"defrocking"......... can you buy a "defrocking kit"

Seems like he's been up to a bit of "defrocking" himself for a while!
Not enough seniority to get a free pass though..

how stupid can they get, people have died but they will not make the people that own the buildings repair or fix them so that it cannot happen to anyone else, seems once again profits are put before peoples lives. Instead they tell people to take short showers, shows just how pathetic the mind set is here, dont fix the problem blame the guests.

What you have to do is realise this is Thailand:
A tourists life is cheap & replaceable...
repairs/replacements cost hard cash!
Thailand wins every time

There's a 15 years old that has thrown his life away " defending the honor "

of a woman, not long from now she will forget all about him, but he never will

for many years to come.....

Reminds me of something:

She offered her honour
he honoured her offer

all night long he was honour & offer.....

The owner is french, I know him. He doesn't care about licenses or anything like that.

I bet he's having a re-think now though !!!

Agreed she is willing to do her thing... but I'd rather do it & keep my face out of the social media.. sometimes it brings more than you wished for..

Now I fully understand why some of the young ones blessed with half a brain cell venture south for fortune..

instead of staying at home & becoming one of the brain dead.

Obviously the BIB aren't to blame here.. the train must have been 20 seconds early or they would have crossed safely (according to the schedule) no need to look when crossing ??

I have a Thai female friend who has just quit her job because of a male colleagues behaviour!
She's worked in the customer support office of a well known large Japanese car dealership, it begins with the letter "H"

She's been there for 6 years with a good record, he was moved here from another area because of a similar occurrence).

He first established himself as the "man" in the office by using bully-boy tactics, he then started to approach her in a sexual manner

taking every opportunity to be near her, leaning over her at the desk so as to accidentally touch her etc etc, then it was asking her out for a date, followed by she should have a man like him by her side.
He got her Line id from somewhere & barraged her with mail, some of which was very obscene regarding what he would like to do.

I said to her to take her phone & show the boss at the dealership as it was hard evidence & proof of harassment, but she refused to do it, saying as a younger girl it wasn't the right thing to do... not the "Thai" way of things..

She slowly became a wreck, waking each day dreading the day ahead, eventually she left, now out of work & in financial difficulties!

He continued his barrage of torments by mailing her asking why she left & that he could take care of her!!

One evening we were out with her family & she just broke down crying, I asked her what was the problem, she showed us the latest messages on her phone, he was sending her threatening mail saying he would stalk her until she submitted to his wishes.. no need to elaborate here what they were but I'm sure you can guess!

I have a friend in the police who I asked what could we do, he agreed not to make a huge issue about it but said he would have a quiet chat with the man. 

We hatched a plan where she asked to meet him at a convenient place outside for a chat, as he arrived & sat down we both joined him at the table, my officer friend in uniform & myself as a witness.
They had a conversation where it was made very clear that the officer was speaking & he had to be quiet and listen.
The officer said that he would make sure it stopped immediately or it would go to court using the messages as evidence of harassment!

Thankfully it has ended in as much as he has stopped the messaging & has actually relocated again..

Unfortunately we are still trying to coax my friend back to normality as she is still stressed about the whole issue.

It makes me wonder how many others are treated like this in the workplace & don't have the support infrastructure to make a complaint, or indeed bosses that actually give a s**t !!

As they say: If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen!!

Out of the frying pan into the fire is another that comes to mind....

just another day in  paradise

She's been through quite an ordeal, I hope the scars on the inside heal as well as the ones on the outside..

It appears that this country and it's inhabitants are becoming increasingly violent. I'm sure it's not my imagination. 

I tend to disagree with your observation:
I believe the Thais males/females have always been violent, observations have taught me that when they snap it's like lighting the blue touch paper, sit back and watch them go up like a rocket.
The only difference now is that with mobile phones & social media it's being captured & posted where as before it was going undetected!

15 not old enough to ride a motorbike... takes all the fun out of growing up..

she's probably on her way to pick-up her earnings as a "pimp" & taking her siblings along to show them the ropes !!

There's no point asking local people to brainstorm an idea when they don't have a brain cell between them all, the only thing they know is how to rip-off farangs for a quick profit!
Easy solution... turn Samui into one huge sh*thole commercially...

This is obviously a "free standing" tower crane. It would have been interesting to have inspected it prior to anyone touching it. A couple of things in the photo look strange. RIP to the unfortunate workers. Condolences to their families.

Everything on a Thai building site looks strange !!!!!!

Usual story, when a girl comes of age & realises she's "sitting" on her fortune, why work all day for 300 baht when you can make 2000+ baht laying on your back for one hour!!!

Maybe one of those 1% richest people could make a contribution to the Pattaya pier fund to get the ferry operating?
They could spread the Pattaya lifestyle across the Andaman bay & screw up Hua Hin for ever!!

Maybe she should be called "Zombie" instead of Zomy!!!
Pay a fine or shave your head & go to the Wat seems to be the latest options..
I wonder which one she'll opt for?

Ha ha. Never thought to check the piers state before announcing the venture

I'm sure his parents are so proud of their son who grew up to be such an honourable person!!
If I was the head monk I'd welcome him in with open arms, send his parents home with a smile on their faces, let him post the ceremonial pic's on all his favourite social sites....
then behind closed doors make the little s**t  kowtow  down to me & kiss my arse!!

It's the year 2016 nearly 2017... God help Thailand if this is the best idea they can come up with.... but I fear if this proves to be successful it will be rolled out nationwide....

Anyone surprised?

Nope

Can anyone tell me, has the off-road minivan station next to Century building (below Victory Monument BTS) been relocated or is it still allowed to operate from that location?
I used to use this service to & from Nakhon Pathom & need to know if it's still running.
