Bangkok will NOT be flooded was the promise..................wrong AGAIN ..................!!!

No, if you read the article it clearly said no flooding, only some....... "inundation"

Its called apathy.  Add to that the fact they are moslems and immediately their plight is totally ignored thanks to the USA propaganda machine.

And the Montagnards....such a shame.  Stateless people persecuted in Vietnam because of their helping the USA during the Vietnam war....not recognised for their efforts and this is their reward.  All straight out of the CIA's bag of dirty tricks.....again!

They won't unlock it whatever is the reason.

 

 

That is not correct.  Although it may be a different story to mine when not using your real name.

Somebody didnt like an anti USA policy comment I made on FB and rather than confront me with an argument they reported me as using a false name which was rubbish.  I use my real name however I will not give facebook my personal info such as hometown, telephone number, age, occupation etc because FB is far to intrusive.  They locked my account and demanded my govt ID with photo to unlock.  Their excuse was it was important that my friends knew for sure it was me they were connecting with.  I replied saying I would not give my ID etc for reasons of security and privacy and therefore they have two choices:

1. That if they  are so worried about my friends they should contact them to verify I was who I said I was. All my FB friends have met me face to face or are family etc.

or

2.  That they delete my account immediately, completely, and permanently full stop!

Over the next few days they tried several times to talk me into providing my govt ID by saying I could block out some of my personal details but I just stood firm and repeated the two choices.

Within a week they emailed me saying my account was unlocked and I was free to log in again!!???

You need to stand firm. 

Dear members,

Since the time that the new owners took over this site I have been increasingly dissatisfied with Thaivisa.com.  The recent addition of the adblocker detector forcing members to either twiddle their thumbs for 30 seconds or disable adblocker and put up with an unacceptable mount of rubbish adverts is the straw that broke the camels back.  I have had enough of this bullsh#t.  Less than 5 minutes of research online will show you easy ways to get around Thaivisas manipulative attempts at controlling what we view but thats missing the point.  I could  follow the smart arse comments advising not to log in, post or comment...and I will certainly do that.  However I also wish to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list as I no longer wish to put up with this nonsense.  There are afterall other expat sites.

In short the purpose of this post is to ask how to unsubscribe from the mailing list but more so to voice my opinion as a form of protest which I believe all dissatisfied members should do rather than just walking away quietly.  Thank you for your time.

Vegemite and lettuce toasted sandwiches for lunch.  I dont eat breakfast, only coffee and LM daengs.

Why?  Whats the point when the rest of the world will soon be speaking Thai according to our esteemed PM?

Nope, it's the police who doesn't dare to reprimand those bad selfish drivers.

Because a lot of these vans are owned by the police!

Bloody Putin again!!

Will they be open on Sundays??

Netanyahu corrupt......I would doubt it....too busy stealing land from Palestinians!

I'm told that all the vans up my way are owned by police!   Ive seen them even load unsecured motorcycles in them almost on peoples laps......I'd hate to see them brake suddenly!

Shame it didn't take his arm off.

 

I am still confused by the Kao Yai story, where did that happen? I am one of only a handful of wildlife photographers to have ever photographed these animals in the wild and am the first to have filmed them, so I am assuming this was some sort of tourist attraction, not a wild croc near a waterfall as reported. In the wild these animals will avoid us like the plague and we are not on their menu, they are incredibly shy creatures.

You must surely be referring only to the Siamese crocodile??

You guys were late to the party again. If the UK had folded in 1940 the Yanks would be talking German now, and don't forget you made us pay back every dollar for the "help".

Ha ha, we, and the whole world should be thankful you turned up though...

They arrived after the Japs and Nazis were almost exhausted and only because they didnt want to miss out on their slice of the cake.

The US govt wanted to enter the war but the US people didnt.  Pearl Harbour was exactly what the govt needed in order to turn the public's opinion.  They had a pretty good idea it was going to happen:  they had earlier depth charged a mini sub near the harbour entrance and the main Jap fleet had not long disappeared but last seen heading  that way.  Whatever, its so sad that so many innocent lives were lost thinking they were there to defend their country.

Passport fees are comparable with other countries but Notarial Fees do nor exist. You just find a Notary Public and they do it for free. They are getting harder to find so a J.P. can notarise papers etc. still no fee, and yes they are getting harder to find too. Most local courthouses have one on duty and some public libraries have also along with some chemists at your local Pharmacy. 

In Thailand?

Sounds like the proper loving compassionate school to educate your kids as long as you understand the schools goals are not educating your child to a high standard but not losing face for the school the school is always the number one priority and importance not the child.    

More to the point, money, and the potential to make money, is the number one priority.  I am talking private schools, I have no experience with govt schools.

Nothing compared to what they do to each other. Rampant child molestation, spousal abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse etc.

Yes youre correct, but its a symptom of the severe oppression and hopelessness they are forced to live with.  I am Australian, proudly Australian, but I am at the same time ashamed to say it is the most racist country I have ever witnessed...and I might add I lived in apartheid South Africa for nearly a year!

If the incident occurred as reported, hopefully the parents will follow up by contacting Police & Education dept for actions against those involved. 

Disgraceful.

Unfortunately this will probably not happen.  The school I used to teach caught a pedophile a while back, or more correctly the parents complained after reports from their children.  Something like a dozen parents confronted the school and demanded he be sacked.  Two of the parents wanted the police brought in.  The school, along with the rest of the parents, talked these two out of reporting the guy.  Seems these parents preferred to keep fooling their friends and neighbours into believing their kids went to a very good hi-so school and the school agreed in order to not lose face.  No one seemed to care that this guy would most probably re-offend at the next school he worked because they didnt report him???

They Taze him in the balls 'till he says the truth...

But win motorcycles generally don't drive around looking for customers. They have a station and if they 'trespass' on another groups turf there maybe beef.

Yeah good point (no, not the tazar, the station!).

CCTV at the end of Soi Rambutri outside the Sri Ayuthaya bank clearly show the man driving around looking for a potential victim. 

How do they differentiate between the above and a motor cycle taxi driver riding around looking for a potential customer ?  Was he salivating heavily??

Not sure related or not, but our village head showed up this morning with a form for my wife to complete.  Apparently he was visiting every residence where a foreigner resides.  The form wanted name of foreign resident, how long he/she had been living there, and whether working or not.  I asked about the forms origin, ie police, army, immigration? and was told government ie the local ampur.  I live in Isaan.

Wonder why Thai kids are stupid about English ? Here is the answer.

You make it very obvious you have no idea at all.  Better luck next time.
