Woman assaulted in Bangkok gym after rejecting man’s advances (video)
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
popular excuse from body builders trying to claim roids aren't heavily used and don't have the effects that they do. Just because you don't use them doesn't count for much as there's plenty of instances of roid rage to offset your claim -
Phuket Hospital Appeals for Respectful Conduct from Russian Patients
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
issue staff and security guards with tasers. That tends to slow down the aggression when it gets above normal acceptable levels -
They would need to ban all party members and thats not been the case in the past, only the leaders, not that it couldnt happen but highly unlikely

so let me get my understanding straight here. The military with all their armory decide to overthrow the elected govt. The Elected govt discovers the coup as it's happening and can say hey wait a minute I suspend your leaders from military service and by the magic of the written legislation the military suddenly stops the coup and turns around and goes back to the barracks and has a beer and watches some TV. And who does the military report to now that carries enough weight for them to listen to Elected officials that they are in the process of throwing out.

Nope, if dissolved they just move to a new party and come election time they create a new form of MFP just like they did for this election from their last party. They had no problem creating a new party after their last party was dissolved and time and youth is on there side. If it weren't for corruption and the unelected senators they would be in power now. Last election votes showed that. The only reason PT is still pressing for the 10k free money is in hopes of buying future votes and sympathy.

Its my belief that the average Thai knows of all the corruption, doesnt like it, but its gone on so long in their lives and nothing has changed one way or the other, nor will it regardless of who's in power. It's kinda like the war in most middle east countries in there is no one alive today that ever lived in a time where there was no war, so its just part of life and you work around it. The young middle class politicians that have been educated abroad and seen what life , economy and politics can be are the ones that will bring change. They have the momentum and suppprt of the young and it continues to grow they just need to figure out how to get around the landmines and roadblocks laid by the corrupt dinosaurs and then you will see many changes occur. Nothing will ever be perfect here but it can be a lot better for the general population

The whole Thaksin controversy while relevant to the political dinosaurs trying to hold on to power and someone higher up is being promoted by those controlling the media narrative and has little relevance to the next generation of politicians that have already made their presence known and are being very effective and changing the future landscape. The dinosaurs are trying to hold their powerbase as long as possible and believe Thaksin's past popularity is still at the same level it was 2 decades ago and can swing things back to their favor. In realtiy they only amunition they have is the dirty political tricks and corrupt courts they influence. Times are changing and while he's important to them he isnt the power he once was.

Major creditors to rescue distressed Italian-Thai Development
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Perhaps they should read up on the financial fiasco that just went down in Vietnam within their banking system for some tips on what not to do if they want to stay solvent. People banking with Bankok Bank should check up on the limits of their account protection and consider their risk on their account deposits. Its not over until the fat lady or in this case the fat man sings. I think I hear the music playing in the distance. -
"Smart" trickle chargers are the worst things ever invented

If your "smart" charger has features for stupid people then it should work just fine for you -
"Smart" trickle chargers are the worst things ever invented
Dan O replied to Harsh Jones's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
You are making unfounded moronic statements and claiming that I said them. You are apparently used to being a 4 year old throwing tantrums and expecting to get a candy bar at the end. Its not happening. The thing you need to take the hammer to is not the trickle charger but your head. Im done with this discussion and with you. Have your mom charge your diaper and then better day. -
"Smart" trickle chargers are the worst things ever invented
Dan O replied to Harsh Jones's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Not sure where you got that i said i would throw out a car battery? I just explained that you were blaming a trickle charger when it didn't do what you thought it would do. If you have a dead car battery have it tested and you'll know if it can be recharged or not but a trickle charger probably isn't gonna do it in any short amount if time as they aren't designed for that -
Prime Minister urges police to crack down on influential figures
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Keep in mind that they held an accounting a few months back to identify people of questionable influence and question them. If memory serves me correctly of the 690+ people of bad influence almost 500 stated that they had already changed their ways, whatever that means. The remainder never committed to change nor did anything ever come of it. -
"Smart" trickle chargers are the worst things ever invented
Dan O replied to Harsh Jones's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Might want to check that as a trickle charger is meant to charge a battery that is low but not dead with a lower charge rate as to not overheat it but the battery must have some charge. a float charge is meant to charge and recharge a battery to maintain it and has circuitry to stop at full charge and not over charge. A trickle charger is no meant for a completely dead battery. -

Perhaps the problem is not the Trickle Charger but your understanding of what it is and how it works. Trickle chargers are not meant for charging a dead battery, they are intended to maintain a charge on a battery that is used very little or in a vehicle that sits for long periods of time without use to keep the batter at a full state of charge.- 71 replies

Buying a condo for daughter foreign quota
Dan O replied to Cricky's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
are you sure about buying at that age? While technically she could "own" at her age, it may present problems signing legal documents and contracts in the country. I would check with a qualified lawyer, if you havent yet, to make sure you dont end up in a circle with the various govt offices -
Buying a condo for daughter foreign quota
Dan O replied to Cricky's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Can she buy a condo at only 16 years old? -
First off I never said anything about giving a free flight back. I said its at the carriers expense\responsibility and its up to them to settle with the passenger, or not. What I said was they are required to return you for not following the regulations of the destination country which they may be held accountable for the cost and any associated fines which signing a waiver does not negate. You are quoting carriage language from 1 carrier. Cost is between you and the carrier, end of story since the destination country regulations have to be followed regardless of payment for the return trip. The whole point of the subject is that you can be denied boarding if you dont meet the entrance regs of the destination country and your blurring that point. So you may want to review that and not just the airlines carriage regs.
-
the airlines have no choice but return you if they fail to confirm the proper documentation on check in. The financial or fines are secondary to that and a separate issue. They can allow you to sign a waiver prior to boarding but fewer will accept that currently so end result if your denied entry you will sit in detention lock down untll you do return. Immigration seldom ever checks exit flights at entrance but anything can happen as its not the Thailand of 5 to 10 years ago
-
yes , Its the airlines that are generally the issue for checking for onward ticket based on APIS and IATA software that shows them the destination country regulations as they must pay for the return flight if they disregard the regs and you are denied entry. Immigration very seldom will ask unless you have some other issue that they stop you for on entry,

Songkran Water Splashing Causes Viral Fight in Phuket
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Sometimes you can't just put your life on hold because idiots have no self control and think everyone is a target and ok to drench. Some people actual have to go out to work and it becomes almost impossible to avoid.
