I'm still trying to wrap my head around why PTP found it necessary to bring out 12,000 police to guard 200 protestors. Scared much?

So having you on a live video screen In front of several hundred red followers telling them to burn down Bangkok, while sitting in his palace in Dubai, can't be considered terrorism?

They won't wear them, and hardly effective in a crash having your lap restrained.

But I suppose it's a step in the right direction.

Maybe breath tests for drivers before each shift and random drug tests would do better.

A big step forward would be to stop the van drivers from competing for passengers. Those guys will race and leap frog each other all the way down the street,i bet that's how most accidents occur.

Believe me, if you have the right kind of stickers on your car you won't have to worry.

No office. You can get Office Live, and there are plenty of apps for you that can take place of Office. Everything else is available. Plenty of games for sure! You might want to go to a place with wifi to download your apps, otherwise you will use up your data.

Get a 3G model, and I believe True and DTAC have data plans.

Let her start by cracking down on Thai criminals on the run in foreign countries. Bring them to trial and get justice. Then work on other things.

As well, aren't the BIB the center of crime and narcotics? Don't they control the whole shibang?

Not just kids.

Adults have a strong addiction to TV soap operas here. They stare at the set for 4-5 hours every night taking it all in with mouths open.

At least the kids are interacting in a role play.

(PTP) "Ooooops, solly!"

If this means Chilean wine at affordable prices, then I'm all for it!

Unfortunately, wine prices are about to go through the roof, from what I've heard.

Spend a little less time worrying about the US and a little more time worrying about your mountains of rotting rice.

I've found in Thailand in general, things are always rushed at the last minute. I hate the PTP and Saint Yingluck, but don't think they are acting any differently than anyone else here.

She's a real saint she is!

Of course this does not excuse the guy if he was speeding, but should the doors of those minivans go open so easy ? Is the minivan faulty and accident prone ? No seatbelts in those minivans are bad enough but if those doors open easy during impact its even more so a deathtrap.

Must have been real bad for the husband to see his wife get flung out and die.. poor guy. If the car driver was speeding I hope they really get proof and prosecute him.

Agree. those minivans are totally reckless. They compete for customers on their routes, so constantly take risks to get ahead.

one would think coconuts could have come up with a headline that did not infer jah beat his wife

Coconuts is well known for their hunger to attract attention over focus on truth or detail.

The PTP have no idea what they are doing or how to manage the water flow. They only know how to talk in platitudes.

The floods are coming.

Is this actually working in real time now as the flooded area looks identical to last October when for some reason they stopped updating. The reason I am suspicious is that it shows a massive flood area around Chumsaeng about 40km NE of Nakhon Sawan that was not flooded when we were there 3 days ago

Yeah I think this is totally inaccurate.

Is there any site keeping data on the situation, like this site did in 2011?

Hi, don't worry, there won't be any floods. They won't be too bad. They won't be as bad as 2011. They will only affect Northern Bangkok. Quick, everybody run to higher ground! Help! Help! Gurgle gurgle.

My name is Khung Ying Yingluck.

Tank You Velly Mut!

TOKYO, Japan – Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, on a visit to Japan, promised on Wednesday (March 7th) that floods would never affect business in Thailand again.

How embarrassing for Yingluck but how devastating for those who are and will be effected in the future.

Was that in the same speech where she proclaimed democracy was alive and thriving in Thailand?

1. Clear the sidewalk and fine/imprison anybody who tries to use the sidewalk for commercial enterprise.

2. Fire and/or imprison any police who extort money from people for use of the sidewalk for commercial enterprise.

Done!
