  1. This must have been smuggled out of Bangkok with the collusion of somebody working there. The second species is native to Borneo so was smuggled from there or was bred in captivity, the former being far more likely.
  2. She is a reflection of her [politically active] constituents. Her [politically active] constituents are those that organise effective political campaigns to help her stay elected. In certain sections of the UK constituency, the topic of Palestine seems to be more important than the affairs of the UK. I would not vote her for her if you paid me. This all reflects Britain today.
  3. I'm not bothered about "getting in trouble". I am bothered about scanning stuff or typing it out just for it to be deleted. And if you can't read Thai, what's the point of insisting I do it. I have read enough Thai school books to know that warning girls of the dangers of teen pregnancy and irresponsible teenage fathers is commonly covered in Thai education. Remember Thai schooling differs from Western schooling in that it is often referred to as behaviour-focused whilst Western education is referred to as knowledge-focused, (although the trend in recent years has been a move to a focus on critical thinking). So, a lot of Thai schooling is "Do it like this, don't do that. Behave in this way" This is reflected very heavily in the course material.
  4. No details, no official source again. Last time he was in a coma in a Chonburi city hospital, now he is out of a coma in a Pattaya hospital. In multiple stories, neither hospital was named. How did the South Wales Argus get a quote from a British Foreign Office spokesperson? This might be real, but it looks like a made-up clever begging scheme to me.
  5. As more and more time passes, and the amounts in breath, blood and urine become negligible, the countback system becomes less and eventually no longer valid. My understanding in this case is that the driver of the Mini Cooper arranged a time several hours in the future to surrender.
  6. I am not allowed to post Thai language in this forum. Also I am not going to scan Thai school books just for it to be deleted by a mod. It is a standard part of the syllabus woven into Social Studies, Thai language often through stories. It is a subject that crops up over and over.
  7. This issue is repeatedly addressed in Thai schools and learning material from the age of 8 onwards. They even point out the boy will get bored and move on leaving the girl "with her life destroyed". This is the phrase they commonly use. I have no idea if this approach reduces the frequency of teenage pregnancies / motherhood.
  8. She needs to stop making up ridiculous excuses, she isn't being tried in the soft-touch UK where that would get you a suspended sentence. She needs to start grassing people up.
  9. Explain that. Cannabis has been decriminalised in Thailand. They are not jailing people for cannabis smuggling. Are you still in the 80's?
  10. As somebody stated earlier, he was probably over the limit for alcohol and drugs. He needs to go away and take time for these to leave his system. This would be his motivation for not stopping.
  11. It looked to me that the altercation was clearly started by the cop going into the cell and kicking or "theeping" (pushing with the foot) the detainee. This is always stated as being the gravest insult in Buddhist Thailand. Of course, we don't know what went on before. Possibly the detainee was sitting blocking the door slightly. The police officer should learn about Thai culture and using his foot.
  12. Donald does not have any friends for long. Even MELANIA can't stand him.
  13. Surely bread, good or otherwise, goes stale and therefore inedible. It might even get some mould on it. So I am struggling to understand your comment about "good bread remaining edible". The exception to this would be if it was truly loaded with preservatives like Farmhouse bread.
  14. I don't believe he is dead. The whole thing is a charade. Lies upon lies.
  15. Hang on, I will just turn my music down.
  16. That's the one!
  17. Count the posts with "Bangkok Hilton" in them.
  18. Monkey House or Bangkok Hilton? I'll let you choose. Or invent a new cliché.
  19. The Lotus North Pattaya branch of Decathlon is definitely not there any more.
  20. You're not alone. It seems the police and municipal officials (on the same road) also have not noticed.
