That's the spirit.......I like it

Whoever planted the bomb will not achieve what he planed for.

The country should never surrender to terrorists.

Good to see that the 7%'ers cannot intimidate the majority of peace loving Thai's…

The tourist numbers will continue to rise against the wishes of a certain group which they bitterly refuse to acknowledge.

Costa - Do you ever NOT get the first comment in?

Like I said before it was conveniently wiped, drove through Chaweng and Lamai last night, all bars and restaurants were closed and things will stay this way, despite what TAT and the "spokesman" from the govt. spout.

Well if it had been Pattaya I may well have believed the the motive of the bomber was to cancel Songkran.
