Easy to see how keeping bars open at 3:30 am is a recipe for disaster...every single time. What do people do at that hour? How about just closing and letting people sleep. (not to mention it is a holiday and they were in violation). Midnight sounds about right, for closing the cash register... although I would agree that door should be locked tight by 1am. That is plenty night life....and people are already drunk enough.

A lot depends if you are 20 or 80 year old

.A lot of people do not venue out until 10 or 11 at night.

That's why it's called night life and not early evening life.

Night Life stops at Midnight , why not close all bars then ? After Midnight it is early morning , who needs to drink in the early morning. Winos and tourist p..... pots mainly.

After midnight is early morning? What do you think the "mid" in midnight stands for? Is after lunch (noon) already evening for you, too?

I don't get the remarks about these guys being black. They're obviously white and gold!

The censorship code thinks that you're writing "eff you", "F.U." etc. So no Kung <deleted>, but other martial arts should pass :-)

The farang did apoligise and paid the Bht400. So think it was just a case of mistaking the money .

Suuuure... because this: 100, 100, 100, 100 looks so much like this: 20, 20. Or "Roi" is a homonym for "Sip".

Nope, the guy was trying to cheat.

There were no signs of rape, the official said. Probably weren't any signs of a lot of things but what brought about that comment? Does that not remind of a kid volunteering an unsolicited statement that there's nothing hidden in his desk. Just sayin'....

Yesterday this forum was up in arms because exactly these words were missing. So perhaps the police has someone to read TVF and they issued this statement for the benefit of all the critical readers on here? Can't ever get it right, these poor chaps...

Where was the Unity March and the world-leaders a couple of months back in Gaza City??

After Israel killed more than 2000 people, most of them civilians and among them more than 500 children!!

No wonder that our Arab friends sometimes question Western hypocrisy and double standards!!

Was there a march of Arab/Muslim leaders instead, with say 500,000 Palestinians on the streets of Gaza City?

You attend family's and friends' funerals, not those of strangers. Where were the family and friends of the people of Gaza?

Its funny to see immigrants complain about other immigrants in their home country. Did you convert to Buddism ? Do you speak the language ? Do you live in a farang getto like Pattaya ?

So many similarities with immigrants in your own country, but its better to put them down of course. I begin to see the English as some of the most racist countries in the world. Next time the Germans must help us beat the English when set up the camps. How the world can change.

I wont bother to argue with you ,your replies are not inteligent enough ,no one cares about a few immegrants in a country i and my fellow English/American ,ect are not settling here in our millions ,demanding special privalages most of us are married to local women ,(who do not have to convert to our faith to be with us) we build a few churches ,but the priests in many of them do not preach hate against Thailand and Bhuddist ways, i dont demand that Stores sell only meat killed in a certain way(by the way neither did the Jews who came to Britain years ago) i had no problem when a small amount of Muslims came to my country and just blended in ,but if you cannot see what is happening in the west then ,what can i say? sorry but people like yourself have nothing to discuss so best we dont.

You seriously didn't know that when you accuse someone of not being "inteligent" (sic), you absolutely must get this one word right. If you do, people will ignore whatever you say about "immegrants", "privalages" and focus on your arguments - which unfortunately you forgot to include in your little rant here.

What nationality are you really?

LOL. If your name is "Frodo Underhill" or you're member of the "French Union", the censorship robot will make it impossible for you to use your initials <deleted>.

Hmm. No mention of the four Jews killed in the kosher market. Must have not happened as far as Malaysia is concerned.

Not just Malaysia, in fact the lack of inclusion of the 4 Jews is so noticeable that some newspapers have articles just about this.

Interesting that these guys keep trying to stay alive and get away, instead of going down in a blaze of glory, like true "martyrs" would.

For me this says: There's money involved, a lot, and they want to live it out big and in freedom. So definitely, absolutely get those two scumbags alive and persuade them to give away the details of their paymaster.

we have come to the conclusion, this isn't an issue to one specific country, we are all in danger of being victims to this from the USA to United Kingdom, to France....they can attack and kill our people, but they won't kill our resolve and our desire to live peacefully free from terror and murder....

As an American, I really feel for some of these European countries, they have basically become a mini middle east....Turks in Germany, North Africans in France, Pakistanis in England and a few bad apples WILL ruin it for the rest, the majority peace loving, abiding Muslims...while my country men worry about a mexicans crossing the border to work at McDonalds, my European brothers have legitimate fear about who will next immigrate to their country..

As an American, your geography is terrible!

Turkey is in Asia (and a small part in Europe).

North Africa is in, well, North Africa.

Pakistan is in Asia.

Anywhere but the Middle East, mini or not.

Now the big malls of Bangkok, there you have your Mini Middle East. Coincidentally these people come from the countries that side with the West but are behind large parts of the financing of terror networks.

To live peacefully free from terror (fear) and murder, well that right would extend to those listed as "collateral damage" after a drone strike as well, or is this only a Western concept and only we Whites are eligible for this?

I beg to differ I don't know of any Christians from the west that are causing terror and killing people in the name of Jesus unless your talking about 800 years ago , in fact not one part of Jesus word mention or says it's ok to kill not one part of that new testaments

I usually consider the IRA a religious (catholic) motivated, foreign (US-Irish) sponsored terrorist organization (not so much anymore now but certainly less than the 800 years you mention). But usually, Christian extremism is so nicely rolled up into day-to-day racism that it's easier to label it with the latter (USA, Russia, some of Eastern Europe to be current examples).

I'm not going to read through 11 pages of predictable ThaiVisa reactions, but I'd wager that nobody mentioned or is even aware of the fact that on the same day, more than 3 times the amount of lives (37) were lost by a car bomb in Yemen, possibly from AQ. Is there a thread here on TV? Didn't see much about it in other news sources. Yemen? Not us, not like us, them, not worth the mention... day-to day racism when even 3 of them are worth less (in news) than one of "us".

Almost all of the victims of Islamic terror are muslims, and yet somehow that is all "their" fault, too? Ah, the bigotry of TV...

"Almost all of the victims of Islamic terror are muslims, and yet somehow that is all "their" fault, too?"

Are you seriously posing that question??? No of course a muslim killing a muslim is not a muslims fault. It's the fault of the west; right?

I'm talking about the muslim victims of muslim terror, obviously.

More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland. (source)

Probably correct but what's your point? That anything below the 9-11 figures is not *real* terrorism?

Cry, cry a river. I guess we hit a nerve. You can kiss their <deleted> all you want, here's a cookie, run off and let adults talk amongst themselves.

Yeah, totally adult and mature reply.

No Shirt/No Shoes - No Enlightnment

No enlightenment, but definitely some insight.

He never was in any danger since the bulk of bigots that wanted to be his judges & executioners never moved their bile bloated bulks from behind their keyboards. In such a peculiar manner, TV keeps the streets clean from people one would rather never meet.

Sideline, it took 28 words to describe the composition of the raiding police force.

A German language source is far more accurate and detailed. Apparently the guy is a lawyer (boasting of 40+ clients in Thailand) and either has some money or likes to take photos of large properties (look as his Badoo friend finder page). Definitely likes to wear huge watches. A bit like a pimp in a white collar business (oh, I already said he's a lawyer) as far as the taste and presentation go. Anyway, as per Badoo he's been divorced "4 weeks ago" and "hope to meet you soon".

One of the types I'll do my best to avoid, yet fits in perfectly into Thailand.

Clearly something needs to be down to alleviate the traffic problem, but some sort of unified transport card would go a long way to encouraging people to switch between the different methods- from MRT to BTS to BRT to... whatever the monorail is going to be called.

Am I the only way who hears this song in my head when they read the word monorail..?

Thank you! Not only did you save me the time, but now I know I'm not the only one who has this reflex reaction upon hearing the word "Monorail".

That Simpson episode basically ruined monorails for the rest of my life :-)

Perhaps if roles were reversed... Palestinians shelling Jerusalem and settlements, Israelis bombing airliners, murdering hostages and decapitating villagers left and right, then the sympathies would shift in their favor?

Sounds like the usual all-or-nothing approach which will ultimately fail because it's not workable. I'd love to see Silom as a walking street (ie no motorized traffic) from Rama 4 to Narathiwatratchanakarindaraohmygodimsohappymystreetaddressisshort but how's that supposed to work?

Two lines of street stalls around Saladaeng have been too much, but the few food stalls had some great snacks after 7pm. Hope they can stay at their regular corners.
