@ WinnieTheKhwai,

Sorry Sir, maybe I was not clear.

The TV is at the restaurant and at the guest house check in counter. You have to pass it going to the toilet but it is in public area. We were sitting about 2 tables away and, while I eat, I don't want to listen to those Mafiosi speeches.

Dear WinnieTheKhwai, do you know what they talking about? Do you UNDERSTAND it? Unfortunately for me, I speak/understand Thai and let me tell you this: I have never heard such cruel bad language at ASTV. ASTV not even comes at 10% to it.

I don’t know where you come from but, in any Western country, if you use those words and tactics I hear on the Red Channel TV, that channel will be closed the next day and the people in jail. Believe me. It will NOT survive for 1 day. It is dangerous and disgusting and has NOTHING to do with democracy or free speech from poor people. NOTHING AT ALL.

Do me, and others, a favor: record and let someone translate it. Not a normal Thai because they will be ashamed to tell you.

@ parryhandy,

Why you ask the Red Shirts to answer your questions?

Why you ask them to think?

If you live in Thailand for some years then you know Thai people CANNOT THINK.

If you live in Thailand for some years then you know that there are NO fair elections. It is called vote buying. Last election up to 2.000 Baht per vote. Thai people like the money but not the work to get the money nor the abailibility to think about things. It is their culture.

Futhermore, all Red Shirts are payed to demonstrate. ALL. Up to 1.000 Baht a day by Thaksin to bring him back. Their leaders are staying at the Hyatt Regency in suites at 20.000 Baht a night while the crowd is sleeping, cheering, urinating on the streets. They took all ID"s from the Reds Shirts so they cannot go home.

Red Shirts just follow the stupid Hitler orders from the leaders because they receive a salary to do the most bad and stupid things.

End of story. This is Thailand and no one can change. Only long time and good education. Two things Thai people don't want.

Going to the toilet at “Daret’s” guesthouse near Thapae Gate, I noticed the owners and some staff was watching the shouting/yelling Hitler style, “Red Shirt” TV.

Asking if they were supporters, I got the arrogant and aggressive answer “yes, is something wrong with that?”.

More and more businesses openly offend customers by watching, supporting the “red shirt war” paid for by Thaksin.

For sure, we will not go there anymore.

5555 hahahaha,

To all "farang" living in Isaan.... Pls open your ears and eyes before you all speak nonsense. If you live there so long, if your wife/grlf is from there and if you're a bit clever, just a bit, you should know better.

First. There is a lot of money going to Isaan but where it goes????? Look at the pujabahn's. In every village or moo-bahn there is such a big corruption, so big. Unfortunately, Isaan people not want to talk about it. They not want to see it and they not want to fight against it.... Talk to them, talk to all of them, you will see, you will hear..... it is "mai penrai". For a long time it is like that, and they will tell you the same every time; "we cannot change it". Every time, over and over again...............

It is the education, attitude and corruption; those 3 things only. Reserve more money for Isaan and, for sure, it will not change. It will never change as long as the attitude is like that and as long there is so much corruption.

Second. Look around you, 90% not likes to work there. Talk to them and you will hear; It is too hot, it is too difficult, the land is no good here, we have no money.......etc etc..... It would say, work harder, don't gamble. dont drink that much and fight the corruption. Talk to them and you will see. I did it hundreds of times and I will not do it anymore because one cannot change them...... for me it is also "mai penrai". hahaha

This government is so weak... of course, because half of them are still good friends to Mr.Takki. This government will wait until Thai people starts to kill each other. Then, only then, they will say, we are not to blame, we did everything we could to end the protests in a non-violent way.

This has NOTHING to do with poor/rich but all with the money/power of Takki. Unfortunately these "poor" see not clear because they are PAID to do what they do. They cannot go home as the leaders took their ID's and refuses to give it back. While on the streets in the heat, there leaders flying around in private jets from one exotic hotel to another. The other leaders, while not on stage, stay at their suites at on of the best hotels in Bangkok (Hyatt Regency). On stage and from abroad they tell the "poor" how they feel with them and are part of them.

Get real, this is just pathetic and shame full for those paid sheep's whom not want to think for one minute about what they are doing. They just, brainwashed, keep on following the most ridiculous "orders" from the perverts and asking for their 'salary"

Shame shame to all. The "poor", the "rich" the government, the farang media not telling the truth.

That building was in structural work condition for about 15 years. There were no windows, no doors no painting, no maintenance. Nothing. On Changklan Road, opposite the Empress hotel is a building in the same condition as the "Trio" was. Be careful, under the paintings and other finishing works, hides sometimes a lot of problems.

@ kurtgruen,

Agree, for 100%.

Thank you all for the comments.

I have learned a lot.

However, still don't know what to do with the malpractice.

Regards.

These doctors are in a big hospital just outside of the city.

Suffering from severe Gout attacks almost every month, I decided to go to the hospital.

The doctor doctor prescribes me 3 different medications:

-1. To stop the attack; Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

-2. Omeprazole. To neutralize the diarrhea from Diclofenac

-3. For the pain. Colchincin, a toxic natural product and secondary metabolite.

I had to go back after 10 days.

However, I felt better after 1 week and stopped taking the drugs as I didn’t like/trust Colchicin. The Gout came back immediately and I went back to the hospital. The doctor prescribes me the same 3 medications again.

I went back again after 10 days, and by then the attack was gone and I had to stop taking the 3 daily pills. He gave me a new drug; Allopurinol together with Colchicin once more, to reduce the uric acid in my blood. I have high levels of uric acid since I was young (levels at +8). I told him I did not trust Colchicin as there are some bad things about this drug on the net.

They took my blood and uric acid was at 8.3.

I had to go back after 2 months.

By then, my uric acid was at 6.7 and he told me just to take 1 medication only from today on. It was Colchicin. I told the people at the pharmacy that I did not like that drug but she replied “don’t worry, the doctor knows what he is doing”.

I had to go back after 3 months.

Yesterday I went back and it was another doctor. He told me that I had to take Allopurinol to reduce the uric acid levels and better not take Colchicin anymore, as that drug is more for the pain only.

Apparently the first doctor gave me the wrong drug and I was taking them for 3 months. Colchicin is very harmful to the kidneys and I have problems there already some time.

Doctor nr. 2 told me not to talk about this mistake.

Now; what should I do? Or just do nothing and leave it like that?

Man O man........ Is this for real?

How can "farang" men be so naive (stupid)?

Thailand is a paradise for ill intentioned "farangs" but remember, it is also a paradise for ill intentioned Thai ladies.

Once I met a Thai lady having a monthly income from 7 different "farangs". Each paying her 15.000. That makes 105.000 Baht a month. All of that money went to her Thai husband who was a drinker and gambler.

She was even proud of herself that she could manage doing that. For her, as for so many other ladies, it was just normal.

One direct question. Would you pay any of the ladies you know in your country about 3.000 euro or about 4.500 US$ a month? Would you? Just give it to her and pay extra for the food and living costs to her? Would you?

Get real man.

Alright, I had a round by my own as no one showed up.

I think you guys thought it was an April 1st fool joke… and mhmhmh it was.

I had a good round however.

Cheers, have a good night.

I got a phone call from the Alpine Golf Course (formerly Chiang Mai-Lamphun) manager yesterday.

Michael told me that the low season starts today and runs until September 30th. During this low season, he would like to have a weekly sports-day at 500 Baht only, just like some 5 years ago.

However, not knowing if this will be a success, he wants to do a test today.

Alpine; as being a part of the Thaksin Shinawatra’s assets now, is normally being played by the “high-so’s” only. Not guy’s like you and me.

So, if you are up to a cheap game at an expensive high-so course, join me today at Alpine.

See you,

Nirun.

Yes, it is very slow and strange. I have 3BB and impossible to download. It starts at 45 and drops to 10 kbs immediately before it stops after a few minutes. I have 4G! I can do absolutely nothing.

3BB started with HD-TV on the very same cable we have internet with. I think we will go back to the speeds from a while ago......= zero speed.

This morning there was the news on Thai channels that someone took 1 billion from Thaksin's seized assets at the bank.... Is this true? What will they do with the bank and the man/people who took it?

Strange story.. is the seized money not frozen enough?????

Any body knows more?

@ OzMick,

Yes, right for 200% but

HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE deaf, blind robot REDS???????????????

Paying my monthly bill at the 3BB (ex Maxnet) office at Airport Plaza, I noticed a promotion for HD-TV over the cable. Inquiring more, it seems they will start sending HD-TV over the Internet-cable.

Does someone know the effect from this on our Internet-connections? To me it seems, the more you transfer by a cable, the more congestion and problems you create. Since HD-TV is huge packets, will this affect our, already slow, speeds even more?

Com'on "Prodriver".....

You HAVE to tell them. Now they think they can do it every single time a farang walks in. Damned, I make a scene every time to help/protect other farang coming after me. It is your duty towards other people/farangs. It happens more and more in Thailand due to the "mai penrai" attitude of so many farangs waiving and smiling with their cash.

Sorry, I cannot agree with you and don't like it at all.

Boksida has it right.

I have done Chiang Mai - Loei and back about 30 times. The given road is the best and around 480 km. Don't drive over Phitsanulok as that will add about 100km.

Have a safe trip.

It happened a few times to me, but never they gave me the items(s) for free. They just returned the difference to me.

The monk throw blood over 3 soldiers and you see it clearly on TV. At least one glass per soldier.

Hope they will show it again.

This evening the TV news was that the police was questioning the monk.

Just watched channel 3 this morning and look.....

The head-monk from SriBunruang Temple (Chiang Mai) was throwing blood (collected from the red shirts) at the soldiers at Kavila military base near the Ping River.

This is not real and can happen in Thailand only.

Bah. I hope this will make the world news.

More and more free "food commercials" are served to us on a daily basis.

Bah...

@ dave2

No, I am not sure. It could have been the concert you are talking about. I live about 1 km away from the police station.
