The Thai government do not think in the same way as the most governments in the western world. They do not have any clue about led contamination, and if none of their relatives are struck of led contamination they do not care. It' s about the knowlegde and the human care of the government. The present government lack both.

Name and shame please, the public has the right to know....

If they want to avoid the trash-tourists they have to name them. 10 pound/ 500 baht / 100 nok / 15 USD will not stop any overstayer.

The Buddhist state of Thailand forget their Buddhism when needed. I hope the ghosts of Buddha himself will punish them one day. I'm sure that day will come.

No foreign leader will support the Thai governmets plans of borrowing 2 trillion bhat. They know all about the corruption.

The Japanese are not stupid, nor the Chnese.

Did the driver have any driving license ? If he had, how did he get it ? The Thai way probably. The Thai government don* t give a shit. I think the only one can do anything about road safety in Thailand is the King himself, because his servants do not do anything. They do not care at all.

Mr Thaksin, if you really want the good for Thailand you should get back and serve your time in jail. It' s just 2 years, In your ruling time you took away the opportunity of serving just 2 years from many people. You just killed them. Is it so that you are the biggest coward in the world ? I think you are.

Do you mean they can tell the wind to slow down ? Or not make so much rain ?

Here is some novel thinking. Why don't they activate this 'WFMC' to prevent the level reaching catorgary 4, instead of wiating until it is too late?

his agency was now closely monitoring the upcoming Nari storm to see if it would have an impact on the East of Thailand. It may not affect the region if it weakens after arriving in Vietnam.

The Typhoon Nari was two years ago.

Information about these models can be found at the National Hurricane Center.

Is there really any doubt this storm will have an effect.

I think this will be a good choce, but what happes if he is against censoring ? The present governmet has the censorship as one of their means and goals.

They are warning about wrong parking before 15 - 20 of october, but after this dates the momkey yard is free again. They are running a campaign :-) Why do they not run this campaign 24/7 365 days a year ? Lousy police, they call themselves Royal Police, it' s a disgrace of the royal family.

“There was just one case in Phuket this year when this happened. It was a charter flight that could not land on schedule because of a storm.

“The aircraft had to stop at Haad Yai Airport, Krabi Airport and Don Muang Airport before the weather conditions improved so that it could land in Phuket.” Why in gods and buddhas name did this plane go first to Had Yai, than so to Krabi, ond so further to Don Muang ? If it could not land in Phuket it should land on some near airport. It sounds like the plane landed several places before it landed in Phuket. I do not understand why they are doing this. If they could land in Had Yai, why not stop there, becauce of safety reasons ? Probabably a Thai airliner.

The gulf of Thailand is as polluted as the rest of Thailand.

" It has also banned the 2 employees from working aboard the company’s buses and will relay the records of the 2 employees to the Department of Land Transport to be stored in its data files." Yest this will really stop them doing things like this. Beeing stored in the departments data files is very scaring. Why do they want to store this in the departments data files ? It it for any use ? Or just another flow of unuseful words ?

I do not belive there is any flooding in this country this year, as I belive there is no more drugs left in this country, because that's what the government told us last year, and also earlier this year. The just needed three monts to get rid of the drugs, and the flooding was an issue they did have the full control on.

It*s already there !!! Even the legal system.

I'd like to know what the German Embassy think about this situation.

I also wonder if making the derisory offer for the computer could be construed as an offence which warranted a retaliation in kind.

Offering 6000 for something listed at 8000 is hardly derisory or insulting.

If it was the whole bargaining culture in Thailand would collapse into anarchy.

The guy is dodgy. He is not broke.

Maybe I should sue you for this ??? Maybe I can get 100,- baht

Whats wrong with this German ?

I'm guessing he didn't like the idea of lightly licking the Canadians ring piece and eating his <deleted>.

Whats wrong with this German ?

Where is the expat areas ?`I'm living in the north-east and we are about twenty foreigers in this area, 50 km around. Is this an expat area ?

I hope this man gets help soon. I don't care whose "fault" it was.

One wider "lesson" for people reading this. The insult the Canadian used is MASSIVELY more serious an insult in Thailand than it is in the U.S. or Canada. You can get killed for that here if done in person.

I don't know about how that insult is viewed in Germany though. Perhaps some expats have internalized Thai values about such insults.

BTW, does someone know WHERE in Thailand this Canadian lives?

If he is an expat area, surely there are people who would be happy to directly provide at the very least some foodstuffs.

This is called discrimination in other parts of the world.

This will make the tourists confident about law and order :-) Crack downs will never. Only continous good police work will. That will never happen in Thailand.

What ? It's ONLY going to take a weekend ' blitz ' to sort out all crime in Phuket......don't make me laugh

As I remeber they promised no floodings this year.

What ? It's ONLY going to take a weekend ' blitz ' to sort out all crime in Phuket......don't make me laugh

What do you mean with an over-sized trucks ? Is it bigger than allowed ? Thailand do not have any regulations regarding noise, pollution from trucks, noise pollution in general, and no thai do care about his next. If they have regulations they do not enforce them as most of the other regulations and laws. Thailand is a 3rd world country and will be forever, as I can imagine. Maybe 4th world country.

You all have to understand "Thailand’s Foreign Ministry has confirmed that no Thai officials were involved in the disappearance of 300 visa labels from the Thai embassy in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.". That means it has to be some Malay working for the office. But what did the Thais responsible do when it happened ???????????????????????? I think some Thai officials have been involved, despite the Foreign Ministrys knowlegde in this case before it is investigated.

I think the top figures in the foreign ministry should go home to their rice fields instead of encroaching on the Thai people.
