Can we please bring back General Prem Tinsulanonda, just prop him up in a chair, blow off the cobwebs, dust him down, a bit of lick and polish. Play some old Jazz music on all tv and radio stations, broken only by some army broadcast to stay calm.
Can we please get the Thai people to forget about "playing" politics, please, its not going to work.
Please just let the experts run the country, it worked before it'll work again.
General Prem is not a solution for Thai diversion. In Korea he lost both ba... in a grenade explosion. He and Thaksin will never get along.
"Thaksin will never get along"
That's the point he would get rid of the scourge.

Ouch !! However it's very hard to describe this accident site as a "crime scene"
It is a crime scene in several possible ways:
1) Its a crime to let some people continue to drive without proper tests at the later years of life as they do in most other countries.
2) Its a crime that the steel barrier was unable to stop a car as it should have due to poor design or fabrication.
3) Its a crime as the Thais will probably try to blame the car so that the dear old couple don't loose face.
-
In other words Thais generally have a lack of understanding things that are logical.
-
Wait a minute... I'll just call my friend General Suchinda to see if he is available, to make the executive decision.
-
Chip based. Oh... is that the system other countries have been using for the last 10 years or more ?

I drove for a year on a British driving licence, no problem. There should however be no difficulty in you obtaining a Thai licence. Go to immigration for a set letter, then to a clinic for a medical certificate ( 5 minutes and they only take your blood pressure. ) With your wife take these to your local office with your passport and your home country licence, you'll be there about an hour. Take the simple practical test in the office and you will have licences for both car and motor bike. Then get your own transport and drive yourself. Your brother in law can join you whilst you're driving, BUT DON'T LET HIM DRIVE.
BTW. you don't need a wife to get your driving license (weard comment)
If I was the old guy I would not let you drive the truck. all that revving out of the power band, fiddling around with the gear stick trying to find the non existent 6th gear!, changing down when overtaking "which will in fact slow a diesel powered vehicle down"!
"My god no I would keep you away from my truck"!
-
Well... I see nothing wrong here... you are just too darnd sensitive. come-mon its a diesel it can do the low revs thing and save fuel, whats the rush big guy?
(Oh almost forgot there is a rule here- "the bigger the transport the more priority you have" so don't worry your head about running over the kids, they don't have any rights here because they are small)

Will I face any issues as a tourist?
If political unrest continues, check with your travel insurance provider what your policy affords you, prior to departure.
Nothing out of the ordinary that us expats have noticed. The country is its usual basket case, but they leave us alone.
"Nothing out of the ordinary that
uswe expats have noticed."Interesting. I know many TV posters assume that all 66 million Thais think and act exactly alike, but I hadn't realized that all expats were now expressing their collective opinion through one spokesperson.
"The country is its usual basket case, but they leave us alone."
One way you can probably tell if things are going pear-shaped is that the perpetual dull whining sound emitted by the (apparently single-minded) expat community will reach sufficient pitch to break glass, and several threads on TV will be discussing the availability of:
"One way you can probably tell if things are going pear-shaped is that the perpetual dull whining sound"
Nope. Its when they play jazz on all the TV and radio stations continuously and the regular programs vanish.

"Up to you" is the official Thai response, but my advise is don't wear a Red tee-shirt, a Black tee-shirt, a Yellow tee-shirt, a Blue tee-shirt or a pink tee-shirt, but I am not sure about a green tee-shirt... better be safe than sorry don't wear any shirt at all.
Other things that can get you into trouble (translation "killed") here.- is pointing with your feet, touching someones head, joking about people in high places.
More advise is: don't rent a jet ski or in fact any other type of vehicle, don't travel on any train (unless you want a
neardeath experience).I have more pointers of advise that I could give you but I don't want to crash the forum server with such a large post.
BTW. Have a great holiday, oh you might be wondering why I am here, the answer is.... sex. but if that's what your wanting, here is some advice... oh there I go again, sorry, cant keep my big mouth shut can I"

So that's a clear message to all companies. Do not do any business with people you suspect of being a red shirt or RS supporter.

"Italian involved in ATM card snatch and run attempt in Phuket"
Headline is wrong!
Should be:
Italian victim in ATM card snatch and run attempt in Phuket"Involvement infers he is involved in crime"

"Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's whereabouts were unknown yesterday although her secretary said that she was still in Thailand, discounting earlier rumours that she had left the country."
Undoubtedly she will be off to Paris, London then New York to do her Christmas shipping and partying with friends and family soon.
How nice for her.

For a minute there I thought I was going to read about Thailand's new space program, which would have caused me to fall on the floor in a hysterical fit of laughter. Good to hear he is going up elsewhere.
No doubt he will be taking a photo of The King with him, and that will be an incredibly proud moment for Thailand.
"and that will be an incredibly proud moment for Thailand."
and WHY would that be a proud moment, I don't understand your logic?

"the distance of over 100 kilometers while traveling in space"
Hardly space! (Not Space) Just a very high altitude.
Can we send Mr. Thaksin and shoot him off a bit further in a special boosted capsule of his own to say 600Km so he can experience REAL SPACE !!! he can fart out the back of the capsule to get himself back.
I don't like to correct my gf when she's speaking English. Am I the only one?

My Thai son was like that, but over the years he now speaks good English.
When I am in a good mood I don't correct the Thais, just let it go and usually ignore them, when they use pigeon English!
... But, when I am in a bad mood I get very irritated so the response to the "hungry!" word (or any other pigeon English) would get my response as such..
1) "yes Hungry, its in central Europe, what do you want to discuss regarding that wonderful country?"
2) "No I am not hungry, thank you for the offer to prepare something for me though"
3) "Impossible I just fed the dog it cant be hungry already"
After some very angry looks I will follow up with ... OH..., I see you are saying "you" are hungry, why did you not say "I am feeling quite hungry" or "Are you feeling hungry because I am" then I would have understood instantly!!!!
But if I am out with friends and they start to talk like 3 year old's with the Thais, it really irritates me, especially when the Thai person in question would understand "real" English far better.
I usually say to the friends "<deleted> are you trying to say? cant you speak English?, idiot, moron!!
Could this be why I don't have many friends ? !!!!
