I've probably dived Hardeep a dozen or so times. Sure it's bit tricky getting down there ala have to walk yourself down the anchor line but I didn't find it too difficult after that.

It seems to me if he could have inflated his bcd (even manual if out of air), dropped his weight belt and been quite alright.

Buy the hot seats and they never bother you.

Only seen one melt down pre- boarding from saigon to bangkok. The lad was seriously taking the mick with his bag and they pulled out a handheld credit card machine. He paid but was clearly pissed.

Sounds like the usual porkies....

Hmmmm plenty of Thailand birds in bikinis in southern Thailand at the beach and not at the beach. I have even seen topless. So let's not tell porkies.

Balloon chasing will help the budget!!!

No the General has no point apart from sticking his own boot in his gob. Not very bright at all - no matter how he tries to spin it.

Well judging from past crackdowns if I was a wagering lad I would say sort yourself out for the near term. Long term - odds are pretty much in your favour with things going back to how they normally operate. As they say weather the storm and sunshine will be on it's way in due time.

^and it will never last I'm afraid unless they follow the North Korean model.

Muppets leading the muppets - circus continues.

I know quite a few old lads who are skint and they seem to still pull the ladies. I don't know why someone thinks you can't shag if you reach a certain age. (some do and do so quite well - perhaps its Viagra??? ) The only thing I can think is the younger lads are threatened by adding more competition or can't fathom not getting there first.

age is irrelevent - if 2 adults decide they want a relationship then who are any of us to judge. (really not our business)

At any rate what does someone's age have to do with the poor murdered thai bird anyways? It could easily been a 19yr old thai lad that is responsible.

Well just shows you kidnapping is tolerated.

Excellent article and I almost fell off my chair when it came from The Nation.

Courts have been embarrassingly biased against the government and sanctioned rule by street mob. Basically said the police have no power or authority to maintain order - protect oneself, open govt buildings, unblock streets, stop harrassment of govt officials, stop polls being blocked and ballots being stolen. As I said during the Red protests many years ago - any sort of street protest like reds did in 2010, yellows in 2006, and current whistle mob should never be allowed ever. This craziness needs to stop - it doesnt work and it ultimately sets up the next set of protesters to do their thing.

Good move, but bit pointless since we know the NACC won't have the bottle to do anything about it.

Good work to the BIB - military should not be involved with this and hope he spends some time in the monkeyhouse.

Checked once and apparently the Cambodia excursion to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap flagged me. Took a look at my netbook and he got bored after the 1000th temple ruin pic. It didn't bother me much apart from wasting his and my time however I guess they must catch people doing this or it wouldn't happen.

Exactly if he considered himself Thai and his home for so long - he quite easily could of gotten thai citizenship. Then he could act like a clown like the rest of them without repercussions.

The Hague???

Not the brightest thing in the world to do because you have no idea on what the argument was about.

I saw a farang do much the same when a thai lad was verbally absuing a thai bird - he got in the middle of it and then got laid out with some nearby rebar. You just never know what might happen.

Any rate take your new found luck and go play the lottery.
