A victim of the lifeguard dispute, or were they still on duty when she disappeared on Saturday?

May not have mattered. Chinese are Chinese and will not listen or take advice from anyone. Same as Thais really.

and a high speed railway. This is just the result of cost cutting. Cost cutting so money flows into pockets not construction.

I'm curious as to how they've been supporting themselves.

Selling peanuts. Working for someone big with big brown envelopes. They've probably already been replaced. They cleaned out the peanut sellers in my area (mainly Pakistanis) but their back.

Contract? Thailand?

Other way around I think.

Every week there's more lines/cables going up where I am. Take a good 10 minutes or or so to try and count them. Completely out of control. The only way this mess is going underground is to start again.

Said 5yrs ago it'll snow in Thailand within 10 yrs. 5yrs to go.

Guess I'll be first to say it.So 5 years for Red Bulls blue notice to be issued @ 5 weeks for YLs blue notice seems both unbiased and reasonable. So I guess I can infer from that negligence of duty carries more weight than killing a cop.

I think you are being very harsh. It took them 5yrs to get the translation correct. Have you forgotten. And, (yes you can start a sentence with and) are you suggesting the corrupt junta is protecting the corrupt elite whilst going after the corrupt Shinawatra .... oh never mind

Unfortunately this is an everyday occurrence all over Thailand. Complete fkwit. Post on Line not Fkbook.

Just to slightly correct you it means “ down the toilet”. In England the toilet bowl is sometimes referred to as a “pan”.

Thank you but i get it. Down the dunny where I'm from. Gist of my post was the 28 mil may not have been totally wasted on this project as I'm sure quite a bit of it ended up in pockets hence the Merc pic.

It's illegal and they have absolutely no right to obstruct other road users. A considerable number of motor bike readers here seem to think that the traffic laws don't apply to them - ignore traffic signals, red lights, ride the wrong way up roads, don't bother with crash helmets, carry several children and pets on their bike, allow underage kids to ride, etc etc.

 

Up to them. But they can't complain if they get splattered and certainly won't get any sympathy.

Wow. Are you like really old and grumpy. Your post is completely  except for your first sentence. As for your first sentence I'd have to say grow up. If this run was controlled by police that's exactly what they'd do. Didn't take long and nobody was really inconvenienced. As for the rest of your off topic post could you please state the video time marks where you see these guys without helmets, going the wrong way up roads, carrying several children etc.

They said it was 28 million baht down the pan

I guess this means down the drain. Maybe not all 28 million has been wasted.

Ok looked it up. Down the pan is actually a Cockney expression for down the drain.

Probably the safest that intersections been for a long time. I've been on big bike rides with Thais. They do the same thing.

I was wondering how he knows where she is, but as he quite possibly knew the whole escape plan and route before it happened, his statement is probably correct.

I've said from the very beginning of this that the military 'escorted' her out of the country. "Possibly knew" or orchestrated the whole thing? As for how he knows where she is? Thaksin rang him.

Fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra is now in Dubai, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha disclosed on Thursday.

Thank you glorious leader for disclosing this. Now Thai people know what they already knew. What a f........k..........n idiot this guy is.

The junta is seen by some political observers as now having the advantage. With Yingluck’s guilt declared, military leaders can claim legitimacy and prolong their stay in office. And without her presence in the country, it is easy for the junta to attack her without fearing resistance from her supporters.

 

If nothing changes, the junta can take a strong stand in the election under its “roadmap to democracy” and control the situation better than before, while being able to determine the fate at the polls.

They're not going anywhere. Only a popular uprising, (which against a junta who does not want to lose their power would not be pretty) will get rid of these guys. They (and the non-elected elites) have a strangle hold on power here and will continue to have said power for decades to come.

“I do not know. Do not ask me,”

The man stands alone on this one. What a git. All of Thailand knows except him? Let me guess. It's a country that stars with the letter U and has three words in its name. Within this country is a city state that starts with the letter D. Also happens to be where her brother is. Boy this guy really is something else.
