It's sad that Mighty Thailand still doesn't have 4G, when Little Lowly Lao has already had it for a couple of years now.

Why not use the money,instead of Subs they really dont need, and create National Service for all Thais when they reach 18yrs old ?(men)

After boot Camp Train them in different fields, that are of use to them when they complete the 2 yrs....

It would firstly get them off their bums and off the streets, and work daily....and second it would stamp out any corruption if it was in the Army (i.e.having to pay someone to get in). In 2yrs you have the start of a real workforce that has been taught the fundamentals of discipline..They would also be the first pick for the Police force after 2yrs

Watch Thailand go ahead then.....Singapore did.

just my thoughts.

Crazy.. I would oppose this with all my life. Never went to the army myself as when you study in my country your exempt. You don't learn anything there and its a complete waste of time. (had friends who were forced to go there.. what do you think happened.. drinking drinking drinking)

Old people just think its good and think you learn something. Learning you do at school and when your working. Not wasting time in green.

The army is an option for dumb people.

Just use the money to overhaul the school system and provide some real education.

The army is an option for dumb people. - Is that a fact? Let's see, I turned down the opportunity to join Mensa when I was 17. I turned down 11 full scholarships. What did I do? Well, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and stayed for 20 years. During that time I acquired 2 Bachelor's and one Master's Degree. Nor was I the only one who did things of a similar nature.

I find your statement both ignorant and without any basis of knowledge.

Well, crap! Now their neighbors won't "stand in awe", and all those orders for new Benz will have to be cancelled.

Hell, I know one knock out female doctor, and 2 equally gorgeous nurses, all at the same hospital in Chiang Mai, and all 3 work as bar girls on the w/e to "supplement" their income. So what's the big deal?

Sheeesh!

I wonder if any of the suspects (and not just the 2B) are left-handed? Looking at the major wound and the rocks around the body, the perpetrator probably was standing to the left side when the skull was fractured. The wide wound is consistent with the wide blade of a hoe- it could certainly be compared to see if it matched.. The angled break in the skull would seem to indicate that the blow was struck at a downward angle from the left. It would be difficult for a RH person to strike that blow (try it). The angle of the fracture and the rocks above her body indicate that the blow was not struck from a person standing above her head. The blood spatter on the rock to her right would seem to indicate the the blow was struck at that location, not that the body was moved from another location. Detailed CS pics would make these determinations easier, but they appear to have been lost, due to "...lack of money...".

Was there ever a re-enactment of the crime? Would be interesting to see how the re-enactor handled the hoe

Actually, there was an re-enactment of the crime, and photos clearly showed the police directing the totally clueless boys as to what to do. And they used a metal dustpan for the hoe. The whole thing was a completely staged set up by the BIB.

I did mine in Chiang Mai today. Got there at 11:55, walked out about 8 minutes later.

The left and the right are running scared of Trump.

He's the only politician speaking any sense right now.

Look at the first reply in this thread - making accusations of racism - the first line of attack from the left.

Only 30% of the electorate is republican. Only 12% of that 30% electorate is supporting Trump's statements.

Do you know what 12% of 30% is? 3.5%

Only 3.5% of Americans agree with Trump. Are you saying 96.5% scared by 3.5%? Surely you jest!

And he is racist.. if he wasn't, he wouldn't be losing sponsors. Why would companies withdraw their support for it otherwise? If he's making sense, why aren't they all over it?

His sponsors are abandoning him because it's the Politically Correct thing to do, Plain and simple. Do I think Trump has a shot at the White House? Not really. But it is actually somewhat refreshing to have a potential political candidate who says what he thinks, instead of kissing ass and saying what he/she thinks people want to hear.

I never really cared for Letterman to start with and, to me at least, this is a really pathetic attempt at humor. I couldn't even crack a smile at this ignorant attempt of humor, let alone laugh at any of it.

D.L, your "use by" date has expired, and you were never that good of a comedian to start with.

Put up a couple of million baht reward for information, combined with protection, anonymity, and a free ticket back to Myanmar, and then see who comes forward.

Sadly disappointed in Japan on this one.

Won't miss them

So, I guess you don't believe in freedom of the press, and think it's okay for the military to bring a bullshite lawsuit against two people who did nothing more than "copy & paste" a quote from a world respected news agency, that actually won a Pulitzer Prize?

Gee, I'd hate to live in your miserable, depressing world.

And, of course, until neighbors actually raised a commotion about this, the police had absolutely no idea this was going on. Yeah, right!

A monk in the illegal money lending racket? I am soooo shocked!

(Satire for those of you not recognizing it)

Which is more important? The law, or profits?

Hummmm, that's a tough one, but I think profits wins that one.

Does anyone with any real sense actually give a damn?

There are so many times I wish I had a car or bike that was actually a "Transformer". Then, when the idiots pull out and try to pass 3-4-5-6 cars/trucks at a time, and blink their lights at me coming towards them, I could press a button and mutter: "Blink at this, you dumb Mother Flocker!"

I had a question about the forensics, but what the hell, it would be a waste of time on here.

Trump will hopefully drop out of the race before he does too much damage to his political party. He is a businessman and he is fairly hot tempered. He can't just fire congress. Businessmen do a good job with businesses, but politics is a different animal.

he's not even a good businessman, bankrupt 5 times

And he's STILL a billionaire! Sounds like a pretty good businessman to me.

Maybe it's time we had a "business man" running the country. The politicians have done one hell of a job in screwing it up every way possible.

Whether you like him or not, the man is blunt, and to the point on his beliefs, and doesn't hide behind "political correctness", which is more than you can say about 99.9% of ALL politicians.

and he'll never BE a politician

If by "politician", you mean someone who will say what they think people want to hear, whether they actually believe in it or not, or someone who will flat out lie to voters about things, or someone who looks to see "what's in it for me" at every opportunity, then I have to agree with you.

This clown makes Larry, Curly and Mo seem like Nobel winning rocket scientists.

Been here in Chiang Mai for 7 years now. About 5-6 month ago my wife asked if I would like to go back and visit. I had to think about it for a minute, then asked her "visit what"? I was always the "black sheep" of the family, so I have no close family ties. Haven't spoken to my parents in over 15 years, and of the 2 brothers I have left, I was only so-so close with one. Same deal, about 15 years now. The friends I had are all now married with families and lives of their own. I'm an American. I'm proud to be an American, but it's not my home any more. The only reason I would go back now is to take my wife and son there to give them a month long tour of the country. That's about the only reason I can think of for returning.

They widened 1314 coming out of Chiang Mai, where it eventually turns into 1317. Made it 4 lane, looked great. Within 4 months the repair trucks were out filling in the holes.
