Thai government not consulted about martial law: PM's aide BANGKOK, May 20, 2014 (AFP) - Thailand's embattled government was not consulted in advance by the military about the declaration of martial law but it is still in power, said the chief security adviser to Prime Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan.

Everything is normal except the military is responsible for all national security issues," Paradon Pattanatabut told AFP.

  7. The new Dracula tv series is great: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_%28TV_series%29 As is Hannibal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_%28TV_series%29
  8. Forgive my bad English. But what I meant is the former owners of the bar that is now a gogo. Sorry for the confusion. I do hope they keep the prices the same as Ray did. 40 baht for a plate of chips was great!
  9. Everything inside was gone. Including the bar
  10. I went by there just now as I was in the neighbourhood. It is being rebuild. Walls on streetside are gone, they were building inside. So it is closed at this moment
  11. Ray sold the Offshore to the owners of the place that is now a gogo bar on soi 23. I was there 1 day before Ray's last day. He had had enough of it for quite some time already! I was going there myself about once a month sometimes more as I liked the fresh chips he has. I have not been in since. But Ray said the new owners would renovate it and continue it more or less the same.
  12. So just now I went downstairs in my condo because I wanted to buy some eggs to make a fried egg with cheese on bread. Nothing unusual I have been buying eggs there for close to 15 years. I walk out of the shop and a woman whom has been living as long at the condo as I have and whom cuts my hair shouts out ..... oh wow the farang eats eggs leh ....... I came close to blowing a fuse as I hear these kind of stupid remarks so many times, even from people whom have known me for a long time that I am seriously starting to wonder about this country from time to time . I ask the lady why a farang shouldn't eggs. She says, she had never realized people ate eggs outside of Thailand (and she was serious). So I ask her if people in Laos do not eat eggs, and she thought they would not, as eggs are a "Thai" thing. I get these kind of stupid remarks so many times in a week, it really gets on my nervs. Just last Saturday we are eating somewhere with the comedy group, with whom I have played for over 10 years and shared 3000 meals or so and I ask for the rice bowl and one of them says ..... oh you can eat rice leh .... . Same with tea, noodles, sticky rice, som tam etc etc etc. Like I said it gets on my nervs!
  13. And finishing off with the Bakermat Summer mix 2013 .... starting of with "strandfeest" (beachparty)
  14. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLF_1CB18W0&list=PLam6y3k_RuWNT1vLqv5lSlmSfHEVjR8IC
  15. And Bakermat also same genre as Klingande. Do not let the Duth title fool you not a word sung in Dutch
  16. Punga and then follow it with Jubel .....
  17. China looking for an excuse to invade Malaysia, Like Russia is looking for an excuse to annex the eastern part of the Ukraine ....
  18. March 31st 2014 RIP Frankie Knuckles, the godfather of house (https://en.wikipedia...rankie_Knuckles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOLE1YE_oFQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIdimVDuSEU "House was Disco's revenge" http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/turnitup/ct-frankie-knuckles-appreciation-20140402,0,5136893.column Frankie Knuckles, who died Monday at age 59 in Chicago, was not just the "godfather" of Chicago house music. He was a pioneer in the way he cultivated a culture, a sound and a community around dance music that decades later encompasses the world. Now DJs such as Skrillex, Tiesto, Deadmau5 and Afrojack can fill stadiums internationally as part of the EDM (or electronic dance music) movement. Whether they know it or not, they all owe a debt to Knuckles, the DJ who essentially launched their scene in the late '70s from the Warehouse, a narrow club on Jefferson Street that was a sanctuary for Chicago's gay community. It could be plausibly argued that Knuckles was as important to the birth of contemporary dance music as James Brown was to soul or Chuck Berry to rock 'n' roll. And like those innovators, Knuckles helped nurture a deceptively sophisticated sound that celebrated and embraced outsiders and misfits — in Knuckles' case, the gay African-American and Hispanic communities.
  19. Andrew RC Marshall â€@Journotopia 1m Malaysian PM Najib Razak announces "with deep sadness . . . that flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean." Florian Witulski â€@vaitor 1m Najib: Satellite analysis shows Malaysia Airlines plane's last position was west of Perth, Australia
