  1. Clearly none living in an Issaan village; having to find THREE uniforms (including military ones); for four children in a family; with no father!
  2. As a largely ignored writer I always check the credits at the end of TV series/movies. To fulfil my ambitions, I realise I will need to cease being male; old; white.
  3. Can't find this anywhere on the NET.
  4. AKA hiding the money trail better.
  5. As a retired English teacher I'd love such a job. It amazes me how even the biggest companies never seem to run their press releases/slogans past a native English speaker. The results hilariously demean these companies.
  6. 'Maggie Moore(s)' is a brilliant movie; a great story with lots of interesting characters.
  7. Lots of money has changed hands for various feasibility studies done over the years. No way are they going to do 9+ kilometres in 3 years. Look at the mess they are making of Thepprasit and Sukhumvit and Rot Fai. The police will never allow anything to hurt their mafia buddies in the meterless taximeters.
  8. The 'writer' - 'Nattapong Westwood is a Bangkok-born writer who is half Thai and half Aussie. He studied in an international school in Bangkok and then pursued journalism studies in Melbourne.' This sample is not a good advert for the above establishments; nor his place of work!
  9. have one last jolly down Soi 6 before losing their job.
  10. Many use the monkhood as a refuge against criminal charges.
  11. Are these vehicles to be used against students and the massed protesters when the Old Guard declare the election results null & void?
  12. He banked FIVE mill a year for each of his 1st FIVE years.
  13. 'authorities discovered that only two tables were occupied by customers while more than 20 staff members were present.' Sounds about right for most Thai Service companies. 'The inspected venues were randomly picked, according to Pol. Lt. Col. Suradet, and this time it landed on a bar named Bar Host 169,' - there was only ONE from a list of those not paying their protection money this month.
  14. Every weekend they clutter up the roads knowing the police don't work.
  15. Is this a First for Pattaya Plod?
  16. I thought some Thai Generals had had a hand in it?
  17. Imagine being in the above vehicle with someone eating Som Tam!
  18. The police will be the final arbiters and decide who pays what, minus their settlement fee.
  19. Prawit has been put on high alert when these goodies are divvied out.
  20. choose their own PM/Government. The Generals seem determined to prevent this happening. Transparency is something only applied to other people never to them selves. Prawit banked 5 mill for the 1st 5 years of service; his annual wage was under ONE! Then he gave himself immunity!
  21. Correct - it is not a contest but a thread about possible police practices. My comment was relevant to this; yours was carping about expression. I bet you correct people's spelling as well?
  22. Very specific. It sounds like rape to me punishable with a rusty razor blade.
  23. Meanwhile on the roads people were dying for lack of policing.
  24. Who found her? Is there likely to be any punishment for this cowardly thug? 'The Pattaya Police said they had assisted the woman and would later file charges against her husband for assault.'
