why "may be charged with manslaughter"? he admitted he did it. leaving a cop or anybody else for dead is deplorable and should be dealt with like any other murder charge.

I think the taxi drivers are going to quickly learn not to stop for a potential fare if a policeman is present.

Interesting but I really can't see this as becoming commonplace in the average Thai home. As the TV is always on, game shows and poorly done rinse and repeat dramas of rich people exhibiting poor behavior take precedence, I can't imagine a TV with speakers blaring something totally incoherent being tolerated for very long by the majority in the room.

In many developed countries, the wealthy and others that can afford to do so, hire Chinese nannies so their children can become fluent in Mandarin. Most of us have grown up speaking English, not because we were schooled in it, but we grew up around it. If Thailand would drop it's elite status and racist way of thinking and allow those native speakers that consider quality of life takes precedence over money, and wish to live in the Kingdom, let them legally live here as nannies if they wish to do so. Money is not everything.

The work permit requirements are a farce and seem to pertain only to Caucasians. I went to restaurant the other night and only the owners spoke Thai, the workers were all from Burma.

Just a thought, something I've considered, but so far not even a concept.

and the sex toys the openly sell on Sukhumvit? Why does one have to see all those sex aids being sold when they walk out of Terminal 21 or Robinsons, or walking towards Na Na or the MRT?

signs of struggle. wounds to the body of that that could have been inflicted by a boxer. wounds to the temple, the nose, the face, nothing stolen. Seems like a murder case to me.

why didn't they confiscate all the properties and belongings and turn them into public schools?

why didn't they just confiscate the properties and all the belongings and turn them into public schools?

I can't think of an easier way to arrest somebody. Knowing the US's stance on terrorism, this makes me wonder.

personally I don't buy the weather study reason for using the airport. There is more than enough technology around to do that. It looked me as a foot in the door kind of thing.

my first thought is living within one's means, the other is what defines quality of life? For me it means riding my bicycle, going to the fresh market, and hanging out with friends. that doesn't cost much at all. To the one that posted living on 120K per month is not enough, I just don't know what to say about that and not get booted off this forum.

How is he going to get rid of the mafia when a majority of the people support corruption if they think they will get some benefit from it? The majority in this case is the police.

I guess since he was so successful in eradicating the gambling dens in Bangkok in just 3 days, he's needing something new to with all that free time.

not sure what they expect considering they promote the women police officers with dance shows in the street. They are portrayed as sex objects, I don't know why they even participate in these degrading displays, and then OMG! there is gender inequality. If someone told me as a police officer to shake it in the streets for the cameras, I'd tell them to F_(# off!

it's not really an education system at all, but more a knowledge system. The goal of the "school" system is to get students to pass a test.

There is really nothing in it that relates to education, which means actually using the knowledge gained.

If there is an interest in something, then that person will do what it takes to learn about that subject, for example why bar girls speak English better than most Thai teachers.

The kids today have a full time job, called school, it doesn't pay anything, all they hear is they are not doing well enough, and when it's all said and done, some rich kid takes their spot at the university because their parents paid for it. Not a lot of incentive, which should be the motivating factor.

does the "3rd sex" include women that look like men? "mangirls

discrimination is alive and well and continuing to divide the people.

I don't think this has anything to do with saving face. This is all about just making some quick cash off the Thai people's money, something that has made at least one very very wealthy.

who in their right mind would leave that kind of money in a car overnight? I also wonder how they knew it was in there.

this reeks of a scam, I don't believe it was random.

I hear it's very dry up there, thought i heard about seeding the clouds to make rain. Looks like nature is taking it's course, good for the rice fields.

"Things have returned to normal now," he said."

"Today we look forward with hope [of making] Thailand grow further," he said.

Things have returned to normal? I guess normal is relative

Hoping Thailand grows further is probably the right thing to do if one is not going to make an attempt. to make it grow further. Grow further which way?

I have an idea; make it easy to legally work here as long as one has the skills to do the job. If someone has the skills and not the piece of paper from some school showing a degree in whatever, then hire them for the skills, not the degree. Pay that that person whatever one would pay any other Thai employee, collect tax, increase the economy, get more English in the schools, diversity, contact with different types of people and all would benefit. As long as they keep the "us and them" mentality, Thailand remains a plowed field and not a diverse forest. If the Thai over 40 or 50 don't have the skills, import them, just like they do soybeans. A no beaner

Those aged from 40 to 50 seen as being slow to learn, may require extra training

MP's, Ministers, Gouvernment staff included?

Slow to learn? I'm over 50 and their isn't much I can't figure out on a computer. today's younger generation are gamers, not techs or marketers like myself. I find this kind of insulting, although considering the source more stupid than anything else. Maybe the Thai people over 40 are slow learners, would be a good idea to get all those in government over 40 out of it because as far as I can tell, they haven't learned a thing. This sounds more like planting a seed for an upcoming excuse as to why this stupid idea/campaign promise isn't going to work, just add more cartoon time to an already low alpha wave coma induced brain.

Future step mother to be. Would I want someone with a brain dysfunction to marry my daughter? nah

I don't care how freakin' rich they are. Talk about priorities.

My understanding that Thaksin was banned from the US. should he arrogantly show up he may be arrested by Homeland Security. that could be his plan, get arrested, by extradited to Thailand and then pardoned by his courts. On the other hand, I do believe Thaksin has a bit of a terrorist background and the power of the NDAA could backfire in his face. Somebody with his background going to the US to rally the people for his political gain could be dangerous, let's hope he goes for it. The US is pretty well known for stabbing "friends" and "businesses acquaintances" in the back.

I think that's Teach and Chang

Tos and Tong - Chalit said he will "investigate further."

He probably meant "Cheech and Chong"
