Wow another professor of the British character .

a professor from Camulodunum which is the old roman name for Colchester .... or he ment Cambodia but just could not spell correctly, but i think it was the first as he refers to thailand as Siam .....

All good points. You are the type who obviously knows your history so, therefore, there's no point in telling you that the name Thailand is both a misnomer and not a little racist. So Siam it is for this purpose. Despite which, your silliness about not being able to spell Cambodia although being able to spell the name Camulodunum seems a little ironic to say the least. Still at least you've learned something today by Googling the word Camulodunum.

Glad you found the humour in my post

but this is a first for me

Thailand is both a misnomer and not a little racist

can you enlighten please

i dont see it ????? maybe on the wrong IP

not ending....

I have just had an sms from BKK post stating that they are MOVING from goverment house to the 2 airports for extra manpower.

Only the PAD guards will be left there.

Could this be a perfect chance for the police to take back the goverment house as no one is going to be there now???????

Thanks poorsucker for sending me the picture file

I think the error was that the link i posted for the image was no longer available....

That 8000 Baht, is that including tips or are those extra?

8000 + extras(tea money).

genrally around 20-25 K for a normal officer

Area officer maybe 100 K + ( chaweng sub district officer drives a nice BMW 7 series )

Chief of Police in Samui 250 - 500 K a month ++++++++ ( drives a nice new land rover )

BBC, Sky News and BKK Post are reporting nothing of yet...

But a post yesterday mentioned the PM had already fled Thailand

ahhh the Sun, a good comic. It also explains the alarmist tone.

but the most read newspaper in the UK.... and alot of Thailands would be tourists will be reading

"The U.S. embassy in Bangkok said it had asked the Thai foreign ministry to provide "appropriate compensation" to U.S. citizens stranded by the closure of Suvarnabhumi and the older Don Muang airport, a big domestic hub."

do you think this compensation could apply to expats wirking in Thailand who have lost out as well??? .........

Not quite sure how you arrived at this conclusion, EVA Air are flying to London from U Ta Pao, albeit via a new stop over in Dubai.

Check in is being held at BITEC

EVA Air flight status and check in proceedure

Due to all threads running, i thought it would be a good idea to post the vidoes of what is happening in a seperate thread only for videos...

here are a few to start the thread off.....

What is Suvarnabhumi airport for PAD?

PAD seizes the airport for looting

อารมณ์ที่แตกต่าง PAD vs Tourists, Suvarnabhumi Airport

also , a friend mentioned the travel agents in London are advising all holiday makers to stay clear of thailand and that Travel Insurance companies will NOT COVER them if they travel here ...

DESPERATE British tourists were still trying to get out of Thailand last night as violence flared in the strife-torn country. </H2>About 100,000 people, including more than 5,000 Brits, have been stranded by protests closing both airports in the capital Bangkok.

Some flights are leaving from a former US air force base at U-Tapao, 90 miles away — but not to Britain.

There were chaotic scenes at the base on Saturday, with 20,000 people turning up for 4,000 available seats.

Troops have tried to restore order.

Explosions yesterday hit the Prime Minister's compound in Bangkok — held by anti-government protesters — an anti-government TV station and a road near the main airport.

At least 51 people were reported injured.

Tension rose as pro-government supporters rallied and demanded their rivals leave the airports.

Threat ... airport rebel in Thailand

&lt;deleted&gt; ??? ........

blue hammer .... but i was half expectingto be the 2 %

hi

Ok, my avatar seems to be there , but as a X ( ie picture not showing )

Thanks Kan Win

I have seen that someone else uses it ....

Please could you send me the file if you find, otherwise i may need to find a new one ....

I have just heard this from a Thai in the office that they are opening fire on the PAD protesters...

My own view is they have it coming, it is not as if they were not warned !!! .. i hope this makes them think twice about accepting 700 THB a risking their lives for a couple of Thais that cannot accept they didnt make it to power!

I hope innocent people are not hurt...

Strange, I can't see that it has been removed. Can you try uploading it again and see if that works?

(make sure its not obscene thanks).

The file was on my old laptop, and no not obscene......

Any ideas where it is?

Samui Villas and Homes have won best real estate agent in Thailand the last two years. They are professional and knowledgeable.

Could this have something to do with the owner of the company being on the judging panel and also paying a nice amount to the company that runs the awards

the topic of AltumAngel being real or not has been brought up on many occasions.... but still she has never posted in any other thread, nor replied to any of her posts nor replied to a pm
