French Graphic Designer Reports Theft of Expensive Camera in Pattaya
It was his place of work. In my home (office) I have 3 computers, printers, antique figures, paintings etc etc. One lap top alone cost more than 60,000 THB I do not hide them away every time that I go out to check in guests. Window cleaners, a/c guys, maintenance people etc all go in and out - even if I am not there. Less of the victim blaming - the problem is the thief, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer by the sound of it.

dry cough
Sometimes, it depends on where you live. Lots of pollution coming with the north winds. I live on the coast and I get a dry cough when there is high humidity. 98% in the bedroom a few days ago and the dry cough is back.

Tour Bus Crashes into Lorry: 17 Injured as Driver Admits to Picking Up Mobile Phone
A lot of comments about the driver's age. I drove from Bangkok to Suratthani when I was that young. I had no accidents and didn't nod off. I never look at my phone when driving either. This driver crashed because he took his eyes off the road.

Most folk use Google maps on their phone. Quite often unreliable off the main routes.

Police Arrest Drug-Crazed Man Threatening Parents with Knife
I agree. A 9 mm bullet may be a more permanent solution.

Tourist boat capsizes off Koh Phangan, Korean national missing
Not sure about the 'tourists follow him like lemmings' bit. Many bays on KPN do not have road access and travelling by boat is more of a taxi service and the main means of transport. I have done it a number of times. However, the 'captain' was well out of order.

Where is the next generation of night life girls?
No they are not. As long as they do not drink alcohol.

First Day of Thailand’s “10 Dangerous Days” Sees 52 Deaths and 318 Injuries
Presumably, the method for the 'count' of fatalities is still the same as previous years. ie only those dead at the roadside. Deaths in the ambulance or at the hospital afterwards are not included. They are counted as accident injuries. Sadly, the number of people who die in road accidents is higher than the published figures.

Where is the next generation of night life girls?
I understand that girls under 20 can legally work in bars, but they cannot drink alcohol. I am not sure if the legal age for working is 16 or 18.

Police Pickup Truck Crashes into Lamp Post, Injuring Two
That may take some explaining to his superiors. I see that there is no mention of alcohol/drug testing.

Suvarnabhumi Tourist Police Catch In-Flight Theft Suspect
I am surprised that folk put any amount of money, in a bag, in a locker that is often some way away from their seat. My money, wallet and passport are always with me when I fly. (I wear comfortable clothes with lots of pockets.)

Wild Elephant Herd Threatens Crops in Nakhon Ratchasima
I think that it is very thoughtful of the farmers to grow food for the wild elephants.

Two Thai Women and a Foreigner Injured in Motorcycle Collision in Pattaya
I am afraid that some accounts told by Thai 'eyewitnesses' are not accurate. I have experience of a few times when 'eyewitnesses' have said that I caused an accident when I had only stopped to help. One even called the police. In that particular case, I had arrived after the accident - found the guy lying in the middle of the road. The 'eyewitness' arrived after me and told the police that he had seen my car knock the guy off the bike. When the injured guy came round at the hospital, he admitted to police that no one else was involved. His bike hit a pot hole and he lost control.

Deterioration of Dining Quality and Experience
- Israeli military loosened rules of engagement at start of Gaza war
Come on Israel, stop pussyfooting around. Do WHATEVER it takes. Remember - Hamas (Palestinians the last time that I looked) are fighting in order to destroy Israel. Israel are fighting to recover hostages and avoid destruction. There is only one 'baddie' in this conflict and it is not Israel. Israel did not put supposedly 'innocent' people on top of, or in front of the terrorists. These innocent people are the ones who put Hamas in power.
