There was no DNA belonging to the B2 on the murder weapon a hoe how can they possibly be guilty.

Because DNA only transfers on a low percentage of cases. There was zero DNA found even though the tools were used for gardening.

"the foreign news agency who wrote the story about the alleged slave labour did not actually make an inspection to the shrimp peeling shed"

Wait, what? Should be pretty easy for AP to verify that they visited the shrimp peeling facility.

Hopefully they didn't just rely on second-hand stories.

Sounds like a schizophrenic episode, especially with the paranoia and waxing and waning lucidity.

Happened to a woman at my old university at the end of the semester. Within a few days she was seriously delusional and we had to work with the administration to keep her under a close watch and have her family come and fetch her.

Traveling overseas is probably the worst place for an episode. Little money, lots of strangers, and not the best support for mental health issues.

Hope the family tracks him down ASAP.

Title makes it sound like a murder mystery.

Seems more like a heart attack.

It's trading at a PE of 22 which is high considering there don't seem to be obvious economic gains to be had in the short term.

My crystal ball prediction is a slow decline next year unless any major events happen, in which case we could see a sudden drop, a bit of doom and gloom predictions followed by a rebound.

How can posting information about corruption be called Lese Majeste???

Depends what he said in the post. But it could also just be defamation similar to the two people who got into trouble for criticizing the Krabi police on Facebook.

Wasn't the threat specifically to Russians? Seems like the paper is drumming up interest by saying Russians = Foreigners, Brits = Foreigners, therefore Russians = Brits.

Where were these whinging, bleating prats during the rice corruption?

I assume you are from a country whose people fought hard for their democracy over many decades and yet you refer to those of the same ilk aka 'democracy activists' 'whinging bleating orats' (oh, 'prat, you must be English and have never heard of the Tolpuddle Martyrs and their like?).

You came to this country expecting to be feted by little smiling peasants catering to your every whim (like a couple of others on here) and are distressed at witnessing the nascent stirrings of the 'peasants'' revolt. You should be ashamed.

Think he's talking about the the anti-corruption people on this forum coming out of the woodwork.

When the story first came out most fingers pointed at the rich two boys. Then after his dad swooped in somehow the kids were able to leave the country and now these witnesses are coming out of the woodwork suggesting it was the victim who started it all. Rediculous!

One Pattaya scammer down, thousands more to go.

Northshore is a good option. Plenty of smaller units available.

Still?? It's a catchy song but was released months ago.

This is as misguided as the "they hate our freedoms" reasons put forward by the Bush administration.

As many have pointed out France was involved in Syria- that is why they were targeted as opposed to the many other countries out there who also have a "pleasure of living".

In an article criticizing the "ill-worded message to Paris" it might be helpful to include the actual words so we can see how bad it actually is. The "too much freedom" quote appears to come from someone else.

Would be interesting to know what words were used when refusing to buy the watch. Usually a small shake of the head and looking elsewhere is enough for them to move on.

Did no one else try alcohol from their parents when they were young? I'd see my parents drinking wine or beer and ask them for some. They'd let me try and I'd think it's disgusting and not want anymore.

Unless they're force feeding it to the kid which it doesn't seem from the photo then this is a big drama over nothing.

Remember in Thailand there is a big anti alcohol movement which will jump at anything to justify even more draconian laws and restrictions.

What's needed in situations like this is a common friend who can talk with her and find out what's on her mind and then speak with you about it then get back to her.

Keep an open mind about it and be prepared to accept that she might have perceived you doing something wrong beyond just asking her why she is in a bad mood.

As for divorce in Thailand there is generally no alimony or division of assets like in the West.

Thanks Darko, will check them out.

Cars fault ,not the driver

The article clearly says it was the fault of the escalator that caused the car to hit its head. Woman was fine. Car is the victim here and the escalator should be ashamed of itself.

A small flavor of what was happening a decade ago during the so called War on Drugs in Thailand. Police were authorized to use deadly force and over 2000 people ended up dead as a result.

terrible, I wonder what a 1 on 1 situation would of resulted in.? ( Well never going to happen anyway )

Street fights don't follow boxing rules. Same is true in the West - if you fight one guy in a group you can bet his buddies are going to come rushing in, usually with sucker punches. And if you gain the upper hand you could be stabbed.

I paid 1m baht sinsod which was returned. Plus some gold which wasn't. Between wealthy families Thai men can pay far, far more- a friend of mine (Thai) dropped 9 million baht sinsod plus a massive pile of gold.

It's not so much the amount but also the effort you are putting forth to do it. Borrowing from your GF is an option but she likely would want to keep it a secret from everyone.

Edit- Forgot to mention that returning the money was something my wife had discussed with her mother. Not all families are that open so otherwise I would ask a senior Thai friend to help.

Can anyone recommend a good freight forwarder that can handle LCL shipments from Thailand to the US? Ideally need US clearance and delivery to domestic US warehouses.

Thai FDA approval is needed to sell domestically. I haven't heard that it is needed for export but if the factory is not already exporting and not selling locally who are their customers? We change packaging to comply with US requirements and use factories to export directly.

Anyone know of places the cast aluminum , steel, bronze / brass pewter etc
