I just hope at the end of destroying isis, any of the Jihadists that survived should be charged with war crimes and legally be sentenced to death by firing squad or hanged. radicals won't change

there wont be that luxury...they will blow themselves up.Even if the west says"IS" are defeated,i believe they will morph into something else,and fix their attention on the 7 "stans" in S/E russia and onto western china(urghars),where finally they will meet their match.

the whole point of social media was for the public in general to be able to express a point of view without fear of intimidation,i guess it did n't work out.Governments dont like being criticised and clampdowns will get worse as security is deemed to get worse.

Welcome to 1984.

so the old terminal 1 will be for international flights?...package tours from malaysia and china perhaps.

Someone better tell this ignorant company that it is not allowed to reuse plastics to manufacture bags to contain foods, even in Thailand.

how about just banning plastic bags and bottles?...too difficult,too many interested parties would lose money?

Choeng Mon used to be a great kick back and relax beach.

"used to".....yes,but not for much longer.stay in your coffee shop in BKK smokie,much more relaxing!

how exciting!

dont they supply suicide pills?

What an idiot statement.Shows complete lack of common sense and strategic judgement. If she is going to anti 'big bank', then shut up, and wait until she is president (to the detriment of the American people and the world), otherwise don't poke the bear.

should have been done back in 2008.everyone sees through madame clinton.

Oh dear. Silly old boys.

Holiday ruined, bank account emptied all for the prospect of a bit of action with two Chiang Mai slappers.

Aren't you meant to get wiser with age?

ha ha!...no you get more stupid,more gullible,but you know that.what disappoints me is one of the ladies was 50 plus!....could n't they have least bought a couple of 20 something beauties?

Booze always on sale at our local temple grounds during Lou Krathong, can't see this year being any different.

they say this every year,for sonkran, too and new year.

Is this all about false pride?................it cant be about money as most native english speaking teachers are n't paid very well.Better earnings to be had in korea,china and japan.

Or is it more about keeping the population ignorant,cos with out good language/computer skills thais will continue to receive subsistence wages.

Thai english teachers are notably poor teachers because they are lazy and cannot be bothered to get a grasp of the grammar, so necessary for good communication.We know this cos the thai language is lazy and basic within itself.

Right wing people often think the BBC is biased to the left. Left-wingers often find it biased to the right.

This tells us two things -

1 - The BBC presents a balanced view.

2 - Some people don't like hearing any point of view that contradicts their own.

good post and very true.I think the BBC is a namby pamby wet liberal's dream and a pathetic excuse for a news service,but then i'm not called ghengis khan for nothing!

They gotta have someone to blame.How about if they had taken airport security seriously,it may not have happened.But you know,money talks as does,"hey bro you gotta do this for Islam"..."just think of the prize,those damn virgins up there all for you bro,come on you know you can do it"

Every year we get this"is samui dead"...........well its dead for some and its busy for others.The busiest places on samui are the roads,and they are beginning to be a pain in the arse,more cars,bikes,trucks etc and no where to widen the roads

yes everyone needs sleep to replenish energy,but everyone's need(sleep) is different.Going without sleep makes us sluggish,the brain foggy,and we get irritable.

Thanks for the well wishes. I know there are a lot of villages in the North of Thailand that don't have power yet, lots of tribes. They arent contaminated by the soap operas

can i come....sounds interesting,thai soaps have contaminated every walk of thai life,like its ok to shoot each other,its ok to attack each other,and its ok to have a bit on the side.I might like the hill tribes and no soap!

"a traditional Thai wife" What exactly are your expectations?

good question,what exactly is a traditional thai wife,can the OP explain.

"looking for a thai wife"..................not exactly difficult,they'll be queueing up

I really get the feeling that this is revenge for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Well, whatever beef I may have with the Ruskies here and elsewhere, it's a pretty disgusting thing if somebody took revenge by killing a planeload of innocent people who had nothing to do with the Malaysia Air shootdown.

nothing to do with M17.....just payback for russia's attacks in syria.However one could say what goes round comes round in regards to M17

What a sad waste of life. This lady might have kids or dependant family members. Absolutely senseless, barbaric behaviour.

Very difficult to figure out why exactly the male population in this country has such a disproportionately high amount of complete nutters in it. I hope the man gets his just desserts down the line somewhere. Very deserving

I have found thai people to be incredibly jealous.

Well i have a problem with any guy who treats women like this,do thai men have a propensity for this,i dont know,

Rod stewart's voice has matured with age....a great performer who knows how to woo a crowd.Hope he goes on for many more years yet.

Who does n't have a negative attitude towards the USA.But primarily the USA has lost the respect of its adversaries and its friends,and further more its a country that is on a slippery slope internally.....a society that is becoming poorer by the day.

Surely if it was a bomb on board they would have found fragments of said bomb.Cant really believe anybody these days.

Just give the palestinians a proper homeland,give them some hope of a future that they can determine themselves.

Most of them want that "homeland" to include Tel Aviv, etc. and have been brainwashed from babies to think Jews don't have a right to any state in the middle east.

Therein lies the problem.

many arabs live in peace side by side with israelis,in tel aviv...i grant you jerusalem is a different matter because each claim it as their religious birth place
