Wang Ping or Wang King?

I went into a Chinese restaurant once to pick-up a "take-away"

I asked the man behind the counter

"are you Wan King the chinese waiter"?

 he said no

I'm <deleted>- King the chef... I didn't hang around long !

It isn't a problem in itself per-say for an adult society or audience, but when I see young girls aged about 8 years old doing the same dance I do begin to wonder if it's sending out the right message....

The biggest offence here is the using of bad words. Murder? Meh. Bad words? You've shamed someone! 

 

Taxi drivers are a public service. They should have change. She didn't hand over 1000 baht, It was 100. At the very least the driver should have 40 baht change. It's just the usual zero planning and zero care again. Always the customer's fault 'cos apparently customers should more professional in Thailand. 

It's the usual taxi response to this situation, 100 baht note for a 60 baht ride... hoping for a "okay keep the change reply" !!

Most Thais believe in something called "Athan Benjaphaet" that equates to monumental or life changing things happening to people when they are 25.

I don't think it's so much to do with regards to their ages but more to do with the time of the accident and what they'd been up to before 4am !!

wHAT'S hAPPENED TO THE supposedly NEW Rules Regarding These " Death Traps " ??

They're still using Thai drivers... that's what's happening

same drivers, same rules, same mentality, same carnage 

same headlines 

nothings changed, business as usual in the land of road deaths !!

I think he will get it. Thailand will not want lose of face.Simple as that.

They will lose face if they settle, and leave themselves open to a future avalanche of claims... I don't think he'll see a single baht !

I wonder if the authorities will be paying the home a visit to see if they have all the relevant licences to run a guest house, and are reporting all guests staying at the residence to the police as required....

So how will they seal the bottles? Or will they be unsealed so anyone can go in a shop and easily open the bottle and drink from it and put it back.

 

They are talking about the plastic wrap seal on the outside of the actual cap to the bottle.

The cap itself will have the usual safety seal that will indicate if the bottle has been opened or not.

So killing a go-go dancer is more serious than killing a policeman.  

No... but having the money to buy your way out of trouble is !

Capitalism working at it's best, no different really than developed countries.

Although modern countries do use robots/automated machines etc etc Thailand still flogs slave labour to death

same result, the rich get rich the poor get poorer & the divide gets wider!

In my hometown of Nakhon Pathom I see two elderly Thai ladies selling birds every day.

One is at the gates to Phra Pathom Chedi temple, in the centre of town while the other is just out of town a little on the side of a street adjacent to another Wat...

I've passed them almost daily for the last 5 years and they've always been there like part of the furniture.

I was waiting for the officer to ask for 100 other similar mistakes to be taken into consideration... 

as it was such a long tiring but "productive" day.....

The husband has initially been charged with assault causing grievous bodily harm, a charge that may be upgraded to attempted murder in time.

Really... what did he think the outcome might be, I'm sure he wasn't trying to frighten her a little !!

Seafood dinner with a Thai twist... catch your own prawns

could catch on !!!!

Now I understand why every time it pisses with rain my TV, internet etc etc cuts out !

4th world Thailand

A lot of the older generation don't know much about sex & relationships too.

It's not just a young Thai issue.

Why so much fussing about, take the thing out, and then make your case for compensation. I think she is enjoying the attention.

More social media fuss more compensation.. not saying she's wrong.

Thailand you have to push hard for every baht !

Thai Rath online published a long list of complaints from members of the public in a feature article yesterday as the debate over Uber and GrabCar raged.

Here is aother murderer that needs to be taken to court, then killed off quickly, Thailand does not need

people like this continuing to breath air.

Geezer

Why waste valuable court time... he didn't give his wife or gran a hearing!!

treat him like a mad dog.... take him round the back & dig a hole "as my old man used to say!

Hope it doesn't turn into a "Michael Fish" moment !

Meals-on-wheels

Rice planting and harvesting machines have been available for years... they've never replaced the thousands of Thais doing it by hand

If Thais refuse to buy the machines then how can they take over their jobs....

same as construction sites, you might see one machine but an army of manual workers all digging with shovels!

Only in Foreign owned factories such as Honda, Toyota etc where you can see true automation because it's dictated by speed & profit!

Pattaya never lost it's reputation as a town for doing "squats" !!

But of course it doesn't act as a deterrent, proven time after time around the world. It might meet the need for vengeance, might make people feel safer...but it will not serve any useful purpose .

Makes me feel a whole lot better knowing they won't be back on the streets sometime to do it again !!!

If it stops one other person from trying the same thing then it has served a purpose...

plus justice has at last been served !

In jail I hope he has to do a few "casting couch" scenes !!!!
