How am I going to drive my big diesel without cheap palm oil to make biodeisel and everyone else can subsidize my fuel costs or just starve to death?

My new Credit Card from Kasikorn has no magnetic strip... Use only the Chip. So i guess this is saver than the old credit cards with magnetic strips.

And sometimes i also become a message from the bank, when an amount is booked from the credit card. But not always... Till now it seems, that i become messages from smaller shops.. but when pay at restaurants, then not become any message... So this feature with the message i still not understand complete.

Sorry but that's only what the credit card companies thought. If you get close enough with these new skimmers you can get information off the chip. I think this is why police thought acting strangely like standing too close to people at the ATM. Then they get all information. Name pin expire date.

Micro-loans can be a great thing, but this seems like one part help, two parts pandering. I like the quote that says "...so farmers don't lose to corruption....", which is just another form of the institutionalization of corruption, and the only mention of farmers in the article. Logic would tell me that to make people less susceptible to corruption, we need to get rid of corruption, not loan money to those susceptible to it, so they can pay for the corruption with an interest rate up to 20%.

The fallacies in the logic are so apparent and bold, that it should be considered embarrassing, not praised. But hey, what would a farang know. I'm still waiting for laws that make people accountable for their actions, corruption and plainly dishonest actions in the business world.

Agree.

Didn't I just read about taking condom machines out of schools? Now they say that STD's are on the rise because of people not using condoms. What's going on?

BANGKOK, 6 February 2011 (NNT) - According to ABAC Poll, Thai society can accept government corruption if they can also make the country prosperous, people live happily and also receive some benefits.

Corruption 'IS' the reason why there are so many poor and unhappy people here not receiving any help.

Corrupt officials having their cake and eating it.

Agree. Corruption is the reason for peoples suffering. Look at what's happening with all the corrupt governments in the Middle East.

Banana republic.

Anyone know where to get a printer repaired in Khon Kaen. It's a Cannon Pixma. Thanks

Yes with global food prices on the rise, it is a brilliant idea to put more farmland into production making am inefficient fuel. Who can it hurt, only the poor will starve.

Agree. We will all be paying higher prices for our food so some fat ass in his big SUV can ride around on cheap fuel. You think there's a sugar shortage now.

I have been on the road for 23 years and I know a lot about traffic - and still don't know sh_t about driving.

Well. I got it all wrong from the headlines. I was thinking finally an airlines that got it right something to do on a long flight.

That's quite an overstay. It took the family 14 years to notice he was missing?

Let me get this straight. Broke immigration laws and because they say that they are photojournalists that it's o.k. I must take my camera next time I go out of country.

a propery forensic doctor would be able to tell by his body mass and the ration he fell if in fact he did fall on the whiskey bottle....

i think in any other country this would be a murder scene stright away.......

I agree. Any other country would deem it a murder scene until the proportion of evidence would prove otherwise. They would not just makeup a story of what they think happened.

they were real policemen, one in uniform, with badges and guns.

why they didn't stop at the journalist's house to check his passport (foreigners are obliged to carry their pass at all time - or at least a cophy of it) is a little strange, probably they decided, that wallets/ring/mobiles would be an easier prise, than entering the house and leaving empty handed.

I don't think you are required to carry ID in Thailand. You just must produce it in a timely manner if asked for it by the police.

Ya Ya Ya

There are actually people that have drivers licenses.

I should have bought more yeast.

What price are we willing to pay without added security?

The only way to get some of these Jellyfish off and some relief with vinegar. The resorts I used to stay at when you asked for vinegar they didn't know what it was when you spoke English but in Thai they knew. Just would like to say there should be a little safety training when people pay some big bucks sometimes to go on a holiday.

94 minutes a day reading?

I agree with that. It takes them that long to read the screen at the F'ing ATM machine!

Baby steps.

Gun residue was also found on her blanket. It wouldn't be there because somebody wiped the gun off and then put her prints on it, would it?

I see. Medical hub with doctors who do not want to take responsibility for their actions. I think I would go to a country where you can sue your doctor for malpractice.

Do I smell money?

Or am I not allowed to ask that?

Why always so much attention when there is a possibility for farang bashing?

I just wonder if there would be so much attention if the alleged perpetrator was Thai?

Or am I now a racist?

concur.

Me thinks big tea money passed through hands.
