A senior CSD officer, Pol Colonel Jiraphob Phooridej, said he believed So remained in hiding in Bangkok, not in the provinces. He would find it difficult to leave Thailand because he is a wanted person and the immigration police will be watching out for him, he said.

In other words: Mr. So will have to pay more to leave Thailand.

The world would be a better place without religion.

Nope, I think the crazies and the power hungry will just use and pervert any other ideology or philosophy to suit their goals.

The world would be a better place if people would start to use their brain to think for themselves, but that's a long shot...

KK...your post #396...Good Shot. Pseudo selfie by chance?

Yes...my buddy took it, we swapped cameras and shot each other

“However, if more operators are allowed there will be more and more and the management of the past will be useless. Everything will go back to how it was a decade ago.”

How about everything should go back to how it was 5 decades ago?!!!

"Staff took over three hours to shoo Duan the elephant, believed to be about 30, back to the forest. However, he came back again at 9am, so officers decided to feed it."

Yeah, I'm kind of seeing a flaw in this strategy.

Officers do what they know and what works for them: they bribe him

Looks like they killed one of the only police concerned with doing their job. Stick a needle in both of them. Maybe it will send a message. Don't need trash like this wasting good oxygen.

agreeing with your sentiment, ....but who is going to stick a needle into a military general's son?

"You are a bandit!"

"And you are a super-bandit!"

"Then you are a super-duper-bandit!"

"And you are a super-duper-bandit times two!"

"I'm going to tell my older brother!"

"Phew, I'm going to tell my older sister!"

"Mom, Mooommm!!!"

An amazing way to run a country.

I think that's a great idea to improve the economy in the provinces. Impeachment vote buying will be much more frequent and more expensive than simple election vote buying. [/quote

Stimulate the economy!

ahem,...yes, you understood.

Russia bans transgender people and other 'deviants' from driving

... while the top 'deviant' of this sorry country gets chauffeured around to wherever he wants to be...not fair, they need another revolution!

Thailand's Minister of Transport, Air Chief Marshal Prajin Janthong, said the cheap fares for domestic flights offered by low-cost airlines are hampering the business of public bus companies in Thailand.

Well, according to the article, they are hampering the business of one owner of several public bus companies...pray tell, ACM Prajin, what exactly is 'Lady Giew' to you?

As the Prime Minister of Malaysia has said, we must fight extremism with moderation, cross-cultural understanding and respect

Yes, moderation has worked very well so far, cross-cultural understanding is at an all-time high (with expressions of "Allahu Akbar" and "Jihad" finding their way into everyday usage), it's only the respect thing we still have to work on, when you are kneeling blindfolded waiting to be decapitated it is hard to sincerely convey respect, but with enough time and many more traumatic incidents I am sure we will all learn to develop the proper respect automatically. After all, we are creatures of habit.

"We have already requested police, soldiers, and rescue workers

and special ops, snipers, the navy, helicopter gunships. our submarine, and some men in black...

I've got to check that out, should be fun...

What has an African animal to do with Thai spirits in Bangkok? What kind of logic..., oh I get it: The Thai spirits encounter the zebras on the bridge and become totally confused and forget about making mischief. Makes sense.

Lobbyist Robert Amsterdam broke with fugitive ex-Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, citing deteriorating conditions of human rights following the May coup.

So, Robert breaks up with Thaksin because human rights deteriorated in Thailand? As I understand it, neither one of them has been in Thailand for the last few years, which means they are certainly not affected by any alleged deterioration of human rights. Further, Robert, as a lawyer you should actually harden your heart and steel your resolve in the face of such abject mistreatments and hop once more into the breach...As for you, Mr. Thaksin, ja nah, the human rights argument just crumbles like dust in the wind when confronted with what you have done in the past, n'est-ce pas?

Can therefore some TV members enlighten me as to why, oh why Robert really broke up with the Sand Man?

"Driving her (Yingluck) out of politics could instigate resentment among her political supporters,"

She is not being 'driven' out of politics, she is being impeached and indicted, all according to Thai rules, regulations and due process...what could be fairer than that? Especially in the light of those Thai rules, regulations and due process having been put to good use by herself in the past. So, what comes around came around.

Aren't these regulations and rules being re written by the current military government. I don't like the shins but you cant rewrite things and then put them back in history.

That's correct. Everyone who grabbed the power long enough eventually found the time to retouch history by amending, changing, rewriting whatever laws were inconvenient. That's ok. This started probably since mankind got 'civilized'. Thailand might be even holding a record for charter rewrites in the last 100 years, which is not a bad thing - it's just the way it is. If the law doesn't suit the group in power, it will be rewritten.
