First, I felt more or less sympathetic(as the Victim of Circumstances)with the snatcher reading this: he began working at a restaurant in the area. However, the restaurant was affected by the heavy flood last year, causing both him and the restaurant owner to encounter financial difficulties. Wongtawan said his employer could not pay his salary, forcing him to borrow money from local loan sharks. He was unable to earn enough to pay off debt and to cover the daily expenses, so he committed the snatch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- It was quickly gone after reading the below: Wongtawan had been arrested seven times before for the thefts of valuables and motorcycles in various areas across Chiang Mai. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just a Low Life Career Criminal. Not worth any sympathy.

Thailand Poised to Implement Carbon Tax to Curb Emissions

All the Hell Breaks Loose here, too? E.G. Absurd level of energy price hike(as happened in Europe). Ordinary people now have to struggle for sufficient heating during the winter. Or just another example of Thai phenomenon; talking, but not happening(doing)? I personally prefer the Latter. -
3 foreign men attack Phuket tuk tuk driver over parking dispute
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Those bastar*s, seem like Arabs(from the 3rd photos). Often demonstrating explicit arrogance toward the ”Lesser People” from their perspective, while they behave opposite to the wealthier/more powerful. I, Personally witnessed such a scene in 1998, during my first trip to Thailand. It happened while on the large shared bus, from Phuket to Sura Thani(unsure if they still operate though). 3 men from Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain (from the driver's passenger manifest I glanced). There were then only 4 passengers(3 Arabs and myself), so unmistakable. Despite clear on-board sign of No Smoking, all of them immediately lit their tobaccos when the bus started. As well as ignoring driver's words to stop it. Instead of extinguishing their cigarettes, they returned snear. Then the driver opened up the bus door close to them while the bus in motion at 80km/hour. I now recall, they better behave themselves while here, before they meet some painful lesson. When Thais really crack, they sometimes don't hesitate to resort to some drastic measure. One slice of Thai society quite a few expats know about if they are here long enough. Study destination, it is the one essential preparation while planning any travel abroad. Travelers' ignorance, might sometimes costs dearly... -

Hi, I didn't really intend to post a harsh criticism. Your dream is a kind of common fantasy almost everyone else had At Least Once thought about as well... -

There is one thing I have noticed about human history. Negative phenomenon like ”Threat" and "Shortage" have actually promoted mankind's evolution; urged them building a system to counter and overcome such obstacles. Developing weapons for easier hunting and defense of their own(against the enemy within without). Learning agriculture to secure food supply year around(store the harvest for cold winter) . Forming a country/nation to boost their capability as the collective. Inventing a currency for easier exchange of goods and services. These essential needs have also modernized and updated. And we can never forge/get off) these things whatever time passes. If there is an unrealistically Easy Life, there has to be someone/something that makes it possible. And it just doesn't pop out of nothing. So we cannot live like the first man and woman in Genesis. And even Adam and were eventually kicked out of their "Heaven" . After their bleach of contract with their supporter. If the world would not support just 2 of them for free, how can we expect billions(current world's population) more to be fed for free? -
Too few lavatories in Thai airports? So foreign tourists are Forced to Pee in the wrong places? I have reasonably well travelled by air. However, I have never felt any shortage of toilets at any airports. Have never seen any Heavily Qued Up W.C. either. How many W.C. they got, the bad mannered often does it.

That is One Major Strategy of China's ruling class. Make as many as other countries dependent on PRC money and products(e.g. becoming a major holder EU and US bonds. And main supplier of the cheap merchandise to Walmart; America's retail giant). Even though it is also the Self-Binding String to them. While today's China is the 2nd largest economic powerhouse in the world. Still, heavily reliant on the western consumers(the biggest is US) while they supposedly have 1.4 billion population.

In ancient China, always a war broke out when one dynasty falls; massacre and mass destruction took place then. And it has been repeated over and over and over again... Why China's Post-Dynasty wars are regarded worse than the rest? Simply because of its scale of deaths and destruction were far greater than any others. Even though both the west and the Asian country like Japan had sometime war-torn age in their history, theirs were a lot smaller than China's. China has often been regarded as the place where "Everything is counted by millions". So as their casualties caused by their internal conflicts...

It takes little efforts to find out how bad Chinese administration is... Starving 35 million(or more?) of own people to death in 1960. Mass killing of own people in 1989(Tiananmen Massacre; armed suppression of the pro-democracy rally in Beijing). Currently, rounding up minority races into forced labor at garment factories. Just a few minutes of finger tip search will get you heaps of such info...
