We think your brother's life is worth $60,000. Now go away and say good things about Thailand.

Utterly disgraceful. A new low.

Welcome "Appun."

Didnt THAI get a good deal(scammed) in the 1990's with the French for Airbus A340's which had 4 engines? A disasterous plane that flopped with very few orders.

THAI bought many or most of them ..LOL

They bought 10 of them. The A340 was launched in 1993, but was followed in 1995 by the B777 which had similar range and payload but with only two engines, thus practically killing sales of the A340, of which only 378 were manufactured. Whereas more than 1,500 777s  have been delivered thus far.

No wonder they are losing so much money with only 97 passengers on a 747. Admittedly there could have been more on the outbound flight, but I doubt if it was the 400+ a 747 can hold, as it's too much of an imbalance. That said, it was a change of equipment from the usual 777.

His name should be Pradit Job-mai-dee.

He posted at facebook.com/aswinkwanmuang/ that he would take action on the big construction projects that blocked the city's water drainage.

This "action" will no doubt involve the receipt of brown envelopes.

It was the soldiers that went after women not the other way round, he said defending his womenfolk.

So why did (do) so many women go to live there?

If it takes a "top" lawyer to point this out it doesn't say much for the others.

 I agree, trying to get decent bread and butter here is a nightmare.

She knows what "palacetamon" (paracetamol) is and can advise on the use of band aids?

She must sell a lot to have 6 million baht to give away. Lol.

The impossible they can do at once; miracles take a little longer.

That must be a change in strategy then!

Given the law has been in place for years and years, and crackdowns here come and go, I see the cops raking in a load of extra cash for a week or so, then the public outcry will see the crackdown withdrawn. TIT after all.

It's the perfect strategy though; if everyone wore a helmet then there would be no money for the BIB. They don't want people to abide by the law as it affects their income. Hence the occasional crackdown and not permanent enforcement. Kaa-ching! ????????????

As the Tourist Police he should warn foreigners of paak wan Thais as well.

Wow,  I am curious for some of you long time expats here. Was this kind of violence been going on here 10-20 years ago?

 

 

 

I don't recall reading about it. But there was no social media back then. I don't think it was in all honesty, certainly not as often as it seems to happen now anyway.

Amen.  This is not the end they dreamed of.  Go with God.

This god thing doesn't seem to be very nice by allowing them to be shot and bludgeoned to death just so they can go with him. I'm sure they would rather have left it a little longer. 

For once, the requests for money for the sick buffalo might be true.
