That explains a lot - some people are just into that kind of thing I suppose.

Oh my God, where to start with this... 1. The taxi drivers are growing food to eat. What is a publicity stunt? What would be the point of it? 2. Does it look like the plants are dead in the pictures? How hot does sheet metal get when it is covered with sheeting and a thick layer of soil? You do realise the metal is not getting direct sunlight anymore because it is covered by soil right? So how hot will it be exactly? This is one of the dumbest comments ever. 3. Dig up the parking lot. Where would you propose they store all the cars? And how much would it cost to dig up all the concrete and replace it with soil? And to think some people on here say the Thais are dumb.

A couple of years ago?? Try 8 years!

So growing your own vegetables because you can't afford to feed your family is ludicrous? The level of insensitivity, cruelty and smugness on this forum is so appalling. I hope you never have to find yourself in a situation whereby your source of income has gone and even feeding your family is a daily struggle. And to the poster who said these guys should do it in a proper place like their condo balcony - seriously?? Get a grip.

First comment in thread and it doesn't disappoint with its pointless negativity and nonsense. So nothing should be reported or written about other than vaccination figures?

I have absolutely no idea, nor do I care. Not sure why you are so hung up on this or refusing to admit you are wrong.

Yep, tons of rich and famous do. Sven Goran Eriksson. Robbie Fowler. Joe Cole. Robbie Williams. Kimi Raikkonen.

Plenty of diesel trains all over the world. Nearly 30% of the rail in the UK is diesel. The US is probably 90% + diesel. Japan itself has plenty of diesel lines - generally they donate decommissioned diesel stock when they replace them with...........new diesel stock. Must admit I was quite surprised taking the train from Tokyo to Sapporo that half the journey was an a rickety old diesel train.

Yep, it is only the cheap charlies on here that think the rich are bothered about paying 1,000 baht for a bottle of wine that would cost 500 back home. They really don't care or even notice - they are drinking 10,000 baht bottles of wine anyway. If they did care nobody would visit or live in Singapore.

Yeah, lots of places do.

Don't worry I am sure it won't be long before someone comes along to ruin it - most threads that have anything to do with Thai food contain snipes like "cockroach infested", "dirty oil", "MSG laden", "Wouldn't eat Thai food if it was the last thing on earth". I agree though, nice upbeat story of a community coming together.

CD??? Why not go all out and put them on a floppy?

Amazing, how long did it take you to come up wit that one?? Would love to know your insight in to the saga that lies behind this. Please explain. I do not support this decision at all, but they are obviously starting to play hard ball and force pressure on the BMA who owe them billions of baht for essentially operating the extensions for free. They have been threatening to raise their fares unless the BMA pays what it owes, seems like this is the first step to show they are serious. I could be wrong, but that's my interpretation.

So CP are not overcharging you. They are not abusing their position. They are cheap enough for mom and pop stores to buy from and then sell on at a profit........and you avoid those mom and pop stores because they bought form CP? Even though it works for their business?? What does it matter to you where a small local store buys from? If they are buying from CP you will boycott them? You have some weird messed up priorities.

I agree, you should wear a shirt when out walking your dogs.

Yet you keep banging on that he got out of the van at Big C in Petchaburi, therefore he could not have been in Kanchanburi. So the van driver's testimony is gospel right? Why isn't he confused with a bald farang, but everyone else is? You have no consistency in your arguments. Man goes in room with woman. Man comes out, woman is not seen. Man's case on check out needs two people to carry. Woman is found in an identical case, dead, weighed down by decorative stones the man is witnessed buying. You dismiss all this as people get confused over appearances, she might have left unknown then been murdered by someone else and then stuffed in an identical suitcase that was also filled with similar stones, yet you believe the van driver who knows exactly where this guy disembarked. Admit that you favour the white guy and be done with it - it would make things easier and you would get more respect for being honest.

I award you five stars as the best troll of the month, well done. Can't believe people are still biting.

Yes, and one of his (many) defenders on here is using that information to suggest he couldn't have done it - if it needed two porters, how could this well built man have possibly moved the suitcase to a river by himself?

Just because the porter took his case it doesn't mean he couldn't manage it. Look at him. Are you telling me he couldn't move a suitcase with perhaps a 50kg body in there by himself??? Why would he do it on the bed? Wouldn't you do it in the bathroom? And when did you see the evidence? Where does it say there was no blood at all? Why are you just making stuff up?

Yeah, definitely should prevent it from raining.

There are stone shops all over Thailand. There is one less than 1km from where I live in Bangkok, selling stones, rocks, granite, all sorts. So funny reading all the armchair detectives on here casting doubt on everything, saying it's fishy etc. I can just imagine the exact same posters calling for the death penalty if it was reversed - a Thai man accused of murdering an English girl. But when it's the farang man suddenly the case is flimsy (not flimsy enough for an EU court), the fact he found stones is VERY strange, the fact he's built like a brick ****house doesn't register with anyone (how could he have moved it by himself?). Anyway, carry on!

Yes.

Another unnecessarily negative, untrue, and silly comment. Did you read the article (don't worry, I know the answer). It was a daily situational report dealing in facts and figures. No-one was/is bragging, it's just a simple daily report - the same one you get when they vaccinate 200,000 people, or 400,000. They also report the number of new infections, the number of deaths etc. And bringing the TAT into this is just ridiculous. Seriously, what do you get out of making up nonsense like that? Is it just so you can get your "third world" comment in there to make you feel superior? Well guess what, this third world country is currently vaccinating people quicker than most "first world" countries ever did.

Who's boasting? Absolutely no one. The CCSA (you know, the Covid situation committee whose job it is to keep the public informed on the situation of Covid) gave their usual daily update of the Covid situation. Tell me who is bragging and what they said.

What have 150k doses from Bhutan got to do with anything? A pointless snide comment.
