Who wants to block the frequencies, of what sounds a relatively benign unit, so badly that he forks out B10,000 rent, wages and for expensive radio equipment? Why?

Do you really think he was paying for this himself ?.

Red-shirts are a political group who are controlled by Pheu-Thai (which of course means Mr T in reality) - somewhat akin to the Brown shirts in Germany. You should be asking WHO would want to jam these signals. It almost certainly wasn't the guy who did it.

"somewhat akin to the Brown shirts in Germany"

Whenever someone blithely makes comparisons to Nazi Germany, you can generally dismiss the rest of what they have to say.

You can generally ignore everything he has to say, it's always just right wing rhetoric.

Those who need to learn well enough. Those who don't need to don't. The real comparisons should be made to English people who don't or won't speak other languages. Like Thai.

"The real comparisons should be made to English people who don't or won't speak other languages. Like Thai"

Those who need to learn well enough. Those who don't need to don't.

The slow march back to the stone age, well done General, you really are bringing back "happiness".

Ha Ha, good old NOAA still cooking the books. Give it up, you've been rumbled.

That is an incredible cache of weapons to just have lying around your house.

This should result in a lengthy prison sentence.

I wont hold my breath.

"I wont hold my breath"

Oh please do, read the last line of the article!

Try Sophos.

It's a nazi knees up.

yum yum.

Ban chainsaws worldwide! Worst invention ever.

Who gives a shit about a photo like this. It's fing stupid. I did so many hile Hitler salutes when a I was achild I couldn't count how many. It was fun and who gave a shit as a child.

Dead right, the queen was just a kid, now the queen mum and Edward the nazi, that's another thing.

if "brown outs" are the problem, and as we have seen that other countries like Germany are converting most of everything to solar,

why is Thailand not converting every roof into a solar panel? Every store, every parking lot, every government building.

It would be way cheaper, cleaner and make more sense that going backwards to 150 year old technology.

All you have to do right now is make up the difference and prevent shortages, no big deal at the moment.

Come on Thailand, let's move forward!

Possibly because there's just not enough profit in it.

I think a lot of people here don't quite understand the bigger picture here and why Les Majeste is being enforced so rigidly.

Is it a coincidence that most of the offenders are red-shirts ?.

The King is the one person who enjoys the confidence and the support of the majority of Thai people. It's common knowledge amongst Thais that certain people have long seen that as an obstacle to complete power.

I agree completely that it is a draconian and outdated way of stopping efforts to solve that problem, but Thais are famous for deciding on ways of doing things which are ludicrous to the outside world.

The communists want rid of the rich 'elite'. They make no secret about that. Someone needs to tell them that communism doesn't work. As Maggie Thatcher said about it : "You soon run out of other peoples money".

"As Maggie Thatcher said about it : "You soon run out of other peoples money".

Quoting that vile friend of paedos and murderous dictators, priceless!

His majesty himself has made comments about the situation. he doesn't like it.

Correct, I believe he said he should not be above criticism.

Huge? Komodo dragon? some people don't get out much.

I think you're being a bit presumptuous, on present form the all blacks are favourites, but this is the world cup when strange things can happen. If England can get through their difficult group and find their form, or the boks turn it on then who knows. C'mon England!!!

My surprise is that somebody still uses the Chrome browser, don't you like your privacy?

Knuckleduster? Who the <deleted> does the proofreading? using drugs. He used a mop head to prize open the barbed wire fence surrounding my garden Mr.Pickering told our reporter. If the reporter would get hit in the eye with a KNUCKLEBUSTER he definitely would know the correct spelling and maybe after that he'd be "ed-u-macated" and spell PRY, as in "He used a mop head to pry open the barbed wire fence surrounding my garden" But please don't fire the reporter because that would take all the fun out of reading the news in Thailand.

Knuckleduster is correct.

I hope Hung Sen tells him where to stick his decree.

Im pro junta but these subs are a crazy thing to buy. The writer of this story is totally right. Healthcare is far more important then a few subs. Its not like the military has a small budget or something like "I;m pro junta"

"I'm pro junta.....'

Too many steroids.

It's ok R. let Saan go back to total corruption, and in reality eventual anarchy......smile as he is in the minority.

"smile as he is in the minority."

The only things in a minority round here are your brain cells.

I'm not a fashion Nazi or anything, but somehow I've missed out on the whole men wearing necklaces thing. What will they be wearing next, high heels and stockings?

Yeah what is this world coming to, men with gold necklaces???????

I use ipvanish and all I can say is, try the free service first, I didn't then found out that the uk national lottery can spot a vpn so I still can't access it whilst abroad.

This is the trouble with drugs, when innocent people are affected like this. Hope they bang the cowardly attacker up to get him off the streets.

And from now on I refuse to take a photo of anyone unless they are pointing.

He said he "thinks" he's on drugs, most likely alcohol as he runs a bar.

If it's a hire bike, I believe so.

Walking down the road yesterday, a fortune teller beckoned me into her stall.

After a few minutes of gazing into her crystal ball, she burst out laughing.

This went on for a few minutes till I couldn't hold my irritation in.

'Snap out of it!' I yelled and struck her ( slightly) to get her attention.

She stopped laughing at once.

'Why did you do that?' she exclaimed.

" I've always been told you should try to strike a happy medium in your life'' was my reply.

If this was "worst told joke ever", we have a winner.

I think a lot of people are unable to grasp that the USA has only one interest : the National interest.

Sure they would like every country to be democratic and free, but that is not their prime concern. The are happy with a friendly dictator : the only issue there is he might change his mind.

So when it comes to the Junta/Thaksin/Pheu-Thai or whoever, they don't give a damn about the internal politics. The only concern is that the USA has a friendly place to put some bases and (if they have oil) a nice place of business for American interests.

The bottom line is that they would be quite happy with Thaksin as PM because they know he and his followers can simply be bribed. They don't give a stuff about the detail. They described Thaksin as telling Thai society "That greed is OK" and they knew full well how corrupt he was. But that means they have easy access to oil and few deals in the right direction give them a political decision they want.

Don't get me wrong : I'm a big supporter of the USA because they are the only ones who will stand up for what's right in the big picture but they are far from honest bedfellows.

"I'm a big supporter of the USA because they are the only ones who will stand up for what's right in the big picture"

"stand up for what's right", don't make me laugh, tell that to the people of Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Bahrain, Venezuela, Chile, Nicaragua, Novorossia, Crimea, Iran etc etc. America's only interest is the power of the dollar.
