Read the article again it says exactly what he was arrested for.

"Despite the earthquake hitting a staggering 8.2 on the Richter scale, only one incomplete building collapsed in Chatuchak." Is the writer suggesting the earthquake still measured 8.2 in Bangkok when the epicenter was hundreds of kms away? Very misleading article, if an 8.2 earthquake was actually centered on BKK the destruction would be catastrophic.

".....and an individual causing disturbances within the hospital premises." I heard the hired an Israeli for extra realism.

Looking at some of the pics of damaged hi rise/condos on FB I think we'll be waiting for the market to stabilize before looking for anything to buy.

Is this a section of the new Hi Speed Railway?

Kanchanaburi does have several fault lines, fortunately minor, along which quakes do happen. Biggest quake we had was a 5.5 maybe about 10 years ago. Centred on Sisawat up on the Burmese border. That one made the news as it also got the high-rise blocks in Bangkok swaying. Bangkok really does have a major problem being located in an area susceptible to liquefaction during a strong quake.

Simple, sign on the entrance 'No Chinese'.

Melting icebergs do not raise sealevel. Melting glaciers and other ice and snow mass above sealevel are what cause sealevel rise.

"The two children now face a heartbreaking future, as family members arrange funeral rites for both victims." The shooter is not a victim and the pos should be taken straight to the local landfill.

My grandfather was one of five brothers who served in the armed forces in WW2. He was a naval gunner in home waters and on the Arctic Convoys. He was decorated personally by the King in 1942 for shooting down three German aircraft whilst his own gun crew were killed and wounded after being shot at. I am immensely proud of all my families service. You are a perfect example of know nothing bigots spouting nonsense on something they know nothing about.

Great news, pretty sure a UK-Thai trade deal will make up the more than £30billion lost annually by UK leaving the EU.

Absolutely vomit inducing article.

"The most severely affected individuals received up to 200,000 baht, while others received varying amounts based on the extent of their injuries and losses." Some people's lives really aren't valued very highly here, so sad.

This is exactly what F1 DOES NOT need, yet another dreadful street circuit with a race that is just another procession with minimal overtaking.
