Don't mention it! Oh, you didn't.....

Thank you for the recommendation and sorry I didn't reply the second you pressed the Submit Reply button I will be much quicker next time.

Flying from Bangkok into Krabi then need taxi to hotel near Klong Muang Beach.

Can anyone recommend a taxi service from the airport or is it best to just use local one on site at the airport.

What sort of cost should it be

Best thing I heard was "you will never out train a bad diet"

I hear a lot of people in the gym saying they are training so that they can down their 3-4 pints of beer after the gym with their friends. None of them are getting slimmer

I wonder if any of these business would take part in a TV series of Undercover Boss Thailand. Bet it would make great viewing.

Perhaps this bus lady could be the first.

Facebook group against Thai superstition stirs debate

Does anyone have a link to this group ?????

Its in the OP but you can't see it.

sadly it's not only (as if it ever was) Thailand. Just saw this:

As disgusting as that is at least justice was served.

KOH TAO: -- A member of the National Human Rights Commission warned today that he would propose the commission to take legal action against police officers responsible for the interrogation of the two suspects in Koh Tao murder case if they do not cooperate with the pane.

I bet the RTP are seeing NHRC as a right Pane in the arse, I hope they keep being a pain.

I wonder if he made that boooyng noise and bird whistle noise like they do in Thai programmes when he hit him

If there are people posting on here to try and cover up for certain people of influence then I hope they get in life what they deserve and their consciense destroys them.

some heavy accusations being made elsewhere

Where? Give us a clue?

Have a look at Andy Hall on twitter

Some heavy accusations indeed. Being threatened with being burned alive would make me admit that my real name is Donald Duck and that I live on Saturn with my pet Ewok, Ronald.

Still, they are only accusations. I personally think the two lads are innocent (probably anyway), but I'm reserving judgement until we hear what Scotland Yard has to say (no i don't fully trust the RTP, sorry).

Some naughty stuff gone on if true

got to admit that we seem to be falling back into the old thai govt habits, were right, everyone else is wrong. This is what happens when thainess does not allow them to admit "oops we <DELETED!> up and we made a mistake" or the fact that certain people are being paid to look the other way. Worst of all all the separate thai govt agencies refuse to do the right thing, face is more important than the truth, now we see the general starting down the road to nowhere after such a great start, bugger.

Could it be when the going gets tough revert to type

" All four wheels from a brand new Honda Accord were stolen yesterday from the parking lot of Don Mueang Airport, while the owner is presumed to be traveling and unaware of his/her fortune."

Back in the Bronx this is what kindergarten kids did as a training exercise.

These guys must have been rank amateurs. Hell, they didn't even pull the engine or drop the tranny. I suppose it's difficult to do a professional job when your tool kit consists of only an adjustable wrench and a five baht coin.

One more example of trying and totally failing to imitate western culture.

"So far there are no comments from the airport about a possible theft ring, who will continue to collect THB250 daily parking fee for its exemplary security."

I'm sure they will give the standard statement: "If you didn't want your car stripped, then you shouldn't have parked it in the airport parking lot"

PM will comment soon "It is your own fault for buying and expensive car. If it was a wreck nobody would have touched it"

The one positive thing is TAT has been muzzled, it appears. Perhaps someone with integrity was asked to provide accurate information, for a change.

Great care was taken not to mention the islands, but again this was an opportunity missed, they could express condolences and support for (real) justice to be served.

Besides, KT is not symbolic of all the islands - far from it I would hope.

yeah, there must be at least 1 island where the locals arnt afraid to kill you because theyre untouchable..............anyone know that island????

Yes Fantasy Island

Court refuses time for defence to prepare case.

PM denies UKFO summons and says diplomat went to explain voluntarily.

However you cut the cake, guilty or not, this trial is already done.

That's funny, I thought it had just started - what was the outcome then?

From what you have been writing the past few weeks I thought you had a crystal ball so why ask?

mistake

Could the DNA now being touted as unusable, badly handled a ploy so as to take the pressure off Mon because if the DNA is so bad and handled so badly whats the point in taking anymore.

Just get witnesses to fit up the two guys already in prison case closed or they get released and BIB say we just don't know who did it.

I hope the media etc. don't let this just go away

So this is a win win situation for the BIB, extra money if they take a bribe and extra money if they don't as they report the person.

Do you think he's putting himself out there to be asked onto a cookery programme on tv

100 PM menus

With some notable exceptions, Thai police are generally poorly educated and not very bright but their careers start with paying bribes to pass the police entrance exams.

Youve got to have a degree to get into the police i am led to believe so they are educated to some degree.

As someone who left school at 15 i find your comment about education patronising as if plagiarising Karl Marx from some degree mill somehow makes one intelligent and decent.

Your naivety is quite astounding. To join the RTP a degree is needed, but the only recruits who are employed are those who show real initiative by producing a 'fake' degree bought in Bangkok on that well known Soi!

Yes i suppose most of the recruits have nipped down to KSR and have obtained a fake degree.

Despite the fact Thailand has a large proportion of young people in higher education the majority will obviously be using fake degrees, yes you are correct my naivety is astounding.

You know absolutely nothing about the recruitment process or what goes on to get these jobs in the police so shut your mouth and stop trying to be the Thai expert that you claim to be.

The job buying happens in all sorts of walks of life in Thailand.

My brother in law is going for a job in a factory up North Thailand and guess what, its going to cost him to get the job.

I know in the UK that sometimes you may get a job because of who you know working there etc but this paying to get a job is totally alien to me.

"He said they told him they had not used condoms while sexually violating the female victim, contrary to earlier police statements that sperm carrying their DNA was found on the outside of condoms."

Have you heard of any rapist using condoms?

How can a condom have DNA outside but inside, only if it was never worn.

If it was delibeartley rubbed inside by hand to pick up DNA then someone touched it so something from them would be on the outside of the condom also or they used gloves or something to cover their hands.

The condom story is so strange.

What I don't understand is the big deal being made of there being blond hair on Hannahs phone when she had blond hair and it was long.

Have they started selling copy wheel clamps yet. Could buy your own fit it and park where you like.

I believe they are looking at designer wheel clamps for the hiso
