jeez that's <deleted> expensive. I'll just bring my own stuff over.

any experience bringing over supplements in checked baggage?

ps. thanks for the link

Definately bring your own. I have brought with me several times. No problems. Cheers

Are all of you commenting completely clueless? You think any of your calls for "justice" etc are ever in a million years going to happen here? "Bring Thaksin to justice!" Man, you guys live in this country for years and yet know NOTHING!

Please enlighten us, oh wise one.

It's strange how the international media always seem to leave out the 'Thaksin link' when they report on this. It's such an important piece in the puzzle that to me it even feels suspicious that they don't mention this, almost like he's greased a few palms in the west (oh it does happen!). Instead they talk about the 'rural poor' versus the 'elite', and associate the word democracy with the very people who ruin the very idea by happily selling their vote fot the price of a couple of beers!

I think that the bbc/cnn and the rest of these 'non-biased' organisations should get to the real truth which is far more interesting than the story which they're currently reporting.

Why don't they ask the red shirts how much they're getting paid? Ask them why they think Thaksin is so great and what he could do for the country should he return. Ask them how they think that Thaksin, as a convicted criminal, could possibly plan to be taken seriously by the international community, should he manage to bully his way back into office.

Ask them why they are using women and children as a human shield.

Ask them why they risk their lives for a greedy evil billionaire?

Why can't the press get an interview with Thaksin? A few well placed questions will simply destroy him.

Why don't the international media do their job rather than appearing to be the heroes in the danger zone, reporting alongside the red-shirt 'freedom fighters'?

My point? It appears that Thaksin has more than just a few red-shirts in his back pocket!!!

The BBC is World renowned as being unbiased as they are not politically controlled and not owned by profit seeking investors, its where reporters can report without hindrance from upstairs, Does not make them right but makes them unbiased CNN probably the same, slightly different from THE NATION

Agreed and well stated

4 Teams left now. Should finish about 3-4 weeks. You can watch the games on True chanel 108. The live games are in the morning, but they are replayed throughout the day. You need Platinum package to get chanel 108.

Cheers

I had the same issue as Lady Heather. I wonder if their routers are up to scratch? Once replaced, major improvement.

Im using the lowest premier package. Quite happy with it.

Interesting comment about the router. I find the service sporadic. Sometimes good but big swings in speed. Customer service is horrible but that is a thailand issue and not company specific. Had no internet for 10 days in march and of course they say it is my fault. The problem is all the ISP are just as bad. All have the same issues.

9 years worth of US taxpayers money. Lawyers and food shelter etc. (estimate 100k/year. Close to a million$)

Something not right about that. And Im not even a US citizen

UDD chairman Veera has a cold

This is a leading story in the BP. How pathetic.

What's with the name dropping? "Shell Eastern Petrochemical Complex"

Weak journalism from a reporter who is unable to eliminate their snob values from their articles.

I agree. Terrible article. And clearly very little grasp of the english language.

Clearly this guy has mental problems. For his own protection he needs to be deported. Can you imagine him running into a few of the business owners who have had to shut down for a month? Yikes

"do they have a policy of refunding the difference like in the states" LOL... Now that is funny.

I wouldnt think there would be much difference as long as you are flexible as to what time of day you fly.

Good luck

An article like this in the west would lead to a pile of lawsuits. Apparently in thailand you can state "opinions" as facts. High school students could write better articles than this clown.

Well if the red shirts will accept a 90-day dissolution to end this chaos, then Abhisit should go for it.

Seems very reasonable

Agreed. Seems like a decent compromise

It's another snide piece and another nail in the coffin of journalism at Thailand's premier PAD mouthpiece. References to weight and appearance that would not be tolerated against other groups. Imagine a piece on Hilary Clinton referencing her body shape and appearance and ignoring all she said? Thats how low this pamphlet has sunk.

This was an assassination attempt. All the footage showed the room shot to bits.

They are now pinning their hopes on the Army. Are the Army going to run the country now if the Police can't?

Want to see serious loss of income, support and face for Thailand? Then let the Army go on a killing spree.

I think the smart move for the Reds is to negotiate with the Army. Then they all win, Army, Reds and business district. Leaves Mark and Thaugsabun out in the cold hoping that their 300,000 facebook supporters are enough to outvote 30 million red supporters!!

Mind you, stranger things have happened here.

where are the 30 million Red supporters.. 30,000 you mean... and for sure here the Army will go on a killing spree... give us some fun to watch on TV..

Lets hope you are caught in the crossfire.

the SC Park Hotel

http://www.scparkhotel.com/

this hotel is known to be owned by the fugitive Thaksin

it should be closed forthwith for harbouring wanted fugitives

if they refuse to close then cut the power, water supplies, revoke all the drink, dining and dancing licenses and arrest the management for aiding and abetting fugitives

send the staff home on full pay at the hotels expense

this is a message that should be relayed to all other hotels anywhere in the kingdom, that accept red shirts under arrest warrant as hotel guests

if the red leaders want to be at one with their red brethren then let them sleep on the floor in the street with them instead of bunking up in a 4* hotel

You do know what country your in , right?

Per bag for sure

Thanks everyone. Should be able to find one now.

Where can I buy a popcorn maker in chiang mai? I have checked the logical choices Robinsons, Big C, Carrefour and Makro. No luck. They sell popcorn kernels everywhere but nothing to make it with..lol Gettin tired of Nuked popcorn

It's about time! Totally justified for all the world to see.

A message to the good people of Thailand.

I can tell you with confidence the vast majority of foreigners support your honorable PM Abhisit in his valiant effort to fight anarchic red shirt's illegal attempt at revolution and the rule of a violent mob. Good luck to and best hopes for a PEACEFUL resolution.

<deleted>! who appointed you spokesman?

The yellows occupied giv offices for months with no comeback. The reds go in for 10 minutes and a state of emergency is declared.

This obvious inequality is precisely why they are demonstrating and this is one farang that understands.

Indeed Jing, I would prefer if you served only to speak for yourself.

Well when someone has 16000+ posts in 3+ years.....well you know

And how would you know"the vast majority" of foreigners support Abbisit? And with confidence? Have you personally polled all foreigners living in thailand? What a dumb post that is

And this takes a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Right back at you.

All these will impact everyone in the Red Shirt member in coming month. Nothing going to happen to the rich, as they maintain the power and keep their money

I disagree.

The Red Shirts have a lot less to lose than the wealthy from the south, and Bangkok (yellow shirts). Generally, most Red Shirts are from Issan, and live off the land (farmers). Basically, these people can live off a cup of boiled rice a day, and, with cash coming in from

Mr.T - they can stay in Bangkok, indefinately, or, rotate the protestors. Most have the son, father, nephew or uncle still running the farm back home in Issan, as the protest continues.

However, the wealthy from Bangkok, and further south, the Thai's that actually qualify for a credit card and/or business/home/condo/car loan, they are going to be hurting. No work, no income. No sales, no profits. No income and/or profit - no credit/loan repayments. That leads to loan defaults and then collections.

It's basically the HAVE's versus THE HAVE NOT's and the have not's, have a lot less to worry about, financially, during this prolonged protest, because they have very minimal financial committments. This is further enhanced with Mr.T chipping in baht for logistics for the protest.

This is not going to go away in a hurry. Thailand needs to deal with this issue now, or history will just repeat itself next election when Mr.T installs a puppet government, under his control, from abroad, when he throws money around for votes up north, AGAIN.

It's about time the wealthy, yellow shirt southerners, treat their less wealthy, red shirt northerners, as fellow Thai's and offer them the same opportunities for success in life as they enjoy in the south.

Spot on. Couldnt agree more. Give the poor a chance to become "middle class" and all of thailand benefits.

I would be interested. PM me if its a go

Great..thanks. Will check those

Hi All

Thinking of heading to Pamplona for the Running Of The Bulls. Just wondering if anyone knows who has cheap flights to Spain from BKK?

Thanks in advance

All about the same cost and all about the same mediocre reliability and speed

I have had bad experiences with all of them. Go with whoever has a promotion
