transferred to 'inactive post' immediately...

Still not comfortable flying Indonesian regional airlines,, safety track records leaves

a lot to yet be desired... but this is me...

Try 39living at www.39living.com I have bought some nice Indonesian/Balinese style furniture from

them 3 years ago and so far so good and the price is fair.. Tel: 02 2587522

I have been a AA frequent traveler on the Bkk-Kul-Mel route since the beginnings, those days

I could fly that route for less than $500 round trip, now days with all the add-ons the ticket get

to the $700+ on a good day and dearer on a bad day,

what was my biggest dislike was the long stop over in KUL sitting in this very basic, noisy and

uncomfortable, one fits-all departure lounge, the other drag was having to walk quite a distant

from the plane to the lounge and same when departing, all in all, not heart worming for a middle

aged travelers, those facts made me choose other airlines to fly home with.

Now however, with the introduction of the direct flight from DM with out that lay over I will certainly

give them another try, all that remain to see will be their fare structure and how competitive with

other direct flight to Melb.

If this is the case of giving blanket amnesty to all wrong doers criminals and all effectively

from 2006, it will be only befitting to offer same to all other criminals in the penal

systems who committed crimes dating back to 2006, right? why only Thaksin and his ilk ?

The old adage that says: "tell me who's you friends and I'll tell you who you are"

and: if you lie with dogs..... still, no sense in killing innocent people..

When I see a amphibian bi-plane parked on the tarmac than I will be convinced that

they are ready for the floods....

I have come to the conclusion that in the Thai government there are department and personal

specially allocated to come up with ideas how to bilk, milk and squeeze more money out of

foreigners, otherwise I'm at a loss to explain all those fakakte hare brain schemes that come

out of their mouth every Monday and Thursday...

I wonder what will happened, and who will be responsible for damages to said vehicles

while in the process of being towed or while in police impound ? from experience, I'm

sure that great care to said towed vehicles will not paramount on the mind of the tow

trucks operators...

Investigations suggested the suspect had been seen going out with many foreigners prior to the incident. Really ?

Are there Thai ladies as fickle as this ?

How they know that without finding her ? do they know her ?

many ways now days to find a person, CCTV cameras everywhere, airports, restaurants shopping centers,

also personal IP address and SMS signatures,, not to mention name and facial description,

So they say it's about the insects themselves containing too much histamine. Then they go on to explain it's to do with bacteria having histamine.

Why does everything I read in the news here set off my BS detector.

Indeed, half baked reporting lacking lots more important details such as how many fatalities

have been reported so far and where and what kind of 'bugs' as there are several kind

and species of bugs being farmed and sold out there just to name a few..

Why probe anew? please refer to pervious years, same issues same complaints, and probably

same outcome, nada, nothing, and next year it will be the same, where Thai people and

picking berries involve, there will be cheating and scheming...

As if Thai people were driving on the right all their life and than someone came and change

the driving rules on them in the middle of the night, what a load of bull,

Most of the fatalities on our roads is due to drink and drive, use of drugs and drive,

vehicles over loaded, unlicensed, unqualified drivers behind the wheels, and general

lack of respect even to the most basic traffic and decorum laws....

Yeah,, pickled grapes, pickled hop and pickled barley, and not necessarily in the same order..

Should he need fairies to staff his snow town, I'm sure there will be lots of applicants for the job :-)

let's look at it a bit closer, where are they going to park all those towed cars and pick ups?

last time I look, the local police stations hardly had enough room to park their own cars

an their back yard was full of accident wrecked cars,

What will happened if the car towed is damaged, vandalized or broken in to and stuff

and valuables stolen? who's going to be responsible for it?

I'm sure there will be few more kinks in this scheme to tow away cars willy nilly and

there will be a public back lash...
