Kuwait is Muslim a good Muslim what is he doing 1.00 a.m in pub as Muslim not allow to drink alcohol and prostitution

They do have "a" (as in singular) Christian church in Kuwait City.

There's a Mosque every 2 blocks.

A gas (petrol) station every 20 miles. I once stopped at the gas station across from the Schwaiba refinery and they were out of gas..... Kuwait was kind of a cool place to live & work though.

Black market for booze in Kuwait is HUGE. Johnny Walker out the wazoo there.

For sure the Kuwaiti paid through the yin-yang to see any justice. His pockets were deeper than the bar owner's.

Why is weed illegal?

Ban pine trees & mango trees and rice and wheat.

God invented weed. Man made it illegal.

Who do you trust? God or man?

Kinda stupid to be a "Rasta-Dude" slinging weed across the street from the police station though.

I used to partake quite often, but can take it or leave it..... Need to call my 18 year old nephew & see what he has laying around. This article make me want a puff or two.

Try Maryvit in N. Pattaya.

The also have a branch in Sattahip.

Lots of Filipina English speaking teachers.

Sorry but MORE POLICE?

Why didn't they just change the Poll to MORE CORRUPTION?

More HONEST Police - i think you should have put a box for!

Or maybe a box for 1 or 2 (at least) honest policemen.

Gotta start somewhere.

"prohibiting passengers to bring flammable objects or fireworks on board and will decline services to intoxicated passengers"

And, and....umm... no passengers with a giraffe in their pocket will be allowed, and, umm, yeah! No zombies allowed, and umm...no people with 2 heads & 11 fingers, and umm....

I could go on for days.

Just an unofficial poll, but how many folks prefer ear-splitting music played till the wee hours of the morning, as opposed to a resort where they play easy listening at sane levels, in a romantic setting, on a clean beach, where there are sufficient (non-corrupt) police...say 1 honest policeman for every 100 tourists?

A place where there are no drug addicts nor pushers, no corrupt underpaid police, and one can feel safe, get a decent night's sleep, and have a good time like that?

NO I DO NOT WANT a Nanny State, just something resembling sanity.

TAT want's "Quality Tourists", yet the local BiB have allowed these nonsense drug parties for decades.

What's your vote?

Insane, or...

Sane?

Violators may face execution or a life sentence or serve a lighter sentence of 5 to 10 years in prison, if damages done were not too severe. In addition, such offenders are also guilty of violating Section 232 of the Criminal Code and that alone carries a sentence of 6 to 7 years in prison and a fine up to 1,000 to 14,000 baht.

Seems VERY reasonable.

In the US if you point a laser and interfere with the operation of an aircraft, it is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison and a quarter of a million dollars fine. I imagine if it brought down the plane killing people then you would received a life sentence or possibly the death penalty.

Just curious, & not saying it isn't dangerous, but how does a laser affect an aircraft?

What a headline.

Hua Hin partially flooded due to heavy rains

DUH??? Are they sure it wasn't due to a heavy drought?

Terrible Headline

The incident isn't 9 years old, the victim is.

^^ I thought the same thing.

Pretty difficult to get the RTP to investigate something 9 minutes old much less 9 years old.

I have a Toshiba laptop & it has a manual button on the front to turn the wifi off/on.

The removal steps are similar to another post http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/771885-rogue-malware-coupondownloader-firmly-enterenched-on-all-my-browsers/

Read this: Remove Trovi from Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer

You can get one of the programs described in the procedures as follows:

AdwCleaner (Free) from http://www.bleepingc...oad/adwcleaner/

Malwarebytes free from https://www.malwarebytes.org/

HitmanPro from http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro This is a trial version, unlimited scanning but only able to remove for 30 days.

Thanks,

I tried the AdwCleaner & it didn't work.

HitmanPro however, did the trick!

Hahaha!

Feed it.....Rice?

I hear there's tons upon ton of spoiled rice in Thailand these days.

Maybe find a bakery or donut shop that tosses out old bread stuff.

Oh yeah, I'd name him Daffy.

I was under the believe that Proper DNA tests take a fair time to process and should be done in Forensic Laboratory.....all this rushed testing is crap and the pommy cops should insist on a proper forensic test, not just some local thai hospital.....

http://intrensic.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-does-dna-testing-take-so-long.html ..confirms this....

This is the 21st Century. In many labs all ower the world, DNA test results are available within a few hours, if using the most advanced methods: http://www.angliadna.co.uk/Express-DNA-Testing

Surely you can't be serious? Using 21st Century in reference to Thailand???

Don't call me Shirley.

Police Lt. Colonel General Admiral General Senior Sgt Major Somchai Iawannanut Peeratporn, Commander of the 5th region, 3rd sub command of the 19th region of the 23rd district of nothingness, (aka known as the Boyscouts in Brown), said that copyright infringement was an area of commerce "strictly controlled by police".

I recall years ago, (I may have been mis-led) that one could say the same word 5 times in a row, in different tones, & it meant "The Brown Chicken Doesn't Crow on Fridays"...or something like that.

I was trying to explain learning Thai vs Spanish to somebody & that thought came to mind.

I will say again....for about the 5th or 6th time, police can kick in the doors of a bar & demand everybody piss in a bottle to test for drugs. I'm no forensic expert, but I'd wager there is lots of DNA in a urine sample.

They should have kicked in this guy's door & said there were reports of drug use in his apartment & made him pee in a bottle.

That's not very honest, but under what precedent do they raid bars & force people to give urine samples?

WHY oh WHY, has it taken weeks upon weeks to get DNA from this guy?

What's to say the cops didn't swab the inside of an elephant's mouth and swap that out for Nomsad Worat Numbnut's DNA?

Anybody who has ever had any dealing with the BiB knows they can be bought.

LOS = Land of Scams.

I always find it interesting that here in Thailand the prosecutor can appeal an innocent verdict and the three who were found innocent might well be able to be tried again.

Very different than the west.

The state of Florida took me to court once. The district court ruled to drop the case & the district attorney appealed it to the next higher level.... Where they lost again.

And, it wasn't a murder charge either. Cost me an arm & a leg for my lawyer, but it was worth it.

In the US if you are acquitted at a jury trial, the state cannot appeal.

My case never went to trial though.

Since this is an opinionated story, I thought I would give my opinion too.

I think every country has it's fair share of problems. Look at the USA. OMG! What a violent country that is. Shootings in schools, drugs being legalized, gangs, rapes, crime, riots, free for all media and the glorification of the American warrior and that way of life are some of my concerns for the "leader of the free world." Its not the country I grew up in or spent 20 years defending. I don't even want to get into what I think of the American democratic process or how public opinion is controlled by the media such as Fox News and CNN. American's do love this type of society. If they didn't, they would change. They thrive on it so much they want the rest of the world to be just like them.

So Mr. Hasan Basar, be careful what you wish for because you may not like what you get. Remember, no country is perfect and they all have to find their own way.

While I agree with what you say about the USA (Untied States of Aremia.....Did my 20 in the Army too), Mr. Basar does make some valid points.

Basic law enforcement is almost non-existent in Thailand if some thug has 50,000 baht to bribe himself out of a petty crime. No matter that that 50K is profits from crime.

The Thai cops just want to line their pockets.

I shudder at the thought of trying to bribe a cop on the street in the USA or UK or Australia.

In Thailand, it's part of everyday life and is not only accepted, it is EXPECTED.

I really have no solutions to offer, other than a better education system and a few more generations that get to take advantage of it.

I doubt I'll see it in my lifetime.

Understandably, as its not their children getting drugged .raped and murdered. Perhaps these whinging money grabbing touts would be better served by complaining about their own inept and inadequate police force.

Ha! YES and YES!

There's another topic here about what Thais find annoying with Farangs.

One guy said "Because we tell the truth".

What you just said is the truth.

I've just read a brief statement in the other Thai English language newspaper that the KT Headman has now agreed to have his son DNA tested. The reason stated was that he wished to quell the social media speculation about his son's guilt/innocence.

A bit late in the day me thinks. I wonder who will test, verify, cross check etc. Even if there is no match, the speculation is unlikely to subside due to the extent of other questionable submissions eg CCTV.

Yeah. I agree.

It must've taken him this long to come up with the $$$$ baht to bribe this into action as far as getting it "right" with someone else's DNA.

To bad they can't just napalm the whole island & start over.

Honestly, how hard can it be to collect DNA? Follow the suspect & pick up a soda can or cigarette butt he discards.

Force him to take a drug test! They do that on the side of the flippin' road for Chrissake!

If the Bungling Boys in Brown cared at all they'd have had his DNA weeks ago.

It depends on what type of farang. Farang kee nok or farang work in office or posh farang.

Base on Nationalities also. For example American talk too much. Over act , show off, too independent... (a bit crazy)

British too proud of acents even from Liverpool, Manchester or New castle and i never understood scottish.

French just pretend to be elegant but actually quite rude (resist)

Australian too thrifty, never gave any tips to servicers. (If Thais know this customers from Australia they dont wanna give good service)

Just what we think.

Best regards,

As there was no comment in your post about Greeks, I assume they are perfect

I think they've probably just never heard of them.

Years ago I knew a young-ish Brit fellow & he'd tell all the bar-girls he was from Greenland .

They'd never heard of that place! So, yeah, Greece is probably the same to them.

They dont like to hear the plain truth!

And/or read it.

what truths would you be referring to?

Wow, you opened Pandora's box there.

There's waaaaaaaaaaay too many stray dogs in Thailand.

There's waaaaaaaaay too many people standing around scratching their ass at Tesco/Big C etc that barely even know where the front door is, much less how to help a customer.

Soap dispenser in restaurants are supposed to have SOAP in them.

Rinsing your arse with your hand and a slop bucket is disgusting.

Motorcycle helmets are a good idea.

Riding around traffic with 4 people on your motorcycle is a bad (mad) idea.

The beach in Pattaya is sh!t because nobody cares.
