I hope he has all of his affairs in order. Unlike my home country, where he would probably get slapped on the wrist or maybe spend a few days in jail, his dealing drugs days are over, as are the rest of any type of days except for the final day. I guess his love for money and /or arrogance in thinking he wouldn't get caught got the best of him and now over stupid drugs he gets to die. I feel very sad for his family.
Sorry, dalsobrook, I don't even feel sorry for his family who missed to bring him up as an responsible human-being... a child taught to be kind, doesn't steal, doesn't do harm to others, respect other people would not even dream about it to deal drugs
Would that be the same way your parents didn't bring you up to be compassionate?

Any chance we could just cut the Bollox ,and just enter into the world of realism ,and that it could be just a simple case that they love each other and have done so for quite some time ,long before the guy has "made it good" big time and just leave it at that

But back to Thailand, I think we all know that the educational system here is rather appalling. I've read several books by Thai and foreign authors that suggest education in this country (like many things: culture, the exploitation and distortion of Thai Buddhism, the complexities of the Thai writing 'system', etc) have been purposefully designed to keep the 'poor' class in their position at the expense of the elites. I've seen this argument laid out quite well with all types of historical support.
So, I'm not so sure what Thailand is 'on about'. (Is that a British expression or an Aussie one? I'm not good with those quaint expressions of English.) My predictions are that:
1) the elites are NOT going to make effort to change this culture. Why would they. They enjoy one of the largest wealth gaps in the world. And, why do you think the Thais have one of the highest Power Index values in the world?
2) the poor are systematically prevented from learning a.) why and b.) how to challenge the 'establishment'. They are prevented through the 'educational' system in Thailand. They are prevented through their indoctrination of nationalistic teachings. In other words, "direct any angst you may have about your life at the 'other'. The foreigner They are prevented by their shaping by perverted Thai Buddhism that teaches them that they belong wherever they are and that they shouldn't want for improvement.
3) So, the change will most certainly HAVE TO come from the Thai middle class. They have a choice to make. Certainly, there are not many of them, but their numbers are growing, and that could be marvelous thing for Thailand. Thus far, it seems rather apparent that the middle class (and by this I mean reasonably educated, probably at least some English speaking, more liberal and modern but perhaps not ultra wealthy Thais) lacks the courage and/or ability and/or desire to change things here -- and that is, of course, their choice if it is so.
So, all this talk about improving the education system here, to me, is rather pointless unless Thais are willing to actually look at the fundamentals that dictate largely why things are the way they are. Their educational system and the other systems of indoctrination (religion, " others ", nationalism) are in many ways (including those most probably intended) are wholly a masterpiece. What other nation can grip and stifle people's minds so well that they completely lack the desire or will to affect for themselves a better, more respectable, more comfortable existence? Thailand is unique in this regard.

Of course, the issues of education, particularly in America with its many immigrant students, is complex.

In Hong Kong it has been against the law for many, many decades to have mosquito-breeding areas on one's property. Any found by or reported to the police (for example, by neighbours) results in a substantial fine. Result: there are hardly any mosquitos. No chemical sprays, no damage to the environment, nothing. Brilliant!

Margaret Thatcher's views are once again being vindicated. She had it right all along, not that too many people want to admit that.
As UK voters flirt with doing a "Hollande" they should remember her warning and choose wisely.

I see kids wearing these Nazi symbols all the time in my Soi, I live near Ramkamheng university. They have no idea what they mean its just a rebellious statement that they think make them look tough but it can be quite upsetting for a lot of people. Any average western person seeing anyone with this type of logo would not piss on them if they were on fire.
As for this guy, any man who cannot resist inflicting harm on a woman, whatever the provocation is obviously a weak man and needs time to consider his actions, I think 20 years in a more remote older style thai prison should serve him well, The Bangkok Hilton is too good for him. .

I always find it amazing to hear the 'Girlfriend leeches cash' from the farang. Remember those who give the money to the girls/girlfriends etc do so voluntarily nobody forces them, yet its always the girls fault...
It takes two to tango yes, but it's wrong to exploit people.
Thus making her doing a "bad" thing switching between the German and the French guy.
If she had been a "good" girl, she would have either stayed with the German or left him period, for the French guy.
So summing up, she is not at fault for being stabbed, she is however at fault for being a butterfly.
Sorry I cant see the exploitation. She was with the German after a brief spell with the French guy, if he wasn't happy about that why continue giving the cash?
Farangs always consider they are being exploited but as I said earlier nobody twists their arm, the decision to give or not lies with them....A fool and his money is soon parted!!

The swastika is a sign of peace. He should be commended for wearing it. I thought everyone knew that?

I read this story in the Thai language' Daily News' yesterday and noted the absence of any mention that the victim was leaching large amounts of money from the offender. Almost makering her look like a stand up model citizen. Selective reporting I guess.
And that would be good reason to knife the girl 17 times, I guess. Even if it was written somewhere which I haven't found--us poor farangs are such victims here, eh?
Selective reporting indeed. Selective for the English language newspaper to include the details of monies given to the Thai GF. Hardly relevant to the murder. I guess that was included in the Pattaya News because the thought of a Thai GF ripping off farangs is what gets ex pats reading newspapers in Pattaya.
