I would have to say that the OP and his desires to make a PROFIT in LOS from the property market is the reason why foreigners are not allowed to own land in the Kingdom.

I stayed on Koh Chang for 400 baht a night 4 years ago. Right on the beach.

Was there something you wanted to say about the tragedy?

I the OP has summed up the whole sorry episode very well. And the point of your response is?

The origin of the post was Wikipedia.. My question was "Is there something the OP wanted to add or take away?" Was this a thread that had been moved?

I don't think the OP wanted to add or to take away anything. I think that he just wanted to make known what was on Wikipedia and what the results were of the investigations. And those results are ... You can draw your own conclusions...

I'd put my money on that 'sharp object' being a knife. Ever tried cutting the arms and legs off your grannie using a feather? You'd be the laughing stock of the Serial Killers Club.

How they decided the time of death was six hours earlier from only a torso I don't know. Thai torso, it seems, is ' waist to upper legs'. Interesting. That throws into disarray the whole 150 year development of Anatomy. We've been led to believe a torso involved a headless, armless, leg less set of remains. Now the Thais starighten otu the entire world. It's arse and thighs only!

I expect from the rigour mortis, the 'torso' having an erection, they got the six hours. Maybe even tested the blood for viagra. Then conferred how long each of them manages to stay stiff for and settled on a collective of 6 hours. Then the Chief of Police through a spanner in the works by informing his underlings ' I take two.'

Police now adjust the time of death to anywhere between 6 and 12 hours.

I wonder if having found a single piece of the victim they bothered to look in the other Four City Corners? A bit too obvious that one. Probably missed it.

Word of advice. Get rid of any cardboard boxes you may have been saving. Thai logic; as used by butchering murderers. Also, no more shopping at Watsons - white plastic bags are for blood and not shampoo and aspirin.

Still, there's nothing to worry about as the Police have narowed it down, based on all the forensics available to ' a man in his 30s'. That puts me and the wife in the clear then.

How about you?

I would say that sharp object may of been a saw.

Quite a hefty champagne.

Lovely place by the way.

Is it an open plan inside?

Can you not just dhl it?

So many to choose from. I have heard good things about Soi 8 bar. You should check it out.

I know of an International school now hiring for an elementary teacher. I will PM the info onto you. Good luck.

Probably get them at Kho San Road.

I bought a pair there about 2 years ago. Quite a few back packers wear them on their travels.

If I knew then that being in my home country would be this boring after living in Thailand. However by being home for a few years I can return to Thailand and have more opportunities.

If these people are in such a state, begging for food and money, if they really are genuine, why don't they walk through the front gates of their embassy and ask for repatriation?

Easier to beg...nice warm weather....no need to sign on once a fortnight.

"Look I'm poor! I'm hungry! I've been scammed!"

Little bit of foresight needed when travelling abroad.

Give these people a one way ticket home and have their passports revoked. Permanently.

What a load b*****ks. I have helped out a fellow human being in Thailand who was stuck in a bad situation. He was appreciative and is still in contact with me.

Who are you to say to revoke someones passport?

Sad. R.I.P

Good luck with your pursuit. I got a plac eon a PGCE in England starting September. I also got an offer for a Masters in education, however the masters will not lead to QTS. So PGCE it is then.

There is certainly a good range of Treks at Probike. 4300 is a good all rounder.

I didn't think that you can get QTS with a distance PGCE.

I cycled in bangkok many times on a GT mountain bike. Never had an accident. It is all about awareness. If you think that it would be too much for you, TheLaughingman, you should really not do it.

OP, Try Probikes in Lumpini, www.probikes.co.th. You could also try the bike shops that are at some shopping malls.

Patrick was actually from Wales. He was brought over to Ireland by an Irish pirate/slave merchant called Niall of the Nine Hostages.Trade in people was quite common in many parts of Europe then.

La Fheile Padraig daoibh. (Happy Paddy's day to you guys)

From Ireland.

How long's a piece of string?

Yea. A big clear out of the old guard.

Good joke even though I have heard it on this forum before.

Good one.
