Hey Mitch McConnell; Social Security isn't a burden on the Government, it is a payback of money ILLEGALLY STOLEN from we who worked and paid into the fund every month. Now that we are old enough to get a measly check, not close to what we would have had if we had put it into a savings account, we are considered a "tax burden". Screw you and all the Washington crooks. Some clever lawyer should get us to sign up for a mass liable suit to take the lost interest from current and retired Senators and Congress  persons. How do you come to Wash, D.C. on a $78,000 salary and in two years amass $12.000,000. Maybe selling votes?

I agree, sure looks like a BIG ad to me.

There is a reason motorcycles are forbidden from tunnels, but Thais know better.

Maybe he is not the biological Father?

To all of you looking for answers, DON'T HOLD  YOUR BREATH. TIT. Mind your own business, let the proper authorities handle a situation that you have no power over.

Such friendly School gun competition, warming up for the Olympics? No neighbors complaints? No school authorities seeing brutal beating marks? Child had no trust in reporting these beatings to nearest police? What's wrong here forks? I'm bored of reading this travesty of justice every day but then again. I'm not the one being beaten.

Until Thai authorities stop chasing motorcycles and concentrate on Children's welfare, this sort of torture will continue UNPUNISHED.

As a guest in this beautiful country, I would not want to be banned for any truthful comment I made concerning politicians.

Just change my shirt and no one will know I caused a man's death, TIT.

We kill at our leisure, says Saudi official.

No problem  here folks, just stay off the filthy beaches and stay on the currently ruptured walkways.

DID SOMEONE SAY THIS WAS A REALLY STUPID IDEA? NO? WELL IT IS A REALLY STUPID IDEA AND A NON-LICENSING AT THE LOCAL LEVEL IS EVEN MORE STUPIDIER (?) LIKE MY ENGLISH. OBVIOUSLY THAI POLITICOS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE MOVIE, "DUMB AND DUMBER". IT'S ALIVE AND WELL WITH SUIT WEARING POLITICIANS.

I was never too good at remembering names, now I'm great at forgetting why I care.

Saudis barred Thais from coming into Saudi Arabia in any labor contracts. They did allow those already working there to stay and also return from vacations. The actual thief was murdered while in Police custody (surprise, surprise), gems were never recovered as HI-SO (General's wives) refused to return the stolen gems. Does this surprise anyone who has lived in Thailand for any length of time?

Are their any "Old Guys" left to visit Nana Plaza? Used to be a favorite but, as with SOI 22 denizens, so many are gone the way of Patpong.

Stupid is an often abused word. In Thailand when it comes to governing bodies, Stupid does not begin to cover the idiocy of appointed governing bodies. As an owner of five cats, all spayed, all caged at night one being a house nut, two birds and an unknown creature, all caged and well cared for, I do want or need some tight arse suit and tie jerk governing every minute of everyone's day. Take a break and go back to the massage palour.

My daughter, her family, nephew and his family were very fortunate to escape Michael as it veered away from the West side of Florida.

My wife and I flew Taipei airlines BKK/TPI/SFO on their extended economy package and found it a reasonable alternative to other airlines packages. (excuse abbreviation for Taipei)

Unlike their American counterparts, Thai girls seem to not enjoy french kissing. Even wife of many years go for a kiss but not a Frenchie. The 'sniffing' seems to be fairly common among Thais women.

Not sure if I'm spelling this correctly but the words that comes to mind are: GoHok makmak.

SOI BJ was named after an expat bar owner by the name of 'BJ', known by many of us old timers, unfortunately so many of which have passed to their next lives. Spent many an evening with friends there with other expat friends. Typical situation, bar was doing too well so he raised rent so high it was not reasonable. Bar stayed empty for a long period then was leased to Thais at 300 Baht a day. BJ stands for Bill Jones. I have not been doing the bar scene for so long I don't even know if Bill is still among the living.

THIS IS NOT A RARE OCCURRENCE IN THAILAND, JUST GROSSLY UNREPORTED. So sad for the abused young children and shame on the Thai justice (or lack thereof) system.

A full load of passengers, even Chinese, would have given the aircraft adequate weight to stop it from hydroplaning and going off the runway. Still, it's the 1st Officers job to brake to landing.

Oh spirits of all that is, save me from the lowly humanoids who would wrongly accuse the devil of their problems and then compound the "sin?" by calling upon "ANGELS???" to check their evilness. SPARE ME.
