I live in AO Nang for 5 years and obviously I was in Ao nang when this happened. I like to believe that I am pretty well informed what is going on in Ao Nang, but this is the first time I hear of this.... Of course, everything NOT good for Ao Nang (Thailand), is pretty much not talked about...

To be very clear, I support the farther 100% (I am Dutch as well!) and I hope they play this VDO before and after the Thai Hymn (everyday!) for an extended period... However, I lived in Thailand a long time and I would be very very surprised if anything would happen at all...

Money talks, and here it has always the last word!!!

Good Luck! I hope Justice will be done (but doubt it very much!)

Best Solution:

- 1 queue dedicated to TV members and their families (stops the endless complaining in the forum)

Wouldn't that be the Thailand Elite queue already?

I wish.... that would mean I am Thailand Elite . Quite a promotion!

And I think (hope for sure!) that most TV members have not fallen for that trick

Can we not just stop talking/writing about this guy?!?

He has not been in Thailand for 6 years, he is a convicted refugee, and only makes problems!

Let's just ignore him COMPLETELY!!! No more free publicity (good/bad). No more mentioning him in TV...

<p>I have a Thai company (old style) and I am the only who is allowed to sign

Just do like Krabi - ban jet-skis - period

I didn't know that about Krabi. It's funny, I was down there vacationing, about 3 months ago, and now that you mention it, there weren't annoying loud and smoke-belching machines around on the waves, and there weren't daily extortions and ruined vacations there. Of course, the most reasonable policy for Pattaya and Phuket would be to ban all jetskis, 100%. They should have busted the extortionists, but that's beyond the authority's abilities.

Shame on Pattaya officials for waiting years to pretend to do the right thing. In the meantime, hundreds of tourists have had their vacations ruined. If you want something done as slow as humanly possible, get Thai bureaucracy involved.

Ao Nang, Krabi (Phi Phi as well) are part of the Phi Phi Marine National Park, and therefore jet-ski's are not allowed. Still we have other (Thai) problems, as anywhere else

Surely he meant get caught taking fake goods out why the hell would anyone want to bring fake goods in ? only in Thailand

I live in Thailand and I have only fake goods, so when I go out and come back in, it will be the same fake goods.

What if you bought these goods in Thailand (pretty good chance!), fly to Farang-land, and return in the same (washed!) clothes and with the same belongings (PC, phone and what not). I guess you will have to keep receipts for everything

Impossible to verify and enforce! It will never work, as nobody will pass Customs anymore

Rest in Peace, brother!

Without more information, this can be anything : from "mistaken identity" to plain murder for whatever reason... Unfortunately it points to murder. Any explanation is just speculation!

MP urges Thai women: Marry a farang for an easier life

Marry? Why? What's wrong with the current sick buffalo savings plan?

Think long term, the buffalo can't be sick forever.

Get more buffalo's...

Thai Reason:"Teerak Kwaai, I need more buffalo. My buffalo sick because he stay alone; need kwaai gf, and make little buffalo, same like you"

so is this a fake story or is it real??

Well actually it is satire. The first word on the page.

What is interesting is the way George's mind works. Now this is the kind of article he would normally post on April 1.

I am already looking forward to April, George! I am sure you have something very good in store

To answer the first question: of course this is real! Ever seen TV reporting on something that is NOT real or true?!?

Tourists (especially in Phuket) are NOT smart

women who deliberately go to a country where prostitution is known to be illegal

As in Thailand?

Absolutely Right!!! By law there are NO prostitutes in Thailand, only many friendly women...

Money Back?!? Good idea....

Money back in Thailand?!? Good Luck! Never gonna happen

"new rules to be enforced on island"

By who!?! BIB?!?

Asked what was the "symbolic impact" of his US visit, Thaksin said: "I just want to show that I can go anywhere but Thailand."

This is so UNtrue!! He CAN go to Thailand whenever he wants, but he is too scared for the consequences! I have no respect whatsoever for this spineless monkey-face.

Too bad they can not do BRAIN enlargement, or just a simple BRAIN utilization operations...

RIP Olivier!

Speedboats and longtails are the biggest danger for divers; even when using SMBs (safety condoms). I have experienced that longtails drivers use the SMBs as targets!!!! This is the same as attempted MURDER!

BUT they are Thai and we are just Farang, so everybody knows what happens next..... NOTHING!

I never drink and drive at the same time! I always drink before I drive, just to get me some courage to go into the traffic madness

If I want to smoke in a 'public' place, I always stand next to a police-man who smokes

Never had a problem

No worries, those Korean pumps would save Thailand, erm ... where are they, by the way, did they arrive yet ?

The worst (if you have the right friends/money) that can happen to you, is being transferred to another (inactive) post (probably with salary increase).

Of course this only happens with government jobs....

"There are four confirmed dead. We believe they are foreign tourists but it's not yet confirmed," Phuket deputy governor Chamroen Tipayapongtada told AFP by telephone.

"The four dead bodies were burnt beyond recognition. We cannot identify even their gender."

Three Singaporeans, one Japanese and a Myanmar national were among the dead, while scores of foreigners including some from Australia, France and Britain were injured.

Very suspicious that 3 Singaporeans, 1 Japanese and 1 Myanmar national makes 4 dead bodies..... Besides the obvious, these people were among the dead, meaning there are more people dead....

Likewise, they can not identify the gender, but they can identify the nationality.....(and they believe they are foreign tourists)

I think they need a crash course in CSI

HINT: do not believe everything (or is it "anything") you read...

Don't worry, Jean-Claude! They are just jealous....

I know I am. You have to be crazy or stupid to kick Kylie out of your bed. (unless you don't like her )

RIP to the woman ,as for the stupid drunk tourist

how do you know the tourist was stupid??????

By definition, 98% of the tourists are stupid . This is clearly shown in the latest TAT investigation which will not be publicized because it is too negative for the tourist image
