#5281656 Three Killed Falling From Thailand's Highest Building During Billboard In...

I used to work on radio towers in my youth, 1500 footers, but we always used to say you are just as dead from 100 ft as from 1000 so it doesn't really matter that it was the tallest building around. The lack of precautions during high work was one the first things that struck me when I first came here. It just seems to be a cultural thing, safety is not a high priority throughout the whole society. " up to them".

The cultural thing is called: Mai pen rai.

Let's not require any safety equipment. That would cost too much money and, anyway, workers are so cheap.

How many deaths will it take to make people understand that helmets, safety belts, decent shoes (boots), etc. can save lives. Does anybody care?

Yes people care but you forgot that when you are not on TV you are in a different culture and they have different beliefs than you do,

You are so sure of your beliefs because that was what you grew up with. As well as others around you having beliefs a little different than yours.

The same here in Thailand the big difference is no body around them has other beliefs and yours are as foreign to them as there's are to you. I am sure there will be people who morn for them. But will feel that death is inevitable and let it go in time.

My condolences to the people who cared for them.

Surely this can't be true, for only a few weeks ago Mr Chalerm assured us all there were no more gambling dens operating in Bangkok.

Before anyone believes his sales talk they should look at his failed track record. He as prime minister and accompanied by his wifes PC, sure managed to mess up the UK.

That makes all the difference then, a FORMER British PM is confident, so I guess all will be OK.  Former political leaders hang around like a bad smell, the self serving, self indulgent wanke_rs they are.

I'm much of your opinion, Diamond.  Why on earth does anyone pay this unscrupulous, perma-tanned clown to advise them on anything?
You might as well ask the average foreign tourist what he thinks about Thailand.  At least you'd get a genuine opinion without spin and self-serving nonsense.  A lot cheaper, too.

I also would not be keen on buying into anything that Blair is confident about. His track record is of destroying everything that isn't his personal bank balance.

Whay makes Blair think he is in a position to advise anybody, he and his cronies destroyed the British economy!


#3848904 All Revealing Tales Of The Rich And Unhappy Thais

Posted givenall on 2010-08-30 09:48:43

"not all members are rich, but they attend all meetings even when there is no such thing as a meeting allowance"


They don’t even want to make their life better unless sometimes they get allowance to attend the meeting. Is everything about money in this country?




#3839758 After Upheaval, Not All Is Well With Thai Youth

Posted Katmanpu on 2010-08-26 09:34:46

This is not a simple topic to chime in on.  Let me suggest that respondents on this thread should consider the reality in their home or native countries before commenting on Thai society.  

This is a problem being faced worldwide in all countries owing to many factors, including the rapid rise of technology, unprecedented mass media and internet access and consumer goods availabilty.  

It strains the fabric of both traditional and western societies.
