Do those "rats" disguise as men in uniform?

Plenty of rooms at the station. Anytime of the year, they can find it there. He cal!s up the captain, p!ease Bring me my wine.

At the expenses of Thai govt. Checked in the accommodation with bars without booze.

I am not an American, but 1000% agree. Life in the West, has been becoming increasingly hard and uncomfortable whenever we are. With a good health, certain level of financial security, and reasonable level of adaptability to the different culture and laws, this kingdom can well be the paradise to the expat.

Dilemma of pay rise. Higher wage/salary often leads to the increased workload on individuals as the employer cannot afford to keep the same numbers of people. Especially when they are operating on narrow profit margin.

Dire poverty in the neighboring nations(as well in Thailand) are the fertile grounds to those lowlife criminals. Mass of desperate people for cash income are often easy prey to the slavers; many of such victims lack sufficient education. And their ignorance is also well taken advantage of by the organized crimes.

Waikiki beach of Hawaii is also said be cleaned up on regular basis by its municipality.

That asshol*I must be the amphetamines addict. It often causes paranoia and violent behavior. Glad if that thing was hit and squashed by the incoming overloaded truck.

Arrow didn't hit that victim. It was simply the matter of "luck". Targeting the unarmed innocent, and firing the deadly weapon on her is the act of Attempted Murder itself. Even if it missed the mark. If you really believe it won't be deemed an attempted murder, place a can on the head of anyone else and shoot an arrow aiming it. How the police interprets that act?

Glad that lowlife was arrested in this kingdom. Not in the criminal heaven back home where no realistic punishment for that lunatic. Senseless attempted murderer deserves realistic harsh enough suffering time, instead of lukewarm perpetrator-friendly "rehabilitation process".

Thai ID card photo "didn't look like her". ID photos on taxi/bus drivers registration rare!my look like themselves though.

Casino always sucks local money out of the region. Sucks in organized crimes. Easily turns the lowlife idiotic gamble addicts into readily available criminal l reserves to their recruiters. Creates small numbers of job opportunities to the locals. But their overall losses are far greater.

Probably when this kingdom implements a realistic enough penalty; car confiscation on the spot

This asshol* deserves a big hole on his skull.

Never a dull moment in Pattaya?

They pretty much look like a Human Shield. If any of them ever got killed/wounded by the attacks from Thai side, it will make the perfect propaganda tool with which they can condemn this kingdom. Also able to gain sympathy and support from outside own country. In addition, it will greatly appeal to the nationalists among themselves. Very strategic move indeed.

Jatuporn Prompan. He is the head of Former PAD (People's Alliance for Democracy). Diehard Anti-Thaksin movement leader. Clash between his group and Thaksin's led to the military takeover in Sep. 2006. Also similar political revolt (by PDRC) against Yinglack govt in 2014(BKK Shutdown) triggered coup in the same year. Another military "intervention" might be looming. As history of modern Thai politics often repeats itself.

One uniqueness of Thai coup. Often ends bloodless. When they kicked out Thaksin in 2006, military takeover happened while he was abroad.

Smoking Skunk? Lol.

You mean this?

Another coup risks tourism? May not really be. Do you remember what previous military ruler ordered just after his takeover(around May 2014)? Men in uniform with rifles and shotguns deployed in streets were told to look as friendly as possible to visitors. Also not to hesitate to be photographed by them. That can be unique tourist attraction again.

Hi, thank you for your post and interesting remark(parents' belief/acts). The name of this kingdom in old time: Siam that means millions of rice paddies; food abundance. That is why news of someone died of hunger stuns the readers this much.

Very sad indeed. Nearly 20 years in Thailand by now, haven't really heard anyone starved to death. Have met several homeless people. But they rarely looked really skinny. Even street cats and dogs are often plump here. The real suffers are sometimes "invisible" as mentioned in the article.

Now looks like getting even more distant. Pheu Thai govt recently lost coalition partner.
