News Forum - Thai airports soar in Skytrax rankings: Suvarnabhumi leaps to 58th
Compared to Changi, most airports are ghettos. On one occasion they managed to get me and my bags onto a flight with a 90 minute connection time even though my flight arrived over an hour late, Suvarnabhumi is not too bad if you travelling premium class and can use the lounges and fast track immigration, but even then it is way too much of a long haul through the "duty free shopping opportunities".- 1

News Forum - Silencing the Voice: Pro-Thaksin outlet shuts down, sending shockwaves
I'm not sure why this is a "bombshell announcement" or why anyone is "shocked". I read this last night in the Bangkok Post and it seems that they turned in their broadcast license some time ago and were just relying on "satellite" and internet broadcasts for the publishing of their stories. Combine that with the fact that their political savior (and soon to be joined by his sister) is nearly fully "rehabilitated" in Thai political circles and there really isn't much more reason for them to continue. -

News Forum - Pattalung man faces arrest for molesting two girls
"The girls’ mothers, aged 34 and 32, reported the crime to local authorities but saw no progress for months, which led them to seek help from the media instead." The wheels of injustice turn slowly in The Land of Smiles. Too often, it appears the BiB don't consider the abuse of females, regardless of age, worth spending a lot of effort in investigation. This is just another case, in point. -

News Forum - Thai airports soar in Skytrax rankings: Suvarnabhumi leaps to 58th
58th in airport rankings really isn't much to shout about, to be honest. I've never minded BKK, though the walks can be long, they are the same in most major airports these days. It was always refreshing coming home after a bout in the desert of the Middle East but I've never been a big fan of the dining or refreshment establishments. For an international airport they are kind of cheesy. -

Thaiger Talk Quiz #251 - Heat in Thailand
You beat me on score. All i can remember on very high temperatures in Thailand is my first visit, when I did the trekking thing from Chiang Mai, drank vast amounts of water and still didn't take a piss for three days. Hottest place I have ever been was Lake Turkana in the far north of Kenya, where the temperatures can hit 50C, it felt like the air was being sucked out of your lungs.
