  1. Until arrests AND convictions are made of police officers involved in this disgusting trade or protecting human traffickers, it should not be taken seriously and Thailand should remain a bottom tier and severe sanctions imposed. Foreigners are not stupid. They can't fool us. We build iPhones, land people on the moon and created every modern technology used in the world today. We will not be fooled by sham reforms. Real reforms and punishments of the people, companies and institutions involved in human trafficking, otherwise all these efforts can't be taken seriously.

  2. Dear General/PM, I have 42 years Airline/Aircraft Maintenance Experience and have associates with Flight Operation and Regulatory Compliance and are able to help with this crisis.

    Let me know !!

    If you are not Thai your contribution is not wanted. Thai pride is taking the nation to the bottom of the ASEAN barrel. In 20 years Thais will be working as gardeners and factory workers in Myanmar and Philippines. That's Thailand is heading. The country needs help, but refuses on all fronts.

  3. I'm just waiting for someone to say " America - Budweiser " lol

    Well you beat me to it. You should have waited. My answer:

    The US, of course. Budweiser is the number one selling beer in the world. That makes it the best by US standards. Nobody can dispute it.

    I did go through a period of drinking it once just like carling, fosters, Heineken, Stella etc but there are some great beers out there and I'm still on the quest to find the best of the best
    Jarl....or Oakham Citra. :D

    Just brought back some Oakham beers from Hong Kong. Fantastic!!!

    Best beer is found in UK and US, but there are some amazing craft beers

    Being brewed in Japan and Norway as well.

  4. A new Thai constitution being drafted by the ruling junta is a throwback to an era when a royalist and military elite had a stranglehold on politics, analysts and politicians say, warning of dire consequences for democracy.

    To all the junta lovers/ anti election posters here, please read the above twice and reconsider your support to the Thai elite!!

    Your are supporting people and a system belonging in a long gone century!!

    And cut your "but Yingluck" BS.

    They are probably married into the Bangkok elite, and would love to welcome a new "golden" era...

  5. Very good! These are heinous crimes and the perpetrators should be put to death. The new government is fulfilling step one, which is legislation. Will they deliver on step two, which is prosecution? If the influential Thais involved in human trafficking are caught and given harsh sentences, then I will believe.

  6. I am assuming in this case the photographer is supposedly living and working in Phuket and didn't just come over with the wedding party.

    Can anyone tell me what the situation is for freelance photographers, lets say you do travel photography and you want to do a piece on Phuket for a magazine. You are not a Thai national. Can you come over for the assignment and do you get a work permit?

    I am a professional photographer specializing in aerial photography and I have a work permit for it, the Chinese tend to bring their own photographers with them from China.

    My problem is with photographers living here on tourist visas and working without a work permit, it is seriously affecting my business.

    ...and you are fluent in Chinese and understand the way the chinese like their photos?

  7. I agree and he has the chance NOW. If he delivers results and makes Thailand a better place for ALL Thais, he will have the support of all Thais AND by western countries obsessed with democracy. If he chose to do like previous thai prime ministers and junta leaders, to serve only the Bangkok elite and military, and thus neglecting the rest of the Thai people, then he is in for a rough ride with pressure from within and outside.

    But let him have the chance now. Thailand didn't need more democracy, but an HONEST and CAPABLE man who has the military backing to force unpopular but necessary reforms and to confront members of the elite.

    So far the score is B-. Not bad, but he needs to step up the game. He has the chance of becoming a true Thai hero if he succeeds.
