Confusing. The cops now say that the blood on the pants turned out to be dirt stains. ( Bangkok Post). So why are they still including it in their premature speculations

Translation only ?? Has anyone on say facebook reading a Thai typed comment, and pressed the translate to English button ??? it is complete and utter near non readable rubbish that does not even equate to English---example Bing. Anything in this land translated is never near the original, how on earth can posters here on TVF reply correctly.

Some of us read Thai. That's how.

So these guys presented themselves to the Deputy Interior Minister claiming to be some of the Men in Black ...yet he apparently made no attempt to have them arrested or entrapped or somehow detained !! That sounds beyond stupid to me.

Incurable

So guns don't kill people or so they say, well this one sure as hell did ! Maybe she ought to try martial arts instead. Poor kid dumb parents.

Double post sorry, but I still think the 'government' and immigration system has shot itself in the foot, leg and goolies by not creating a new visa for farang who can make ample amounts of moolah on the internet legally, it is easily done in many different ways, and it takes away no jobs from the oh so precious Thai work force, and the money goes straight into the economy. Why have they not addressed this properly?

Because verifying income and calculating tax payments would be very hard, if not impossible, to verify.

All governments demand taxes.. Thailand would be no different.

You said it LL.

These nomads want to dodge taxes. That's all there is to it.

'nuff said

You don't know all these 'nomads' and you sure don't speak for them or me or anyone else.Some people just want to be able to work online without the risk of breaking any laws and are more than happy to pay taxes here. If I'm doing some editing or writing work it's not taking work off a Thai, if I'm on a beach down south as I work it's because that's where I choose to be and thanks to technology I am able to do so. It's got nothing to do with not paying taxes or paying taxes .<deleted>.

The recalcitrant one returns. I miss your Aussie bashing you bigoted old man

Khun Vichai your' companies activities have already trashed the reputation of the Thung Kha company , it's subsidiaries and it's hi so board of directors. You've clearly chosen to cut corners ,stuff up the locals food and water resources, you've caused and denied culpability for widespread hitherto unknown health problems amongst the locals..... And you're worried about protecting your companies' reputation ? You're priorities as a businessman might be right but they also make you a first class ##%#*+#.

&lt;deleted&gt; Thais gave been chewing that stuff fior centuries . Leave them alone to live their lives in peace !

... and still there are people on here who suggest that there is nothing wrong with "soft" drug usage.
 
Such soft drugs usage can easily lead addicts to more potent alternatives, ultimately ending in incidents like this.
 
I firmly believe that all "recreational" drugs, and more dangerous alternatives should remain banned and pushers jailed for long periods for supplying such dangerous substances...!

Meth and marijuana have zero to do with each other : one messes with your mind and body, the other cures a multitude of diseases. ( yes there is a large body of science to back that up ) . Read research and learn my friend

Well they weren't born this way. The culture sucks them in and we all know about peer pressure as teenagers. I've met plenty of kids like this here thru my own kids ..they do things in groups that they wouldn't do as individuals. I can't see any prospect of change here in the current top down climate. There are programs in the states that I've seen and participated in that take kids from jails and juvenile homes for a 10 day on site program where kids get some pretty good insights into how why and what got them where they are. The results reduced recidivism about 80 - 90% and actually turned a lot of kids lives around. Give kids a better alternative to the endless mindless tribal gang mentality and they'll take it if it's presented in a way that makes sense to them. Not all but many of them will.
