Som num na You made your own bed Tarit, lie in it.

And some Thai guy photobombs the pic. He wasn't the Good Samaritan !

Probably on their way to a game of Bridge the cheeky sods

Well that would explain why no one takes any pics of the General.

Whoopee Doo He sounds more like a bit of an idiot than a hero

And the rage continues. All of us descendents of immigrants, many of whom arrived by boat, without visas, some settlers armed with guns and prejudice and murderous christian values who wiped out the locals without a thought, some more recent refugees, some like a few of my ancestors fleeing religious wars in Prussia and poverty in Ireland. I know shitloads of immigrants in Oz, mostly European, Asian and African, and some elderly pre WW2 German Jews most of them have started businesses, some very successful business, and have created jobs, in some cases a lot of jobs, none of them came looking for welfare, all of them looking to build a life for themselves like my ancestors did.

I understand the concern about having people turn up whose first and main allegiance is to Allah. But that doesn't mean you treat children or toddlers like shit <deleted>. Australia is better than that ! At least I thought we were

Adverse Possession

A method of gaining legal title to real property by the actual, open, hostile, and continuous possession of it to the exclusion of its true owner for the period prescribed by law. Also known as Squatter's Rights. since Thai law is based on US law, there's a good chance that Adverse Possession applies here.

What the govt is using is the right of "imminent domain". Usually, this is used to put through a highway or airport, not to make a tourist walkway. However, it could be argued that the riverside belongs to the public, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a meter of public riverside space along the Chao Praya.

' Imminent domain' ? Spellcheck is your friend, your Eminence.

I don't much like Trump, but I'd prefer him to that christian fundamentalist Ted Cruz. He's a f#%# lunatic !

That's sad. RIP to the Lady.

In a sense Buddhism IS under threat in Thailand, at least in the 3 southernmost violence afflicted provinces. As is typical when Islam starts to dominate, ethnic and religious cleansing of non-Muslims occurs to the point where eventually 100% of the population becomes Muslim. In the three southernmost provinces, 80% of the population is already Muslim and out of Thailand's 3200 or so mosques, 2100 of them are located in these provinces despite only being home to 18% of Thailand's Muslim population (the vast majority of Thais incorrectly think that 90% or so of all Thai Muslims live there). I heard from a Thai based expat that the Thais are planning on building a mega Wat in one of these three southernmost provinces, perhaps to counter the growing Islamic (and anti-Thai separatist) influence in the region. I could imagine that there will be major religious divisions and possibly violence if this

While I'm not sure it's always been this way (always as in historically over the last couple of hundred years since Islam first arrived in Indonesia/Malaysia/southern Thailand) but around 30% of all southern Thais are Muslim. In fact, even in Phuket there are as many mosques as Buddhist temples 37 vs. 38 (based on figures from a few years ago), while in Krabi you'd be hard pressed to find the Buddhist temples (there are some but not many) whereas mosques are everywhere. Even as far north as Ranong, everywhere from around 50km south of A. Muang is predominanently Muslim. I remember counting 11 mosques driving in from Phang-nga, but only 3 Buddhist temples. A. Muang and northern parts of Ranong are predominanently Buddhist though.

While I don't condone violence against anyone, if Islam becomes even more dominant than it currently is, especially in southern Thailand, the consequences to society could be quite significant. I wouldn't be surprised if Buddhist monks lead the charge against the islamization of Thailand, as has been happening in neighboring Myanmar. However, in Myanmar Buddhism seems to be in a much stronger position than in Thailand from my own observations.

There has been no Islamization in Myanmar, they've been living mostly in their own state minding their own business. The so-called buddhists leading the violence against them are monks in name only.

So the Muslim Bengalis who call themselves Rohinga and have been invading the country are a figment of imagination?

They are certainly a figment of yours...which country have they been invading ?

What is happening in Southern Thailand is happening around the globe...Southern Philippines have been dealing with Muslim terrorists/separatists unsuccessfully for decades...Mid East, Africa, Americas, Europe....they are relentless, have little regard for human life...including their own...and want to take the entire world back to the male dominated stone age where women and infidel are to be used and abused as slaves...

Kudos to the folks who stand their ground against these inhumane animals...(OK, to all you bleeding hearts...there are good law abiding Muslims...I have just not seen many stand up and denounce their radical brothers)

I have just not seen many stand up and denounce their radical brothers)

I have.

So have I, but then again, if all you watch is western media you're not likely to see much.

Is al-Azhar teaching that attacks against kuffirs is wrong?

What about Khomeini?

Perhaps the Salafis are?

Lol have you ever heard Khomanei exort Iranians / muslims to kill kafirs ?

No didnt think so.

Have you heard any of the current bunch of running for US president call for the bombing of Iran ? Yeah I thought so..... trying to lump Iran in with Islamic terrorism is borne out by rhetoric but not facts.

Best wishes to you Molly. <deleted> take care mate !

That statement hardly makes sense at all.

DNA results are pending..Hmmm it Koh Tao it only takes a day.

Whoops.

Some bad governance going on under this mob

Scum bag, no surprise to me.

Get rid of the lot now.

Thailand does just find with out these people.

Convicted him already have ya lol

The only difference between her and the military is that while she's a relative newcomer they have been screwing the taxpayers for decades and they're not subject to any oversight.

Slightly off topic but I'd like to see her modeling Victoria Secrets latest line and Prayuts cabinet dressed as the Village People. Then I could take them all a bit more seriously

They've had years to translate defense documents into Thai : what a crap excuse, proceed and let them scramble to get their sh## together.

'Benefit national security , disease control ' give me a break !

Yo it's all cool pass the bong Somchai

He's Prime Ministerial material
