This xenophobic country has surely sent a very clear message, "we don't want foreigners" !

protectionism at it's worst.

Good luck with that one, his speech must have fell on deaf ears.

As we read this a kind hearted taxi driver story's being dusted off in readiness for publication. 

Yep just wait for it... 500,000 baht returned to a farang at the airport by a king hearted taxi driver who has a sick buffalo !

Second case for this condo.... last time it was an Irishman.

If you're English or Scottish be careful... as the joke goes !

"It was quite alright to eat or put on make-up - but drivers should wait until it was safe to do so."

Based on that comment, presumably the use of mobile phones is OK, when it is safe to do so.

And there-in lays the problem... most Thais don't know when it's safe to do so...

some think it's fine at 100 miles an hour. !

Well the BTS and the MRT have done alright.  They have to start somewhere.

I agree both services have worked well.

Having said that I do hope a new independant rail-line is laid down that will take the high speed train.
And yes the all important inspection & maintenance programme which prevents any accidents as apposed to a heavy lift crane to clear up the mess afterwards!.

And yes... crossing points will have to be 100% Thai proof !

The real problem is as we all know that "influential people, government officials & police are usually involved in the practices.
Either directly owning/running the establishments which use the girls or they are taking bribes to let them continue.

Until these people are irradiated then nothing will change.. fining the "managers" does nothing while the real culprits always get away scott-free!

Doesn't sound like good news for the TEFL industry. 

Or the agricultural, factory, fishing & construction industry... but I guess they won't be checked too thoroughly?

Twenty-twenty year old mother of four.

Rather young.

Possibly mother of five... if you include the one that got sold?

& what's twenty-twenty? I'm sure you meant twenty two

Most dangerous roads in the World IMO.

 

Road rage seems to be rampant now as well, with daily attacks with weapons, rammings and vehicular manslaughter all a regular occurrence. 

 

I have said it before and will countless times again, this is what happens when you jump a single generation from buffalo to a motor vehicle. There simply isn't the time to adapt, whether that be proper driver education, law enforcement, build proper infrastructure or to learn basic skills in charge of a motor vehicle. All these have taken place over decades in other countries.

 

You have to learn to crawl before you can walk. 

proper driver education, law enforcement, build proper infrastructure or to learn basic skills in charge of a motor vehicle. All these have taken place over decades in other countries.

But will never stop an a-hole being an a-hole !!

If they've got any other positions vacant I've got a kidney I could donate ?

Do they have inactive chairs in banks

Yes... usually in an office with "branch manager" written on the door.

What happened to doctor patient confidentiality?

I'm sure he didn't expect his story and photo to be published online?

After the last debacle with the two deaths on the beach & the farce of an investigation leading to the two arrests and conviction of the Myanmarese boys someone has decided this time no body will be found, no investigation is needed, so no adverse local or international publicity.

Obviously the killers are still on the island doing whatever they wish and being protected by a corrupted bought-off police.

people should just stay away from the place and let it slowly die a natural death.

another nonce story, another bullet needed!

A bullets to quick, castrate him and choke him to death on his own instrument... as he's a music teacher he'd like that !

But what's the point if presumably they all got nicked while being washed

and hanged out to dry rendering useless any of the lingering whiffs and

other by products of the wearer private parts... anyway, what do I know?....

Obviously too much !

The list just gets longer and longer

So why didn't the police act more quickly and actually go to the offices themselves?

Seems like the press were hot-off-the-foot to get there for a story, now the man in question has obviously done the usual runner !

What is the need for this?  The answer is easy... any children driving a motorbike to school should have their bike confiscated... school report the child parents to police... police fine parents and give warning more serious punishment if happens again. 

 

Why won't they do this?!!!

 

In my village I have seem really young kids about 10 years old.. driving motorbikes.. and of course NEVER any helmets! 

 

 

Because this is Thailand and you can't do anything to hinder the families going about their daily lives....
3 or 4 on a bike is perfectly acceptable to most Thais, it's called bike sharing as is 10 people in the back tray of a pick-up

jumping red lights because you just can't sit & wait

crossing rail tracks when the barriers are down because the train isn't in sight yet

going the wrong way up the wrong side of the road to save waiting time at a junction

it all comes down to mentality... and you ain't never going to change that with all the laws in the land !!!

T.I.T

Press conferences, photo opportunities & the ridiculous re-enactments should all be banned....

This story just gets sadder and sadder.

Now the poor boy's father has to beg for assistance for medical equipment!

Two innocents have already lost their lives. Enough already!

What's really sad is the hospital where the child is cannot provide basic medical services!

Killing has been around since Cain and Abel.. supposedly...

religion, politics, jealousy you name it someones been killed in the name of it..

when you get down to the truth of it mankind is just a murderous breed & will keep doing so in the name of something that suits the moment !

Sounds like the usual "daisy chain" effect, tailgating each other unable to see what's going on up-front or do anything about it if it happens!
