This is a small guesthouse isn't it ?

 

I wonder if it's leased or owned by the current operators.

 

Edit : Mafia ? I don't believe a word of it.

FOREIGN mafia!!!!

I really don't understand.

If TAT is making things up about tourists from Russia and China, the quality kind, are arriving in droves, isn't there someone in Government or Business calling out: "where?".

Are you sure kicking him off the bike was the only way left?

Could also have shot him.....

But, it is in Hat Tai.

Enough said?

I have a better idea, just shoot the bastard. In cases like this with clear evidence, shooting them the next day without long trial would definitely make the rehabilitation much easier for future wannabe murders.

Ahhhhhh

Here is the kill-kill-kill brigade.

5 hours? Really? I mean, really???

 

Most Thais that I know can't even sit still for 2 hours in front of the local monks while blessing a new home... Let alone stop playing on their phone as if Facebook updates are way more important then any driving video. Especially if the video does not contain car chases, guns and crashes.

 

Ok -- end of sarcasms for the day --

Sleeping?

It is all very true, pricewise, that is.

There are cheaper ones available.

However, what about the certification of the laser guns?

Are they indeed registering the real speed within agreed margins?

Don't leave any room for legal and judicial doubt.

Those ones are rather more pricey, although 700,000 each is quite over the top.

I thought prices around €3500 each in Europe.

And now go onto remove the other offending UN figures sitting in commissions for this or that while coming from countries practising the opposite.

Thai?

Nooooooo

Must be farang, as Thai don't do that!

Offered on the altar of money?

Wouldn't be surprised at all.

However, the nearer to the outlet the higher the probability of flooding.

So, here is a foreginer that still believes in hitting with a cane. Dear sir, you are terrebly after. Today there are more humane and effective methods as for example consuling and other things.

But surely a cane is cheaper, faster and more memorable?

Thailand should thank the Chinese for shedding its sex capital image which the Americans and Europeans gave them.

I wonder if it isn't Thailand that gave itself that image.

Don't blame the visitors for taking up what is on offer, not blame the suppliers to react to a demand.

But, if you read the article well, it is now a happy few that get business and many unhappy that get nothing any more.

 They can call it whatever they want, but 99.9% of people know exactly who is causing the mayhem. 

It might be the same.......

Not interested, at all.

NINE stations in what, 150 kilometers? Hardly enough time to speed up before it has to slow down again.

That is exactly why high speed trains are not really necessary.

Upgrading the existing rail system to high standards is much cheaper, to build and to run.

Two different rail systems in a country will devour any chance to break even or make a profit.

The floods will ease if rains stop? Nah, that defies normal Thai logic.

It is perfectly logical.

It also implies, like it or not, humans can not control nature in whatever way.

Even in the Netherlands, a country renowned for its water management, be it sea or rivers, nature defies all things built by humans to control water.

What Thailand needs, upstream, is millions of trees to hold the rainwater, wide riverbeds and overflow areas, and Bangkok to be made a huge polder and, yes, the river needs much more room and huge dikes.

It might be advisable to dig stream channels to lead river water around Bangkok polder......

Maybe..... the insurance companies can start some form of class action against the incompetent government agencies responsible for water management

 

sure, not all flooding can be avoided, but a lot of it can be (or at least effectively controlled)

Maybe sue God for letting it rain?

Victims should file another lawsuit, as follows:   Sue US's ATF (Dept of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) and the NRA for enabling the shooter to have pump stock upgrades which essentially transformed the 20 guns (found in the hotel room) into illegal automatic weapons.   I recommend they sue for $10 million for each death, $5 million for each serious injury, and $1 million for each minor injury.   ATF is a federal agency - they are backed by a trillion dollars.   NRA is also very wealthy.   Both are working to increase danger to Americans.

And while doing that, why not sue the manufacturers of cars and trucks.

They are very wealthy, can easily pay a few million to each victim of car related mayhem.

Thousands of victims cry out for justice from these criminally inclined manufacturers.

Of course, related federal offices must also be sued.

All state governments must be sued for admission of these motorised death traps on their roads and issuing driving (killing) licenses to anybody.

I guess the number of dead and injured by cars/trucks is hugely greater as deaths by guns.

Then, when busy sueing the car industry, why not start sueing medicine companies for obvious reasons?

Or maybe manufacturers of electric appliances, swimming pool makers, house designers, facilitators of illegal immigration (oops), builders of roads, etc etc etc.

People kill!

Things used in a normal, diligent way, usually don't kill.

Although I do know manufactured things that do kill.

Millions of human beings.

man it is really sad to read these flood stories every year.

 

 

Overflow reservoirs should be sturdy.

Not only slapdashed together with earth or sand!

Break failure?

I presume you mean brake failure?

Or maybe you mean failure to apply brakes?

One assumes that the "academics" majored in The Bleeding Obvious.

 

Well, in fact they state the obviously wrong remedy.

If it rains up north, there is nothing to hold the water in check.

What is needed is millions of trees!

All over the country to hold the rainwater.

The riverbeds, all the way, need to be widened, overflow areas need to be created.

Then, Bangkok needs to be made a polder, huge dikes around the city and along the river.

Pumping stations and stream canals to release the rain fallen in Bangkok into the sea must be constructed.

The trouble in Bangkok is not only the rain fallng in Bangkok but also the rain fallng up country.

You don't need academics to tell that, ask any Dutchman.

Right. I've tried to tell them. A gold crucifix, blessed by a priest who hasn't buggered more than ten boys,  will turn back floods, tsunamis, charging rhinos. But will they listen?

Of course, it is all to blame on the government, they control the weather, yes?

Control nature also, don't they
