I made that mistake first time and assumed they are average size like in EU until the girl showed me the backside of durex with the nr on so I had to go back to 7/11...I find it funny when @7/11 the girls behind check the nr of the Durex you just bought....

But most of the pharmacies (at least in Phuket) do have xtra sizes if you are not shy to ask

THAILAND

In the Thai capital of Bangkok, some people reported feeling light shaking as a result of the first earthquake. "I was sitting at my desk on the top floor of an 11-story building in Bangkok and suddenly felt my head slightly swaying left to right," said Mike Amy. "I had felt the previous earthquake in Myanmar (Burma) in a similar way

You should have asked some TV members in Phuket as for them it was more than the head swaying!

Memo to tourists -- squeeze the fruit before you commit to purchase.

(Hey, those two Russkies are very cute. They should be the ones to demand payment, in a better world. Just saying.)

Thanks for the good laugh JT! Classic!

Crocodile Dundee sequel!!!

It is not her fault where she was born or what nationality she have and definitely not her fault been in Bangla road. If she was NOT French then why the French embassy were looking for her and her sister.

I do speak six language and Thai very good but still that doesnt make that I have nationality for all. The story here is very unclear about many things, but for me the name Claude de Crissey sounds very French so it seems more than typo error about the native language her from the gazette more than Mr Claude speak Macaroon Arabic(this is as much assumption as your first post!).

Plank = piece of wood that doesn't think and is only useful to shield something/someone (several planks). So at least they are trying to get their real nature, been a plank.

The Ass U have made this assumption so we should listen to the Ass U as Valentine day in Thailand is very important and I never seen so much fuzz about it, lived in Lebanon, Sweden, The Netherlands but the Thais take the record about this day. Instead of spending money on this poll, they could educate the teenager 12-24!! about safe sex.

The only safe sex is to do it by yourself and fantasize... and its cheaper..!!! And living in Lebanon, Sweden and the Netherlands.. now Thailand .. will not make you an expert on Valentines day. St Valentines day is a Christian event, to celebrate the love and affection between two people.... its really quite a nice event, if you are in love.....

Christian event...true and 90% of the Thai population are Christians? I am not expert on this issue but as I said, Valentine day is a big deal for Thais. Ask anyone who lived here for a while.

More vote buying with tax payer money.

Why the f#ck do you people quote text unnecessarily and with stupid comments???

Basically to get comments like yours.

Don't feed the troll.

She is rude, in another thread she commented that people outside Bangkok can be flushed away. There is another word for this kind of people but they dont have it in the Thai dictionary

Red Shirt Jihadist relief fund is more like it. Just like the Muslim extremists, make payments to the family's of dead suicide bombers. Are they going to give them 72 virgins as a reward as well?

PLEASE let me know where you do find 72 virgins in LOVS (Land Of Vertical Smile), And for the bomber, as long they kill themself and not hurt other, fine for me.

Cant blame that one on the foreigners!!!

Can do, as the wet monsoon comes from the West and farang=Westners....

so "has threatened to kill in the past" and nothing was done to imprison/hospitalise this man?

Well MANY farangs who come here on training holiday or long holiday have this mentality to threaten and behave like they own the place or the road. Myself been in couple of situation, once on a bike when some guy (FARANG) driving zigzag and I just blown the horn for avoiding an accident and he started shouting and talking bad. Other case while I was working in Phuket and some high season dive instructor came and threaten me that he knows many and can get me fixed...After ten years I am still alive and these guys maybe dead or beaten, and that instructor left and never came back.

Unfortunately it is not easy to do a mentality checkup on these guys before entering the country.

Shit people. If you are a decent boxer you do not use a knife... Shit man i hope they take you and you can pay for this.

Agree, AND decent boxers/martial artist DONT brag about what they can or able to do.

The Public Health Ministry has issued a warning to people to protect themselves from infection by eating cooked and hot food, using a middle spoon and washing hands frequently.

I presume that means a METAL spoon

They do mean middle spoon, as some families use their own spoon to take from the curry bowls and so! Not many use a middle spoon.

are we to presume that these individuals were just shot by the authorities for being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

might be this picture.

this picture does seem little odd to me, there is only blood under the bike, and looks like the bodies been placed there, as they lay in perfect position.

First April or not, propaganda or not. Still there should be a law about spreading infectiousness diseases like those, as many said before in this thread there are high probability of blood borne diseases and in many westerner countries laws, it is illegal to intentionally throw blood at someone or something. So not defending any color, this act and the act of attacking a military facility should have made a clear point to the government to take some serious measure. Back at home I would have had a warning shot first if I entered a military facility without any authorization and the second shot I wouldn't be able to run from.

As SCUBA diving instructor in Phuket for almost a decade, I have seen many encounters with speedboats and diving boats not to mention a recent situation near one of the smaller Islands at Phi Phi, where a diving boat passed our head and we were almost on the islands walls doing our starting stop, It was very close for me to get sucked in as I was on the way to let go the safety balloon so BOATS could SEE us and know where we are. It doesnt matter where you are in the water on how close shallow water you are, those boats, jetski will still pass your head, even bigger boats that shouldnt be so close to a rocky coast.

Divers or non-divers, sad to hear about this

Seems that not many replies to this post....wonder why?

Neither the USA or Mexico closed their borders.

I think that it would have a draconian effect on tourism and those who hold jobs associated with tourism,there would be no "High Season" and dramatically reduce bookings that are being made for 2010

What do ya mean no high season. There is no high season, there will be be no high season and it's unlikely there will be another high season.

When you got your head in the sand what does a high season look like

True never been a high season for long time but at least now we can call it H1N1 season

Clarifying the websites translations from dn.se

Swedish woman in 20s is at hospital from gunshot injury last night.

She was hit by a bullet not aimed at her and now is treated for the injuries at the hospital in BKK according from a press release by swedish foreign affairs.

The wounds are not life treating.

The gunshots were at Khao San Road and the woman ended up in between an argument while she was passing by and someone pulled a gun and started shooting and three others were killed.

Her family is informed.

This is according to DN.se and aftonbladet.se

One thing that made me more confused....Pocket PC (PDA). Does the law include them too? Hackers can still use those devices for whatever they are planing to do!!!

About the porn, all those nice background pictures (japanes girls in bikini or sexy farang girls posing) that you can download with sms from mobile or pocket pc and set them as background photos. Arent they included in the illegal act too?

Not concerned....
