      News Forum - Yala police officer critically wounded in midnight ambush

      I am well known to have no love of the Royal Thai Police believing they are institutionally corrupt but I sincerely wish this officer a speedy recovery from his injuries and hope the perpetrators are caught and punished severely. No one should be a victim of violence for just trying to do their job!

      News Forum - Jomtien Beach’s Songkran splash sees a dip in tourists

      The public is being bullied and woman and girls are sexually abused in the name of Songkran. For sure every decent family will stay away from such hooligans. When they submit Songkran to be considered as an heritage festival to UNESCO, they failed to inclued this sexual abuse and violence as part of the current Songkran culture. If they had done it, then it would be perfect to reflect the exact current situation. No point in grumbling now. Let all the shop and business owners go after and whack those who are turning a peaceful and enjoyable Songkran into a chaotic and violent event. If one person is whacked by 100 people, then the charges are not severe. No point in waiting for law and enforcement to take its path. Sometimes such incidents need instant act to nip in the bud.

      Yep, that could be a problem. All my 'work' is done in the house here on my computer, which is why I can reply so quickly as I am writing software code for about eight hours a day I get a ping when a new email arrives, it is good to take a minute or two break.
