I've no doubt this will become a trend! Next year we won't be counting deaths by wreckless and drunk driving, but the number of murders. Posted Image

It really is time to clamp down and control the revelling. Limit it to controlled areas, where those who want an official soaking go to meet.

One really does sick and tire of songkran after some lengthy time living here!

-mel.

You are free to leave of living here is no longer enjoyable for you. Some of us are happy to join in with the fun. And don't forget that these are isolated incidents. Millions have enjoyed themselves. You get deaths and major events in almost all countries. Just look at the UK and USA. There are plenty getting shot and knifed every day, not just during festivals. A few isolated incidents, even if really bad, is no reason to ban a popular festival. The solution is to stop the idiots, not spoil the fun for the law-abiding people. It is the idiots that are the problem, not Songkran. Idiots are everywhere. Some of you boring expats would ban almost every activity of you could. If you don't like it here, then just leave instead of constantly complaining.


I haven't posted in quite a while as to do so only infuriates the locals (who cares?) but since this this fellow doesn't have a clue what he is talking about I am forced to add my 2 cents.  Yes, there are idiots everywhere at all  festivals in all countries.  The difference between the West though and here is that the 'idiots' here are the standard not the exception.

For example, I don't go out during Songkran as I do not want the fun of being drenched by moat water full of bacteria.  Bu this year I had run out of water so I took off after dark to the local 7-11.  Now in front of the 7-11 there was a setup of punks dousing people who were entering the store to shop.  And contrary to what one misinformed individual stated all these morone do not leave you alone if you wave them off.

In the West, this would not be allowed to happen. The 7-11 management would not allow it.  Here it seems to be encouraged.  I have said it before many times.  When God gave out brains he had to back order them for Thailand.  And  last I heard the government put a huge import tax on them so no one has any yet.

ChangPuek Gate, south 1 block, turn left(east) at the new FC CMai football field. Go east 2-300 meters; Wetv is on the left, can't miss it.
Been a happy customer for over a year now. Apparently they have new programs (HD,) requiring a box?, at same price as normal subscription. Have not had time to go there yet to confirm. Cheers

Thanks.  I'll fiind it.  I wonder why the big boys don't have fox or aljazeera or usa football.

Just curious but how do you know which ones are honest and which ones are corrupt?  You know there is an old saying, "if there's smoke there is probably a fire somewhere."

Oh sh-- the massage parlor I am in now is on fire.  LOL

PS:  It ain't slander if it  is true.  

But you know instead of slandering poor Thailand (where oh where does it get such a bad rep?????  I think everyone should think of a funny story to tell and start a topic.  I'll even start the first one.  Now we all know policemen don't take bribes here because that would be illegal right.  So the other day I got caught with no helmut and would you believe it the cop refused to take my request to handle it so I had to go to the police station.  The fine is now 400 baht but I told the cop at the desk I was on my way to the dentist as I had just broken my tooth which was true.  So the cop says to me, "ok I give you a discount how about 200 baht?"  I said to him how about 100 baht and he said ok.  So all you guys slandering the poor Thai police I say leave them alone.  

If you work it right instead of bribing them just play let's make a deal.  LOL

I am not defending the pocile but I have to say that the usual bla bla bla police didn't get their cut is so blazay. Would it be a surprise to you that not all police in Thailand are corrupt? That some if not most have integrity and honor their jobs and their responsibilities. These guys got caught because 1. They are idiots and second the police were tipped off. I know there are many corrupt cops in Thailand but not all. Show some respect eh?
You all should be careful slandering the police force in this country, Generalizations could be seen as SlanderPosted Image

Seed, here is my point.  Whoever wrote this must be Thai because it makes no sense.  LOL

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you" - Joseph Heller.

He's not Thai but the you are not that well versed in anything any way.

I  assume you are in fact a Thai who teaches English!!!
