Tue Nov 18: why this gruesome thing is not yet on national papers e.g. BKK Post, The Nation nor on international tabloids - anything wrong with the story?

Certainly doesn't assist those at the bottom of the societal pile who find their finances squeezed once again

oh yes it will - benefit their state of health! It is a world-wide phenomenon that obesity based on 3rd class quality food and drinks which are amber- liquid (coz of the sugars in them) comes with the bottom of society - look at all those tons of excessive weight walking about e.g. in Mexican slums or any lowly area of the U.S. ... or the U.K. ... or BKK for that...

Sure he isn't Burmese?

no - he hails from Cambodia and is an accomplice to the Burmese leader

I can understand the rice thefts when the 'Rice Scheme' was in operation but not now

even more understandable these days with the price down to < thb 10; in order to make a decent cut same as last year / 2 yrs ago you need to substantially increase the quantity of your crop - that's about all...by the way, Buriram is very close to Cambodia so we venture to guess that no Thai thoroughbred pinched all these piles, must be the notorious foreign gangs from yonder the border - how about they get DNAed just for sure?

That is one of the most accusatory finger "points" I have seen in a long time. This is a man with practice or just a natural born pointer.

I think he is of the U.K. breed of the famous five-legged pointer

"he went over to his motorbike and got his gun" So he just happened to have a gun on him? normal people don't ride around with a gun on them.

you do not have the slightest clue about Thai society as a nationwide well- armed bunch...

"notifications can be made online"................just as long as you can read and write Thai that is.

you "not being able to read or write Thai" - farang do not have to do anything about this notification; your hotel, hostel, private host, girlfriend or your brothel or beer bar ... whereever you spend most of your time ... - has to take care of this

<we can only arrest one Nigerian man Oshi-Oma Declan, 30, and his wife Songsee Khamsee, 31, for the 20 grams of cocaine. They are also dealers, but we are still looking for another Nigerian man who personally dealt with Mr Jeremy>

oh, those <removed>...when coming to Thailand they make immigration believe they are just sports students -- their playground being Lower Suk and similarly well-visited venues

SEND HIM HOME HE IS A NUTTER

send him home to where? Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Syria?

"Mr. Walid Chami aged 36"

Before, I did not intend to go there and this simply remains valid (nothing to do with the present case of highly or lowly thugs)

....did I read correctly........spent 1000 Euros in a matter of hours.....???

no problem...if you (and I) can do then they can do just as well

AGREE - The airport train has been a disaster waiting to happen from the beginning

AGREE - Everyone behind the project should be held accountable for these failures

AGREE - Before we embark on a high-speed train project or any other large-scale infrastructure construction, let's scrutinise the mistakes made in previous projects

One example of the cost of corruption and cronyism. Accountability is definitely on the right track.

and again - which particular group gets mad about all this? foreigners, visitors and expats alike. But the real Thai amongst all of us sits smug and cozy in just another big bag of money and that was the only reason for all this ap link exercise. Why the foreigners will never understand that mega- projects like this are never started in order to do something real worth- while about infrastructure and all that crap: They are initiated just for one single reason, gentlemen (and ladies...)!

What a nonsense, instead they should cut it down to less 10 provinces.

agreed, around 8 would help...but then: the U.S. cuts down to 10 states, In Oz, Victoria merges with Tassie, Germany reduces to 4 states, France to just a handful of provinces (that country had been max- centralized ever since despite that many provinces...) etc.

I'm surprised none of the left wing women's rights media/journos have given him grief over the "...unless they are not beautiful." aspect of his comment.

I am not surprised --- all those ageing female office staffers must have consulted their mirrors prior to muttering something about "slender, natural beauty..."

the best Thai credit card is from HSBC Hong Kong ...

<while African tourists rose even more by 4-5 per cent>

isn't that a lovely development, guys from the 4th world with enough money to travel the globe. I think most of them go straight to Suk 2-11 to pursue their business.

For sure the murdered babe ...

apparently, that was not premeditated murder on the toddler but the little one (and the mother) obviously were in the path of stray bullets

A Thai-Chinese who want to save some money on the fuel for his Benz? could afford the car but not the gasoline?

the car was presented by some dark, hidden powers - the gas he has to pay for himself

DEFINITELY suicide - the BIB did not even find traces of a 3rd party's involvement

I feel sorry for the foreigner using Thai Nominee Shareholding ..., but they know it was illegal in the beginning

why should one feel sorry for somebody losing everything to his own farang greed?

Wheel clamping will not effective as a tow away solution where by the motorist will be hit

harder costlier paying for the tow and storage charges, that might send the right message...

and - on top of that - pick up his car in a car park in the middle of nowhere!

Say goodbye to your sun chair, umbrella and cold drink

not necessarily - buy yourself a sun deck w/table affixed and an umbrella plus an esky (with ice and grog), put it on your pickup ... enjoy the beach!

Wouldn't be wholly surprised if they found a buried body hidden down there as well.

 

yeah - could just as well be the faithful, forgotten guard to all these treasures
 

pardon my apparently poor math skills but,

 

14,000,000

 -1,400,000

----------------

12,600,000

as a Thai I would retort "the typical Western approach of abusing mere figures and tie them to a mean, complicated formula; only to make us look feel bad"
