This should be done to Americans on Spring Break in Florida
The Morals of Americans are terrible and they need God
Spring Break and Songkran are completely different things.

spoke too soon, it's now drizzling in Bangkok.

I don't understand why we need to know the barometric pressure in India, Indonesia, Borneo, and China.
Why can't we get better resolution for just Thailand. This barometric reading is so 30 years old.... my digital thermometer at home gives me more useful information.
And it's telling me no rain in Bangkok in the forecast.

Thai's lack discipline. It will take a national disaster for them to finally realize that they lack discipline.
The sad thing is, rarely have I seen a Thai adult teaching discipline. It is not rewarded or praised here.

I flew Thai several times, economy seating, and their crew service was very good. I was also very fortunate enough to be bumped up to first class and the service was the same through and through, very good.
I have been a flying passenger for 37 years and I know bad service. I do not recall experiencing bad service on Thai.

Anyone know of a Yamaha dealer that is willing to buy a used scooter as part of the purchase for a new one? I've been eyeing the this new Grand Filano and want one, but don't want to hassle with selling the old scooter.

Got my delivery today, but they didn't have what I wanted (Fresh Linen Scent) and instead delivered (Outdoor Fresh Scent)..... hmm. Will have to wait and see.
BTW: I ordered my items online and paid via credit card, the receipt was all in Thai,... the receipt did say that it the item I ordered was not available and replaced it with the next available item.
Somewhat disappointed that the online system did not have a live tracking system of their inventory.

To mikebell, yes those are for use in drying machines.... I used to line/air dry my laundry... but with my limited space I decided to use the "common" dryer. Long story short, I've very very picky with the smell/scent of softeners. I have yet to find one that is similar to Bounce.
After searches and searches on google, google manages to spit back to me a link to Tesco Online.... I just ordered my batch and I'm hoping they will deliver it on time!

Anyone know where in Bangkok I can buy these Bounce fabric softener sheets?
I used to buy them at the Villa on Narathiwas, but they don't have them anymore.

License of a route has nothing to do with this particular air crash.
Ultimately, the air traffic controller has the authority to allow take off or re-route landing of aircrafts. In this case, the tower gave permission to take off, so it's not the pilots fault. The pilot does not negotiate license routes, this is done by senior management.
Once in the air, the pilot has FULL authoritiy of the plane, requests can be made to the air traffic controller, but it's still the pilot that has full authority once in the air.
I have a feeling that the Indonesian transport ministrary is just trying to deflect the criticisms from their last Malaysian Air snaffu.

ATM's work 24/7 by multiple banks.
You can pretty much do everything online now, from transferring funds to 3rd party financial institutions either domestic or international. You can also pay bills online 24/7.
What banking services do you require that demands banks to stay open for no less than 3 or 4 consecutive days?
BTW, you can search online using any of your favorite search engines for "2015 Thailand Public Holidays BOT". BOT stands for Bank of Thailand, as some holidays that are public may not affect financial institutions. I hope this information can help you plan your 2015 financial year.
FYI: The government at anytime can declare public holidays that affect financial institutions, in which case, you may go and direct your query to the government. I believe the current government has a hotline number to take on questions and complaints.

I don't understand why they don't filter live feed before showing them to relatives.

Perhaps if the airlines spent that much money upgrading locators, there wouldn't be anything in it for them. Would it save the loss of the plane? Reduce insurance premiums? Save fuel 555? Reduce the payouts to families?
What would they gain? They are bottom line oriented.
A new law couldn't cover every country, could it?
How do you get it done?
You're right -- aviation is a bottom line industry - as are most. Safety is a cost to be taken away from potential profits. The thing everyone misses is the cost of insurance. If insurance companies are making big payouts the premiums will rise. If <whatever> safety technology convinces the insurance companies that their payouts will be reduced, then it'll happen. SAR operations are sometimes charged to the victims - same as you pay for the ambulance on the streets here. In the light of the massive search operations now underway for 2 missing aircraft -- that would be an interesting equation,,,,,,
Pilots are urged to make the straightest possible route, minimizing fuel burn. It's a form of reducing costs and maximizing profits. Had they been given the correct incentives, this plane may have landed just a bit delayed.
All this talk about locators / trackers / etc do not prevent air crashes. Crash prevention is a combination of training and minimizing risks, unfortunately, financial profits is the bottom line.

I was hoping the plane made an emergency landing on some remote and forgotten airfield with the everyone just waiting to be rescued.
Until further undeniable evidence.... I think I will cling on to that hope.

Keep an eye on the US news on the 1.1 trillion spending bill, if the bill passes it will buy some time.
I read in the news the other day that the Thai government is also going to do some spending to "help" the economy.
Old news, but the Thai auto industry isn't doing so good. I don't trust the data that I'm seeing/reading but I think the Thai auto industry has been in the down trend for the past year or so.

What's up with the dark tinted windows... why even bother having windows!
Theres a sign states side "If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you !".. but .. heck.. both the truck driver and motorcycle driver probably have lifetime licenses... if any at all.

so i called True yesterday to tell them about my slow internet experience.... they told me it's because of the Typhoon in Hong Kong. Hong Kong phooey , I thought.
Hope they get this fixed asap.

I've seem many many kindergartens and nurseries. The first thing I spot is the adult to child ratio, if it's not satisfactory... then hell no for my child.
There are no regulatory standards and inspections in this country, therefore it's all up to the parents to use the thing between their ears to determine the welfare of their own children.
Want safer environments for children?..... first... regulate the automotive window tinting. No reason for vans to be so heavily tinted. Malaysia has a law and enforces it to the letter, if they can do it, surely Thailand can do it too.
Don't understand why?.... ask and i'll be more than happy to explain.

I like the move "Mr. Baseball" with Tom Selleck, "Gung Ho" Michael Keaton is another one of my favorites.

I bet to believe most will be trafficked, some will be "auctioned", "sold off",..... use what ever words you would like.
Thailand.... time to open your eyes and stop dreaming and start being responsible.

tragic.... shoddy building methods, no enforcement, wide-spread corruption.
you think this is going to be the last building collapse? Every time I walk into a building in Thailand, I always look around for the nearest exit or support pillars... sad but true.
"An informed source reported that the area was a wetland that had suffered from the 2011 flood, before being purchased for building construction." case closed.
