My impression has always been that the girls that hang down by the beach are infected with HIV or too addicted to drugs to be able to hold a job at any bar.

Maybe I'm wrong and its the sweet innocent ones who don't know how to get a job at a bar, but I've always rather thought that punters who take beach girls have a death wish anyway, and to what lengths should we go to protect them from themselves.

Kindof harsh I know, but they're obviously willing to engage in very risky behaviour and will come a cropper one way or another anyway

can you help me out?

What does "not up to crack"really means?

I think this is just part of an increasingly hysterical and desperate attempt by the Elite to force the Army to Kill its opponants.

The Army are still reluctant and possibly could be the peace makers here. They are not doing their masters bidding by killing this week as they realise that the masters could be in for a change!

The Yellow protesters are looking more and more like the flat earth society, pinning their hopes on some trumped up LM charges to give them something to rally around.

They seem to think that if the Army just kill a few thousand people, their regime can survive. It can't and more and more of their backers are beginning to realise it. Hence the Nation sending in the shock troops with this drivel.

Most of this is devisive propaganda and would be banned if it were as biased towards the Anti-Government side. Can't we raise the bar on this site and have less of it?

exactly - it's the last ditch attempt by the desperate Elite to retain power - it's over - they are doomed

doomed my foot,

the government is backed by,

the clerics

the aristocracy

the money,banks,stockmarket the casinos(yeah there are many of them now,owned by Chavalit

the drugpushers and makers(illegal drugs)

the industry

the oilcompanys

Obama Barracka

etc etc.

maybe the mafia and FBI and Fidij

Hysterical, heavily biased nonsense - just another day at the office for the Nation writers. This is not journalism.

Wrong are you!

I think for one,that is a brilliant piece of reporting,right on the spot.

Cant help to tell you,that your own opinion sucks,gotcha.

Mybe in your self rightious way,you can come up with a better way to describe the misery created by master taksin,(maybe your boss as well)??

Reporting is always a twosided sword,,one believes the news,others deny the truth.

If there is a physical clash, the Reds will win, provided the army stays out of it. the Reds are tough folks. The men are real men, not delicate city dwellers that are not used to physical hardship. The Reds are not the ones that will need to put on the whitening cremes, scents and body lotions before the go into battle. I'm sure if there is some girl on girl 'rassling action the redshirts will win.

Wrong,this time.

The kid-gloves are off.

The yellow's I would say ,the sot so silent mayority has reared its ugly head.

The money,the aristocrats,autocratss,the clerics are fed-up by beeing disturbed by ANYBODY on the street.

Let them pissfully demonstrate,l

let them make their point,

let them send their negotiators to the roundtable,

let them use LEGAL means.

Dont let them use Riff

Raffs,would be Rambos to prove their might.

Democrazy or not,its not acceptable to cause such turmoil and aggrevation in the strrets.

The perpetrators should be apprehendet and charged for disturbing the peace.

If they declere war,let them do it in written.

If they threat to burn bangkok down,then lets go to their villages und burn them down.

or exersise Sippenhaft.

The parents are in Cahoot with their sons and daughters, put them in reeducation camps.

Obama would have called the National Guard and it would have been over in 5 days from the beginning.

Beiing colored he is beyond critisism,or else you or I are than branded Racist,simple as that.

I tell YouI am no racist,I just dont like...

Taksin is racist,he is Liu chinese from Chiang Mai.

If you follow his career from schooling onward,you will be surprised at the sorry facts,that he was supported by some higher -up poeple.

just see his father,brothers,stepbrothers,all career soldiers.

T.Came from a poor family, and now this family/clan is among the richest in thailand.

I ask you ,where did all that money come from??

Puff the magic dragon,down by the beach ??

So without any intervention to the contrary, a wife, acting as legal representative, could cause the property to be sold, mortgaged or otherwise disposed of to the detriment of the child.

Hmm. This is getting interesting. Have a look at section 1574 of the civil code which seems to contradict what you have just stated (http://www.thailawonline.com/thailand/civil-code), but at the same time see section 1577 which seems to (sort of) support it ... it says that land can be given to a child as long as it is not managed by a person who is "exercising parental power".

At the same time I have been advised that in many cases the Lands dept people simply will not accept a child signing an agreement when it is clear the child is too young to understand what they are doing.

Can I ask anyone reading this, who has been through this process, to mention their experiences? In particular, how old was the child? what paperwork did you have to complete? the nature and value of the property? any other issues that were raised?

tried in vain the same route,to no avail.

have been told, that it is not possible for a child(or other person) who holds dual citizenship,to own land etc,unless as stated in a lease agreement,eg. 30 years lease.

Or as part of a inheritance,or as part of a registered company,then only up to 49 %.

I am not sure if that apply"s to your case

In this era of rapid global communications, TV, and the Internet, I can see how both sides would use casualties as propaganda. But to say that the Reds are cannon fodder is incorret. Even without Thaksin, they have a genuine cause to fight. On the other hand, the army and police are being PAID to fight. They are the expendables - and without a genuine cause. They can be replaced with extra public money. You cannot use the term cannon fodder here, sorry.

You don't have a very clear understanding of the term Cannon fodder ---- The red masses are exactly that. They are to be thrown at installations like 1st Regiment and then when the reds start tossing molatov cocktails your red masses get mowed down (hopefully only by water cannon!)

You reds wouldn't be there if it weren't for Thaksin and your claiming otherwise means you are either clueless or deliberately obfuscating. The red leaders answer to Thaksin and Thaksin thinks that reds dieing in the street (as cannon-fodder) is better for him than to have accepted elections a year early.

Feel free to go visit the rally and look around for influences of Thaksin, like his photos everywhere, like his funding, like his phone-ins ----- this is all about Thaksin and until that changes then the reds just have ZERO credibility.

I posted the idea several times,but no buyers for it.

Why does Taksin never wears RED,Never,never,maybe he hates the color (colour for UK).

I think "Cannon Fodder" is a term from the world wars,

where soldiers in the millions were thrown into battle.

Better use "Pawns",its more human,"Fodder "is for the Oxen and cows etc.

U play Chess,there you can waste a lot of Pawns.....

I am not really a smartallex, but trry to.

But the term "cannon fodder" would imply that these rural poor don't have a mind and will of their own - that they have merely been coerced to being there. Could one man really convince this many poor people to fight a cause against a failing system? Do you think these people don't have a genuine cause for being there? They are protesting outside a mall that sells goods, which they produce for next to nothing and which retail at much inflated prices, to the benefit of the Bangkok elite. Don't you think these people want a real, wholesome slice of the pie? Conversely, their opponents are a paid army and police force. Surely, this group are the "cannon fodder", not the Reds.

Hola,

funny itis,nowadays no Forum of the Poor,are protesting anywhere,no beggers brigades,jobless poeples,ex con,etc.etc.

I guess all are on he payroll of the reds, by now?

Might be wrong!

domeone seems to have diarrhea in his mouth at this time...a little discretion would have been more welcomed after all abhisit's efforts.....

Hip Hip Hurray,

Fatso unplugged the TV,used the power -cord arount his 20 packs(not 6 pack) and did the abseil trick.

Either I am colorblind or daft,obviously the "cord " was a part of a professional abseil gear,

must have practised that B4,can see clearly he decendet hand over hand.

Lucky he escaped,or else the Fuzz would have been lynched.Or 50 protesters in lilac dead.

Their original escape plan included a Polish submarine but...well, you know how that one goes...

They actually had a yellow submarine, but run out of gas, before they could escape to Poland. I thought Polish people are only stealing cars? But now they started to like the Euro more.

there are about 200.000twohundred K,polish poeple in the UK.hardf worker,good poeples.

In Thailand I havent come across one Polish citizen,most say ,they are from Russia/Ukraine/Montenegro(pun intended)

I know the man and woman drink a lot and have fun.(so do we also).

I think there was no polish citizen involved in that scam.

Talk about stuuuupid!

going Dutch,

ask for ransom,then split the loot.Happened B4

Such natty dressers, must be the new quality tourists we keep hearing about.

Most likely a case of one set of thugs stealing from another. I say give'em each a gun and let them settle it at 12 paces.

slug it out,

high noon style,eh?

I'm not surprised at all. Almost all the "professionals" who did a job for me here in Thailand had much worst skills than amateurs in my home country. Quality is a word that's not in the Thai dictionary I presume. Meticulous planning is also not a common habbit.

I don't understand why so many accept the low quality of various products of mind and hand...

beer Chang is good quality

most things on a day-to-day basis here ,are cheap when compared with the expensive GOOD QUALITY of homw products in the UK etc.

(like jap cars) 100.000 recalls now stopped SUV productions completely

beer chang is good if you poor it directly down the drain ,dont even bother to drink

cheap charlys bourbon

It's another snide piece and another nail in the coffin of journalism at Thailand's premier PAD mouthpiece. References to weight and appearance that would not be tolerated against other groups. Imagine a piece on Hilary Clinton referencing her body shape and appearance and ignoring all she said? Thats how low this pamphlet has sunk.

This was an assassination attempt. All the footage showed the room shot to bits.

They are now pinning their hopes on the Army. Are the Army going to run the country now if the Police can't?

Want to see serious loss of income, support and face for Thailand? Then let the Army go on a killing spree.

I think the smart move for the Reds is to negotiate with the Army. Then they all win, Army, Reds and business district. Leaves Mark and Thaugsabun out in the cold hoping that their 300,000 facebook supporters are enough to outvote 30 million red supporters!!

Mind you, stranger things have happened here.

where are the 30 million Red supporters.. 30,000 you mean... and for sure here the Army will go on a killing spree... give us some fun to watch on TV..

30 million red in the face supporters, maybe.

30.000,maybe,

on the payroll 15 thousend,

good on them.

trying to arrest political leaders just a few hours after offering the next round of political talks, was a bad move from the government. Who is going to take them seriously?

ps great publicity for the hotel, they would be on every tv news around the world - advertising worth tens of millions $

Another intelligent alien

Exactly

That 3 starlet hotel ,used by shortimers and backpackers alike.hardly recommanded joint,owned by taxin,mayby his wife.

Notice to the guests,

The lift has broken down,use balcony and rope provided or use shower cord.

good on them.

Arrafat, RIP, was a terrorist leader,then a national party leader,now he is dead.

RIP

The handkerchief round the Thai terrorists head remind me of Robbespiere hordes then.

Did you notice the wet spot between his legs,he pissed himself.

[newsfooter][/newsfooter]

should have slung the rope around his neck (sooner or later it will happening anyway),

"Kraxi the sarcastic lip at it again"!

Sickening...when will the government lies and incompetence stop?

And why are we focussing so much on who killed the 5 army personnel, and not on who killed the 19 innocent unarmed demonstrators? Terrorists indeed? I'd lay money that these government sponsored agents provocateur.

Abhisit has become a dictator who will stop at nothing and tell any amount of lies to hold on to power. Where are the 'terrorists' who were at the hotel? Did they escape as well?

Why doesn't he just call an election for God's sake? The red-shirts only want an election in a reasonable timeframe...one could be put together in 2 months and all the bloodshed would stop immediately....but no, we have more lies and dissembling from the government....

"No Live rounds were fired" and "Please give us the 580 rubber bullets and 6000 rounds of live ammunition that we left behind when we fled"...didn't we hear that the army only gave a few live rounds to each soldier to defend himself...where did the 6000 come from? If it was mainly rubber bullets how come there weren't 580 live rounds and 6000 rubber bullets?

What a stinking farrago of lies and deceit by Abhisit and his shadowy masters...

How do you know they were innocent and unarmed?

What makes you think that the Reds even care about the dissolution of the house? Because They say so? Many of the Thais I know think they want a lot more.

Why did they have to run from peaceful unarmed protesters?

for gods sake,dont bring the lord in this game,

erections now,for what,

to make the gunwielding terrorist from the south using the MK47 against all and sundry, maybe make him and his friends in arms , a M.P of the "TMP", a new Thai Murderer Party.

should read elections,not erections,

On helicopters: They didn't even use helicpoters last year during the violence around victory monument when they were pusing the Reds out of the area while Molotov cocktails were being thrown at them, buses set on fire and people running down little sois. I was in the area where the action took place and I remember being amazed they used no helicopters at all. This was with hundreds of troops marching south towards Ratchaprasong and no way of knowing where their opponents were hiding, which roads they had run down etc. Just another sign of either unbelievable incompetence or no real desire to actually win.

On TERRORISTS:

History has given us TERRORISTS who KILL demand $millions$ of dollars, TERRORISTS who KILL and demand the deaths of peoples/races of people, TERRORISTS who KILL and demand the release from prison of other TERRORISTS.

The Reds have killed nobody except in self-defense and they demand only one truly outrageous thing: that the people of Thailand be able to select their leader NOW via an election.

Hardly terrorists by anybody's definition.

Your posting is not correct

The parliement has already agreed to an early election

and what is this People of Thailand

Please show me the proof you have that 51% of all Thai want this

Oh sorry you have had the red indoctrination

Time to return to White brain now I think

welcome to the "Poeples Republic of Thailand",with Taxin as our Dear Leader (or Fuehrer) Heil-nobody!

Or" Heil Mary",better.

No wonder with all these commie countrys having borders with thauland and embassys Agent provocateures to indoctrinate the low-lives.

Along with the PROT.PoeplesR...of T. comes some concentration camps.

I did not know that Pol Pot ( a close friend of taxin) wrote a book,like Mein K,or a travelguide to the Killing Fields?

These reds are atheists,no respect for live,fellow citizen, religion etc. Now fake monks are mingling with them, maybe with a bazooka under their robe,or the odd MK47,

hoping like the suicidebombers, when they die they are going to Nirwana for a while,then Karma-reborn,some as dogs maybe?

Oh and don't forget at Rajaprasong they released balloons to stop the helicopters!!

I think someone needs to look at the military's budget.

Democracy and Freedom have a price. I hope democracy starts now..uphold the law, don't give and inch, arrest them all for being pirates and if the Red Shirts cannot police the bad element amongst them, then they are all guilty. Lock them all up or let the water cannons filled with 50% bleach fire all day long. Morons.

This is not how it works. You need to understand that many of the red shirts are protesting for democracy. For better wealth distribution. This is what they believe. This is what they stand for.

Unfortunately it might be quite a long shot from what their leaders have in their agenda.

Bleaching a grandpa and grandma who seriously believe that they are sitting and sleeping on the asphalt road of Rajprasong so that their grandchildren have a better life is taking your frustration against the wrong people.

Yet in the end, if things get out of control, and for some reason I think that very soon they will, it will be exactly these people who pay the ultimate price, while their leaders flee with private jets to Fiji.

I would still like to see a peaceful resolution to this, but at the same time wish for the resolution that won't just swap the tables and change the color of the mob on the streets, but one where Thailand can get back on its feet, where people of different backgrounds can live together in peace and harmony without fear of intimidation, and where not just wealth is better distributed, but also health care and education of all levels is made available to all.

Do I believe that would ever happen?

If Obama wasn't president of US and there wasn't swine flu epidemic last year I'd say "When US elects a black president and pigs can fly".

"releasing ballons to stop helicopters from flying "my foot.Need to spray some rounds and disperse the crowd,then move in,done in Nam.

It takes a blib to do that,besides with the backwash of the rotor blades and hovering for a few minutes,they need to release 10k balloons to have a impact.

Cannot do,downing a "copter (blackhawk down) takes a trained militia with RPG"s.

<Bleaching a grandpa and grandma>,better than killing/maiming them.

I think,pepperspray is more human.

60 % of rowdys in red are metered- taxidrivers/motorcycle taxi drivers, working shifts,they are Taxins army.

A new motorcycle here, a new taxi there, "and bobs your uncle",they demonstrate until Christmas.

(if there are still some alive)

What a humiliation for Arisman! What a coward!

Please add the Cops tune:

" Bad boy, bay boy, what your gonna do? What you gonna do when they come for you?"

He looked just as scared as a shirtless guy in the trailer park running from the cops

what do you expect from a man from the south

the SC Park Hotel

http://www.scparkhotel.com/

this hotel is known to be owned by the fugitive Thaksin

it should be closed forthwith for harbouring wanted fugitives

if they refuse to close then cut the power, water supplies, revoke all the drink, dining and dancing licenses and arrest the management for aiding and abetting fugitives

send the staff home on full pay at the hotels expense

this is a message that should be relayed to all other hotels anywhere in the kingdom, that accept red shirts under arrest warrant as hotel guests

if the red leaders want to be at one with their red brethren then let them sleep on the floor in the street with them instead of bunking up in a 4* hotel

telephatique eh.

I (i) tried in vain ,to make a post this morning,but the site was blocked,I (i) had similar words in my mind and fingertips,maybe not only you and me,

keep e'm coming ,

the good ideas,willya??!!

What a surprise, the police botched the operation. Another surprise, gunfire, hostage-taking, cowardly escape and violence. This country is descending into pure lawlessness.

already is

We will know when tomorrow comes.....

for the red flock;tomorrow never comes

Hmmm poems . . .

I noticed the same in my FB as well . . . usually vulgar insults or wishes of gratuitous violence. I'd swear I was reading a Nazi or KKK forum . . .

The word blood seems to always come up . . . for example:

"ดีครับ ถึงกทม.ปลอดภัย ... แต่ยังไม่ที่สุด ไอ้ม๊อบบ้าเลือดยังอยู่"

now that you mentioned KKK,80 % of the general populize dont know what the acronym stands for,thinking a new sandwich of KF..

By now ,according to that silence, Mufti Obama (hes a muslim isn't he?aka. Osama, must have send most members to Novosibirsk, and they freeze the proverbial balls,,off.?

I am not here ' Thai Bashing ' or anything like that. But who the hel_l in there right mind would want to be a Thai Citizen ??

The only benefit from it is that you can own land in Thailand. That is the one and only benefit. A Thai would still never see you as a Thai person.

So many bad things with it to.

Thai's are not well liked in other asian country. In Singapore from what i can tell from living there alot Singaporians seem to be very close to hating thai people when they talk about them working in Singapore.

Also a Thai passport is not worth the paper its printed on becuase you cant get a visa without alot of hassle for many countrys outside of Asia.

So whats the point for a Farang wanting a Thai passport ?

Kraxi-THR LIP at it again.

If you honor my precious opinion:

Most reades/posters/bloggers were in their Diapers in their own shhiit,when I was fighting on the frontline in the real shiit.

A while ago (guess in the 60'80"s a slogan was circulated ,even in the mainstream press."ASIA IS fOR ASIANS".

I never heard of that racial slur again,did you??
