    complain that old sex images of her are being used to promote a Line application group. 
     

    Can't take the heat, then don't ever get near the fire.  Work in porn then complain that your pictures are being distributed on the Internet for whatever reason?  Stop being silly.  Then the big question: who owns the copyrights to those images?  Like most porno stars, she was probably paid a 'modeling' fee and actual is not the copyright holder.  But if she is, more power to her.  Get a lawyer instead of complaining to the cops.  Then get a court order to take down the copyrighted images.  If she doesn't hold the copyrights - so sad too bad.  Back to:  Can't take the heat, then don't ever get near the fire.

    “It’s past the point of saying sorry. They didn’t come to the hospital. They’ve shown they aren’t remorseful,” said Rungroj Khwunkomol, the aunt of a student beaten so hard that his spleen ruptured.

    It's about time that Thai stop accepting a wai as being OK for crimes like this and instead demand criminal charges be filed followed by civil proceedings for monetary damages.

    Mate I certainly wouldn't get abusive toward you particularly as I've only just joined this site and you are 20k+ posts. However with all due respect I can assure you it's not a "wind up" and I'll do the courtesy of giving the full story if you are interested. I'm sure there are  people on here aware of the overstay drama if you are found to be over your allowable period not at the airport but by the police inside the country. They don't care if you are 1 day or 10 years over the treatment is horrendous and what I've heard it is to do with some recent change in the law or policy. My story is real and one I'll never forget, I've only been home 3 weeks and it's almost 10pm here in Australia.  I'll post the whole story tomorrow because it will take a while to write.

    Actually the Thai immigration police do exactly what protesters in the United States are now marching, yelling, and screaming about:  They incarcerate people with visa overstays or no documentation.  Illegal immigrants and overstays are locked up in deplorable conditions, eventually processed, and deported.  My guess is that jail conditions in Thailand are far worse than the US although the throngs of anti-immigration protesters would disagree.  However, unlike the US, and the EU for that matter, there are no large groups of anti-immigration protesters backed by NGOs or Soros-backed organization, nor their supportive main-stream medias outraged over Thailand's immigration policies and handling of of immigration crime whose prosecution is portrayed  as unconsciously offensive in the West.  So none of the individuals in Western countries who support throwing open the doors of our own and all other Western countries to anyone and everyone will never be seen marching on Thai consulates world-wide or anywhere in Thailand demanding the same reform and abolition of Thai immigration enforcement agencies nor will there ever be a mention of the abysmal prison conditions.  Nope.  That 'organized outrage' is only directed at first world countries primarily the US and EU.  And yet - there is no difference in the immigration laws.  Only the amount of vocal outrage.  ?

    Efficient management seen as a major factor in rescue mission

    More like: Without the help of experience foreigners, those kids would probably either still be in the cave or no longer with us. 
    So it has a lot to do with those who could innovate on the fly.  Efficient management means making sure group pictures of the uninvolved of 'higher status' get published with awards, limelight, and copious praise.

    As opposed to the typical farang response: "We're not heroes, we were just doing what needed to be done with the experience we had at our disposal."

    But movies needs heroes and status conscious Thais need accolades and rewards.  So - form committees. 

    I'm not worried about having it if I leave the country.  But - it's consistency required as one of the photocopies needed from 90 day reports and visa renewals.  As I said, I'm not planning to leave Thailand.

    So if I 'lose' it, do I go to my local immigration office or will I need to go to the nearest International Airport and talk to immigration there?

    Get your own reverse osmosis with UV. Or buy a Katadyn or Berkey filtration system and filter the water you buy.  Really depends on your level of paranoia.

    Regarding the safety of water?  To be honest, live here long enough and your body is going to adapt to the bacteria.  That's why Westerners who are complete 'clean freak' end up getting the 'trots' when they get to a third world country while the locals are just fine.  The human body is pretty adaptable.  But I will take worm meds once a year just to be on the safe side especially considering a like salads, fresh veggies, and fresh fruit.  Immodium and charcoal are your friends until your body adapts. But keep yourself in a sterile bubble and you'll never adapt. 
    Regarding chemical contamination.  Whether it's ag runoff, industrial pollution, or the utter mess that fracking makes of aquifers, it's a problem world-wide.  Concerned?  Then go for the Katadyn or Berkey filtration systems.  :wink:
