That is laughable

You sure about that? I have had friends posting on their pages regularly over the last couple of hours

errrr. what has food got to do with a plane crashing into a building ...

I hear you KS

Yes the reporter resembled a 4 year old

Shame as I thought it was a good article. Perhaps an edited version?

But Thailand does not have true democracy. The vote buying is evidance of that. Good starting point to eradicate corruption is looking at privacy laws. The FOI was a good starting point. Has createda climate where civil servants can be held accountable.

The guy does make two very good points. Whatcha think? http://youtu.be/M6bk4dMjl4g

I often think that. While Thailand portrays itself as a devoloping country it thinks and acts like a third world one. It is non-democratic where the money rules. The current battle between the old and the new money is evidance of that. And the level of corruption keeps it in a questionable state. Solution.........fark nose. What I do know is that the problem of corruption in developing countries simply cannot be resolved by applying structures that work in developed countries.

[sorry, but this is discussing things I don't want discussed here - KS]

One of the best events I have been to and gets better every year. Looking forward to Lauren Hill and The Pixies at the Opera House http://www.buzzfeed....-light-festival

That was my thoughts as well. Was from a Kayan press which was hard to confirm as current.

This still going one? What area was this? https://www.facebook...&type=2

Yeah Ban Thai is still there. Lodging choice of all the NGO volunteers. My friend the journalist up there live in one of the bungalows right up the back. I remeber I stayed there once. He had this wonderful Karen housekeeper who sadly had her throat slit one night while they were all sleeping. As for Y2K not sure. As I said most places were closed due to the holidays.

Unfortunately will have to wait until next trip up there YS.... what do you remember about it?

In Australia more likely to be told to sit down as majority will be running around the classroom high on the sugar fix they just consumed an lunch.

First one is of a falcon maybe and was taked inside a store because of the fridge in the background. Second one is of a sign on a post and is outside because of the tree.......there's your where and why

Society is way to soft on poor behaviour in many countries....on the other hand taken to the extreme in others.

phew.....

I hear curfew now Midnight to 4.00 am

Perhaps one of those TV shows like "What would you do?"

I have been visiting LOS for 20 years and am amazed that this type of behavior happens. http://youtu.be/7E9tzNf8rTk

My info is the curfew will be in place until June 1. Fairly reliable source.
