    Absolutely different to the rice farmers in the Central Plains as almost to a man they burn off the stubble. Couple that with sugar cane burning and come dry season the air quality is appalling.

    Typically it's a small, fast warship designed to protect other ships in the fleet.

    This happened about 10 years ago. At the time it was considered very harsh especially as his wife had a daughter on the way.

    He's recently finished his six year sentence. Served every day so must have upset somebody not to get any amnesty

    One of wifeys cousins must be feeling cheesed off at this news. He was sentenced to 6 years for one pill.

    Goodness gracious great balls of fire

    I think you are confusing Krue Se Mosque massacre with the TakBai Incident. Tak Bai was a protest outside a police station there in protest of the detention of six men. The army detained about 1300 protesters and then transported them stacked in the back of army trucks for five hours to an army camp. 78 died of suffocation and organ failure.

    Is there anything else more satisfying than slipping a finger into a Knights Ring?

    Then Army Chief Gen Prawit Wongsuwong was in overall control of military operations at the time perhaps somebody can try and wake him from his nap time to shed some light on the event.

    People's Alliance for Democracy, somebody had a sense of irony naming that bunch of things for sure.

    No but then I don't aspire to be a journalist.

    Quite possibly although not proof reading a Google translation is still lazy reporting.

    Reading the article, although it's badly written and not very clear, I think she was a passenger on the moped. Helmet is not mentioned at all.

    When we were building our house 15 years ago the electrician asked if we wanted a live wire around the property to deter Intruders. The three options available were 'a shock', 'put in hospital' and 'death'. We decided against installing an electric fence.

    These tasks usually have a time limit although no idea what the one used for this is. When I worked for UK Police sometimes saw the recruits taking part in their fitness test which was only a 15 minute shuttle run.

    Second paragraph, first sentence, '10 kilometer run'.

    Only with a plastic bag over their head.

    Yeah with those haircuts the undercover police and army personel were so easy to spot trying to infiltrate the student marches.

    That thought did cross my mind 555

    That's for sure. Several years ago my wife and I were at one of their concerts in a nearby village when one of her friends came running over and said that I should leave right now as a few of the locals were planning to beat up the farang in the audience. I made a hasty retreat and got home unscathed.

    Surely if their last concert is on April 1st they're disbanding in April not March.

    I used to ride with a couple of the local cycling clubs and can say they were all very responsible riders, rode single file except when overtaking and all had front and rear lights on their bicycles. They know more than any foreigner the danger to cyclists on Thai roads and regularly advised me of those dangers. If you don't have time to react to a hazard when taking a bend you're driving too fast simple as that.

    Good idea to put the Chinese sub purchase on hold after reports 55 Chinese submariners have died in an accident to one of their submarines.

    "raising suspicions among security staff" seems to translate to doing <deleted> all in this case.

    The committee that sets up the scheme hasn't even been formed yet so not sure where the 6 months comes from.
