Facile and lazy report that does nothing to explain the reality of the political situation in Thailand. Unfortunately typical of the lack of real analysis, explanation or insight in both C4 and BBC reporting. I'm very disappointed I must say.
What on earth do Suthep's English skills have to do with anything?

Lou, you left us with not only all your music , you introduced me to many other artists/poets like Rimbaud and Baudelaire,Jim Carroll and Patti Smith and the New York Dolls plus a list of other artists that would take too long to list . A true cornerstone of serious modern music.
RIP .
Nicely put.

Try this for somewhere peaceful and out of the way;

My partners family had some beds made a couple of years ago but I'm sorry I can't remember how much it cost. I do remember it was cheap and although it took a few weeks the guys from the workshop were very honest and clearly hard working.

This is slightly convoluted but if you are on Facebook look up Sayai-Bay Penthouse (open profile) and in their photo album is info on a reclaimed teak workshop near Don Meuang. I can testify to the quality of the workmanship.

You won't find better than Sayai Bay. Not so cheap but definitely worth every penny.

Wow...E230 and a couple thousand baht to last out another month...another one of those quality tourists.
OMG I'm an utter tosser! If the amount of money in a person's pocket determines their quality in your eyes, nothing said on here will alter your childish view. I hope for your sake that you have your eyes opened in one way or another.

Peter Tatchell is definitely a hero of mine. I met him once off a train in Manchester in about 94 to take him to an event but I can't remember what the event was although I do remember he was promoting his book on safer sex at it. Great man who lives by his convictions.
How about Lily Savage? I used to go and see her at the Vauxhall Tavern in London in the early 90's, fantastic although Adrella was better.
"...lives by his convictions" ... Probably why he was a total failure as a politician - he wouldn't have fitted in at all.
How do you mean "failure" LeC? When he stood for Bermondsey in the 80s he was the focus of violent homophobic attacks including an orchestrated campaign by the Liberal Party's Simon Hughes. He wasn't elected.

Barbaric, sickening and medieval.

Can anyone tell me if the slick has reached mainland Rayong and if so where? I am currently in the UK and worried about it reaching Suan Son beach and beyond. My thoughts are with everyone affected.

Floater, the gay/paedophile comment is pathetic.

It is far more comfortable and sadly predictable for all of us involved in this scenario to maintain our familiar positions without considering or being open to what might be happening here.
It is clear to anyone familiar with the Catholic Church that the language, approach and above all gestures used by Francis are very significant. Not only that but if like me and IB you were brought up in the Church and like IB I retain a very song affection for it and it's people then is it not natural to desperately want to see the kind of change we all hope for in such a powerful institution. Personally I am optimistic but I will be watching how things unfold as I am not convinced the curia will give up that easily.
It is important to not be naive about Francis and the Church but it is equally important to recognise and nurture any possibility for dialogue and change rather than remaining in our familiar comfort zones no matter how justifiable they are and I speak as an lgbt activist since the days of section 28 and the Benetton protest in the UK.
Having said all that I've just finished my morning yoga and mediation here in the UK!

Hua Plee restaurant around the beginning of Lad Phrao rd - 16/74 soi Tong Lor (quite deep in the soi) is very atmospheric short of thai vintage and romantic. Its not easy to find though but definitely worth it.

Your friend should try and avoid Xanax or other Benzodiazepenes as much as possible as they are useful in extreme circumstances but addictive. If you can find a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist you should direct them there as it is the best evidenced means of managing the symptoms but they must be prepared to put the work in.
Mindfulness or meditation techniques are however probably more easily accessed in Thailand and are really excellent for changing our attitudes generally to a more calm and positive mind set. This is also well evidenced.

I loved the show whatever the outcome. Lots of humour and tongues in cheeks. I'd love to see Asian version..... my vote goes to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZbU4Cieg5k&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Here we go! Ma fave pour le hors d'houvre.

If you saw the semi final audience shots it was like a gay bar in there, so funny. Annamatronic of Scissor Sisters was one of the UK show presenters and was really entertaining/camp.
Malta's song is cute of weird, shame Montenegro didn't get through but I rather like the French entry. Ireland way too cheesy I'm afraid.
Can you imagine an Asian version? Or is there? !

Hi DW60, I had a look at the meditation centre FB page, it looks great and I hope it's a success. We have a place near Klaeng and have messaged the centre on FB and shared it. Hope to visit in Feb when we are next there. Best of luck.

I hope the 3 representatives of the LGBTI community on the panel are able to continue their advocacy for the community in Thailand and that they feel supported in what is surely a challenging role. Unhelpful and frankly bizarre suggestions such as the homosexuality test must continue to be challenged.
I'd be interested to know the composition of the panel from a party political perspective and how their views divide as such. It's also worth commenting what a well written article the OP is.

Lad Prao is a bit far away from Hua Hin to walk the dog!
You're right there but people have posted queries from all over including bkk about secure dog walking facilities.
-
It would be great if somebody had a block of land, fence it and then rent it out to dog walkers. If I had the connections I would do it. A dog park is something I would pay to use here, and I have a huge garden already.
I know of a block of land in Lad Prao, old school yard (school has recently closed). The owner is an in law of mine and is looking for a use for it but would want income. If there was sufficient take up for your idea what do you think people would regard as a reasonable fee or subscription assuming there would be enough demand locally?
The area is just over a Rai so not massive but big enough to throw a ball, has seats etc and is enclosed.

Well it wouldn't be an IOU in that case pal would it. How about a UOU or better still a MOU (maggie owes you) which would seem just. Put her down for the 10 million this is setting UK tax payers back for a start.Can I suggest a positive response from those of us feeling shame and anger over the spectacle unfolding in London today with the tory beatification of a woman who brought such a legacy of suffering and division would be to make a donation to support the Durham Miners Gala. Its an excellent site just to have read of in case you don't feel able to contribute.

I will send them an IOU on your behalf, how much shall I put you down for?
