Now if they only had a network to connect them too....

The True 3G map for Phuket is totally miss-leading. I have been in Phuket for 2 days now and have never received any 3G service, only 2.5G. I have tried multiple times to enable and disable the 3G service on my phone in hopes to find some 3G but no luck. I even tried to power off and on my phone but still no 3G found. My wife has AIS and it works fine...

Seriously!! This is traditional CYOA (Cover Your Own Ass) by the US government who doesn't really understand anything about the people or environment they push this too. This may actually stop thousands of Americans from visiting Thailand for the holidays...

Oh, St. Valentine’s Day Masecure... Well more like a St. Valentine’s Day suicide but intreaging just the same.. Looks like I know where I will be on the 14th... Did you know Thailand ranks 56th in suicieds? Firearms are also the top method of suicide while knives don't enven rank in the top 10 and often the sucide is mistaken for a desire for self-mutalation. THANKS WIKIPEDIA!!!

I can't believe they plan on spending 8 Billion baht of the peoples money to change a slogan to something truly meaningless.

As usual the Thai Police couldn't find a way to manage 180 taxi and tuk-tuk drivers... Useless Police Force unless you are a high ranking government official and want a few hundred Police to block the roads off for you.

I didn't see any report of there being guns... Armed in Thailand could mean sticks ans stones.

Zone 2 Parking Lot at Airport Closed off by Armed Men.......

Why is it not in the media?

Nothing on the net from Bangkok post.

$6M down the drain... What a bunch of smoke up the butt.

I think it's the Farang's doing all the drinking... One Farang drinks about the same amount as 10 Thai's so the problem might not be the Thai's that are drinking.. Cheers

Hi, I think the information sounded good and video is always an effective way to communicate but I had to stop watching due to motion sickness form the camera moving all over the place. Would suggest a fixed camera for this type of communication in the future.

Cheers

I seem to remember an American Hero named Paul Revere who became famous for his courage in the face of horrifying situations. I believe he is also most well known for his famous early warning system during the AMerican Civil War when he would ride through towns on his horse crying "The RED COAT's are coming, the RED COAT's are coming!"

Wiki RED

The word red comes from the Old English rēad.[5] Further back, the word can be traced to the Proto-Germanic rauthaz and the Proto-Indo European root reudh-. In Sanskrit, the word rudhira means. In the English language, the word red is associated with the color of blood, certain flowers (e.g. roses), and ripe fruits (e.g. apples, cherries). Fire is also strongly connected, as is the sun and the sky at sunset. Healthy light-skinned people are sometimes said to have a "ruddy" complexion (as opposed to appearing pale). After the rise of socialism in the mid-19th century, red was to describe revolutionary movements.[6]
