They were waiting for the PM to come back from Peru. Apparently, he was expected at Chiang Mai airport, too. I would imagine fun and games ensuing at U-Tapao airport, seeing as how it is primarily a military base.... Oh wait...

Aren't there enough people chasing balloons in Pattaya?
Its obviously nice that they finally get to have their own Festival though, eh? Bless 'em. -

The video was featured on last night's BBC World News Service so the 'Good News' is getting around.
But take this as a warning - The behaviour featured in this news, and in the ongoing situation, is a result of Thais responding to a political mess of their own making 'Yellow Shirts' against 'Red Shirts'. I strongly suspect that the end of this mess will come when someone makes a call to Nationalism.
And nationalism risks Foreigners becoming the center of attention.
The mob has been let out of the box and are learning the can direct society which way they wish. Getting them back in the box is not going to be easy.
Any side involved in any conflict here usually makes a call to Nationalism, or wraps themselves in the flag to some degree. I don't think that this feudalistic (and getting progressively more juvenile) in-fighting will progress towards any attacks on foreigners. At least, I really do hope not.

The worst or the worst . not Blind but Lie for a living and device the People of thailand .

Thailand have no hope if such people is to rule
Eh? In the previous 70 years of "democratic rule" in Thailand, no-one has ever wrapped themselves in the flag and told lies, then?

Hua Hin, or somewhere like Banchang, (Rayong) sounds ideal for the lady in question.

I would probably be offended if someone named me as the "least offensive" poster on this board. Or at least be nervous about any ensuing bullying.

Depends on the returning PM - If he imposes a state of emergency then NO CONCERTS thai or farang will happen and there be a bloody mess at the airport. If on the other hand he steps down then Rock on!
I will have a update later tonight - As I'm supposed to be working on the show
I have tickets for this concerts already. Will the headliners even fly here, given the shenanigans at the airport? If the main bands aren't going, neither am I....
Please keep us updated if possible...? -
I don't eat meat or fish and primarily for moral reasons so I am often genuinely appalled at the brutal treatment of animals intended for food in this country. What I really can't understand is why most fish sellers at the market keep the live ones in an inch of water so the poor things are just slowly suffocating. Why can't they just add a foot of water so that the fish are at least covered and relatively comfortable before having to endure whatever other atrocities the seller has in store for them?
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" –Mohandas Gandhi.
The fish are kept in a barrel with just an inch of water covering them, so shooting them is easier?
Great quote from Ghandi there. Shame that a lot of India's animals are treated a lot better than most of it's actual people.

(If this thread topic is running on another forum that I havn't seen, please move or delete, mods.)
I booked tickets on-line already for the concert "Bangkok 100" at the weekend. I was hoping to see the main bands on the Sunday, (Manics and Ash). Given the wonderful happenings at the airport yesterday and today; would it be safe to assume that the headliners will avoid this place like the plague?
If anyone has a link or some info to keep up with developments on the Festival, please post them.
I'm getting nada from the official organizers, so far... -
Any bars with UBC True will be showing it. Its on the True "PPV" channel (#109), which screens most of the big international fight cards. Will be on about 10.00am (starting with the preliminary bouts or "undercard"), so just find yourself a venue with the UBC service. Happy Viewing.

Seems like both sides have an abundance of people with manufactured, and home-made weapons and a real intention and zest to injure others. It's about time this feudalistic anarchy was sorted out.
-
Shame that they don't seem to have anything better to do.

I used to drink with some motorcycle guys in different parts of Bangkok many years ago when I was a drunk.
They see these rich farang travelling all round the world with high-paying jobs and taking back girls to their apartments many nights yet try to get off with 10 baht with them for a ride. These are hard-working good guys generally, who work 7 days a week to get 5,000 of which half is often sent to their family up country.
They are poor but very proud and will beat someone up without an hesitation if they deserve it.
Often it's the expats lack of communication skills that is the problem.
Imagine if you were tax driver in London and some Oil Shiek flagged you down and tried to get it 1 quid cheaper than the meter , babbling away in Arabic - you'd think he were a real <deleted>, wouldn't you?
Nice perspective.
-
Fish / shellfish don't bother me; but the killing of mammals isn't something I enjoy watching. If you want to see how your meat gets to your plate, there are many images on the internet that might upset you. Production beef killing lines, for example.
Then there is the wanton slaughter of seals; dolphins; 'finning' of sharks; live skinning of fur animals, etc. - Nah, fish clubbing isn't a biggie, imo.
-
There are going to be a lot of lay-offs and job losses soon. GM in Rayong has stopped production already. A lot of the Oil & Gas and downstream process plant here is shut down here too right now.
Recession or not, large-scale unemployment will make big social problems here, especially without any comprehensive unemployment benefits, and lots of people up to their neck in credit debt.
-
Oh, come on.... "Hutus vs Tutsis"...? That was genocide / mass murder on a grand scale.
The "red shirts vs. yellow shirts" shenanigans in Bkk right now in more reminiscent of "Its A Knockout", tbh.
-
Lets play ball in the street shall we? Make you wonder if these kids parents care\understand about their safety?
Yup.. it can happens only in Thailand.... Fools
They must be Thai's disguised as Farangs.
This type of thread is like the classic conditioning of Pavlov's dog.....In this case, the op introduced negative/absurd thread to TV members while he/she sits back and watch as these fools chomping at the bit with even more pathetic comments.
Pavlov's dog was run over by a truck, driven by a drunken yaba addict. Thanks for chomping.

The problem on this forum seems to me , to be that the ardent supporters of even the most stupid things that SOME Thais do with their children , is okay because THIS IS THAILAND , <deleted> has nationality or country of origin have to do with the preservation of children ?
To actually proffess you agree with outright abuse of children , just shows me how deep your mental ability has become impaired , and some of the smart alec responses proove it . Be happy you have a life and a future , because many Thai children do not finish up that way due to abuse and neglect .
Yes , i am on a rant !!!!!!!!!!!! You inconsiderate bunch of wanabees , at least you could be wanabees about something not so degenerate .
After spending many happy years in Thailand , i am , at this moment , happy to be PISSED OFF IN CAMBODIA .
Take a chill pill, sweetheart.

To their credit, Thais feed their kids a reasonably healthy diet. The same cannot be said of some farang parents. They are stuffing their kids with macdonalds and coke foods , the children are obese by 10 , later grow up and get a heart attack by 40.
Been to any shopping mall in Thailand recently?
yes, and they are full of slim, attractive young Thai ladies.
Whats your point ?
Surely you don't think a few shopping malls represents the diet of the Thailand.
Macdonalds, fried food, fast food, coke burgers, high cholesterol high fat high sugar foods and childhood obesity is endemic in America and other western countries.
Only recently they have banned the sales of junkfoods in schools for health reasons.
If some of these perfect farang parents stopped stuffing their kids with junk food , we would see a sharp reduction in heart related deaths in 30 years time.
My point is that there are a lot more obese Thai kids around now than there used to be. And heart disease and cholesterol-related illness in Thailand are quite high also.

Put General in a pink lycra leotard.

From behind , it looked as if she had one child , aged 4 riding behind her as she operated the motorcycle with one hand, dialing a cell phone with the other, cars whizzing by at 70 - 100 kilometers ann hour on the major artery through Puket . Passing her, she's got one, no- two more in front of her- a 3 yo toddler clutching an even younger child barely able to hold himself upright .
Amazing.
I know, I know...Thai Apologists - economics.... No excuse !! I've seen poor people all over the world, only here do they subject children to dangers as nonchalantly as this woman was..
Like this you mean ? 8 people on that bike, including the baby the rearmost woman is carrying .
Nice photo. Looks like some sort of Guinness World Record attempt.
Please keep us updated if possible...?
Farangs In Red And Yellow Shirts
in General Topics
Posted
I occasionally wear a yellow shirt and stage a mock fight with a red-shirted mate of mine. It usually draws a huge crowd, and we can normally escape after a huge melee ensues.
Try this at home.
