Long time reader, short time poster.

We all agreed to abide by the TV Forum rules when we joined. Why are so many posters here surprised when someone posts insulting, trolling or flaming topics and then get censured?

If someone quotes your post and makes such comments, no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to reply. Leave it for the powers that be, and these posters will soon enough be gone.

Some on here complain about loss of freedom of speech, and yet imagine what this forum would be like if someone did not keep all the (deleted) in line.

Follow the rules and post what you like. Insult people and you will Reap what you Sow.

Good post and true in my opinion, unfortunately a few people on here think the world revolves around them and we must all worship their opinion even when many think that it is a load of waffle and completely wrong, no problem with that, opinions and <deleted> and all that but to keep whining about it is very tiresome...maybe some here have too much time on their hands...

Why would he need to reshuffle people they are already doing exactly as he tells them, it isn't as if the flunkies have to think for themselves the good general does that for them thanks to his all seeing intelligence and his unerring knowledge of what is good for Thailand and even the little people ...

Hear hear Seedy!

There are some very annoying posters on here that simply cannot accept any opinion other than their own which would not be so bad except a lot of what they post is absolute drivel

The fact they also tend to act like bullies and gang up on anybody that stands up to them is also bit sad but it does tend to say a lot about them, I wonder if they are so brave in real life....

brling......don't know is it???...you tell me...

Personally the whole thing of bringing your pet police to a visa application or interview speaks volumes to me as does some power hungry knobber in a bought position getting the hump when he does not get his own way......

I was brought up in a place where rules are enforced for everybody including the rich and powerful, even terminally stupid expat's who forgets how lucky they are to hold a passport for somewhere that is not a dictatorship, right now the rights of the majority are being eroded by the people who should be looking after them, unfortunately in Thailand if you have enough money or where born into the right family you can literally do what ever you want...embarrassing if it was not so sad...

I went to Trendy Towers in Bangkok yesterday to renew my passport, we were joined in the lift to the UK visa place by some Hiso woman with 2 high ranking Police acting as her 'bodyguards' and general brown nosers. I really hope she had to queue up with everyone else as I reckon it would be something she isnt too used to here as part of priveliged few so if the visa section is shut next week you know why....ps it wasn't Yingluck unless she been eating all the pies

Jim , my wife got sport demons put on hers about 6 week ago definitely says sport demon on them not dragon, when I was doing my homework before getting them I read they work really well for the smaller bikes with the more basic suspension and they seem to do that really well...

Hi romeijoe, I am interested too if you still have a pup left, we already have 2 rotties and a dobe and a some rats living in our coconut trees so I think we could keep a jack russel entertained as well, we live in Jomtien but we can come to you easily enough if need be, if you want to PM I will pas my email over cheers

I think both the CBR 250 and Ninja 250 both have the same budget IRC's on, I cant remember how much the Sport Demons where because I got some MT60 Corsas for my bike at the same time but it was not overly expensive but what I can say is I am not exagerating when I say the Ninja feels like a completely different bike now and instills way more confidence than the IRC Road Killers ever did, I think for the price it is possibley the single most sensible thing you can do for your bike and your safety, like I said even my wife who generally hates to spend money on stuff she reckons will last 5 minutes longer is fully converted which is saying something....!

ja99, my missus has a ninja 250 which had IRC tyres on which I think are the same size as the CBR 250. I finally persuaded her to stick some Pirelli Sport Demon's on and the bike is transformed, I had to fight as she was adamant about the IRC's being ok as they had plenty tread, happy to say she is now fully converted, well worth the money for the extra safety and feedback

Have to agree with Dave Boo and LL2 on this, mine has nearly 17000K on it now and never had any issues. I got to about 13000 on the Scorpions and then changed to Pirrelli MT60's which I really like, all in all I have been really happy with the bike and in my opinion it's just about the perfect bike for Thailand and certainly fast enough and good in traffic

My experience with Big Wing in Pattaya has been very positive and compared to the Kawasaki shop across the road which the wife used to use for her Ninja they are streets ahead, I have not bothered with the Versys which I like the look of partly for that reason

I would love a new toy and had a test ride on a CB650F and a Benneli 600 problem is I am still very happy with the CBX and I cant really justify an upgrade plus I would probably get my self in trouble with the extra horses, the speed on the 650 is a big step up from my 500 and the Benneli was also a nice ride but I reckon overpriced and lacking ABS

question for JDinasia: if evidence showed the headman's people were the culprits, would you accept that?

Absolutely. Real evidence not the crap from conspiracy theorists.

Question back at you. If the semen DNA matches will you accept the guilt of the 2 Burmese men? (it is a little unreasonable to think that they raped but didn't kill- there is still the rest of the circumstantial evidence)

Absolutely if the DNA the British Police have from the body matches the DNA the Thai Police Farce have.....would I accept the Thai Police DNA without external verification....would I <deleted>@kk!!!

Lies! This was a perfect police investigation and you farrangs just need time to understand.

Happiness in the Kingdom now sits at 120% and corruption has been eradicated.

Love live the Generalissimo

What do you smoking buddy ??

Are you an American, just wondering is all...

Where are all the apologists? there's usually one or two about to tell us this happens all over the world and it is no big deal...

If someone is arrested it is admitting there is a problem, why would the Police Farce want to arrest anybody as it essentially tells the public and the pondlife further up the food chain that they don't have control of the situation especially after the spotlight has been on them before for the same subject. No much much easier to make the victims into illegals so they can be locked away and forgotten no loss of face then......

Why not things have happened with the Koh Tao farce that have been forced by people on social media, the world is looking at LOS and maybe somebody in authority might grow a pair and start doing something about the corruption here, that said I am a realist so I wont hold my breath.....

I disagree by forcing people to look at it and face what is going on there is a chance something could change. I live in Thailand and my daughter is the next generation, I am embarrassed for the Thai people and I worry for my family when I see all this shameful shit on the news and unless people in authority start to act Thailand is on the slippery slope....

Don't worry BJ and his friends will be along soon to tell us how we are all wrong and it never really happened and even if it did it is worse elsewhere....gotta love those apologists!!

After all the previous allegations of murdered Rohingas, forced labour on Thai fishing boats and the ongoing travesty of justice on Koh Tao the BBC have just reported dozens of modern day slaves from Bangladesh and Burma have been rescued in Southern Thailand.....it is difficult to know just how low Thailand can go but what is becoming apparent is Thailand is becoming an International embarrassment

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-29612045

This case has made a few things clear about what we already knew about Thai justice or in fact the lack of, it also highlights the complete desperate adherence to face even at the expense of self respect and justice...

The other thing I have realised is that TV has quite a few prolific posters who are complete and utter crack pots, it is one thing having rose tinted specs on but another entirely when they are so far gone that they are acting as apologists for the Police Farce, quite disturbing really.....

I have a Ninja a CB500X and and a Keeway and much as I really like the Ninja it is definitely nowhere near as comfortable as the other bikes for me and given the choice I would use either of the other two over the Ninja for a long trip, that said for short trips around town the Ninja is good fun....

I think you may struggle on that budget but Keeway have the RKV of which we have 2 and they have not had any issues with them, if you up your budget a CB 500 X would be ideal and I do a lot of miles on mine and rarely get a sore arse from it

That might be the achilles heel then as I wont be able to return on the specific date, I did ask this question at Jomtien immigration but left more confused than when I entered so thanks for the help I might go ahead and see what happens as I don't think I really have much to lose with it...

I know what you mean it is all as clear as mud....your right though if you have cancer or kidney failure or need a camera up the jacksy it does appear to cover you but I rereally hope I never have to put that one to the test!!

Cheers Guys! It is actually more like 5 weeks in usually but this will be about 6 out but it seems that it can be done, hopefully, the only bit I am a bit unclear on is if they keep hold of my passport or if it is going to be a problem as I will be out of the country when the 30 days is up and I would need to return for the permit, anybody offer any advice on this?
