well , a Thai murderer got bail ....and they refuse to those farang ? strange ...... a murderer is a murderer regardless of his nationality.

They were farang not police! Why is it so hard to understand, all farang are guilty!

Over 60% of Thailand's GDP comes from exports. In comparison tourism covers about 6%..

The GDP from exports will decline, the largest export in the past was rice, now the price of rice is to expensive.

I agree, THAI does not have the money to take care of the employees, because all the politicians on the board of directors need more money to put into the special room at the house.

Last good CEO was Mr. Wanglee. 27 years ago. Than it was a good airline which took care of the passengers.

If a person is on any list and does want it to be a problem, they change their name.

It would be interesting to see the data on which area had the most ID cards lost and where the loss occurred. If the losses where of Issan girls in Pattaya or Phuket it might indicate a pattern of ID theft. If it was along the Cambodian, Laos, or Burmese border, than the cards could be going to unwanted immigrants. if it is along the border with Malaysia than the identities could be going to terrorist.

The government should track all the losses to see if there is a trend. Were all the loses reported to the police?

Yes it is OK. The place in Vietnam where it is brewed is the same area the Royal Thai Army Volunteer Division went Ben Cat, which is north west of Ho-Che Min. In the mid 60"s two two Thai Divisions went to Vietnam, The Black Panthers, and the Queens Cobras.

This is the sign, of a true Officer & a Gentleman. If there is a problem, accept it and resolve it. He is not like politicians than only want to blame someone else, and not take responsibility for anything. A good man. Thailand is what it today because of corrupt politicians, not because of the Military.

Good idea and hope it works.

February 1 is soon...

So is April 1.

Call me cynical, but nothing is going to change. Just more hot air posturing.

I came here in 1966, and the same thing has been said every year, but nothing has been done. To many people on the take. [sSDD] Same Sh-- Different Day.

"Education Minister Phongthep Thepkanjana promised yesterday that he would not let politics interfere with the improvement of education..."

It's amazing that in almost every country it is the politicians who promise that politics won't interfere with government programs. This is a universal joke

Where does the Education Minister Phongthep, buy what ever he smokes, or drinks?

Hard to have confidence in a country with regular Army coups, mafia police force, crooked politicians, invisible hand running things,, politicized courts, gunning down democratic protesters, storming airports and instigating a war with Cambodia.

Do not forget burning its capital , holding its capital hostage for months, pouring blood over the Parliament House and rebuilding Parliament House to bring good luck

Respecting election results would have avoided all that.

Elections are run by politicians, all elections can be bought. The purchase of elected office happens in every country, including the USA.

Fraternizing with the enemy over a glass or five of fine Australian Merlot.

I agree, but it was consumed on instruction of his doctor. This is to ensure he does not have a heart problem.

Depends who's version of history you are going to take, the Thai or Cambodian, because as a rule, neither really reflect the historical reality of the problems that have gone on.

So if you say, are they going to repeat the nationalistic lies of history, more than likely.

Until the French colonialist to South East Asia, what is not Cambodia was part of Siam and Cochin China. The colonial powers divided up SEA, India, Middle East, the Americas and Africa. The English were the biggest drug runners in history, they wanted Chinese Tea, and got the world addicted to opium.

Far too many clowns hiding behind uniforms....

The Army should not be involved, but it OK for the police.

He would have more credibility if he denied being sober.

Sounds like a Kennedy.

When will Thailand determine what happened to the Thai civil right lawyer? He is the one that was defending people from southern Thailand. It has been said that he was arrested and never seen again.

The figure of 74 million is understandable. If a plane with 100 passenger goes from DonMuang to Ching Mai, than that is 200 passengers. 100 for DonMuang and 100 for Ching Mai. If you had an international carrier land in Bangkok with 400 passengers, 100 got off and 100 joined the flight, you would have 900 passengers served. Creative accounting.

Sounding more like Iraq every day, This should be good for tourism. Go to Thailand ans shoot up the police station.

For whom the books tole. Creative accounting. Burmese, Cambodian and Lao workers are tourist also. Not counting the Malaysian freedom fighter assisting the south.

The TOT does not care, get over it. If you think the government gives a s--t about protecting the tourist, you are mistaken. This has meen going on for over 40 years. It only has gotten worse, and the only government that tries to do anything was under General Prem. You have many people in the present government thet are police, this includes Big Brother, no entertainmemt place, grocery store, shop can not oprtate without paying protection money. This is almot like Illinois, exceot in Illinois the government serves two terms, one term in office, one term in jail.

The police have not solved the two attempted assignation attempts by red shirts of Abhisit, or the assault on foreign diplomats in Pattaya, even though it was documented by the international press. We must understand they have more important work to do, and will not take action unless Big Brother tells them to do.

Creative accounting?

drugs kill everywhere, but many are unaware of the dangers

Where was there any mention of drugs? Or du you know something about the deaths?

Will the DSI investigate, the thousands of people that were killed, by police, during the Thaksin administration? How about the two attempted killings of PM Adhisit by Red Shirts, or the attach on foreign diplomats in Phatahya. Did PM Somchai order the killing of the Yellow shirt people, at parlement house and Don Muang?,
