If any of you have account with the UK timesonline news paper there is a news item in this weeks Sunday Times travel section about Thailand and Lao, Not good news .

My opinion: if you can't give link or text, don't bother with posts like this.

Agreed. The Times/Sunday Times whilst being an excellent online resource, is a subscription only website. To be frank, if a news related item is being published in their Travel section, then it's certainly not news.

Post and reply removed for baiting. Please keep it civil.

Seems to be a worldwide trend that people are quick to complain but seldom praise. There must be lots of good stories about Phuket.

I understand I am not suppose to comment on moderating, but why was the article jocko posted removed?

Anyway, it was about the tourist deaths in Thailand, and really, not surprising considering yahoos who have only ridden a bicycle can rent a motorbike here and get out into what are really dangerous driving conditions.

Posting a 2 line summary of the article would be no copyright infringement.

It is when it's a subscription service. For example, AFP does not allow quoting anything unless you are a paid subscriber. So, enough commenting on moderation decisions.

Yep! A colleague of mine just returned from his first visit. Stayed in Patong (gasp!). He came back tanned, fit, happy & can't wait to go again.

We girls bailed him up first & gave him all the warnings. He wasn't going to risk the hard time we gave the last bloke who returned & confessed to not using a condom with a bar girl...

Gotcha, thanks.

i read the story and tried to post on TV as a matter of interest for all who want to read it, it was part of a bigger story about Lao all i think is if i can read it in the paper here so can others it gives a bad impression of both country's.

I dont understand why you can't show it .

Dont shoot the messenger
