Thai police are conducting a manhunt for the German fugitive in Australian robbery cases who fled Suvarnabhumi airport during a transit stop on May 16, according to the immigration police commander

I believe Thai government should bill the expense of the manhunt to to that Australian security company...

He added that police have not yet ruled out conflicts between gangs demanding protection fees from roadside vendors as a possible motive.

I thought extorting protection fees is exactly how the police operates...

So if the tusks had been 20 cm shorter at the time of the attack, the victim would have survived??

Again it has been proven, that those beautiful and intelligent animals, should not be kept in captivity for our entertainment !

did you read the whole article ,, if you did ,you will find it has nothing to do with that they do that to " free the spirit of the victim "

...and the spirit of the victim is about 20cm long...

Makes perfect sense. They are planning to campaign for this, that's all. So, they will make a budget. Then they need funds. And more funds. These funds will be allocated to...someone, something(?!!). This is what they (civil servants, officials) do, it's their reason for being (moving funds from somewhere to someone). Whether the Chao Phraya deserves/has a chance to actually become a World Heritage site is not the point. The point is that some official can disburse funds in another scheme of national prestige, that's all. Makes perfect sense. Repeating myself...

"We have revoked Raccaqni’s visa and will deport him to Italy," Chitsanupong said.

...after he gives us a crash course...

members of the public are urged to call the 1669 hotline before removing children from the vehicle as soon as possible.

...for English press 9...to speak to an operator, press 0...all operators are busy now, please hold...

What if?

I come back from abroad and notify my address at Immigration. My wife (registered home owner) stays abroad longer and therefore can not go to immigration with me. Will she be fined?

What if?

I rent a home from owner who stays abroad. How is the owner going to notify my address to immigration?

What if Thai law makers start making laws that make sense?

Deputy PM Chalerm is ordering the Thai Police to attend madatory seminars in order to address the problem of misunderstood bribes taking:

Quote: "the concept of bribes taking is part of the Thai culture, and all the officers need to learn is to keep up with the latest Bribes Taking Techniques"

These are the seminars:

1. Location, location, location (take your bribe in a small, enclosed, previously searched area) - step-by-step walkthru, you fool

2. Camouflage (how to alter any identifying badges, decals, etc) - working with a dummy, you dummy

3. Misdirection (theatrics, dramatics, sleight of hands to fool any casual observers) - take a lesson from your favorite TV star, you nitwit

4. Proof? What proof?!!! (creative accounting, off-shore banking) - the pros and cons, you con

At the successful conclusion of the seminars, the officers will be given a bribes taking certificate to show any snooping reporter that they comply with Thai culture requirements.

Deputy PM Chalerm, having completed said seminars himself: "Just do it, dudes, your life will be so much easier, trust me!"

Due to the hot weather, it is assumed that the croc escaped from it's cage in search of food.

Looks like the means to escape is weather related, not negligence or bad maintenance...so whenever it's hot, crocs escape!

Oooooh. Selling the country. That accusation normally reduces normally calm Thai people into apoplexy.

Being called a whore is quite mild in comparison.

Yup, she did sell the country. To me, actually. Yesterday for 5 baht. I am now looking to double my money. Any takers?

It is scary to think how many die in thailand.

It is scarier to think who is investigating these deaths...

All appear to have exactly the same tattoos. Is that a Russian trademark or something?

Not tattoos: It's varicose veins...

As much as despise his deeds, I am almost as much disgusted by all these "kill him and castrate him", "castrate him and then kill him"...or whatever posts.

Pedophiles are mentally sick.

You don't wake up one morning and say "Oh...it is such a nice day...I think, I am going to FXXX a 10 year old!"

It is as little a choice as is homosexuality, heterosexuality, necrophilia or what ever you can think of.

If you are going on to ask for pedophiles to be killed...ask yourself: where would you stop? What is acceptable to you?

Pedophilia? Rape?

Okay...now what about your neighbor?

We know, that in Thailand (f.e.) rape and pedophilia are obviously much more "okay" than in "the west".

Do I say that is good? Hell, no!

But there are countries, where homosexuality is seen as the most evil and despicable thing to do...so...they are going to kill some gays instead...and that would be...okay?

Pedophiles are sick and they need help.

Do they need to be punished for what they do?

Yes, absolutely!

have a look at this...and try to get a grip!

Let the sh1t-storm begin...

Pedophiles do what they do by their own choice. They know what they do is wrong and criminal, but when they "indulge" anyway, it is by their own volition alone. They have the choice to seek medical help, or to just "relief themselves" until the urge is gone...If they still commit these acts despite, then they themselves chose consciously to do it and I believe that they will continue until caught.

Personally, I do not want my taxes to be wasted on a cycle of evaluation, rehab, reintegration and other "help". Why should they be helped after having proven that they see children as objects and not human beings? I believe acting pedophiles have forsaken their humanity and should not be accorded any rights or institutional assistance, which should be reserved for real human beings (...and same goes for terrorists)

No reason for tuk-tuks to block sea taxi project: Phuket Marine Chief

Phuket Gazette -

...since when did they ever need a reason?

...in related news: Bangkokians have started to post photos of corrupt police officers on Facebook...

Its not funny. They have weapons of mass destruction.

Kim Jung-un is their weapon of mass destruction. He's caused the loss of millions of NK lives.

Kim Jung-un is their weapon of mass destruction. He ate all their food.

MP Chuwit Kamolvisit, who has famously said he constantly had to pay off corrupt policemen when he ran massage parlours, last year claimed that an illegal Bangkok casino gave police Bt2 million a day to let it keep operating.

2 million baht/day from one casino? Isn't that a bit over the top, or am I being naive?

Chalerm: It's not a crime, It's a Thai tradition!

Husband was 61 years old, how old is the wife?

Quote: "According to the law, Pongsapat who quit the police force to run in the election has the right to be reinstated to his earlier post or a post equal to his earlier post if he does not win the election."

So does the police force have a bunch of these posts lying around, waiting for some looser to be reinstated, or do they create those posts on the fly when needed?

I assume they mean 'inconclusive'.

yup, they seem to have trouble with the big words...

Horrific....throw the book at them.

First they should drop the "Royal" from their designation "Royal Thai Police", imho it constitutes Lese Majeste to associate the Royal Family with wholesale corruption...Maybe if this works, in some years they could have the honor back.
