Awarding Nobel Peace Prize to bad people trying to do better is wrong!!

Sleeping in a police box is also a tradition! So is it acceptable?

Even if his twisted mind thinks "requesting" money is not a bribe, policemen were not working during that time and as such they shall be punished.

They would do better to tighten domestic lending on properties to calm the property market if they are concerned about asset bubbles, than worry about speculative inflows strengthening the baht.

A stronger baht cheapens oil imports which feed everything in the country. Capital controls will cause a huge mess.

Although I agree with you regarding the property market I don't think a stronger baht has cheapen any import product. I believe importers have increased their profit margin and are the ones benefiting the strengthening of the baht.

Therefore I doubt weakening the baht will increase the exports. Similarly the exporters may very well increase the price of the export products to increase their profit margin... or am I missing something?

Would be great to have the link to the said survey as I wonder what the 83 factors are...

Anyone went to see this doctor? Or do you know any other doctors who could be Lyme disease specialists?

"Thailand Ranked 3rd in Asia When It Comes to Eating Rat Meat"... said who??

Is it a survey? Where does that come from? What is the source of this information? What kind of journalism is that?

I don't want to sound too pessimistic but my understanding of the article is that they did not agree on anything except having a meeting next year to talk about it.

My phone was dead from 11.40AM to 6.30PM. I also tried to call other Dtac numbers from a public phone but the lines were dead as well.

Maintenance is just an excuse. It is definitely a technical failure, otherwise why not do the maintenance work from 2AM to 4AM and why not sending a text messenger to inform their clients and apologies for the inconvenience?

Regularly I get complains from friends and clients that they cannot reach me even though I am expecting their call and my phone is on my desk in front of me. The phone simply will not ring and I don't receive misscalls either. Few weeks ago Dtac told me "the engineer is working on it". Well, whatever, if no change by the end of january, I'll change provider.

Time to leave the country boy. You have your principles and they don't work here..... Life is going to be a constant struggle if you think justice can be served. I've seen it time and time before. Go back and enjoy your rules are rules and must abide by the because it's my right "society" and stay there. It ain't going to work here and your just going to get more frustrated with the wrong people.... The right thing.... Leave

And you probably stayed here for too long. What's wrong with trying to push the country in the right direction?

You are now going to be presented with a ticket by ThaiVisa.com for placing the same topic twice ;-)...

(I replied to your previous topic... Chase it up, but don't take it too seriously, it's likely to be an uphill battle at best).

Yep, sorry about that. I did not intend to create this topic under the Diving section.

I guess I cannot delete this topic myself now...

Hi,

This morning I was stopped by a police officer who pretended I crossed a straight line to make a u-turn. After I tried to explain him that I did was on the u-turn lane and that I did not cross any line, he became agressive. I then decided to give away my license.

I am now wondering what to do to? I did not do anything wrong and I am not willing to pay. I have heard there is a possibility to bring the case before an administrative court within 7 days.

Is it true? If so, how to do it? What is the correct procedure? Anyone has more info or advice? If not, is there any other possibility?

Many thanks.

They also said on TV, these spikes may have been put on roads by people selling food. If there is no aid coming, these sellers will eventually make a lot of money. How sad!

Well said that man. I enjoy the odd Leo or three and don't really care what's made of. But I do miss British bitters. When all is said and done there's not much to choose between any lager beer. Now if Boddingtons or Timothy Taylor or Breakspear had announced they were setting up shop here then I'd get excited!

Hobs has Boddingtons.

Witch's has London Pride.

Bulls head has John Smith but I think the pub has closed down.

Subscription is too expensive for HD channels.

And for non HD channels, Truevisions has once again modified the allocation number of some channels. It may be a trifle but that's really annoying. I called the call center yesterday coz I cannot access directly a channel (I need to type another number and press the next button on the remote until I get to that channel), the guy on the phone did not even know there was a change in the number of channel!

However and believe it or not, at the end of the phone conversation he said something like "Health tip! Eating rambutan every day helps to get a nice skin."

Instead of making jokes and trying to get a smile from their customers at the end of a call, Truevisions should rather focus on the key point: offer a good range of channels with good quality picture and sound for a decent price. Is it too much to ask?

"easy for voters to recognise and remember".

What's the point in remembering the party number anyway?

Don't tell me the voters are asked to put a number in the envelope? If so I understand that could lead to a major confusion...

Hi,

I'm looking for a nice and quiet resort in the countryside near Bangkok (with a pool and lots of space; room rate around 2,000 baht).

Please share your tips about any relax retreat away from the bustling city?

Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to buy an Ipod Dock to use as portable speaker device and Alarm clock.

What do you think is the best value for money device available in Thailand?

What brands are available (logitec, altec Lansing, jbl, ihome, memorex...). Where to buy? What price?

Many thanks for your tips.

You may also want to check out Rueanthai Raminthra (you can google the name). This Wedding Villa is a nice spot for pre-wedding photos.

Cheers!

Do you think it's worth falling for a 3G model? 3G will probably be fully fonctional only when Ipad3 will be out?

What's the problem with dual citizenship anyway!!

Why can't that be commonly accepted by people in Thailand?

We're in 2011, people move abroad more than before and children are born everyday with 2 parents from 2 different nationality.

These children will be raise with 2 different cultures and will learn to love them both.

Why then ask to choose between your father and your mother??

Open up your mind people!

My suggestion is think about the risks first.

I think Mitker knows very well what the risks are as his company operate for several years in Thailand.

While your arguments may be true, it also can be pure speculation. Who knows what will happen next?

I'm actually happy to see that fear does not affect everybody in Thailand.

I wish him good luck and hope he will give us a feedback after...

All the best to you Mitker!!

I must be missing something. How come people be so naive (stupid) as to invest in shares they don't know anything about via investment companies that they don't know anything about? That's beyond me! Only Greed? If so, I guess these "victims" asked for it!

You're in Chiang Mai?
