I did not find anything offensive to me in this mural, actually I like it, looks like a pimped out paint job for a muscle car, makes me wanna go and visit and hopefully sneak some pix...As for being appropriate in a temple? Well, who decides that? Temples have to be solemn. contemplative, quiet, introspective, not challenging, rebellious, unconventional!! Jails have to be dreary, gray, forbidding, terrifying...Hospitals have to be mournful, smelly, hush hush...and so on...We, the societies of mostly western countries developed these "appropriate" traits for certain institutions and then exported tem to other cultures and if someone decides to experiment or play around with those traits then our collective panties are up in a punch...chill out.

congrats, tubby!

Kittiratt cited an official duty to attend a World Bank meeting in Washington DC, an NACC source said yesterday.

Kittiratt: Gotta go to DC, man, get me some pointers on offshore banking...

The lawyer would request that the NACC review its resolution in order to allow four additional witnesses, including caretaker Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, as the official who was in charge of investigating alleged corruption in the scheme;

Please NACC, let Chalerm testify. Not only will he speed up Yingluck's conviction, he will also provide sorely needed entertainment as the comical relief!

You are living with red-necks, which is a good thing! You could start the Thai version of "Duck Dynasty". (there is a beard problem, though)

some more stooopid jokes:

when it itches, scratch, don't shoot...

anyone for Thai Roulette?...

Marching band members apologise for their 'childish behaviour'

Well, you are children, so the behavior fits. However, the school director is not a child...

Next time he does this just take the opening and shove it in your bag and when he comes up just say

DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM ?

Just pocket everything: key chains, begging card whatever he drops on your table. And that's that.

And that would be the time the guy turns out to be genuinely disabled and everyone would have witnessed (and maybe on CCTV) the "horrible farang" throwing the deaf man's things across the room or pocketing them without a donation.

I wouldn't give him any money, but I would rather not even chance screwing around with someone who's disabled even if he's almost certainly a scammer.

I'll never forget the story John Robinson (who had no arms or legs) told:

Toward the end of his college career, John and two of his friends were waiting in line to exit a nightclub when a woman shouted at him, "If you would just get off your knees this line would move a lot faster!"

What to do then other than find a big hole to crawl in.

I totally disagree. When I am having a meal in a restaurant I expect not to be disturbed by beggars, legit or otherwise...Other locations/events are off limits, too, like funerals, weddings, at the movies, basically anywhere where you expect some privacy. If they invade your privacy they should deal with the consequences. If I am approached in a public place, like walking on the sidewalk, I will react differently. This goes for all beggars, whether individual, institutional, organizational or governmental.

Just pocket everything: key chains, begging card whatever he drops on your table. And that's that.

Surapong, this shining example of clueless ineptitude tried to involve the UN Secretary General, Barack Obama and now the International Criminal Court, who all tell him it's not their business to meddle in Thai affairs...Wonder who is next on his list: Santa Klaus? Al Qaeda? NASA? Barney the Purple Dinosaur? Jet Li?

Can't wait for Yingluck's removal and this fellow then becoming caretaker PM...

Col Danprai told the Phuket Gazette last week that he had been unable to follow up on Mr Taylor’s case with the public prosecutor. “We are very busy identifying [missing Russian expat] Mr Slabinskiy. Please give us some time. We will get back on the Taylor case as soon as possible,” he said on Thursday.

Totally understandable. The good Pol Col can't do the above because of the below...

Missing Phuket Russian's family increase rewards for kidnappers' arrests

In addition, the family is offering a reward of B300,000 that will go to the police officer who arrests the two men.

Its just Thainess. Ground crew doesn't care if air crew gets blown up in mid flight, air crew has to be instructed by passengers on proceedings, and the guy gets taken to a mental hospital and is released. So what?

Hope his mobile survived as well, so he can finish what he started.

She had 'fair chance' time and time again during her time in Parliament to

• present the accounts of the rice scheme (asked for many times but not presented)
• to present evidence of rice sales (asked for many times but never presented)
• to present evidence of G2G rice deals (asked for many times but never presented)
• to investigate reports of corruption (reported many times but never investigated)

Her chance now to account for her actions - or inactions.

I think that very fair.

...but, all that stuff was stolen...by farangs...members of ThaiVisa forum...

A rehearsal for what? Jatuporn doing the CanCan on stage?

...the color is about right...

picking up on foreigners again for this or that is easy.

they shrunk down the Club Med village to a simple hotel since they complained about sailing activities,diving,surfing,touring...

just because it was taking off the locals on the beach.

the labour law is so tricky that you can take any part of it to serve your purpose against foreigners,

i wonder what will happen with ASEAN regulations next year .

will Thailand put the pants down or order to get the money down?

re: ASEAN, then the double standards become triple

Chalerm said he had visited the rally venue, and said he was not worried about violence.

He said he had learnt from Aree Krainara, chief guard for the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), and Nuttawut Saikuar, secretary-general of the UDD, that there would be no marching.

Instead there will be a full bar set up and pole dancers, so Chalerm decided to spend the weekend.

Meanwhile, director-general of the Internal Trade Department Mr Somchart Soithong said his department is poised to raise recommended prices of 10 popular dishes by 5-10 baht a dish as the ongoing drought has heightened prices of cooking gas, meats and vegetables.

...and, once the rainy season starts, we will raise it again because of flooding...

It's just calisthenics, lifting the middle finger improves the blood flow to your brain...I do it everyday, just read my posts...

Just have to love the way they publically warn suspects that they know who they are and we are going to arrest you. Get to your travel agent and buy a ticket as we will be attending your home at 1.30 p.m (after lunch) on Friday to arrest you.

It's part of the Thai police culture of corruption - give warning to the perpetrators on the run. While other police and bureaucrats are assisting in the effort to aid and abet.

agree, also tells them to get their money ready...

He suggested that the government should issue certificates to qualified operators to guarantee their service to boost consumers' confidence before they decide to buy.

Oh yes, certified by a corrupt government...I can see the design of the certificate already, and it involves a raised middle finger.
