Thanks Groongthep, but the Thaivisa story wasn't drawn from the Clinton/Sutichai interview. What Clinton said in one interview and what she said in others, or during her address to the Asean delegates can, and in fact are, two different things.

what do you mean belatedly? this offer has been on sale to AMEX card holders for a while.

Thaivisa sexing up the news . . .surely not!

But why would you need a 'good looking female' to trick people into making online money transfers? Surely if it's online, or over the phone, any female could do the job. So, pure bull from the hack journo.

But can we change the title of the thread to 'Asian 'Call Girl' Stunners in Online Scam Shock' to accurately reflect the content and level of journalism.

Unless you also spoke to the police about the people arrested and received a different description then back in your box hack forum poster

>>Doctors, nurses and people in high-risk groups will be the first to receive vaccination against the A(H1N1) influenza virus when supplies become available, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Thursday.<<

>> Government Pharmaceutical Organisation director Vithit Attavejchakul said the two million doses would be given to three groups - the first, physicians, nurses and other health personnel; the second, people with chronic and congenital diseases; and third, the country's top executives.<<

Perhaps in some people's minds "the country's top executives" are not Hi-So, but they're hardly the most at risk - the poor, the ill, or those with pre-existing ailments that make them more likely to die from pandemic A(H1N1).

The distribution of the first shipment of pandemic A(H1N1) vaccine will include "the country's top executives". Obviously they are considered a high risk group, as defined by the PM: "Doctors, nurses and people in high-risk groups".

As for Baht&Sold, the UDD and the PAD, as well as the current and the former government have both been subject to criticism in articles that I have written and which have been published outside of Thailand and that also appear on my blog. To cherry-pick any article, or to point to comments left by readers elsewhere in this forum regarding a story that has nothing at all to do with politics shows your real intent.

A little bit more:

Who is Walter Cronkite? - the man behind the legend of America’s most trusted man

Walter Cronkite was an American broadcast journalist, best known as anchorman for the CBS Evening News> and the person who shaped and guided America through the 70s and 80s.

Even long after his retirement the name Walter Cronkite inspires up images of credibility, authoritativeness and accuracy that is entirely befitting the person regarded as "the most trusted man in America".

Born in Saint Joseph, Missouri, Cronkite began his journalism career in 1935 and then moved to radio, before joining the United Press in 1937.

He covered World War II in North Africa and Europe and was one of eight journalists selected to fly bombing raids over Germany in a B-17 Flying Fortress.

When Operation Market-Garden, one of the largest airborne assaults of the war commenced, Cronkite was there too, landing in a glider with the 101st Airborne unit and going through to cover the Battle of the Bulge.

After the war, he covered the Nuremberg trials, and served as the United Press’ main reporter in Moscow for two years.

In 1950, Cronkite joined CBS News in its embryonic television division, at WTOP-TV, the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C. and in 1962 succeeded Douglas Edwards as anchorman of the CBS Evening News – a role which made him an American icon.

Because of his reputation for accuracy, he was the voice American’s turned to for news on the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and the Watergate scandal.

Following Cronkite's editorial report during the Tet Offensive that the Vietnam War was unwinnable, President Lyndon Johnson is reported to have said, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America."

Cronkite is vividly remembered by many Americans as breaking the news of president John Kennedy’s death on November 22, 1963 and also for his coverage of the US space program – rubbing his hands together on camera with a smile on July 20, 1969 when the Apollo 11 mission first landed man on the moon.

Though Cronkite added nothing new to his reports on the Watergate affair, he brought together a wide range of reporting, and his credibility and status is credited by many with pushing the Watergate story to the forefront of the American public – culminating in the resignation of US president Richard Nixon on August 9, 1974.

Cronkite was also one of the first to receive word of President Lyndon Johnson's death

Beginning January 16, 1980, day 50 of the Iran hostage crisis, Cronkite added the length of the hostages' captivity to the show's closing to remind the audience of the unresolved situation, ending only on "Day 444", January 20, 1981.

In addition to his accuracy and professionalism, Americans trusted Cronkite because he was easy to understand.

Cronkite is reported to have trained himself to speak at a rate of 124 words per minute in his newscasts, considerably slower than the average of 165 words per minute most people speak at.

Cronkite held the number one news anchor position and kept CBS Evening News as the top-rated news program for 11 years – until his retirement in 1981 when he was succeeded by Dan Rather.

One of Cronkite's trademarks was ending the <CBS Evening News with the phrase, "...And that's the way it is" followed by the days date.

At the end of his final broadcast, Cronkite said in part, “Furthermore, I'm not even going away! I'll be back from time to time with special news reports and documentaries.

“Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away; they just keep coming back for more. And that's the way it is: Friday, March 6, 1981.”

Since retiring the news anchor position he continued to broadcast occasionally as a special correspondent for CBS, CNN, and NPR into the 21st century.

He repeatedly condemned President George W. Bush and the 2003 invasion of Iraq and in January 2006, said that he felt the same way about America's presence in Iraq as he had about their presence in Vietnam in 1968 and that he felt America should recall its troops

He was critical of the US Governments failure to live up to its obligations to the United Nations, saying, “it is led by a handful of willful senators who choose to pursue their narrow, selfish political objectives at the cost of our nation’s conscience.

“They pander to and are supported by the Christian Coalition and the rest of the religious right wing.”

Cronkite was a supporter of the anti-War on Drugs Drug Policy Alliance and the nonprofit world hunger organization Heifer International.

Until her death in 2005, Cronkite was married to Betsy Maxwell Cronkite for almost 65-years. The marriage produced three children: Nancy Cronkite, Kathy Cronkite, and Walter (Chip) Cronkite III (who is married to actress Deborah Rush).

Walter Cronkite died Friday, July 17, 2009 at the age of 92.

A man who influenced the careers of many journalists purely and simply by his honest, forthright approach.

Rest in peace Walter Cronkite, you've earned it.

I just had a used computer part shipped EMS from Australia. It should arrive in the next day or so.

Value of part $A10. Shipping $A45. Sent as a gift. it will be interesting to see what the local charges are when the bag arrives.

Waiting to see my water bill this month. Apartment owners put new water meter in and after one week it read 64m of water usage. That would equate to over Bt1,000 at their charge. Complained that it wasn't possible for one person without a rice field to use that much water. Was told to wait and see. One week later the meter had only moved one extra unit to 65m.

Spoke to the building manager and she said the pump had been "f_cked up" - which supported my previous experience that too high a pressure running to the meter will cause incorrect readings.

Now waiting for the bill this week.

It was interesting to note the ThaiVisa legal advisor's comment that being able to prove that a comment made (in an article, etc) was true, was not in itself an adequate defence against defamation. This goes a long way towards explaining the lack of anything approaching investigative journalism in the Nation or the BB Post ... and the true state of democracy that exists here

There's nothing new in this concept. In Australia truth alone is not a defence to defamation. All Australian journalists know of the ridiculous situation concerning libel and defamation laws down there and they have been used in the past for people to hide behind and seek compensation through the courts for comments that were true but failed on the test of public interest or public benefit.

One of the significant differences between bloggers and journalists is that topics such as defamation are included as part of the professional training for journalists, whereas bloggers just pound out what they want without any regard for laws - or often the reliability of their sources.

Posting the requirements here in Thailand is dam_n good idea and anyone posting on TV should frequent themselves with the laws in force here.

I've done the Vientiane trip a couple of times and since moving to Bangkok used Sawadee Travel run by a guy named Claudio (0818154803). Their vans leave from the On Nut Tesco carpark. The cost is Bt2,500 which includes some meals and accommodation and they collect the passports and bring them to you.

All-in-all a highly recommended service. Their costs are only a little more than doing the trip by yourself and without any of the hassles.

The over-time/weekend surcharge at the Lao border is $US1.

Have a good trip.

Actually I have read the press release and no where in it does it state that MSF will be handing the project over to someone else, or is seeking to hand it over to anyone else. Neither was that point made in the story MSF had placed in The Nation two days prior to the press conference.

The point made by Forum-Asia is a perfectly valid one as MSF has run that camp since 2005. No other NGO has been permitted in. NGOs, and I've worked around them for 25 years, rarely share a project with another NGO. All of that is beside the point though.

Surely it's better for MSF, with the experience they have with the Hmong in this camp, to continue their work and continue publicizing the problems the Hmong and they experience than to walk away?

You're totally correct, the Thai government will ride this out and couldn't give a tuppenny dam_n whether the Hmong receive food or medical assistance or not. If a few more Hmong die that a few more less problems the Thais and the Laotians have to worry about (That is from their viewpoint, not mine). As for the Thai government not being aware of the incidents you highlight, I would be very surprised if that was the case.

The big unanswered question still remains, which other NGO have the human and financial resources to step in and fill the gap? Sri Lanka and Pakistan are rapidly unfolding as two areas that will very soon need huge amounts of NGO support - placing further drains on NGOs and donors.

MSF would appear to have played into the hands of the Thai government on this issue and in a few days time no one will remember the press conference on Wednesday.

I'm sure the Hmong in the camp will feel abandoned when the only organization that has been helping them for four years, the people they have built a relationship with and have come to rely on and trust, leave. Who will speak out on behalf of the Hmong then?

With one roll of the dice MSF, as you correctly point out, a well respected humanitarian organization, has given away the advantage of being the only foreign eyes and ears in the camp. As you also point out, the sort of move MSF has made is something they are actually known for. It's a pity the Hmong will suffer due to MSF again seeking headlines in a do or die confrontation with the Thai government.

>You seem to have highlighted something that didn't fit the facts.< In fact the opposite is true. The risk of a humanitarian disaster occurring because a group as experienced and knowledgeable as MSF is pulling out of the camp due to the actions of the Thai government and Thai military is much more newsworthy and much more likely illicit reactions from people than simply stating MSF is pulling out of the camp for the stated reasons alone. For Joe average sitting at home in Europe, an NGO terminating a program is ho-hum.

I suggest you are a little too close to the situation. Take a step back and look at it from the perspective of someone sitting on the opposite side of the world. What will generate more interest? "MSF withdraws from camp" or "MSF's withdrawal from camp may spark a humanitarian crisis". If you were a 9 to 5 office worker, which story would you read? Which story would cause you the most concern?

There are better ways to publicize the real issues, the difficult working and living conditions of the organization and, more importantly, the abuse the Hmong (or any other group for that matter) are being subjected to than pulling up stumps and going home. By announcing their withdrawal from the camp, MSF now have nothing to fall back on in promoting the Hmong cause.

I think concentrating on the affect this will have on the Hmong, is much more important than worrying about what affect it will have on the reputation of MSF.

Maybe the Thais can swap him for Thaksin.

Thanks for the spirited defence of MSF, Krungthepian.

However, while MSF might have said yesterday, Wednesday, afternoon (which came after my story was published) that it was seeking to hand the project over, in it's previous public statements it made no mention of this, preferring instead to leak the news to The Nation and make statements aimed at embarrassing the Thai government, simply saying, "MSF withdraws from Hmong camp in Petchabun because of Thai Military's Restrictions and Coercive Tactics", with Gilles Isard, MSF head of mission in Thailand, quoted in it's press announcement saying MSF "refuses to work under military pressure".

The number of Nobel prizes an organization has won is irrelevant. The fact is, MSF are one of the few specialist medical NGOs in the world and whether it has won a Nobel prize or not has nothing to do with it abandoning a camp it has run since 2005.

Given the current global economic climate it will be difficult for another NGO with the financial, human and medical expertise necessary to be quickly found to replace the gap left by the MSF departure - as highlighted by Forum-Asia, who are based in Bangkok, have 42 member-organizations throughout Asia and quite familiar with Thailand issue.

To claim the US may get involved "if there is a major riot or mass suicides", is purely speculative and emotive and I suspect such an action would likely only prompt the Thai government to increase the speed of repatriation and see the Hmong subjected to more draconian conditions.

If, as you claim "perhaps just 1,000 out of the 4,700 people remaining... Maybe just 500 people", are true refugees, why doesn't Thailand have the right to return these people? Doesn't the US, Australia and other countries around the globe return non-genuine refugees to their country of origin?

To also claim, "I honestly reckon it's far better MSF exposed the scummy ways the Thai and Lao military have been behaving", totally misses the point of what an NGO is established to do - provide humanitarian assistance to those in need. I doubt the conditions MSF have to endure in Huay Nam Khao are as bad as NGOs in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Sudan, Somalia, etc.

As your correctly point out, "there ain't no media up there to report on what's going on. There's only MSF." Soon there won't be MSF. Surely this will only allow the Thai military to increase the pressure on the Hmong and as stated by the people I interviewed, "run the risk of creating a humanitarian disaster?"

Do you really believe the Thai government will care that MSF is withdrawing from the camp? If anything, the opposite is probably the case. As you rightly point out, "there is not a lot of sympathy for the Hmong among Thais." In actual fact, there ism not a lot of sympathy, support or compassion by Thais for anyone who isn't Thai.

For MSF to highlight the problems they are facing in the camp is a legitimate action of an NGO. More news of the problems the Hmong face on a daily basis, along with the difficulties MSF face in caring for these people, needs to be made public. However, having a massive dummy sit and taking their bat and ball and going home because they don't like the game - which is the game they signed up for in taking over the camp, is not the solution.

MSF ARE abandoning the Hmong in Huay Nam Khao. They have come out and announced they are leaving, without any plans being in place to replace them, at a time when NGOs the world over are seeing reduced contributions from donors and unprecedented demands for their services.

The statement by MSF is political and sensationalist, and hurts the very people they profess to be established to support. If anything, the Thai government and the Thai military will be rubbing their hands with glee. The Thai Army's psychological operations unit from Phitsanulok, in forcing MSF to abandon the camp, would appear to have effectively carried out its mission.

To state, "those human rights experts have said nothing for the past few years and now they come out for a bleat", is totally ridiculous. The Huay Nam Khao camp is an MSF project and other NGOs have not been allowed in in the past, or invited to participate. Now MSF is pulling the pin - in a move that can only be interpreted as political, wanting other NGOs to come in and work where it refuses to.

Six per cent of GDP but it used to amount to around 11 per cent of the economy - officially. With the drop in the manufacturing sector, exports down and many Thais not able to change out of the spending mentality the slide the country is on now is going to see a very hard landing when it bottoms out. Lots of building projects in Bangkok will come to a completion this year seeing thousands of laborers suddenly out of work as new projects don't start.

Appreciate that this is a Laos story but the nearest British Embassy is in Thailand so there is a tenuous link

Besides, the moralistic hang-em high and let them rot brigade need their weekly feeding frenzy.

The trial of a pregnant Briton who could face death by firing squad if she is convicted of drug smuggling is to take place tomorrow, according to a legal charity.

Samantha Orobator was arrested at Wattay Airport in Laos in August last year after she was allegedly caught with 680g of heroin. In Laos, smuggling more than 500g carries a mandatory death sentence.

Reprieve said the Laotian authorities brought the trial forward in an apparent attempt to stop lawyers from intervening. Up until now the 20-year-old from south London has had no legal representation.

She said she understood the system in Laos was that defendants were only able to see lawyers a week before their trials or, in some cases, on the same day trials began.

She said British officials had only been able to visit Orobator for a period of 20 minutes once a month.

The British only learned of her arrest when she had already spent many months languishing in the notorious Phonthong prison.

Laos broke international agreements on consular relations by not informing the British, apparently using the excuse that they did not have access to a fax machine.

Campaigners have also raised questions over how Orobator, who is due to give birth in September, could have become pregnant while in jail.

Stafford Smith said: "She is five months pregnant, without ever having met a lawyer, facing a show trial for her life.

The daily ration reportedly consists of two bowls of pig fat water soup and 500g of sticky rice, and most prisoners rely on their families to deliver food.

Other prisoners have reported incidents of abuse and torture, with some inmates having their genitals burnt.

Some reasonable apartment for Bt6,000 to Bt8,000 a month on Suhkumvit 22 close to Admiral suites but I think they want 6 months contract.

Was watching the Bangkok City inspectors at Phrom Pong today grabbing tourists and fining them Bt2,000 each for dropping butts onto the roadway - not the sidewalk. Saw them grab five people in 20 minutes. That's a nice cool Bt10,000. Great way to attract tourists.

Representatives of top military commanders told the House of Representatives committee yesterday that the Songkran Day crackdown met international standards and that no live bullets had been fired at the red-shirt protesters.

Maj-General Ong-art Pongsak, deputy commander of the First Army Region, told the panel on laws, justice and human rights that the operation, which had been overseen by an Army general, was merely aimed at dispersing the crowds.

He admitted that though some military officers were carrying pistols with live bullets, they were only meant to be used to protect high-ranking commanders overseeing the operation. He added that not a single live bullet was shot that day.

Not a single live bullet fired on Songkran clash day - Army

So there you have it. They were all blanks. the worlds only M16s that fire blank rounds on semi and full automatic without a Blank Firing Attachment (BFA).

Guess the holes in the taxis and buses must have been from metal worm and the noises going over our heads must have been flying pigs.

Seems to me the Army's story has changed at least three times now.

Regarding the event of the night 12th April and early morning 13th, how can anyone have a decent photo when it's dark like this? All videos on tv are shown when it was bright and no soldier will shoot at the reds at day time when reporters of many countries are around.

When it was this dark, even people living in apartments did not dare to stick their heads out to shoot videos, worrying soldiers might shoot up the sky and they might catch the bullets.

All we can do is to wait. The truth is still the truth.

Yawn - your non-arguments are so silly.

Any homevideo camera has 'NIGHT SHOT' ability since 10 years.

Most modern cellphones has flashes to supplement the light-intake.

Any real cameras will have flashes with the ability to illuminate even complete dark alleys.

And your claim that people was to scared is really silly. Found the clips online with people videotaping caps taking bribes in full daylight? Here the people filming would be at much higher risk of being seen and possible have something terrible happening to them. You claim people was apparently huddling under their beds our of fear so they could film from inside, in cover of darkness...as not every apartment are located directly above the events going on. And filming across the street could therefor be done from several feet inside an apartment too.

Yawn...

Flash photos of troops committing murder. Great idea! You're braver and smarter than me if you think you could do that and tell the tale and I've been doing this sh_t for 25 years. Oh, wait - you've never been in that situation, have you?

Actually from what I know tear gas, live rounds and blank rounds were used.

There were some ex-military(US?) dudes on this baord explaining what was happening as we were watching the live pics: It was pointed out that some troops were manually cocking ther guns and these were likely firing blanks due to lower compression charges not being able to sustain continuous automatic fire. The Automatic fire -live rounds- was into the air, which could be seen most of the time on all local and international footage with live rounds fired direct into buses which were pock marked.

The military dudes and there were several all said that firning live round son auto direct into the crowd would have created carnage and one comment iirc was it would have bneen like the inside of a butchers shop with dead bodies and body parts everywhere.

That also fits with what would have happened from later conversations I have had with ex-military friends.

The BBC or CNN also reporte don the soldiers setting off "harmless explosives to scare demonstrators".

Whatever, considering the widespread nature of the violence and the threats to residents lives the clearance operation seems to have resulted in remarkably few casualties, which is good.

In 1992 journos were kept in a hotel while demonstrators were shot and even then when exiting evidence was clearly visible. In this day and age of the mobile phone camera and digicam there would almost certainly be multi pics of dead bodies corroborating each other by now if there were a lot of death. Is it really also possible to imaghine that the Thai army which lostits APCs to demonstartors the day before suddenly became so effcient that they could kill and disppear people and carry out such an efficient clean up operation that all evidence such as blood and body parts disappeared. It is also questionable whether the Thai military is such an undivided organization that they wouldnt have had leaks by now.

There are two spots that are disputed and where a small amount of people could have been killed.

The early morning assault at Din Daeng (where very few journalists were present, and no sufficient footage is available to make any judgment confirming either side of the argument), and in which also personal handguns were used by soldiers.

The second spot not much is known about is the fighting at night at Nang Leon/Saphan Khaow between Red Shirts and local residents/PAD.

There definitely was no massacre similar to May '92, but it is yet too early to conclude that there were no people killed, and no cover-up. What can be stated is that there is no proof so far, but there are reports of missing people. More time has to pass before making any clear statement on this issue.

The absence of bodies does not prove anything. It took two weeks and two autopsies for the death of Ian Tomlinson at the G20 protests to emerge and that was in London.

This sounds right from what I've been told by some Thai soldiers who said live rounds were issued to soldiers who took position at the rear of those firing training rounds - first row shields and batons, second row blank rounds, third row soldiers with live rounds. Officers all have live rounds in their pistols.

Yeah, just 2 dead and 400+ injured. That's really nothing, I see. It does make me feel a lot better, you know. I now feel that Thaksin, Samak and Somchai really did nothing wrong. They were really innocent because only 2 were dead and 400+ were injured, instead of 11 dead and 600+ injured. There's really nothing wrong with just 2 dead and 400+ injured.

I read the old posts for the 7th October and all I can see is police using tear gas. There was one photo of a police with a short gun. So there were 2 death and 400+ injured. Khun Somchai and his people was accused of killing.

And on 13th April so many soldiers with war guns (using to shoot enemy) and tear gas shooting since 3:30am or 4:00am and there was no death and 100+ injured. No one accused Abhisit and his people for using weapons to the reds because they say there is no death. But no interviews with the reds who were at Din Daeng were on tv.

All we can do is to wait. People lost their family members in the past protest still look for the dead bodies for 17 years.

Koo82, tear gas was never used during the Songkran riot, and those guns were shooting either blank or paper bullets at the terrorists, err I mean the peaceful democratic innocent protesters. That's why there was never any dead terrorists, err I mean peaceful protesters....and I'm going to bed.

Actually you are totally WRONG. Teargas WAS used and the military were firing LIVE rounds. None of the photographs taken of recovered shell casings show crimps marks at the top as is standard with blank rounds and NONE of the photographs show the military rifles equipped with BFAs (Blank Firing Attachments). Without a BFA fitted the rounds need to be ejected manually. See BFA.

The reason you would need to sight and aim at fleeing protesters if using blank rounds is?

My suggestion is to commit yourself to helping the kids out as much as you can.

I've always felt horrible about the way animals are treated here and in the last few years I've started raising money and providing medical care and food for them and it really feels good to help another living being improve their life. Helping a human being would feel even better. You will be happy that you decided to.

Also agree. Perhaps explain the reasons to your wife and get her to raise it. Child trafficking is abhorrent and she is certainly at risk.

With both Sondhi Limthongkul's son Jittanart and Jakrapob Penkair talking about a "third hand" and inner and outer circles it is quite likely the red's fell into a trap when they were sent to the Ministry to intercept Abhisit. It would also explain the delay in implementing the state of emergency - as Abhisit try to ensure he had the support he needed - and why the state of emergency was in place for so long.

the so-called blue shirts were around the red shirts rally on Saturday night and one was caught in the crowd with a flare pistol converted to take shotgun cartridges. The gun was loaded when the person was apprehended.
