No, that are only for the a55h0les. The ones who respect Thailand and it´s people do not have to worry. Sue, you are right. Original Song Kran tradition is lost. However, this is the tradition of today. Everything evolves. The Thai guy ask for forgiveness and also bought him a new cup of coffee. Should have been fine with that.

Yes and the foreign man was calling  them fucz wits which got the crowd going. I'm ok with it all but then his Thai wife carried on like a pork chop.

Honestly a storm in a coffee cup but could have ended badly.

"Children" about sums it up.

Oh, thanks for that most informative update.

You could buy my Nissan four door for around 220000.

2009 Nivara 2.5 ltr turbo excellent condition 187000 km on the clock.

The horn doesn't work so less chance of getting shot.

Bargain!

I would suggest entering on your o visa, purchase a re-entry permit and then an extension if needed.

But then again that's just me.

I am wondering why there are so many cabinet shuffles in THailand...Is nobody able to do the job normally?? 

A purely retorical question I'm sure. 5555

The whole article was removed from BP so I guess they've already silenced it. Anutin would have seen to that.

Typical of the nonsense rampant in this wonderful country.

I would like to be afforded the same treatment if I was in the same situation. Not that I would be.

No I guess not.

Counts!

Have you only a half smart phone?

Or, a smart arse phone?

Probably needs a tune up, throw the thing on the floor a couple of times and see if that sorts it out.

Sheesh 

Thailand.

Forget it, the weak gutted bunch will "Abstain" every time.

Stupid suggestion IMHO.

Tell em nothing and deny everything.

Seems to work for Thai's.

The mouthpiece has work to do and messages to relay.

Flaming joke of a party leader and  spokesperson for the "soft power" of Songkran.

Struth 

Not to worry Thailand is working on being number one.

Seems a bit archaic, haven't seen a TM47 form in five or more years in Korat.

Must be a lot of rif-raf up that way.555

"Can someone please educate the writer of this article in basic math?"

No one's maths needs to be checked, but someone needs to educate you about basic English comprehension, all the report said about Thailand was, "...in the last two years, there has been a change", that is 100% accurate.

Stop skipping your medication.

And? 

One less to avoid.

This guy in BKK is ready(just a little early).  Now he has time to upgrade his equipment.  Apparently he thought the water gun fights would last for 3 weeks and not 3 days.  The article says he is a visitor from China. 

Struth I really do dislike the Chinese.

I don't know if I'd feel safe aboard a joint China-Thailand space vehicle, but the food aboard should be pretty awesome! 

WHAT !!

Why would eat <deleted> when there is better food as in MREs

Never mind, if someone is talking up Thailand in space expect a counter story next week.

                 I am actually surprised there are people like that here, I didn't think people of that nature were even attracted to places like Thailand, I'm sure they didn't exist here years ago and I personally have never knowingly met anybody of that nature  in real life,   Where do they live?  where do they socialise, do they actually have any real friends?  How do their ex bargirl wives even cope with them?  

                My guess is they can normally be found safely tucked away in their gated communities, splitting their time between shopping in "Tops"  and the golf course or chairing meetings of their residents association . Then, in the evenings they retire to their "office" with their glass of red wine  and scour websites like this looking for anything that they can vent their pent up frustrations on from behind the safety of their keyboards

                 One such person on this thread has actually posted his own proposals for stricter immigration rules.!  predictably consisting of" deportation and a ban"  starting off  for a mere 7 days overstay and gravitating to a " life time ban"  sad  but true

                  Do these sanctimonious geriatrics, encouraging others to become police informants, understand that even cutting their own manicured lawns or trimming the roses could theoretically land them in the IDC as they themselves become a deportation statistic.  The Thai immigration authorities will not consider them any differently from a Russian mafioso or a German overstayer despite their own perceived social status as quality expats 

                 What goes around tends to come around, people should be careful what they wish for

As one of your so called geriatric brigade I hope you have a wonderful life.

Nah, really, go get a black dog fair up ya.

Prick

Unbelievable Thailand!

We want to to have a water borehole drilled at the front of our house. Problem is that access is quite limited. Maybe a pickup could fit but not a 6 wheel truck, so trying to find alternatives in my area. Doesn't look that promising.   

Of if give a drilling crew a job they will find a way.
