I'm really not surprised about that, because every Thai Lady who is in touch with falang, is having two FB accounts.

Tsunamis are a direct result of earthquakes. If you can't predict an earthquake, you can't predict a Tsunami. You can warn that a Tsunami may occur after an earthquake but that's not a prediction, it's a warning.

Imagine when the porn was not flashed by a Democrat but by a coalition MP. The sect of Chamlong would already be out on the street protesting against un-Buddhist behavior in parliament. I bet that the democrat MP was about to be exposed and therefore came out himself. The blame it on the hackers nonsense could not hold anymore. It is a shame the little fagot is now pointing his finger to a journalist. Grow up become a man not a porn watching Kathoey and tell the world that it was you not a wrongly tagged picture. If it was a tag, it means you did not do your homework and did not review your presentation. This is an example of a man who would never have made it past the concierge's office if his papa was not an MP also. If corruption did not exist in Thailand these people would not stand a chance. The MP could however refer to another shining example the former Democrat chairman Sanan, who was accused of rapiong a journalist. maybe the picture was destined for Sanan than?.

Where is Bucholz and his entourage to the lead the screams of shock? The man was inappropriately using his cell phone and admits to it because he was caught. When the PM's image was shown of her looking at her phone, Bucholz and his entourage  demanded action.  Well, where is that gang now? Why so silent.

Am I to take it that they agree with this  Democrat party MP and his taste for pornographic  pictures?  I am not surprised.

Dem MP - i page - final post "Storm in a teacup"

PTP MP 256 pages - final post a meandering, disjointed ramble including the words hitler, mugabe, tablet purchase, clone, dictatorship, mass murderer, he can come home anytime he likes, 500 baht, eternal friend and wacky races,

A clueless son of a powerful father who knows nothing about the dangers or consequences of the web. But his parents will do anything from erasing his faults, and blame it on the influences of society instead of their own.

These so called leaders have no manners on business ethics, nor so they care what their kids are doing which is why these things happen.

It should be clear that surfing through the Internet during business hours exposes the individual to a lot of dangers like those accidents.

How can an "innocent, naive son" of a high status politician ever be at fault, so it will be blamed on the website creators or society instead as usual and the hunt for crackdown of those vulgar websites shall continue harder thanever.

Thanks for cutting into the discussion late; but the point I made was, that *1 hour after the earth quake and still no tsunami warning*, there is no need to worry any more.

And it bothers me, when people who must know better, especially when they have prior experience of a tsunami, still react like chicken where the head is cut off. I can understand this with under-informed tourists, who cannot know better, and take the locals as an example of behavior.

A wave from Indonesia takes literally hours. Time to go home without panic, fire up the computer and get the *right* info, pack a few thinks like a blanket, rain jacket, and a few things to eat (maybe not *just* enough for yourself), then orderly proceed to the best-suited mountain/high rise/etc. In case of being a tourist, if you have the time and can, get your passport and some money, because in case of a real problem you will need it. You do not need to get to the mountain top or the mountain does no need to be hundreds of meters high, even a 10 meter wave does not go over the mountain top of Patong, anything with a steep incline so that you can get higher at need is good enough...

The scenario that you are advocating is (I have seen it on April 11): race your neighbor 4 cars deep on a tiny road to some mountain on the other side of the city, to hell with driving rules accidents and scratches, park your car in the middle of the road so that nobody can pass wherever you like because it is an emergency anyway, get out and sit there for hours, later complain that you had nothing to drink in the heat, got wet in the rain and nobody told you that there was no/will be no tsunami and let you sit there half of the night in the dark. Flee Phuket the next day even though there is an even tinier chance that an aftershock could create a tsunami because you feel like being a drama queen and you excitement was not bit enough yet and then complain, totally surprised, that travel insurance will pay you absolutely nothing because nothing actually happened.

As I said, I have experienced this and more just this April 11 -- which was a non-event -- and surely not comparable to 2004.

This is damaging for tourism for no good reason. If there *really* would be a tsunami, by all means, get away from it. But if you actually felt the quake itself, you *do know* that you have hours to do so instead of seconds.

You think/rationalize too much. Do you really believe that so many people mistook a sonic boom for an actual earthquake?

Frankly, not much need to be more polite; because *I am* one of those who were here in 2004 and me and my business suffered for a long time for it. I was on the beach on 11. April.

In one thing you are right: what is needed is people who inform themselves, instead of acting without information. The information has been and is available, and today even seconds after the felt earthquake, it was 99% sure there would be no tsunami. 30 minutes later, one could be really sure.

People still worrying now do simply overreact. You will burn yourself out this way; besides the totally negative impact on the feelings of tourists who have not been here, do not know better, and still see the locals/expats heading for the mountains 2 1/2 hours before a tsunami can even be here.

all these farlangs thinking they know better, it is for the thai people to decide the outcome of there own country, not just a hand full of farlangs that know nothing.

"Mass rallies by Thaksin's supporters in the Thai capital in 2010 descended into the kingdom's worst political violence in decades, with more than 90 people -- mostly civilians -- killed in a military crackdown"

A frequent ploy by the media, is to ostensibly give a "quick backgrounder" exemplified by above quote, which in fact is always a 'quick bit of historical revision"...............The attempt to separate R'song from its intention, aim and determination to challenge the coup perps and their electoral minority 'power-grab',  was the mission. This fact is never mentioned. What caused the worst political violence in decades, was when the coupists resorted to an armed defence of their coup d'etat................ The above statement misinforms through ommission,  a person for whom such a 'quick backgrounder' is necessary............In addition, the 90 people killed were not generically 'civilians'. They were those who stood up to the coup supporters, protectors and 'crackdowners'.......Just a "quick backgrounder"

".............perhaps more than tens of thousands" of Thaksin supporters.........."

When the inevitable discussion arises next week, as to how many attended the rally in Cambodia, there will be those who wish to estimate diminished numbers and vice-versa....I suppose one accurate way would be to count busses, assuming they will be parked in a common area. Just multiply them times the average number usually on a bus, and voila, one has numbers that may be accurate, as opposed to being inconvenient for some.

"This marks a fall of five places as the Kingdom received deteriorating scores for political risk after the election of Yingluck Shinawatra as prime minister last July"

Quickly slip in some agenda here. Maybe no-one will notice.....why not!

Never mind that the 15 variable risks have no correlation to political risk and Ms. Y......... Would the coup installed electoral minority Govt. of Mr. Abhisit - the unelected chosen one - have done better........... Considering the slippery political slope he was on, I somehow don't think so. I would suggest that the electoral 'righting of the good ship politics in Thailand" probably prevented a slide greater than this one of five places. At least the political instability problem has been fixed.

PLEASE, PLEASE NKM - don't respond! Bear in mind HKP has in this post pointed out that there are a few problems, but his point is that he would prefer no-one mention them.

Also bear in mind HKP's promise not to post again if you don't respond!

Maybe for the OP it's when his regular massage lady finally has had it with his flatulence, and says something? Sort of like those of us who have to be tortured by written flatulence.
