LTGTR

Thailand version of express means the train makes only 50 stops enroute as opposed to over 100 for a local train.

They weren't "wounded",they were injured.I hope they all fully recover.

Gee,just like that clown in Libya.

Who cares?

This is TOO funny.Must be April Fools Day in July in Thailand.

I disagree.It was well written and well researched.I may not agree with his findings though but he does have a right to do so.

So all activists should be jailed?With that attitude you should be sharing a call and some fish head chowder also.

I was a worthy cause in his opinion.

So,now is the time for all Thailand lapdogs to raise their heads.............

I have no sympathy to be honest.

A lot of us know about the book that basically trashes the royal family here. It's not a particularly well written or well researched book.

This guy obviously sees himself as some sort of activist, why else would he be sitting up there in Isaan on using his blog to encourage people to rid this trash?

Now he's an activist, he can experience jail time like many other activists around the world.

Pity he didn't take up a worthy cause, isn't it?

They show a photo of a 737-LOL!

I have never seen a seat belt on a Thai bus yet.Nicer minivans yes.

I know he's a loon but really,this is over the top,"Just when my plane touches down at Suvarnabhumi Airport, drug traders will stop trading".That's his best line ever and he's had plenty.

Soak-Kran is the worst time to be in LOS.

Global cooling!

Yes,but Cambodia has 3G!

Surely the age barrier is a minority in human trafficking, not a majority percentage or is Cambodia in its usual witch hunting corruption, stating the majority of marriages over 50's is connected with human trafficking? What a croc and how absurd in a country still hiding in fear of reprisal from Khmer. Perhaps they need to establish an "Inquisition" and public floggings into anyone interested in marrying a Cambodian when over the age of 50. Cambodia is still in the Dark Ages.

You can't be happy all your life - you have to get married sooner or later! I waited until 53 and have a wonderful 33 year old Thai wife (at the time) and 2 great kids now. Maybe I'm not normal... it has been said! Thank God I didn't chose a Cambodian girl!

I doubt that would qualify because it said "overseas".

Holy crap...

Also to add, so what they are saying is that most men in Cambodia is not giving their wives a decent life, if their definition is set at $2,550/m (75k baht/m).

Just take them across boarder to Merma or Thailand and marry and go back

I'll be 60 soon so now problem anyway.I think they should pass an "over 60" law to encourage us old farts to marry and support Cambodian women.

Why not just make it 90 or 180 days on arrival for those who are currently granted 30.

Costco is far more well organized and their toilets are always immaculate!

Good brief synopsis of the myriad of problems besetting the "Showcase of Asia" or whatever other BS titles it's been bestowed to this airport resembling a giant Costco store.

Would personally add that is often uncomfortably warm, particularly on the upper floors, to the list.

Too much rice in their diet!

More innocent victims.That's 2 accidents in as many days.May they rest in peace.

Doesn't the bible say an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?So,by my reckoning,he owes............

"Mr Uthen expressed regret over the accident".Gee,I guess so,as he hopes to reduce his already lenient sentence from Thai (joke) judiaciary.Is this negligent homicide x5?He won't see 10 years in prison for murdering 5 innocent folks.May they all rest in peace.

Even funnier,48 years old and has a 2 y.o.-so you know their mind isn't right!

Odd viewpoint? {I would say that being sound of mind and body, 59 with a one year old}.

Way off topic I know but get real! So when your child reaches 10,you'll be grandparent age.Wonderful.If you're here at 69 that is.Growing up would be difficult with 1 parent I suppose.Not an odd viewpoint at all,just responsible.So your child will have a parent and grandparent to raise him/her-wonderful.

Even funnier,48 years old and has a 2 y.o.-so you know their mind isn't right!

" prompting the pilot to dive 8,000 metres (26,000 feet)".

I seriously doubt they dived 8k meters.Probably descended IMO.

Of the 425 that were "wounded",were they in a battle with another country or fighting an inserruction in-country.what should ahve beeb used was "imjured" in traffic accidents.

And no,it's not semantics.

My condolences to the injured and killed.

And to the author of the article.

Once again,you are "wounded" in battle and "injured" in an accident.Try getting it straight starting on 1-1-11!

What is it with Thai newspapers?They were not "wounded",they were "injured".You are wounded in battle,and you are injured in an accident.Learn the difference.

My condolences to all those involved.

How sad.I know exactly where that location is.
