Oh finally a good news! i was so concerned about going out at night time (but even during the day for that matter), knowing that i might eventually came across one of the very feared "overstayers" , i can cope with almost any sort of issues or dangers, but having to deal with a man/woman which is not a "quality tourist" is already bad enough, leave alone someone which break this vital law! is just too much, nevermind the killers, scammers, abusers,cheaters,thiefs around us, the constant chronic break of safety standards and human rights, etc.., go and get the overstayers that's the real crime in this country, the main priority for the resolution of all major problems affecting the country for sure, thank you amazing Thailand!

Just pray you never fall into this category, I feel sorry for you to be so anti Foreigner. Use your head, some people just having bad luck.

Why not set a maximum limit on your card that can be deducted in one day so that someone doing this kind of thing can't run your card for 200,000 baht if they do get hold of it?

This Norwegian must have had special arrangements with the bank, I have never been able to withdraw cash more than 25.000 bath at any day, except when shopping.

Thread shutdown in 3,2,1...

dont worry about it, some is interesting reading others is just political bullshit

Watching the video - the Thai fighter had enormous courage against such a well built guy. Hat's off and he put him down many times but brute strength combined with a touch of insanity - hard combination to beat. Let's hope the BiB get their man and put this guy in shackles. I doubt he will see freedom in this life time once incarcerated as he will not be a model prisoner. Time will sort him out and also the diet inside will reduce his size substantially.

Not really mate remember the crazy Aussie guy that shot the American in cold blood up here in chiang mai he only got 2 years and that was an assasination style killing if this guy is smart he says the guy insulted the king and he had to do him in and he should be out in 12 months just like the Aussie guy who is now living as a free man in Australia.

I am just amazed how you people out there charge others, wait and see.

"The rumor is that Arisman was found singing inside a restaurant in the hotel for approximately 10 Thai tourists, whom the fugitive red-shirt leader also talked to for about 30 minutes before retiring to his room." and none have a phone camera.

That would have been to easy

I know a few good places to put the museum Patpong, Nana Paza or Pattaya. After all, those places are the corner stone of safe sex and tourism in LOS. I cant wait for the first wax works museum. !!!!!!

And I was hoping to find my EX as a wax figure in there.

What about people from Montenegro?

they don't come here, they are too rich, they go Seint tropez

so tell me, who gives a shit?? do they think this will solve the problems?

No they think they can get more money

Poor Abhisit,

He looked clever and capable. The truth is that he is just one more puppet in the hands of PAD and army.

Thailand should really have an external look on the situation and see how its international image deteriorates everyday, not good for businnes, investments, tourism.... Time to wake up

Well, yeah, but what percentage of the potential tourists to Thailand do you think ever pay attention to

news stories about politics and international relations in S-East Asia ? Virtually zero - maybe 5% -

and most of them will be investment/business types, not your cheap-flight bar-boys etc. who make

up the overwhelming majority of visitors to Thailand. Bad news DOES make a difference, agreed, but

as long as Thailand carrys on serving up the hedonistic delights it is famous for, they'll keep coming,

border-disputes or no border-disputes.

No one pays attention, the planes are fully booked for the coming season,travel agencies are struggling to keep up with the bookings, esspecially from Uk, Australia, Sweden, Germany it is going to be a record season, BOMBS OR NOT, people are only sorry when it is to late.

All bad people should be arrested & put in jail. regardless if he/she is Thai or farangs.

Good Girl!!!!

the thing is the thai soap operas r so good and the movies they make these days so bad , why leave the house ?

Thai soaps are good? Sorry, they are appalling.Written BELOW the lowest common denominator of intellect. The reason is a substantial majority of Thais have never been to school, so never learnt to speak Thai.That means the language used has to be very simple Thai,In the area I live, C.Buriram, they cannot speak Thai.They speak, Suay, Khmer or Isarn. I speak Bangkok Thai, and find it extremely difficult to be understood.A lot of sign language does help!

Mate you are dead right, they dont speak thai in Korat either.

If Farang wants to come to Thailand, they should contribute to the local economy too.

Next time, they bring their own van, to visit their own bars, and drink their own beers, and perhaps even import their own girls (from the Philippines).

Good Idea I fully agree.

For those of you who have wife/girlfriend who was part of the protesters, I would be interested to know what you would be saying when they get back.

Say nothing - don't want to provoke them?

Cheer them up?

Console them?

Kiss and hug them, they deserve every bit of it, love them for what they did, make them feel welcome, they have done a glorious job.

"100 strong crowd"

Wow ... fantastic support.

As a person they have lost their face and as a Thai they have lost their citizenship

Man you have absolutely no Idea for what they were fighting. I for one feel sorry for them and I am sure this is not the last time we have heard from them.

When PM dissolved the house before, this never happened !

Blaim him for all the unnecessary killings.

I fully agree, He should have stepped down.

Do they seriously believe that will restore confidence and bring tourism (tourists) back to Thailand?

You can't extinguish a large fire with a cup of water.

What a 'brilliant' idea

TiT.

Don't worry about it, at least us permanents get a free visa, thank you very much.

A disappointing but unsurprising response from the biggest stubborn mule PM the world has ever seen.

You are death right mate, why doesn't he stand down? and let the public decide, problems solved.

"POOR DEVIL"....... hopefully literally speaking............... He must be drawing all of his hidden accounts down alot - with all of his relocating, and will soon be "poor" (as the poor in Thailand who he cheated out of a better life)............. Wouldn't that be a fitting end of the story?????????????

I would think twice before I would say Taksin cheated the poor, as he did help them indeed. Why do you think all the protests are for now in Bangkok???

Its all about your personal situation and what you have to compare it to. Generally most people of any nationality are fine with living in their home country for life. Brits may be an exception.

My ex wife, I couldn't get her back to Thailand with ten horses, even promising to build a house for her didn't work.

One murder in Lumpang another in Buri Rum? Confesses in custody and pleads not guilty in court. Tells his own lawyer he has done a bad job. Im not convinced he did it.

I think he signed his own death certificate.

Does Thaksin have the Right Weapons to Oust Thai Government?

Jatuporn, Noppadon, Charlerm, Jakrabop, Pojamon, the Damapong clan.

Easy Answer - No

Just wait and see Mate!!!!

I dont know about the right weapons but if 100,000 pickups mobilise anywhere there will be massive fuel shortages, me thinks i better fuel up the day before.

........... March 12/13/14 : book yourself into a resort by the beach or up in the mountain, stockup on liquid necessities,

make sure there's plenty of ice, snacks - who cares about gasoline ! Back to normal (hopefully !! ) after March 15.

Cheers !!

Yes I agree, get a nice big screen TV and watch the scene from your launch chair with a tinny in your hand.

The Pound and the Euro are in deep trouble and it will get worse!

I don't know why you guys are so worried at the drop of your currency, must be because you are used to getting 50-60 bath to the pound. Or 49.00 Bath to the Euro.

We Ozies have been struggling along with our just over $1000 Pensions = 35.000 Bath for ever. Not so long ago we got 22.00 Bath to the dollar, how would you like to live on that?? and do the normal visa runs as well.

Doesn't live much for extravaganza.

not good... not good at all...

Don't have sleepless nights over it, it will sort it self out. I have seen worse.

Its another happy new Red dawn courtesy of The People revolution rising for The People, the People's revolution party speaking for The People etc. hoo~ray.

Shame about the innocent bystanders who always end up getting blown to bits eventually, but I suppose they are not The People, just 'some people' or 'remains of people'. Nurses and doctors and gravediggers are people too, and they get more work thanks to The People Party. Hiphip for the Reds.

I don't care what anybody says,my opinion: Thaksin is a monster because he stirs up embers & tries to create infernos. I think he should have $0 & life in jail. That People Power for the rural poor thing is BS, there's urban poor too & they get bombed because that clown Thaksin has turned disagreements into bombs, and turned people on their friends.

I think before you point a finger at Taksin, you should look around and see what he did for the people mainly in the north and northeast, no matter what bad he did, the fact is he has done more for Thailand than any previous Priminister and that is the reason why so many people stand behind him.
