Phuket Stan

also in a situation like this I prefer a PM that shows some empathy and sprays tears instead of bullets everytime she get upset.

Unlike her brother who was very good at getting people to spray bullets everywhere

When Ban Ki-moon declines the invitation, they can probably still get Tony Blair to advise them.

Been there....Done that....Read the book....Watched the movie

When ever the rice scam is discussed the red supporters are usually missing

It's a bit beyond most of their intellects

Any 'talk' that includes Chalerm will go nowhere. Why bother?

Could say the same re Suthep and whats the point of talking with someone with an arrest warrant out on them, talking hurts no one. although i dont think the EC can be said to be neutral it should be the Dems coming to talk as they are the political opposition in the elections not the PRDC who dont wish tom have them . We shall have to wait and see.

Those invited include caretaker Deputy PM Phongthep Thepkanjana, caretaker PM's Office Minister Varathep Rattanakorn, caretaker Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, Pheu Thai strategy committee member Bhokin Bhalakula and former EC member Sodsri Sattayatham.

Where does it say Suthep's name on this list?

You have a very unhealthy obsession with the man. I have lost count of the non-Suthep related threads that your first comment always mentions his name.

Even threads where it is non political context and you launch into your usual BORING anti-Suthep diatribe.

You are becoming excessively BORING!

Go take a holiday or something and get your mental issues sorted out..... It;s not healthy.

'The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.~ Aldous Huxley'..... Describes you beautifully.

He just may have the "Hots" for Khun Suthep

Come On Mr T ..... Out with your check book !!! .............

"Been sent,... it's in the mail !"

Now thats the 1st of the 3 great lies

Someone remind me what are the 2nd and 3rd

show my your patents.

Surely whistles are in the public domain, since the copyright would have expired well before copyright even existed.

Mr Whistle (and Mr Crappa's) family would still be getting royalties today?

Under British law its called "Passing Off".....taking the opportunity to make money out of someone elses business/efforts....bit like the guy who had a logo somewhat similar to Starbucks.....Starbucks had a real strong case but I dont think Sutheps lot would get very far in a proper court of law

Was really shocked when I heard about his death

I am really going to miss Paul's bright bubbly informative banter on 91.5

Hope that Big Guy in the sky has a few drams of the real good stuff awaiting for him

My condolences to his loved ones and all the crew at 91.5RM

This incident reminds me of another very similar one a few years ago, when an old ladies house was riddled by hundreds of bullets from a gang of machine-gun toting yahoos. She survived by hiding behind the refrigerator. The leader of the violent thugs is still an active politician. Interesting to know if history is repeating itself. Just goes to show that letting these criminals go unpunished isn't very wise.

The son of this elderly couple living in the house was living in Bangkok and had won the lottery so he built a new house for his parents....what a good son ....some of the locals were surprised at this show of wealth and told the police they were drug dealers...no less a person of the Thaksin regime the Interior Minister led the raid...it is purported over 150 shots were fired into the house ....the elderly couple survived by hiding behind the frig....the Interior Minister earnt himself a new nickname that night ....he became known as "The Fridge"

I seem to remember Abhisit giving 2000 baht to all taxpayers before the last election. Just happened to be mostly Democrat supporters who pay tax...or so he thought

Remind me where and when this happened......2000 sounds a lot for a vote in Thailand

Friend at the stadium says the Suthep anti-government thugs have guns - started firing at red shirts - someone fired back at them - all very confusing - nobody knows what happened but started by the anti-government thugs.

Hey Magenta....Where do u get your drugs from......I have to go to 2 childrens birthday parties tomorrow and I want to be as good a clown as you are this evening

Where is that "Fountain of Knowledge" who had it on very good authority from someone who new someone who new someone who new someone that over 400 people perished in the fire

Will he now stand up and apologise or will he sit down and order another brown one

Mind you one way to ease the problem will be upon us soon , in the cool season the winds blows a little more and perhaps then the government members can relax and go and fly kites.

Now this being an English language forum I won't post the Thai expression slang or otherwise for kite flying but I am sure the greater majority of the governments puppets are used to having strings and things pulled.

Now can anyone hear recall the slang expression concerning kite flying?

Mmmmm Chuck Wow comes to mind when flying a kite etc etc

ask any thai in phuket and they will tell you the same but you believe what you want

Whatever

apparently 400 people died because they locked the door to prevent looting.

Where does this gem of information come from ???????????

Some reputable links please

If there were that many people missing, in fact if there was only one their relatives would be there kicking and screaming to locate the body(ies)

Drove past there this morning and there was nil sign of any protests

It might be "Here comes our leader"

Wish I could keep my shirts that clean

They are on very firm instructions to be back at the rest home before 7pm or there will be no meds for 24 hours.....Matron does not liked to be jacked around

They will make an example of these guys, to placate the uneducated masses, then business as usual around the rest of the island!

They won't

Great.

Even more drunken, foul mouthed, tattooed, singlet wearing bogans.

And that is just the women...the Melbourne blokes are far...far worse...

And where may I ask is the Utopia that you come from

I am not an Australian but they are generally a great nation of people ready to help the underdog

Get a life and keep out of low repute bars etc and you may see the world

This governor is proving more and more that he has no clue what is happening on the island. Just let the DSI do their work and move out of the way.

Exactly

I think it was Harry Truman who said "The Buck Stops Here".....he even had a plaque on his desk saying so

I am not a beach person, so maybe that is why, I would not have known what a red flag means.

This is a first I heared of it. The very few times I do go to the beach (Pattaya) I have never seen red flags.

But then if there where big waves, I would not go into the water.

Time to get the map out. Pattaya is on the gulf of Thailand. Phuket is in the Andaman sea. Quite a difference.

The reasons to strongly avoid Phuket are adding up. In 10 years Asia I have never been. But the scams, the unclear deaths of foreigners, the taxi's, tuk tuk's, tsunami, earthquake, corruption. Isn't it time to come to the conclusion Phuket is not a very smart tourist destination to choose?

We just love all you people who knock the place but have never been here...it does show a really adult attitude about life

As my 6 year old grandson says....if you don't try it you will never know but then again he likes a bit of adventure

Well Done Guys ....Hope it keeps growing and growing
