US Orthodontist Says She Was Electrocuted In "Freak Accident" In Thailand

I would say incident rather than accident. Accident implies there is no fault. There definitely is fault here by the owners of the power cables -

Wrong Definition of Electrocution (Oxford English Dictionary) the injury OR killing of someone by electric shock. "they switched off the power supply to avoid any risk of electrocution" -

Thai government cuts local alcohol tax to zero to boost tourism and economy
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Absurd, nearly 3000 arrests for Drunk Driving over 3 days and they want to make alcohol cheaper locally. -
I am looking specifically for UK/USA films which have been overdubbed in Thai with subtitle files included on the DVD. All DVD's I bought in the UK had the option to display English subtitles. Some had the option to display alternative subtitles in different languages (usually European). I suspect that I may be able to download English subtitles from the internet. My wife does not read or write very well (sent to work in Bangkok when she was 11) and this would be the best way for us to both sit down at home and enjoy a movie together since she likes overdubbed US,/UK films. Also for Thai films/Lakhorns there is a website called WLEXT which has hundreds of Thai films and Lakhorns with English subtitles which can be downloaded

Phuket taxi driver drives away foreign woman over air conditioning dispute
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
You will note that I said it can and not that it will. I also said an air con system that is set too cold. Used correctly by hundreds of millions there is no problem -

Female ranger survives rape attempt but faces resignation pressure
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agreed but often you find 'passive aggression' in women rather than overt aggression . i.e. you are critical of me/my work, I don't like it, I am depressed, you are horrid, you are a bully, I will make a complaint. -
A friend of mine says that this is actually 'Greenlighting' by his opponents. Making a big fuss about this issue to prevent his supporters raising the same issue for a different reason questioning why he suddenly fell ill in detention and why he is so long in hospital. Was he poisoned or beaten up? Either way no one has any right to know any details unless he gives permission

RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You are wrong she moved to live with her boyfriend before the incident and the interview "Chonlada explained that she was a ranger for nearly seven years in the Deep South provinces. However, she suffered from depression and moved to stay with her boyfriend, who was also a soldier" -

I don't say that it isn't true but people with 'depression' are often highly manipulative and vindictive, basically very angry at everyone. We have only heard her side of the story. It may be that he was kind to her and when she responded and tried to initiate something he was obliged to reject her. Again don't jump up and down with your panties in the air I am just playing devil's advocate- 31 replies

Nobody Can Visit Thaksin At Hospital If He Says No: Somsak
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I agree. Perhaps if some of the people jumping up and down waving their panties had all their medical records published in the Thai English press and a visit from the immigration police to check their health status, they might change their minds -

RobU replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Rules of patient confidentiality apply just as much to prisoners. I have said before no one has the right to know his medical details unless he allows it. I am pleased to hear that no one can visit unless he gives permission other than medical/nursing staff. This very nasty attempt by politicians to break the law and 'find out what is wrong' is foiled. For god's sake leave him alone the law says no one can know anything unless he gives permission and it has always been so.- 69 replies

Thai man kills girlfriend in jealous rage over religion
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
The headline that he killed her because she refused to convert to Islam is pure speculation. There is no suicide note and no statement of intent. Merely she refused to marry him immediately because she was not yet ready to convert to Islam. -

RobU replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
This isn't about islam it's about a deranged man who couldn't accept rejection and murdered the woman who rejected him. He then took the cowards way it and committed suicide. The purported reason for his behaviour is irrelevant ot her men do exactly the same. -
Dangling Wire Snags Pattaya Motorbike Taxi Driver by His Neck
RobU replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Had a low lying fibre optic strung across our front garden to our neighbours house. Our neighbor reported it a number of times and they did nothing. A truck delivered some building material and caught it, pulling it down completely. Then I intervened and threatened legal action, at which point they finally came and fixed it. A lot of these people who put up the cables are self employed contractors. They supply the cable and link it to the network at the box on the pole which has many access points, then inform the network of the property it is linked to and which access point is used.
