How on earth could you reach such an inane conclusion - it defies logic.
Isn't the alternative to fix the judiciary?
How could sending people from one side of politics either to jail or into exile whilst those on the other side continue to be as corrupt and anti democratic as they please without consequence.
It does not get worse than it is right now.
A Prime Minister was once removed from office for appearing on a cooking show whilst a convicted international drug dealer currently occupies a lead role in the current government.Baffling, truly baffling.
Good luck i just work with what I have. Unless you see the fix of the judiciary any time soon. So right now the best is that some of the corrupt crooks get caught. Or do you prefer for them all to be set free so its FAIR.
They committed a crime and got caught so they should be punished not let off because the other side gets let off.
I agree with fixing the judiciary but in the meantime some jailtime for some of the crooks is better then nothing.

Anyone who believes the Thai courts are either fair or impartial, especially in relation to political matters, is an utter fool.
They are not but the alternative is let them all go free. I prefer that some are at least punished. If they all get off it would only get worse.

In my home town in the UK more people are now busted for drug-driving than drunk driving. The limits for drug-driving are set very low indeed.Then ban alcohol too i mean people drink and drive.
Just fear mongering besides they can check for cannabis and they can check for alcohol when people drive. So just do that the majority of ppl wont do drugs and drive. Just like the majority dont drink and drive. Those who do should be punished harsh. Those who dont should be allowed to do as they want as long as they dont bother others.
I saw a lot of weed for sale in Koh lipe. Seems they like it there lots of tourists.

The price is a lil bit lower then that but not much, they are indeed expensive. But paperwhite really reads much better then normal tablets.

The guy is as bad as the current MOB. But he is convicted so send to him to jail. Its unfair for normal people that these government crooks escape justice all the time. Now i rather see all the other corrupt government officials in jail too.
But sending him to jail is at least one, if Thailand always excuses corruption then it will never change. So he needs to do his time. Hopefully more will follow. But letting him go would send a wrong signal.

I got a Boox e reader (tablet but paperwhite). Its a4 and great for kindle. I hated kindle as it was too small. I just read too fast. So this Boox (Chinese brand) e ink tablet is perfect for me.

Let them drink whatever they want as long as they dont bother people or endanger people. Same goes for all other drug use. As long as people are responsible i really dont care what they use.

Law enforcement is indeed a joke. I just went to police station to report my car stolen. In my name, purchased before marriage, but police came to the conclusion that wife sold car and under Thai law I cannot have her arrested. So I asked if I burn down the house then I cannot be arrested because husband wife right.
Get a lawyer, that might work. Dont expect the poice jump into a marital dispute like that. But even if you get a lawyer it will be hard and costly.

Seems a bit crazy, at age 4. I am all for giving kids freedoms like this. But not at that age. I am quite liberal in general but this seems a bit over the top.

Oki Doki! That´s really nice to hear. However, I could tell you some horrible stories. ????
It´s a lot of bad apples and rotten peaches there as well. That´s like one of the reasons I left my home country. The second is that I just could. ????
And for myself, I am here just for the temples. Just ask my wife.You got idiots everywhere, leaving your country does not really help as unfortunately idiots travel too. Lot of selfish bad people.

Should be mandatory jail time for anyone under the influence of drugs / alcohol who kill people with their car / motorbike.
No excusses. the fact that this was a Doctor and Police captain probably made the sentence so lenient.

Id say the morale is not resist arrest and make sure your visa is in order.

Yeah, I know. It´s real drag. However, I do not blame a whole population, just pointing out the bad ones that comes to Thailand as it is a Thailand forum. That´s the difference with you and me Robbie
(I am Dutch) I was joking around. I had Swedish Neighbors, nice people can't say a bad word about them.

He gets the treatment he got, and the punishment he will get, because of his own stupidity.
Ooh, Richie, man! I did get up late today. Sorry. I actually hate all foreigner that come to Thailand and behaves like scum. I have nothing against people that can behave themselves, act responsible and respect the country and the people they stay around. So, this guy is a real piece to hate for a week or so. After that it´s bye, bye to wife and house for him. What I have said, as you are hung on that I am a Brit hater, is that they are overrepresented when it comes to making problems and behave like dorks in Thailand. The ones that act like I described above, I have no problem at all with.
Yes, that´s true. Thanks! Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing either. ????
No probs, Apology accepted. Now, let´s be friends again. I am pretty sure you fall into the good guys bracket, Richard.
Your Swedish.. dammm talk about bad. Your almost as bad the Dutch.

err, in the picture? 8 coppers dragging him out his house by the scruff of the neck not enough for you???
Maybe if he did not resist and do stupid things. I mean the guy deserved what he was getting. If you resist and act like an idiot you will be delt with with more violence then when you behave.
Always be good with police and you wont have problems.

Ban alcohol? Go back to Holland where you can smoke as much as you like and let me enjoy a few glasses of wine at night
Let people who want cannabis also enjoy it its usually those that drink alcohol that want to ban cannabis. So if we look at it scientifically what is the least bad of the two its cannabis. So if something needs to be banned for health reasons alcohol is the way to go.
Of course i rather not ban anything but i get tired of those people who drink alcohol and seem to think canabis is some kind of evil drug.

Good luck with that too.
If it's not alcohol and not cannabis it'll be something else.
Best solution - ban nothing lol.
Oh, I was just joking but its usually the alcies that want to ban cannabis. Because they think its worse. But science has shown that cannabis is much better. So if someone argues that we should ban it again as it causes trouble. Then it makes more sense to bann alcohol. The more dangerous of the two.
I am of course much more in favor of not banning anything. I am quite happy that i now legally can use it. Far better as before better quality too.- 1

No need to compare.
Alcohol has its own set of issues, but they are referring to cannabis here.
It seems there are societal problems and abuse of cannabis since it has been sort of legalized.
Time to put the cannabis genie back in its box.
Only put it back if we ban alcohol too. Lets base it on science and the damage the substances do. Worldwide everyone has already shown that cannabis is less damaging then alcohol. So it makes more sense to ban alcohol and let cannabis go on.

Nice all those Thaibashing posts. Has anyone ever thought that the IPTV site / server might be the problem. If they dont have a fast enough server or enough bandwith then this explains why when its a footy match things go slower.
Everyone here automatically assumes that its a Thai ISP problem not even thinking about the other reasons. I operate a webserver and i can tell you different servers perform differently speed wise.
All those conspiracy theories are fine but no proof and all aimed at the internet none of it aimed at the ISP..
As for why Netflix and others still work fast is because they got a better server network. That is why the big companies still are fast. Dropboxy has servers everywhere as Netflix.
Actually the remark from one guy saying that when in the weekend he wanted to watch soccer it got slower points to that. I mean many people logging on a important event means slower service unless the servers are fast enough.

Not to mention if you go for girls that young you should check id card. I mean to say the guys were mistaken is foolish. Anyone can see how young someone is and to mix up 14-15 and 18-20 is possible but its up to the guy to confirm. Send to trial.

... I don’t care.. IF a dog needs to be well trained to have its natural aggression and instinct 'trained out of it’ then there is something very wrong already....
Still nots the dogs fault, does not change the problem. I think these dogs should not be kept by most people. I am pretty sure experienced responsible owners with a lot of knowledge could. But I doubt its a good idea for the average person.
Its easier to control an agree poodle then an angry pitbull. I love dogs, dont think i would ever want one of those aggressive breeds. Actually after having had a dog i dont want one at all anymore. But that is not related to aggression but freedom.

The guy is a total tool.
I mean its normal that you have to pay fee for documents and the process. The question is about price of the process that is debateable. But does not mean he is property. Also its world wide that you have to have an other nationality. You cant just have no nationality. How do I know that at some point the Dutch government wanted to revoke the nationality of immigrants that only had a Dutch nationality and it was not possible because of international laws. So Its not an US thing its a common sense thing. The guys just and crazy guy interpreting things how he wants to see it.

Thaksin’s Homecoming Bid May Fall Through Without Help From Kingmaker
in Thailand News
Posted · Edited by robblok
To compare Thanathorn with Thaksin is illogical. (comparing a crook with a good guy like Thanathorn) Shows that you have no clue you just want to see Thaksin come back even though we known he is a corrupt crook and its been proven. I am ok with him going in jail as i said at least some are punished. I prefer that over none.
Until of course they change the judiciary like you said. But seems you want all the corrupt crooks to go free just so Thaksin can be free.
Now instead of being obstinate, what do you suggest to do in the time that the judiciary gets fixed let them all go free even though they are proven corrupt ?
Tell me your solution as its easy to shoot at other peoples solutions of a difficult topic.
