  1. I disagree with the death penalty.  Just like war, it gives the impression, the righteous justification, that killing human beings is OK.  It is not.  Buddha said so, Jesus said so, and many other great spiritual world leaders.  I think Thai people need to ask themselves, considering it is a "buddhist" country, why life is regarded to be so insignificant in their culture.  Looking at the amount of murders, people killed on the road, deadly accident and the list goes on, why it is just so normal in their culture.  It sure isn't in mine, Canada, and we also do not have the death penalty.  Then you have the way Thai people kill every animal roaming free, including their neighbor's dog sometimes, shows clearly how in a bad state Thailand is theses days regarding the value of all life.
    The justice system is known everywhere to be potentially corrupt, often makes judicial mistakes and even have cases of people being framed by the government.  Many innocent people have been in jail, some on death row.
    And for the people who actually have killed someone, the penalty should equal the circumstances.  But ultimately, everyone should have the opportunity for redemption, pay their debt to society, fix their karma before they die.  There will be plenty of reckoning after they die!

    Buddha said that thinking of, or agreeing to bad actions, like killing human, stealing, greed and anger for example, is equally as bad as actually doing it for your soul.  So for the people who agrees in the death penalty, you have work to do...

  2. 1,800 Baht in cash. 50 grams of weed. This guy is clearly some kind of dangerous drug lord/ evil gangster. Lock him up and throw away the key!!!

    Well done Phuket police! The streets are now safe again...

    You need to be careful what you say, I don't think Thai people understand sarcasm...

  3. You don't need to be an "expert" to know that. There are plenty of evidence and research the ocean is rising. What really gets interesting is the predictions are usually wrong. It always turns out later the prediction are revised to be sooner than later scenario. In other words, 30 years could very well be 15 years. Look at the ice cover of the arctic this spring, it's almost 20% less than last year at this time and some of the ice left is very thin already. Bangkok, you are doomed...

  4. >>Those who tested positive were advised to seek drug rehab treatment.

    I'm sure they'll just head straight on over to rehab seeing as the punishment is so harsh.

    And what would you do?

    Do the USA style of justice and throw these people in jail? You seem to forget that unlike the USA, jails here in Thailand are not a businesses looking to make a profit. 2 MILLIONS American in jail right now, more than half on minor drug charges...

    Putting drug users in jail helps nothing, solves nothing which is the typical US political strategy... If anything, it makes things worse.

    I very much like the approach of offering help to the addicts.

    BUT PLAY HARD BALL ON THE HARD DRUGS SALE AND PRODUCTION!!! PLAY VERY HARD THAILAND!!!

  5. Proves the point that some people should just not drink!....Have an ex brother in law that went on a drunk one night.....Stumbled his way, found the kitchen and ate 1/4 gallon of ice cream from the freezer....That's when the homeowner informed him that his house was one block over. Spent the next few days in county jail.

    One day that home owner may be a victim of a hit and run, lying in the gutter needing urgent medical assistance. God help them if the only guy around the neighborhood is the guy around the corner they got banged up. Where i come from he would have been ass kicked off the premises but if it was clear he had been drinking and i knew him and i also knew he was not purposely robbing the place i don't think i would have seen him in jail for a few days. Just hope he didn't lose his job also.

    I sure hope he did loose his job.
