But he,s still not inside a prison  ...? 

regards worgeordie

Indeed - if that's him in the OP photo, he's not in jail-house-garb.

1. Well done to the police for finding him.

2. Ugly days ahead if bag-snatching becomes popular - including the danger of being dragged along the road.

3. I wonder if his excuse: "I was drunk" carries any weight around here.

"I called my co-worker to help me before catching all four of them and holding them for Pattaya Police.”

Two were able to catch four: Impressive!

1. What a sad story (the story behind the story) - a son missing for 20 years. What burdens some people have to carry!

2. Sometimes, just sometimes, Thai superstitions may work in our favor:

My GF reckon the thief had had bad luck since the theft & was trying to undo it. 

"Thai tea" is a bit too vague for me to understand what this is all about.

It's certainly not easy to find a local, black, leaf tea here that's acceptable (to me).

A public education campaign might get better results.

Too often here I've had it served burnt on the edges and still cold in the middle - so I just don't try anymore ... too finicky to make at home, I just make do with cooking my own spagetti bolongese - which is good enough (for me).

Yes, in a restaurant you can send cold or under-cooked food back to the kitchen ... but it should never have been served that way - same thing with "steaks" of chicken or pork being served raw in the middle (and even bigger shrimp).

There should be a verb to describe the act of "half doing your job in the expectation that the customer will then clearly tell you what's wrong with it, so you can then tell the cook exactly what to do". End of rant.

Too complicated for me ... but, yes, why borrow big money for this project.

As for people-moving: Assuming that the airline industry one day returns to the good old days, flights are cheap, easy and frequent.

As for cargo: If they want to send Thai turnips (or whatever it is they grow here), slow trains to Nong Kai already exist, and some cheap Burmese labourers can be employed to re-load the turnips onto the fast train for delivery to China.

As always Thailand: Don't make simple, easy things so complicated.

Hmm ... the death and theft were close in time? I wonder if the nurse helped one thing along to make it easier to get away with the other thing?

So, you need a passport to enter Thailand - but it appears there's no system in place to cross-check if the passport has been cancelled (or stolen)?

(Reminds me of the missing MH370 flight: two passengers were found to be using stolen passports - as Malaysia did not subscribe to Interpol's service to check passport validity at check-in.)

Interesting ... it looks like the PM is between a rock and a hard place - frustrated by the quorum rules, but without any rules to compel attendence.

The PM must really need to get his two "organic laws" through, but can't ... wow, could it be that the end for him is near? 

I don't see that one (or a few) legal casinos (no doubt with lots of rules, dress-codes and restrictions) would put any sort of dent in the illegal "casinos" here - some Thais I've seen just love to sit cross-legged on the floor - for hours and hours - slapping down cards with B20 bets.

So, what is the sausage-maker? ... a trader just trying to make a buck by cutting a few cornors? (not uncommon here) ... or a mass-murderess?

Doubt they'll throw the book at her ... she and her tasty sausages will be back soon ... I just hope she's been shamed enough to clean her machinery before making her next batch.

You almost have to admire her audacity - earlier reports said she also had " halal approved" stickers.

An interesting threat: pass these laws if you want an election. And if not passed ... then what?

If they say the last election was valid, surely they could have another election without the new laws.

It's a pity I cannot say more, as I don't really know the effective thrust of the two "organic bills."
