Bangkok Barry

Didn't THAI have flights there too for awhile.

Mine did, until about 60 years ago. In fact, it was all day closing. Maybe Thailand and its pretend-we-are-Buddhists will catch up eventually and stop dictating when people can shop and when they can't.

How quickly you forget.....

Obviously it does matter. But it takes time for real changes. I'll rephrase it then. What the people think or how they vote is irrelevant. They get the government that is chosen for them. It's been going on for around 80 years so far, so how much longer will it take? The shining light, a new young leader with progressive ideas, has been brushed aside as if swatting a wasp away.

Yah!!! I haven't seen a 'go back to your own country' post for quite a while now. Thank you for reviving the old and idiotic chestnut. You even call the poster a wifebeater. Well done for adding to your ignorance and stupidity. Not a bad effort in just two sentences.

You forgot corruption, such as deliberately deleting patient records from a Sisiket hospital database so the hospital might buy a 3 million baht backup system from a no doubt connected party. But sell a beer - oh no!

Exactly. There can be little doubt about that.

It doesn't matter, does it. It doesn't matter what the people think or how they vote. Not the tiniest bit.

Good choice, Pheu Thai Party. Does 'taken to task' mean he will also be banned from becoming PM?

Thinking ahead. Am I right in thinking that the US has no law or way of preventing a convicted criminal from becoming President, but it does have a law that prevented Obama from being President again?

You forgot that he urged his supporters to "fight like hell". He lit the flames to begin the riots. Not that I expect the blind like you to remember an inconvenient truth.

I'm old enough to remember when phones were used to speak to people. Now, it seems, that is the very last thing they are used for.

It confused me too at first. But if it was straightforward and clear it wouldn't be Thailand, would it.

I thought that was illegal. Nice of them to confess on national tv though.

Maybe they knew exactly what they were buying them for. Good for keeping both the sun and rain off. Not unusual for Thais to also wear what I would guess is equally uncomfortable headgear.

Among the biggest criminals in Thailand are those whose job it is to uphold the law. Every Thai knows that, and it is accepted as the norm.

About 45 years ago I had a job dealing with UK telecom bills. If a bill seemed out of the ordinary it was flagged before we sent it out. It seems that PEA is still to catch up with a system to avoid erroneous bills.

And engines are optional

All foreigners are considered to be tourists in the Thai mind. Including immigration, who graciously allow us to 'visit' our wife - as long as we report to them every 90 days as if we are on probation. If it was a tourist, which I very much doubt as they rarely if ever travel vast distances with their dog, then the foreign media will soon pick it up and expose Thai safety standards and warn tourists that they enter the sea at their own risk.

So dogs on a lead don't poop? That's a new one for me. And have you ever seen someone take a dog for a run on the beach with a lead, when the whole point is that they can run around,

Thanks

The link suggests that the deceased took the curve too fast and drove into the bus. Even a straight road is too difficult for some. Add a curve and .......

It's the kind of people that Thailand attracts. Plenty on here every day making moronic comments which they think, in their child-like mind, are funny. Actually, they are pathetic.

I got my wife out of that habit very early. We were trying to have a coffee at Silom Complex in Bangkok and could see our drinks on the counter getting cold while the waitress stood there talking with other staff. So my wife went to them, told them we were not having the coffees and why and we left. I doubt that they cared, though.

I stopped reading after the first few paragraphs. One, it mentioned all afternoon and all night. The place was clearly identified as Nana Plaza, which is closed until the evening, so one lie presented as fact. Two, girls as young as 13 there. Again, total fantasy, unless the author spoke to anyone, did some research, and was told and/or had proof of their age. Three, girls are sold to the highest bidder for as little as a packet of fries. All totally false, yet the website speaks of its values. It doesn't have any.
