i have never eaten at McD, but i know all the sheep and poor do....so i buy shares of McD and make millions as the poor eat bad meat, fish, and enjoy spending a few dollars on bad food...

love McD, they control the masses!!

Yes, and how many poor in thailand have you seen in McD? its for the thai middle class who want to be western...

Can anyone name any attempt by Thailand to be the hub of anything ever succeed?

Due to the rather unpleasant and eco-unfriendly habit of letting the engine run stationary no doubt. Coupled with a faulty exhaust system.

We live next to a restaurant - unfortunately- and it happens all the time. Thai like their car to be cool when they come back from lunch - who cares about the people living in the soi choking on exhaustfumes - not his problem!

If it weren't for my wife I would carkey them all.

In a way it's poetic justice, really.

Poetic justice that a woman and 5 year old boy dies, you're a class act...

RIP, young men. But why didn't they stop?

Maybe they did not wear helmets and could not afford to pay 300 baht - a day's wages?

Article says carrying 50 meth pills++ fail to stop <deleted> em...

Edited the deleted word is <deleted>

Why is everybody so shocked I've only been here for 15 years but as long as I can remember alcoholic drinks have always been blurred on TV And never shown in print media,so why not expand this to social media, I think its the same with showing people smoking maybe im wrong...

Of course, the producers knew there would be a reaction.

It's an intentional, calculated and cynical marketing ploy and will get airtime, a pathetic response from the 'actors' etc. and people talking about the show.

Job done.

I think you give them too much credit... they're not that clever.

So you can't just use someone elses 13 digit internet access code and get them In a whole load of trouble, don't think he thought that one through too well or even at all...

Whoop whoop only a single database to hack and collect all available data...

So while accepting the ITU award and all the while thinking ehhhh, ummmm, if only they knew what we have planes for a single gateway so as to control the internet, hehehehe I wonder if they'll want the award back after they find out what we're up to???

Now that's integrity isn't it, kinda like the BIB getting 2 cash rewards for doing their job claiming the case is solved and it's no where now solved...

Thainess???

Maybe President Obama gave him some contacts in the NSA to help snooping without the need to move to a single Internet Gateway?

Get a floor safe, not so easy to dig out a meter of concrete...

Funny how the family waited for the train why didnt they call the cops

Because they didn't want him getting a 500 baht fine and a slap on the wrist, better a good kicking first then call the cops...

automobile experts from King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok

KMUTNB is a reputable University and quite capable of providing these experts.

Do you think they should be brought in from the Toyota team in Japan?

They should use computer modelling like every other competent crash investigation team, sorry as I type it I see the problem with my comment 'competent'

Theres 1 thai soap that uses the first few bars from the Simpsons theme as a sound effect... that must be copyright infringement, unless FOX loves the thai soaps.

Just remove 'Bus-stops in' from the thread title

I used it last time successfully, but went for an exit visa and immigration asked me not to use as they found it confusing... not sure the hua hin immigration is up to speed with it.

Words, words, words... backed up by some actions would make a refreshing change.

This government and I mean every department needs a press release vetting agency to stop them sounding and looking incompetent...

scary idea that this moron was carrying a weapon.

I wonder how many unregistered guns are in circulation.

My message is....don't count on a gentlemans fight ever downhere it is eighter 'wack with a pack' or gunned down.

Careful now - you might wake up the Gun Lobby here. They will tell you that if the girlfriend had legally owned an assault rifle (and carried it around with her) he would not have dared...so it is really her own fault for not protecting herself.

Forget the snidy about the gun lobby; you saying she bears no responsibility just because she is the victim ? She knew about his temper and his gun yet she kept at him. She knew what she should be expecting when she got him that wound up. She could have tried to cool thing down before they got out of hand.

At least he has the balls to publicly announce and admit his urge and need to be the unopposed dictator. I like his chutzpah.

It's better than corrupt proxy leaders in other countries using NSA, CIA, FBI, IRS, etc. to intimidate individuals while trying to make the masses believe they have the power to vent through opposition.

Instead they try to make race wars to distract from the fact that their country is bankrupt and needs more debt and war to continue functioning.

Disclaimer: If this post offends anyone, I will delete it. No need to ban me for a few days or give me points for stirring things up.

Thank you for speaking the truth about the US and the General.

I was living here when a MEGLOMANIAC named ThakSin bought votes outside of Bangkok and became the PM.

I could see a lot of trouble coming and left in 2005 to wait for his departure before returning.

Waited 10 years and because of the courage or "chutzph" of a guy named Prayut, have finally been able to return and can see that thee is a RENIESANCE happening here.

We need to do everythig we can to encourage this and keep the WRONG people from interfereing.

It appears to me the he is genuine and read in the paper that the King of the country agrees.

Troll...

... and still another had climbed onto statues of revolutionary heroes to have his photo taken. ...

Thailand had a revolution?...

They don't say it happened in Thailand, this is about actions happening anywhere I think.

Great naming of the initiative after recent events...

time the German embassy stepped in and asked some questions... but I'm betting they won't, weak...

So, this is a conman ?

Okay, have you heard the story of the Australian man in Thailand ? He talked to a Thai lady and told her that he would take her to Australia, and he paid for a few drinks and food for her. He said that sex between the two of them would greatly improve the chances of him taking her to Australia, so the lady went ahead with various sexual acts with him.

In the end, he never took her to Australia. The police were never able to punish him with any court case or penalty. And there are rumours that he did this with three different women.

I take your point....the difference though, is the women the Ozzy took advantage of were out to take advantage of him, too, and the Ozzy did not charge them thousands of baht. The victims in the OP were not, they simply believed he could help them and they paid the conman cash,

So, if a woman has sex with a man in order to improve whatever life she has, that's called taking advantage of him ??

Yes, the Ozzy never charges thousands of baht, but he does get sex though. That's worth at least a thousand, more like two thousand baht, per day, right ?

The women 'cheated' by the Ozzy paid in sex, they also believed that the man would help them into a new and improved life.

The British landed gentry used to send convicts to Australia for a life of slavery for stealing a loaf of bread to feed their supressed families too.

They were sent by the court, it wasn't slavery and a sentence of life was never given for stealing a loaf of btead, but apart from them facts you're correct...

Maybe David and Hannah´s families would have liked another Division in the Policeforce to have taken over when it started to go into a Circus-show but of course they are not thais and not billionaries ... Sad sad country for sure ...

But you see how even billionaires struggle when others with power have different interests. That makes it sad, still love it here but realize that the corruption makes live hard for many people.

... and easy for the powerful...

Must be too early for any finger pointing...
