I think not! I would imagine if you were Jewish you would know your own history, from pre Moses till now. However alas you know nothing. Quite despicable to appropriate just to spread antiseptic hatred! The devil works in the shadow's, doesn't he?

You should learn history! First the history of the whole area, then get to the 7 day war where Israels neighbours tried to whipe them off the map with unprovoked attack. Then try watching this barbaric attack. Never ever for get Germany tried to eradicate the Jews. Then there are the hundreds and sometimes thousands of rockets fired into Israel every day!

When your young you feel invincible! You take chances without thinking. It's called life!

What's that meant to mean? Are you mad? Do you know anything about the state of brittish justice in the uk at the moment? Being white, working class will see you doing 32 months for saying hurty words. At this present time there are white working class political prisoners in British prisons. Grandfather Peter Lynch 61, committed suicide in prison after being sentenced to 2 years and 8 months and his crime: shouting hurty words at the police. The judge branded him far right! Yes he was white!

Why? The people of Thailand voted him into office at the ballot and not at the end of a gun! Thailand prospered GDP 14% +, (64 baht to Stirling pound), English levels in schools was much higher and life was good for expats. Oh and a Triton 4x4 was only £11,000.

Really! Both my wife and I have and ride big bikes in Thailand. You obviously have to be very careful and expect the unexpected as you do in any vehicle in Thailand. I have found great roads and great friends who share our love of two wheels. But suppose in your eyes we are idiots! Better you live your dull, uneventful life hitting keys in you little safe space!

Double post!

She did nothing wrong. You can not blame her for what others did. The rice pledging scheme in theory was sound and good (Remember Joseph and his technicolour coat) it was the dishonesty of those involved. Plus she did the right thing and called an election but the generals wanted control so rounded up the politicians and held them at gun point. They gave themselves powers that any dictator would dream of, rewrote the constitution and arrested anyone who dared question them. Even removing a brase plack that had been in place for decades. Maybe the question should be "Where did the money go from the sale of the rice?" Also, how can generals become billionaires on a very modest salary?

I can just remember when Rabies turned up in England 1970 and immediately within a 2 mile radius men went out and shot foxes, badgers and any stray dogs. However, we do have rabies in bats. One recent death was a naturist who got bit and stupidly did not go to the doctor. What a way to die! The thought gives me nightmares.

What a shock you are going to have when your rose coloured glasses clear. Light has to be shone on the problems in Thailand for them to be fixed. I personally want Thailand to do better because it will benifit all.

A rather big stretch calling Thailand a democratic country? Military takeover just around the corner and don't forget the current government was not the government that won the election.

Nasty people jump straight to Blaming the foreigner "He must be drunk"! Try looking at the photo. Barrier, that is a little exaggerated, look at it, it's almost knee hight at the large step. Path is also unsafe with several area's one could trip resulting in one tripping. The other fact is its outside a hospital. Maybe he was going to the hospital, tripped and died. This should never have happened, the drain should have been covered, no massive steps and flat smooth sidewalks. Thailand inferstructuer is 3rd world at best except for sky train and MRT. Let us not forget the possibility of being nocked in by a motorbike driving on the path. Lots of possibilities. Stop Blaming foreigners.

Like many on here! Why did he provoke a beat down? Maybe because he is a Brit, or a tourist? In my youth I had many, many fights and those injuries are over the top for a cheeky slap. That's a disgusting attack on someone who was most likely unable to defend himself. I will pray that your in a similar situation soon.

You mean like generals overthrowing and taking a country at the end of a gun? Or maybe ordering the temple shooting and disappearing a very brave nurse? Or what about corruption so extensive and blatant that protesters were thrown in prison. Watches and massive land purchase suspected to be payment!!! If the people elect someone then that person represents the people. This is typical Thai, if loss cheat!

When I was building my house in Thailand I did a lot of research and one thing I found interesting was that US citizens were allowed to own land in Thailand to build a house on due to an agreement they had to make with America. However, upto that date 2010 no land office in Thailand had granted said right of ownership of land to an American!!!

It must be legal! A loophole yes but illegal, no! All this fuss, simple answer is close the loophole and job done! But wait, that would drive away money/business and the collection of those nice fat brown envelopes....

You do know, poodles are working gundog breed so naturally quite muscular breed as with all working on breeds. Better stick with Toy Dog breeds!

It's already happening. Banks in the uk will close your account if not resident in the UK. And, as Farage and many others with the wrong politics also have their Bank accounts closed all the while the people of Britain own controlling shares of a major bank! Banks = legal criminals. If you or I did what banks do we would be locked up for fraud! Imagine for every £ in your wallet you could magic 10 more.

Well said!

Why! For having fun, how dare they!!! They are young and they are enjoying life. Maybe you would be happy if all foreigners left Thailand? Thailands economy would crash! These normal youngsters have spent thousands on a holiday many would agree "a holiday of a lifetime" so enjoy.

And they are new members of the UN. This tells everyone that the UN dream is dead. It should have been kept a closed club. Now it is just currupt to its core.

You can't be that blind? It's all to do with collecting more money. Yes a very good idea about delivery times. However, this will never happen, because there these charges will cause such a backlash. Thai governments hate upsetting the public unless they have guns and tanks, mmmm, nope, infact their also scared of the masses.

This must me a joke!

That's quite a sick comment.

Ev are so dangerous to other road users because of the weight of their battery. Everyone's car insurance in the uk has sky rocked year on year, I wonder why???
