"British envoy puts record straight on Thai image"

Yes.

He said "its a pack of clowns, not a group of clowns"

As long as Thaksin is alive the Thai government will be unstable.

As long as Thaksin is alive the Thai government will be unstable.??????????

As long as Thailand is alive the Thai government will be unstable.

In a country where idiotic crap abounds there's always another jaw dropper just around the corner. Thank God at least my kids now won't need to live in a fools paradise with an inevitable high price to pay at some time in the future.

That strange feeling that you're having Thaksin is honesty. This must be the first honest and accurate comment you've ever made.

Its a government vetted rag anyway. No such thing as a free press in Thailand. Theres always an angle and a price to be paid for free speach. Anyone who says otherwise is suffering from selfdillusion. Keep on dancing Thailand the edge of the cliff is still miles away. I HOPE.

A Kingdom of Fools dancing on a house of cards.

Happy to be out of it.

Sorry for the money I left behind.

,,,, only a few more thousand to go

Professional Thai policeing.

The best Police force money can buy.

You are refering to Liquidated Damages and your friend would need to be able to prove that the delay has caused him to incurr costs that are equal to the amount that he is claiming in damages.

Court option could cost you more than you are able to recover depending on the circumstances.

Maybe a trusted third party negotiation is best just to complete the contract, your friend gets the boat, the builder gets paid and the delay and lack of accountability or enforceability at law in a good lession to us all about doing business in a place like Thailand.

Shouldn't it be the Finance Ministry as the lack of any real chance of making a good living is driving people over the edge.

All our Thai friends tell us the last 3 or 5 years are not really what Thai people are like.

Well really all the unbelievable events and upheaval is a true reflection of what Thai people and society is like and their wish for people to believe otherwise is just part of the asian ego building exercises we see everywhere everyday.

What people think is more important than what happens - Welcome to a third world country going backwards.

I'm looking for comments/advice on the best value for money (cost v quality) options for mobile internet access for a Laptop computer here in Thailand.

Recent good speed computer and only in the major centres like Chang Mai, Udon, Bangkok, Pattaya & Phuket.

Thanks for any comments.

DVD 9 Single 100 baht Multiple 80 baht

Blue Ray HD Single 200 baht Multiple 180 baht

Look for Homeworks or Homepro.

Homepro is sometimes cheaper when the monthly specials are on.

They are all over Bangkok.

You can't leave the secure area on transit. All you can do is make the most of it.

Shopping, Bars, Coffee Shops.

Get on a BTS Skytrain route. E5 Sukhumvit Soi 33 or around is good.

Plenty of good apartments for 15,000 to 25,000 baht monthly.

Chock Dee.

Try GEMOPLIS tax free business zone out near the airport.

Mostly HQ jewelery.

When I first moved to live here 6 years ago I imported some of my own personal items.

At Don Muang got presented with a bill from an agent for 16,800 baht and tlold goods will not be released until the bill was paid.

Got the Thai customs involved after about 2 hours talking goods were released to me and paid 3,800 baht for some of the so called paperwork done by the agent.

Put my stuff in a cab with 3 or 4 minders looking on and drove away.

I should have known then what a backward place this is.

Amazing Thailand.

Come visit a third world country divided.

On a trip from Bangkok to Sakon Nakhon I always get stopped about 4 to 6 times.

Starts at 200 baht to 100 baht then 20 baht and I NEVER pay.

Longest I've been kept is 50 minutes, average is 10 to 15 minutes and then just let go.

THE HIGHWAY ROBBERS OF THAILAND.

As he clearly doesn't have any love or care for this nation...it's a wonder anyone can support him.

They appear to support his memory more than his reality.

Rent a crowd.

200 baht a day is better than no baht a day.

Looking for a nationalist distraction to political problems at home.

Send in the troops. It works on both sides of the boarder.

RIP Martin.

Now the usual Thai damage control until things blow over and new customers are available for the same useless loss of life next week.

Our country, our way is on display for all to see and more and more people are becoming fully informed to make their own independent informed decisions about Thailand, its risks and the way its people conduct themselves.

They must be master criminals.

No one would suspect an increased level of surveillance and enforcement with ASEAN.

:jerk:

Most men who visit Thailand have a cocktale or two.

:jerk:

To make the changes needed even to return Thailand to an even footing with the rest of the developed world would take 20 years of relentless hard work. Can't see it ever happening and Thailand will continue to lag further and further behind and rely more and more on useless asian ego building to support the mass illusion that Thailand leads the world.

At what. Pineapples, small female weightlifting, military coups ????????????????

Will the last one out please shut the door and turn out the lights.

Looks like all of Thaksins friends are on the out too.

But really how could you ever trust the permanence of any government decisions here regarding government, business, property or immigration.???????????

Total about faces are not common they are normal.
