It's going to take Britain 7 years to build High Speed 2 and that is only 120 miles long. How long will it take Thailand to build a railway anything between four and seven times as long and what will the final cost be?
In a country where they can't even get the ordering right for a few School Tablets for kids how are we supposed to believe that the Thai's could manage such a huge undertaking considering the high tech required. We all know that the Chinese and the Jap's are clever but will they be able to convince Thai 'Engineers' that they know best?
I've said it before and I'll say it again....this won't happen in my lifetime.

but... but... last year they promised it (and several other transportation pipe dreams)
The sign reads:
Developing the new system of transportation – 10 Skytrain lines – 20 baht ticket for round trip
Double track rails to connect all directions in the system
The high speed rail project from Bangkok to Chiangmai-Korat-Huahin
the Airport Link to Chacherngsao-Chonburi-Pattaya
– Puea Thai Party

.
And yet, despite all your hatred for him, the fact is that the only Thai politician who has delivered a high speed train line to the Thai people is Thaksin : The ARL.
I'll try to remember that when I'm riding on Yingluck's leg of the (ARL) Airport Rail Link to Chonburi.

How much money was spent by the Abhisit government tracking down Thaksin whilst lying to the entire Thai public that an arrest warrant had been raised and interpol were were ready to arrest him. He sent two representatives to the UAE to discuss "extradition" and that is just one instance. Perhaps Abhisit was being clever and keeping the imbecile Kasit busy so that he couldn't do too much damage to Thai foreign relations.
By the way this "bought" government you and your peers are always going on about. Is the Election Commission aware of it? It seems not as apart from one or two instances I don't believe there have been red cards issued or parties being dissolved so I guess everything was OK.

Complaints complaints and more complaints......has anyone complained when Obama spoke English to Chinese, Japanese and Russian audiences.
Or when Japan PM, Russia President/PM, France President all gave their speech in their respective mothers' tongue....

For a proper analogy, you fail to recognize that Obama doesn't possess a Masters degree obtained in the native language from a Chinese, Japanese, OR Russian university.
Additionally, you also fail to recognize that the Japanese PM, Russian President, and French President don't possess a Masters degree obtained from an English-language university.
Yingluck has a obtained a Masters Degree conducted in the English language. For some zany reason, people logically conclude then that she should be able to speak English.

How many people got killed by the army? That is some red shirt claim but have you evidence for that?
I thought nobody knows who killed the people because there was a serious lack of plenty crime tape that couldn't be drapped allover the scene?

No one was able to put up crime tape to cordon of an area to investigate any deaths! There was too much shooting going on from both sides.
It's pointless trying to discuss anything with you.
Out of context? It is exactly the same topic, it is about the dead people.
Now you making claims that the army killed the people. Suddenly you seems to know more than the DSI. Please provide evidence for it or withdraw that statement.

you are wrong. that is the beginning of becoming a bigger storm.
is the day pigs will fly. One MP trying to make merit by jugglling the hot potatoe screwed the pooch, not much more here. Except the spin.
Ah yes, i forget. In this government nobody will tale responsibility for all the wrong doings.
And the TVF monkeys keep eyes, ears and mouth shut when it has nothing to do with the "beloved" Thaksin.

Police used a foreigner as a decoy customer who contacted the pimp and agreed to pay 2,000 baht for a child prostitute.
Somsanit was caught while taking a 15-year-old girl to the customer in Room 211.

I do note the improved policing standards in that that the farang police volunteers are apparently no longer consummating the sex act prior to effecting an arrest like they did before.

No, mods and admins can not read PM's. PM means Personal Messages.
Admins surely can.. They may choose not to, but anyone with access to the raw database can read PM's. and IPS admins would have that access.
#3701957 How Can I Stop Getting Ants In The House

Many people have posted about chalk, sprays, liquids etc...
The only thing that will last for any length of time is killing the queen.
And how do we do that? With poisonous ant "food" they bring back to the nest. It is then consumed by all ants in the nest, including the queen. Your ants will be gone within a few hours, and they will NOT be getting back anytime soon.
I use ARS ant killer. It comes in a small sealed bag and a plastic box with holes in it. Place it near the entry point (or alternatively along the path) of the ants, and they will go nuts over it.
I have cleared several ant infested houses and condos with this stuff.
It's relatively safe as it is not airborne nor liquid, and any residue will easily be vacuumed up once ants have taken their "leave"
If you are very nervous, simply keep you child away from home over an afternoon while the ants have their party and you should be fine.
It doesn't work with those BIG black or BIG red soldier ants though.
