farmers and manual workers are rather under-represented in the sample. This is a common problem. People who work hard are more difficult to interview.

what the f does this mean ? people who wear a tie and / or don't operate a machine don't "work hard" ?

that duped the good farmers from the north

yeah , they didn't know what they were getting into

they just knew it paid 500 baht a day

puh leeze !

like i am so sure

u mean people still go to phuket and order beers ?

who knew ?

that's what i've been saying !

that makes 2 of us in thailand

people coming out of the ground

that i'd like to see

to set an example to the missus

as if a thai ever notices what a farang is doing

i like the part near the end where the "reporter" is still wearing a military helmut (and maybe flak) as he walks through the squatters empty "campground" (rajdamri) AFTER they have been routed and retreated back to the rice farms .

what a blowhard .

(gee, what a surprise)

note to self ; continue to not go / use ATMS to / in "deepest Phitsanulok"

Can anyone help?

help w/ what ?

The protests caused the drought?

exactly !

don't u c it ?

And most of us do not like being labelled

actually, when ur on the right side (the side which DIDN"T burn down the city), i don't mind at all

i know what i wanted to say .

issan is like totally red right ? and a few months back they came down to bangkok , were allowed to camp / squat in the city center for two months (even provided w/ mobile toilets) and then on their way out to say thanks to the good citizens of the nation's capital the issanites burned down the malls .

when they got back to the farm , the gods , angry from what the people had done , directed the rains clouds to stay away .

the northerners MUST do penance and make big time merit for their "sins"

so far , haven't seen it

only then might the skies open

does not want to contest in the same field as a terrorist suspect

way to go gen . kittisak !

note to self ; continue NOT to rent jet skies in pattaya .

if u don't get ripped off , u get croaked .

Absolutely, CRES has the responsibility to provide security for the people of Thailand and the emergency decree is doing an excellent job at that. The emergency decree is not a problem for anyone except those who wants to break the law or create other problems

Please leave it until the end of the year or longer even

may i say ur thinking is flawless

personally i vote for the "longer even" part

the red-shirt movement would carry out operations to disrupt public order

i must agree with the CRES on this . especially as long as some of the nastiest reds r on the lam . personally, i don't even notice the emergency and no malls have been burned down in a month. it's working flawlessly !

as I feel I will drive it into the Mekong & watch it go to Cambodia before I give it to her

did u ever c the movie "war of the roses" ?

if not , do .

seems errors in judgements may have been made re: marriage , acquiring a car .

but that's DONE . the money's ALREADY gone . what r u gonna do , spend good money after bad on a lawyer (in a country where 99% of judges would never rule for a farang)

i'd think about letting it go .

to get a loan in her name for the sin sod amount

who says romance is dead ?

ps please let us know how ur beloved and more importantly her mom react to this idea (paying their own sinsot w/ interest over time)

pss DESPITE what you read here , they do do sinsot here . and in the grand scope of things , 200,000 is peanuts (for the privilege and pleasure of living with a young thai woman AND making her mom happy--for a while at least). if ur brain / soul is telling you that privilege and pleasure is not worth 200,000, well, that' something different .

personally, i'd hate to pay sinsot and have that be the only thing i think about when i look at it's recepient

ford rocks !

Kokaew is currently under remand at Klong Prem Central Prison on terrorism charges

i mean , could u make this sh * t up ?

can't the reds / PTP field a candidate who isn't in the slammer ?

u mean , people actually put valuables in their checked bags ?

who knew ?

yamaha nouvo

that's 2 big of a "bike" isn't it ?

can a food item w/ "burger" in it's name BE bad ?

Turned out the insurance broker pocketed the money but did not insure me

what a country !

Now there's a man I would have followed.

i am sure the PM lies awake at night wishing he had ur support

why the reds were there in the first place

i don't know how i could have made my reference to their 500 baht a day payments any CLEARER .

reconciliation

is it that unclear ? who want's reconciliation ?

re: wat pathum . maybe the monks will think twice next time about their letting their "sanctuary" being used as a refuge for arsonists, thieves and looters (or didn't u read the piece about booty from central world being found there?)
