Sanit said that he had set up a committee to get to the truth of the matter but it was his opinion that the injuries of the dead man were superficial and did not result in his death. If it can be shown that he died from heart failure then police would be in the clear, he said.

News flash... news just in from the coroner's office, autopsy proves heart failure... BiB nothing to worry about here!

Just another daily dose of Thai road etiquette !!!

P.S. Roads don't usually kill you, idiots on them frequently do....

Just another fallen angel !!

Perhaps time to move away from small rice planting holding to larger scale operations with more mechanisation. That is where the treat comes form and it is a one way system. The old ways are fading and if you do not adopt the new. You will go the same way and fail

The problem is much of the rice is grown by families on small family plots.

If you go to large scale operations ie one farmer one tractor 10 Thai families go out of business with no other options

catch 22 due to generations of "lack-of-fore-thought"

Due to lack of education Thai farmers are caught & stuck in the past.

You are of course presuming the young child has a father!!

Mother doesn't understand Thainess. It was only a farang. 

She will probably be even more upset when his 5 year jail term will be cut in half again for good behaviour & making merit!
He'll probably be out in 3 years or less.

A "joint" operation was mounted ... to bust a ganja party... made me laugh!

If he ever goes into action I hope he was listening to the lesson about how to keep your head down!!!

It was obviously a breached birth which they must have known before actual birth.  In most cases the doc would perform a cesarean which would cut the risks.

 

 

Which leads me to presume that the duty doctor at the first hospital was rather less than a doctor or at least not fully competent at delivering babies & was out-of-his-depth during the delivery.

If the doc couldn't turn the baby then they should have opted for a C-section to lesson the risks to mother or baby.

If the doc managed to decapitate the baby by means of pulling then god knows what damage could have happened to the baby prior to death or to mother as a result!!

Why on earth didn't they seek help from a qualified doctor or hospital!!!

No wonder the doctor has gone on leave.... permanently I hope!!!!

So it taking about an hour at Phuket. Compare the equivalent at Chiangi, Singapore I have cleared immigration many times on average in 3 minutes with a smile and free mouth freshening lozenge.  Why the difference, same process?

Singapore is about 50 years ahead of Thailand.. 

or should I say Thailand is behind Singapore by about 50 years!!!

or maybe Singapore treat tourists as human beings who are travelling, and not treated as nuisance farangs!!!

One day Thailand will actually wake up to the fact that it's now within ASEAN & change it's policies accordingly.

Can we draw the conclusion that the medicine wasn't effective? Psy hospital staff did a poor job evaluating the danger she posed to society? Will this case get the proper third party review necessary to deem what went wrong and how to minimize future errors?

In answer to your reply:

You can draw any conclusion you like... the post states only that medication was found at the home..
it doesn't mean the medication failed
maybe the in-correct dose was taken
maybe she failed to take the medicine!!

Stop guessing!!

Are things that bad in Issan, when you have to dig up dead dogs

for food,

regards worgeordie

If you can eat anything that crawls across the ground or up a tree such as bugs, locusts, larvae and the like then I guess you can eat pretty much anything.. included dead rabid dogs!

Each to their own...

OK quick question to anyone in the know:

In the past I have traveled via van from Nakhon Pathom to Victory Monument, the van stops/parks in an off-road parking area next to Century Plaza directly below Victory Monument BTS station.

I have then used BTS to travel to my destination.

On my return to the van station next to Century I have bought my return ticket at the ticket booths & got my return ride.

My question is: does this move only apply to those vans which used to congregate around Victory Monument round-about or will this van station be relocated as well?

 

Do the crime in Thailand expect to do the time in Thailand !!

enough said.

Only if someone is actually listening!!

I have a friend with a daughter studying to be a teacher in Physical Education at University.

Now she is aged 22, she doesn't do a full day at any time, each day consists of only one or two 2 hour lessons if she's un-lucky!

Some of those are theoretical & some are learning the rules of the sport involved...

Most days she only attends for a half day with virtually no homework or free study periods required.

Like most students the work is shared/copied by the students via internet etc

The teacher reading classwork or homework must spot the same exact pages of work including the same mistakes!

She admitted to me earlier this year that a week before exam time the teacher left the questions in his desk draw & told the students he had to go do something & would be gone 15 minutes!!

Soon she will have her certificate in hand & will be teaching the next generation... god help Thailand in the real world!!

Banglamung police received shocking reports that a Spa, located on Soi Chalermprakiet, was really offering sexual services.

Shock, horror... I'm stunned that a "spa" would offer anything other than beauty treatments!!!

One down one million to go!!

What an over reaction! The dog was just licking off the bacteria growing from the unrefrigerated eggs..all the other items have wrappers, just like skin acting as a barrier...

 

thank god no one saw the soi dogs in the back pissing on the unattended food crates waiting in the sun as the delivery man takes a leak. I wonder if he washed his hands before handling the food crates again?

 

get real guys...much worse things are happening to your food items that you don't see....

 

one should much more concern about proper cleaning and disinfectant procedures than whose licking a plate. Hot water is rarely used here in restaurants noodle shops and unfortunately at home. How many homes here have dishwashers or kitchen sink hot water? Those are the questions one should be asking....

 

 

No one is saying everything's perfect,but if we illuminate what we can we reduce any chances of infections/contaminations.
as for packaging being a protection to the food inside your correct, but how many people wear gloves when opening a contaminated package & remove the food with tongs before eating?

So who have they just rounded up?
Usually the scapegoats are found after the crime, not before it's committed.

They really are on top of their game !!

info like this should never ever be covered up, if there is a possible threat then it should always be made public no matter what, the public are a very necessary tool in combating such attacks, if anything they should be telling the public what to look for and to stay vigilant and report anything suspicious to the authorities immediately

In most countries this would be the correct response to a threat.. but we're talking about Thailand here !!

They couldn't have sent a real ambulance to the scene rather than have the poor woman bounce around in the back of a pickup truck??

In Thailand a pick-up truck is a real ambulance...

Do they have "inactive posts" for monks ?

I actually witnessed a similar event recently.
At a crossing point the barriers were down with lights flashing, and the train was visible approaching in the distance, the usual mass of motorbikes & cars lined up on either side.

A young girl on her motorcycle managed to squeeze herself around the end of the barrier (actually going off-road into the brush) to get across the railway line.. unfortunately she crossed the rails at an angle and her front wheel became stuck in a gap in the lines.
She tried un-successfully to lift the bike up via the handlebars, luckily a quick thinking Thai man got off his bike & ran to her assistance, managing to get hold of her front wheel to pull it fee & drag her bike away from the rails, just in time to allow the train to pass by at some speed.

At this point the railway guard emerged from his hut & was screamed at by the girl for not making the train stop.

Not an isolated event I'm sad to say, many many times I've witnessed people skirting the lowered barriers to get across before the train passes by, I just don't understand the mentality to duck under or get around a barrier that's down for your safety as a train is approaching!!!

Usual Thai mentality, build, build, build with no infrastructure to keep up...
90% of profit goes into the arse pocket with 10% into the locality.
Should be the other way around!
