A new law enforcement scheme in Thailand has failed to work? Shock! Horror!

i bet he walks; cops protecting their own

Yes. And yet when one of their own gets run over by a rich kid in a Ferrari it's the other way around. And they wonder why they have a reputation.

Reporters were not allowed to be present.

 

After the interrogation she managed to slip out the back of the station and escape at speed in a minivan.

Hmm, I wonder how much she was paid. Cynical, I know, but Thailand can do that to you.

Another needless death. The first thing on the mind of the police now however is getting their 500 baht back.

That's it, blame the commuters for the overcrowding. It's not Airport Link's problem for having trains out of service awaiting spare parts. It's the customers' fault for not getting up early enough! Amazing Thailand indeed. Unbelievable.

As good as his/her intentions may be, 'Rooster' is barking (crowing?) up the wrong tree. The tabloid press will always be the same and nothing that he/she says is going to change that. If the police hadn't blown this out of all proportion because they were sniveling at not getting their brown envelope on time then this would never have been an issue. Thailand's completely and utterly inept police farce is to blame for this, not the tabloids - they found a 'story' and ran with it. The police probably only think that they are gaining face within Thailand as they are probably too dim to realise these things go worldwide in seconds. We know what the Western gutter press are like and as unfortunate as it may be they are here to stay. If Thailand doesn't want coverage then it shouldn't feed it to them. 

The rules will never be enforced as that would be "mai sanook". 

No, drunk driving is not a major cause of road accidents. It's the irresponsible, stupid, selfish, numskulls who drink and drive that are a major cause of road accidents.

I bough my condo 18 years ago for 2m baht. The unit next door which is the same size just sold for 4.5m. I’m happy I bought one. I’d rather fill my pockets than someone else’s by paying rent. That said, it’s probably only sensible if here long term though. 

That is hilarious. I bet he felt a right tit (pun intended).

Words fail me.

ARL apologised but said there were no plans to buy additional trains soon. It said replacement parts were on order for the trains currently out of service.

In an ARL management meeting:

- "Hey, I've got a good idea. Let's wait until the trains break down before we order new parts. That'll save us some money."

- "What about the passengers?"

- "Who?"

This service has been a complete shambles since day one.

How do Thais still get away with this?    How can you buy a property that you can't have in your name, and not know you are being screwed?

 

Unfortunately, many people still rely upon trust. Something that is disappearing rapidly these days, I'm afraid.

The message next to the swinging body of the "40 year old man" said in English: "Are you happy now? You and your family have stolen everything from me including my daughter and my life. Now you have all exactly as you wanted."

Unfortunately, she probably is happy. 

Brace yourself, Rodney. Brace yourself.

Air Chief Marshall Jom Rungsawang has moved to allay fears that a Chinese space station will not fall on people in Thailand.

If he's allaying fears it will not fall on Thailand, then that means that it will, as it's a double negative.
