"Popular in Thailand where betting on the rockets is restricted to national holidays........."?

I'm sure that'll come as something of a surprise to many!

Smelly seafood?.................just apply freshness - that's the surest way to prevent it in the first place!

Hardly "news"...........the evidence that fish-scale parasites were linked to the high incidence of Isaan liver cancer was public knowledge five years or more ago!

I have been stopped on several occasions by persons purporting to be genuine police officers, however, they always give themselves away when they demand a payment without offering any form of receipt.....................

Ranked in order:

Vincent Price

Christopher Lee

Boris Karloff

Bela Lugosi

Peter Cushing

I always looked forward to seeing Hazel Court...................guaranteed to induce intense youthful lusting!

Just move the page administration to someone outside of Thailand, see them close it then...

they will just block facebook, like they did with that UK news website.

Now, if Facebook ever got blocked in Thailand, that WOULD cause a national uprising!

My first drape jacket, bitter at 9d/pint, Christopher Lee, Hammer Horror movies, groping Sunday afternoons in the East London "flea pits".......................enduring (Vincent) Price-less memories...........................................

Please..........enough of this B.S.

It's not possible to have "more" of anything when none exists in the first place - every Thai institution that has been created since the coup has been carefully stuffed with cronies and yes-men, any democratic element has been conspicuous by its absence............

The Thai govt. could always try manipulating the world rice market.................oh, hang on a minute..........

Returning happiness to the Thai bosses.....................

Whenever I read such sad stories like yours Connda, it reminds me just how fortunate I've been in meeting my wonderful Thai lady.

The only words of encouragement I can give you are that there are some real diamonds out there - don't despair, just cut your losses and move on.

Maybe he should consider distributing largesse from his aircon limo next time he feels so bad about it................I'm sure that will make him feel a lot better.

Does this app have a "PayPal" button to enable you to make an instant payment so they'll do their job?

The first of the King Size maggots is prised from the rotten tree...............

A cynic might say it was the thought of actually having to work that laid these poor Thai souls to rest..............

Well, that self-righteous B.S. really is rich coming, as it does, from those who seem to have facilitated this vile trade all along and without whose connivance it might never have occurred!

Well, Malaysia might have thought of it as a tourist attraction first, but TAT can always, rightly, claim that Thailand is the real HUB of this loathsome traffic.................

International eyes must remain focussed on this Thai version of "justice" despite the all the attempts that have been made to deflect their gaze..................

Sounds like "Coup d'Etat - part II" to me...................

How many of those foreigners who are complaining actually understand what is being said.It's Thailand not England, America ,Australia and so on.

I think, regardless of the language being used, everyone "understands" that they are being fed B.S. and I am personally allergic to that!

"...........he (Thaksin) dropped a bombshell..............."

Well, only if you are totally blind or completely stupid............

I have a feeling that the D.P.M. is hiding behind semantics here.

If memory serves me correctly, the Border Rangers are actually a branch of the R.T.P. but to all intents and purposes are controlled by the military - this may be a convenient get-out clause for them...........................

I am certainly no supporter of Thaksin or his ilk, but it seems to me that the substance of his remarks cannot be refuted.

There will be no real progress in Thailand until these archaic, oppressive and draconian laws are consigned to the dustbin of history.

By the friends you choose, you will be judged................

I wonder if he will look at the army, or will it just be a selective war on corruption.

Hmmm....................now that's a tricky one............
