    well, depending on how you view it, it either worked or it didn't!

    it was good luck they didn't get your Buddha, but bad luck they attacked you to get it

    It's an epidemic at the moment and will only get worse until the tourists come back in their droves. Over to you Mr. Aphisit.....

    That is just typical western liberalism to shift the blame from the assholes to the government to say it is the economy that is causing a certain group of people to decide to engage in thievery instead of working. There are plenty of jobs if they really wanted to work.

    Here’s some old video from China that shows such gangs in action.

    No its not, it is fact and based upon the circumstances of each individual.

    Pattaya was created to lure foreigners and whole families shifted there from up-country leaving nothing behind.

    Before all this almost comical political farce started there were jobs for most and or funds coming in to support families and some people's drug habits.

    People here have been laid off left right and centre, yes I agree that qualified graduates can easily find a job, but these basically rural people have been let down by the political parties who are jockeying for power and for their own selfish gain.

    Nice idea ! - does that kill the thief or just the ignition ?

    Many years ago I had ( in the UK) a Triumph Trophy bike
    Magneto ignition
    A switch in one of the Plug lines transferred the spark to the front brake lever - when I left the bike anywhere just flip the switch - try to kickstart the bugger then and you got a packet !!

    Your opinion. Which like every poster on here, counts for nothing.
    Here's my opinion then...for what it's worth

    Ned wears his heart on his sleeve.

    Superman wears his underwear outside his tights.
