" the majority of Thais earn mid-range income, said the Minister of Energy" He is totally out o range, The majority earns less than 150 bath a day. The people he talks about lives in Bangkok only.

The general is loosing his grip now. I and everybody ells can see it. He just do the same as the boss before did. No real changes. Look to this murder case on this tourist destination. The PM said its not scapegoats. How the hell do he know that ?????

Do this mean we can discuss politics this weekend. And stop Monday morning ??

safe area ??? When was the last violence here ? Yesterday ??? No way. stay out of that area.

I think everybody will anowledge that Thailand i a thrugout violens coceity. We just have to warn everybody of or fellows. Do not go to Thailand. Its much safere around the Mediterainian sea.

Thais does never following the manufacturer norms according air pressure in the tires. My father in law pumped my Vigo, which shall have 29 PSI till 60 PSI. One tire blew up a few days later. I took the car to a workshop to check the other tires and they all had cracks inside crosswise. I had to change all the tires 25K. But I told the old man to stay away from the air-pump when using my truck.

3 Whips on the back, 6 months in an inactive post, then back again to sareptas vase.

Sounds like things that would be more than welcome several places in Thailand.

Some might be against this, because it should be in Thailand's own interest to make those investments, but nothing really happens. Also, if so it would be one big cartel case with a lot of money involved, oh well, it probably will anyway :-)

This means that Thailand, as it is, needs help to get their buses, trains, etc. form A to B. This also means a big trillion bill which some of the Thais have to pay. Not all Thais, but the ones paying tax. There are a few of them, and maybe they moves to Japan to make some money from this plan ?

The Thai rural poor usually do not need to plan financially for their retirement as the 'family system' will take care of everything they may need in the future. I see many examples of this each and every day (too many to list here) and it works just fine. In my own family several members are approaching forced retirement (rice growers back) and are not, and never have been, concerned as to what the future may hold.

Thats the guys having daughters they can send to Pattaya and Pukhet to secure their life.

Now its narrowed in to about 35 million Asian males in the country, from about 15 British on that island at the time. The progress is impressive.

Just another time wasting exercise for the Thai courts to mull over , in any Democracy anyone can join in any protest , whether against the sitting Government or wage rises for surrogate mothers, better rights for Rice farmers etc, members of Parliament, Unions, workers , millionaires, anybody can stand and protest behind a flag or banner, that's what Democracy is all about , you are free to voice your opinions ,however, in a Democracy a fine line exists in meeting standards and some protests in Thailand stepped outside of those standards, this case is not one of them , when you are muzzled so that you cannot voice opposition to a government, that is dictatorship, very similar that exists in Thailand today, if anything need dissolving it should be the PTP, preferably, in a bowl of acid. When I see this kind of action I can only assume that Democracy is not a well known subject in Thailand , as I represent Democracy and all what it encompasses, I have now had my say.

I agree to much of your statement, but dissolving PTP is in the same non-democratic spirit as plague Thailand. I think its much better to require a democratic education before one can be elected, instead of the bullsh.. they require in Thailand. You need an university degree to be politician. You have to be a so-called intellectual to be a member of the parliament.

Why, you can breake the law if you are poor ??? I`m poor too, what about me ?

Suprise !!!!

Just bullshit. Why ????????????????????????????????????????????? I have better things to do.

Once again Thailand is in the news for all the wrong reasons , regardless who the new PM might be, Thailand lift your game , if you wish to compete on the world stage you must start showing some maturity, ethics and transparency , unfortunately one would seem to be banging one's head against a brick wall with anything regarding ethics in Thailand.

You has to understand that the Thai people are just about stepping out from their caves. They do not understand the civilised world yet. You can see it on how they sit on the walkways like monkeys.

Do not worry, you are more likely to killed falling from a high building!

Scary but true.

" what exactly caused the accident " The Thainess, to be number one is just a joke. Thais always does it as the last one. Engineering skills in Thailand are very much below international standards.

This accident is about an daily average bus accident in Thailand. We never hear anything about what happens of the families of the bus accidents ? Why ? Dying in an construction accident is more worth than a bus accident ?????

PTT have just brought in big time in OZ, they will soon find out the tax system is a bit different, in OZ ,the land of fee's , charges, fed taxation , state tax, local tax, rules and regs, licences, permits, more don'ts than do's , will sorely test their international knowledge.

What the <deleted>-k does OZ mean ?

"Police were told that 54-year-old Somsong Tirabatjek was overtaking a three wheeler on her motorbike on Yaowarat Rd when she was hit by the car, which was coming in the opposite direction." This means that 54-year-old Somsong Tirabatjek is responsible for this accident. She were overtaking when she had oncoming traffic. What is the problem? Thai traffic culture ?

"Police are revving up for another crackdown on illegal street racing after the problem was mentioned by the junta chief during his weekly "Returning Happiness" televised address to the nation." Why in the sake of the humans beeing will they make another crackdown ? Why not make this a normal job for the police ? In every siviliced country the police is watching and catching every day the year around. In thailand they just does crackdowns now and there ??? Whats the point ? Crackdowns in every aspects makes the crimes going on.

Slavery and child abuse/work is legal in Thailand. The companies just have to report it to the labour protection and welfare office. If that is done, no problem.

"The third charge related to the use of child labourers without notifying the Labour Protection and Welfare Department." This means that child labourers are allowed if its just notified to the Labour Protection and Welfare Department. Not surprising that the rest of the world are reacting against Thailand's slaveries. 

He is hounoring his uniform, the same uniform which will make Thailand a good country.

Police investigators so far have failed to explain the absence of scheduled Railway Police on the "rape-murder-train". It is now fair to say that this piece of investigation has been swept under the rug.

Now, as to Thai Police restoring confidence in anything...well, they can't. The Thai public knows very well what the Thai Police is all about and the Thai Police giving itself a mandate to restore confidence is absurd.

On a side note, I do like how in this article it only says "Thai Police" and not "Royal Thai Police".

Yes the Royal Thai Police did not explain it. But this happened in a time the RTP did not know where them self were. Before they were obligated to do some honest work for their salaries. The army had to come in and tell the rTP what to do. I have noticed that the police are not doing any speed-controls anymore. Probably because the ticket money has to go to the government, and if the brave police officers put the money in their pocket they are busted. Now I have installed a video camera in my car to record them.
