    In the civilized world all pedophiles are registered and monitored by the police, but not here in Thailand. Good to know his address so people in the neighborhood can keep their children safe and keep him away from schools and playgrounds.

    The point is, he hasn’t been convicted of any of these charges, yet.  I’m not sure how having his address published will keep him away from a playground.  If anything, it’ll force him to move someplace where the neighbors don’t know of the accusations. 

     

    Worse case scenario, he is murdered by a vigilante and later proven innocent.  Just wait for the trial.

    So many governments apparently getting it so wrong for so long.

     

    Too late for me. With high blood pressure to deal with won't be smoking anything at all ever again.

    Here in California, the shops sell edibles, ie gummy worms, hard candy or chocolates. I haven’t tried any as my employer likes to look at my urine.

    Carrying a weapon, purely for ones own defence, mainly an American habit of course, may be excused, although, I as a Brit, wholly disapprove.

     

    But this is clearly not the case here. To pull out a weapon in a public place and make threatening gestures indicate intent. And that would not happen if he did not have in his possession.

     

    What other reason could be for his actions?

    First you say that carrying a weapon indicates intent, then you say making threatening gestures indicates indent.  So, is that two counts of intent or one count of possession of the knife and one count of threatening with the knife, like how he really was charged.

    Be very careful buying a Kindle, I bought a Paperwhite about 3 years ago and now cannot use it, Amazon stopped me buying anymore ebooks, the first time it was password problems, now it's payment problems.

     

    I am left with a Kindle which is now no use to me once I have read all the books I have left. Shower of incompetent swine.

    It sounds like your Kindle is fine; but your Amazon account is the problem. I've had Kindles for a long time and never buy from Amazon. There are free ebook sites where you can legally download books that are either out of copyright or offered for free. Also, there are sites where books can be downloaded not so legally. You should get the app called Calibre to organize your ebook collection and it also converts .pdf files and Nook books into something that can be used on your Kindle.

  6. This is the first time I've heard of this person, so curiosity got hold of me and did a Google search under images for

    Rojjana (Yui) Phetkanha.

    For some reason, I got this pic.

    I guess too much partying and drugs will do this to you:

    There is funny, then not so funny. I wish you would remove that photo. To rise then fall is not really something we should find humour in. (Especially depicting her as a monkey) Could happen to anyone of us at any time, and I am sure we would be hoping for a bit of compassion as well. (And I am never this serious)

    I am sorry, but I must decline your wish, unless otherwise instructed by the Admin of this site.

    Nowhere did I say it was her and you can assume all you want to what you may think I implied.

    Too much partying and drugs can make a monkey of oneself.

    If, perchance, you take this just as personally as you do seriously, then that makes it your personal problem, not mine.

    Non the less, do not mistake my expression as a lack of compassion for that I do possess.

    I do not wish to belittle her downfall, but a bit of humor is needed at times like these, as long as I am not directing it towards her, as you falsely imply.

    Good day to you.

    Ah, a third.

    One day you may fall to the disease of alcoholism/addiction or mental illness. Would like us all to laugh at you?

    Have some compassion, ANYONE can suffer like Yui.

    You'll have to forgive these guys. They have problems of their own.
