Two things to take from this: 1. Don't make enemies (especially here). 2. Guns here are readily available on the internet.

Who knows if: 1. She really intended to suicide afterwards, or 2. If the prior abuse (now long ended) was so bad to justify this long-after-the-event revenge/pay-back, or 3. If the guy had really dared her to come over and bring it on ... ... just sounds like they could be a bunch of hastily made-up excuses to garner pity or absolve responsibility. Looks like a planned murder - and this country still has the death penalty. A sad case. RIP to the victim.

Thirty witness statements ... and the cause is still in doubt. They're asking the wrong questions, or the wrong people.

Oh dear ... so much contemplation, worry and mulling over such a simple thing. Just do it, and put your energy into something else.

1. The guy knowingly operated the business when he didn't have the necessary approvals. 2. Causing deaths and serious injury whilst carrying out an illegal activity should attract the maximum penalty.

I wish they would publish where these jobs are ... I'm sick of hearing "I can't find work" - but as a foreigner - ignorant as to how things work here - I don't know what suggestions to make.

Oh dear! Frankly, I find it odd that there is a actually a market for new movies ... there is already so much available on the web (yes, I've sometimes accidently stumbled accross it), I can't believe there's money to be made producing new stuff.

1. Wow, a bit of background checking and investigative journalism here! - well done. 2. Wouldn't need soundproffing at all for it's approved restaurant purpose. Seems like the well-trodden pathway here is: get approval for A, and then just do B.

I post this in the Pattaya forum as I need to know where to go, as well as what to buy. I want to give someone a basic, workable (prefer new) phone (while they save up to buy their dream phone). Budget is up to B1,500 (if such a thing exists). 1. Cheapest (new) one I found at Tukcom was B1,700 "apro" brand (described as "from Thai"). Is that any good? (Only reviews I found - Youtube - were in Thai only.) 2. Saw B500 and B900 phones in 7-11 - but my understanding with those was (is this right?): you MUST sign up for an ongoing monthly plan (with True), which is an expense I do not want. What's the deal with those 7-11 phones? 3. I have neither the skills to buy online, nor the knowledge to properly assess second-hand phones. Many thanks for any tips.

1. Will not attempt to flee: haha, famous last words. 2. The compensation: pathetic. 3. Issued a warrant for arrest: wow, he still hadn't been arrested. 4. Admits guilt: his laywers may know best, but I'd be more cautious making admissions over charges that ought to involve a long jail term.

It's not my position to tell others what not to eat (provided it's processed humanely) - unless I was willing to provide a substitute. But the Foundation's folk must keep a large and very visible supply of dogs roaming the sois, to justify their donations, and thereby continue their great visas, attractive stipends, vehicles, maybe even accommodation and other nice conditions and benefits - for all their "volunteers" ... who knows ... as they say: follow the money.

This has come at an awkward time: the much-needed submarines and jets haven't been delivered yet.

Indeed. Or if they were "day-traders", the same person may have been counted a hundred times. Also, transit passengers and airline crew may have been counted as "foreigners entering".

From the linked article: "this venue was illegally built, did not possess a proper license, and was forcefully shut down multiple times for violating the legal opening hours." ... the more we learn about this event, the more appaling it becomes ... the local police seem to be not doing their job?

... memories of the of the 1997 Jomtien hotel fire (where about 100 perished) - lessons have not yet been learned. Plus the article made the point that those exits were not signed or marked.

Good luck to them and good to hear "all police" chipped in with the clean up, not just the underlings. (Years ago I had occassion to visit someone in the lock up on level 1 - it was a vision of hell - and I made a mental note to self to never end up there.)

1. Confusion so often reigns here - the issue has been alive for a long time, and should have been put to the court well before now (ditto re his failure to properly take his oath of office). 2. Is the time-limiting law in the constitution he himself drafted? - he must be kicking himself over such a blunder.

So, Nok Air's "best practice" is to keep passengers locked up - without lights or air - until WHAT happens? - They already knew the portable stairs couldn't be deployed, due to the ground conditions, and - They couldn't be 100% certain there was no leaking jet fuel. What was Nok Air hoping could or might happen during that hour wait ? ... before they broke their own best practice and let their passengers off (who were now complaining they couldn't beathe).

Unlike other jurisdictions, Thailand's scores are possibly pushed up with so many under-age riders here.

An odd story ... and a lot of baht. Anyway, with the RTP now on the case ...

Investors were told: "while getting 18-30% dividend a month." ... it sounds too good to be true?

Indeed, but here passengers were kept on the plane without air-con and lights.

What a mess. Very sad.

Sounds like a case of using guns from work for private purposes (... like in the Korat gold-shop robbery).

1. Barber B120 (Pattaya) is cheap enough - but I do envy upcountry towns where it's B50. 2. Have cut my own often: first when I lived in a third world country that I think didn't even have barbers; and second when I lived in a non-English-speaking first world country where it was just too problematic without knowing the local language.
