If you reckon the streets in Pattaya are filthy, try coming to India.

Delhi is iffy, Bangalore is bad, Mumbai is worse, dropping a fork on the street in Mumbai will result in it dissolving (or being stolen and sold for scrap) before it can be retrieved

If I had dropped the fork whilst eating, I would have picked it up, wiped it, and carried on eating, a bit of muck never hurt anyone (well my mum always used to say that, always believe your mother)

Of course the waitress should have got a fresh one, but she didn't and I don't expect any harm has come to the client. As to the moral dilemma, as others have said, a case of mind your own business.

Sorry to digress and with all due respect Crossy, its a getting a bit monotonous that you take every opportunity to bitch about India on a Thai forum.

Everyone knows India is backward, dirty and doesnt provide the same entertainment as Thailand.

For your sake, I hope the money in Bangalore is good - otherwise I wonder why you should be there at all ....

I believe that Sonram did simply fall asleep, he is completely over-worked – and that may not have all been his fault.

let us hope that the likes of Channel 3 and RS Production learn a hard lesson from this and realize that the consequences of over-pushing their stars…can often be fatal.

Oh, its all right then - let the family of the victim sue those big bad corporations - Why even Sonram may be able to get some kind of compensation for his trauma!

What's he being treated for? Dehydration caused by running?

the Thais I know would say.... "jaw khong aw pay leaw.." ....meaning that the owner has taken it...(whatever has been stolen)...

a good buddhist would think that when something is stolen.... we probably have stolen from them in a past life.... so just forgive them.... and do not get angry or want revenge... so as to break the chain and not create any karma to be repeated over and over again

and when your wife said 'you don't know what pain is...' it's true.... compared to childbirth ...we men hardly know suffering as women do

Rubbish they suffer a few hours, we have to listen to them for 40 years or more after that, "yap yap yap", now that's real suffering

yeah, childbirth can never compare to a lifetime pain in the ar$e!

some bags that may require more thorough security screening might have to be left behind

Firstly, aren't emergencies declared by legitimate governments? And then, isnt a country under military rule already in a state of emergency?

The clock is ticking

I looked at that and my first thought was "this should be in the health forum".

What a difference a "l" makes!

I suspect that the fine was reduced from 100k to 50k. The Nation's proof-readers may have messed-up as usual.

It wasnt long ago that someone discounted those rebels as "common criminals".

I'm willing to bet that particular CCTV camera has malfunctioned since the ice age and was unfortunately never repaired due to lack of funds....!

Never invest in anything that needs to eat to live.

Thanks for the suggestion Paul. A few clients wont mind scanning their docs and sending them to Thailand via e-mail, while some just won't bother with the trouble!

I have increasing complaints from overseas clients (especially Switzerland) that they cannot send faxes to my (Bangkok) office. I checked at this end - line and fax machine seem to be normal.

Meanwhile, the phone company in Zurich informed my client that Thailand has started quite recently to block incoming fax lines time-to-time to reduce the data transfer flow because there's too much data traffic!

If this is indeed true - its surely the right step towards becoming the telecom hub of the region.

The food at Amsterdam Hooters is f*cking terrible ... and after almost poisoning you, the cheeky bastards charge you to go vomit in the toilet!

Should be called Looters then!

The way some people play golf in Thailand, I would worry as much (if not more) about getting hit by golf balls. At least with the bullets, you know where they are coming from.

..........a year and a half ago it was a blue screen?

So, we can't really blame them for being boring! Now that we have a new colour.

A bit off-topic, but did anyone see yesterday's Bangkok Post with the front page photo of two monks arriving for a meeting in a luxury car.

Thailand's own MiB - Monks in Benz!

An electric fan can be an expression of love and friendship, it can also show respect at a funeral, she said.

Someone seems to have made a bad investment in an electric fan factory!

"The premier said he found underpants floating all around during his recent visit,"

Why aren't they searching for the missing persons?

She can stay at the Andaman Resort Koh Lanta. I dont have the number but you could get it on Google I suppose. This family resort with rooms and bunglows is quite clean and the location is not so bad either.

I must say that the island itself has lost much of its rustic charm. I was there last month and it seemed a totally different place from my first visit some 7 years ago. However, the surrounding islands that you can tour by boat / sea kayak are fantastic.

Police said they suspected either suicide or murder.

Wonder why and how they eliminated natural causes!

A few minutes before the services began, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate.

Soon everyone exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.

So Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

The man replied, "Yep, sure do."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.

"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.

"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.

"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan.

"Yep," was the calm reply.

"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.

"Nope."

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for over 48 years.
