Protest all they want - just don't BURN DOWN ANY DAMNED BUILDINGS

I don't think it is a protest. Rather it is a memorial event for those killed in the Bangkok protests.

"Memorialize" all they want - just don't BURN DOWN ANY DAMNED BUILDINGS

I was saying this all along, where else can rent a jet-ski and a trannie in the same afternoon! Role model for the world!


#5265450 In Thailand, Killings Of Lesbians Go Unpunished

Tom’ is a specifically Thai gender identity where lesbian women dress, act and speak in a masculine fashion

Surely "Tom" is just a common Thai abbreviation of the term "Tomboy" used widely to describe females that act or dress in a masculine manner. In my experience just because a Thai girl is labelled a "Tom" doesn't indicate that she's actually a practicing lesbian.


My wife's niece is a classic Tomboy, boys clothes, boys hairdo etc even to the extent of having feminine "girl friends". They're not actually indulging in a lesbian relationship, they are just teenagers having a bit of fun. Thais seem generally to be very accepting of this and similar deviations from the accepted "norm".

While I have the greatest sympathies with the victims and their families, I feel this article is just sensationalist BS starting with the OTT headline. In my experience the Thai BiB have a reluctance to investigate anything properly without financial motivation and don't limit their incompetence exclusively to lesbian murder cases as this article suggests....

Not only the Tsunami is dangerous. Sitting in front of the TV eating fried chicken is dangerous for your health too.

I disagree... I have kids and would definitely take the kids if there was a Disney theme park in Thailand
A REAL Disney park with Disney oversight and standards yes, not a Thai copy...

If they want to help ease traffic matters they should reduce the number of taxis. There are an extimated 70,000 taxis in a city that only requires about half that number. Another thing would be for the taxi driver to accept all fares who flag them. I am fed up with the crap of taxi drivers telling me they do not or will not go where I want to go. Failure to accept a fare should result in hack licenxse revocation. Now, why won't this ever happen? The taxi mafia.

Let them go blow smoke up someone else's ass.

Seconded.  What kind of crap taxi service refuses a fare?  Have never seen this in any other country ever, it's ridiculous.

And on February 10, two dumb women lodged complaints at Lat Phrao Police saying that he raped and robbed them.

possibly could have been worded better.

Unfortunately, the english skills of the writer are circa 1952. I believe "dumb" was used in respect to a hearing impaired person classified as profoundly deaf,  unable to speak in a manner others can understand. Very sad that the term was used, as the inability to hear and speak does not equate with "dumb" as used today.

At one time the term "dumb" was used in reference to a bell that had no clapper and was unable to ring. Thus, a silent bell was referred to as a "dumbell". Somehow it started being used to refer to people who were unable to speak and considered to be "silent". Until recently (during the last century) it was never used to refer to ones intelligence level. However, it's use to refer to humans has been seen as politically incorrect for the past few decades.

And who said Thai Visa wasn't educational?
