    stereotype towards interracial marriage in Thailand

    By Anonymous, Created on: 26/11/2004, Last updated on: 01/01/2008

    » I am a Thai man born and grew up in Bangkok educated overseas totally disagree with the stereotype. On the contrary, I have always admired and respected those indigenous Thais women whose dark brown - tan skin blessed by the nature from their hard works shouldering gracefully to their parents’...

    • Anonymous commented : Is there one who has head here. If not one, the one submissive, well tamed and beaded, work more to a husband. Why do we have to find a western immitate here ?. In Rome, try on Pedro, not taking Thai lazy bomb over there.

    Solar Power

    By Anonymous, Created on: 29/03/2005, Last updated on: 31/03/2015

    » I dont understand why Thailand is not using the sun which is there 365 days/year. Can anybody tell me ? I am in the process of building a house but when it comes to solar energy i might have to import myself to only then be confronted with a high import tax on such products. And that while closing...

    • hawaiiman commented : People are so strange! they like to use power all odd hours of day or night. They want their beer cold whether the sun is out or not, if ManU is on at 1:00 am, they want to watch it, etc They talk about being eco friendly, and then put in a system that requires lead acid battery back-up. Sorry, I know most of these points have been covered. My point? Uhhh.....wait...Oh Yeah! LFTR technology! It was developed at Oak Ridge in USA in the late 50's and a working plant was in operation for 10 years. This technology is so safe and stable, they could just turn the thing off Friday evening and switch it back on Monday morning. It uses low pressure fuel, so no hydrogen or steam explosion like in Japan and no chance of meltdown like Chernobyl. It recycles it's own fuel, so instead of 5-7% utilization like current plants, it uses above 99%, so no long term waste. Fuel is Thoreum which is common in the earths crust, and doesn't require the whole centrifuge complication to purify it (chemical rather than isatopic purification). So why didn't we go with it? The powers at the time were into making nuclear bombs and it is no good for that, unlike the systems we see today. Why don't we change now? GE and other heavy hitters make a good chunk of change selling nuclear fuel. Who is smart enough to do it? Chine (yup) sent a team to Oak Ridge and copied the existing files from the previous reactor and research. They will have first plants online in less than 5 years. With wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, you have to put the plant where the source is, then power lines to where the users are. Line loss 10%. LFTR can be small plants near the users.' Nuff said

    • Anonymous commented : this has been mentioned before..and should be written in every tourist hand book.

    Nuclear Power for Thailand

    By Anonymous, Created on: 04/09/2007, Last updated on: 09/07/2014

    » The Prime Minister has explained the plan for a nuclear power plant to produce energy for Thailand and help Thailand move away from reliance on oil and gas. Thailand is a net importer of energy, getting much of its energy from the middle east at a huge cost to the country. Added to that the use of...

    • hawaiiman commented : The NGO's and others aren't to bear all the blame. The real damage was done by the big corp's, especially GE who wanted to build plants with fuel supply contracts folded in, and the wepons hawks who realized thorium tech wasn't good for making bombs. Long before there WAS a protest movement, the US was turned away from thorium in favor of the current technology. Thorium tech was already a proven technology, but the plug was pulled. If not for the corps and the military industrial complex, there would be no protest movement, or energy shortage, because we would all have had thorium plants for 50 years! The whole deal stinks.

    The Value of a Tourist.

    By Sean Moran, Created on: 18/01/2009, Last updated on: 15/12/2010

    » What are some of the most common positive and negative results of foreign tourists from overseas visiting Thailand? Thai opinions welcome, kap.

    • Sean Moran commented : [quote="propaganda":4l7wk43r][quote="stilljustbrowsing":4l7wk43r] As such take care of your larynix and ensure you know how to make a paper plane! [/quote:4l7wk43r] Toursts are most welcome in ???? (where all the Simians live) until all their money has been extracted, that is. It's a wonderworld where you won't be able to understand a single thing they say or write as they have developed along a different path, dimension and time zone. It is fascinating to watch them at work and play, they are like human beings in so many ways. David Attenborough would have a field day here. Darwin was looking for the "Missing Link", look no further. [/quote:4l7wk43r] So you see tourists as a zoological exercise. That's certainly an interesting outlook. In the SAS they call them "meat-bombs" but that's because they tend to leave the plane before it lands. Tourists might be better to associate themselves with some other form of imported produce than bombs, eh?

    Apathy reigns as Thailand continues to fail to embrace its potential

    Database, Don Sambandaraksa, Published on 06/01/2010

    » After so many years of writing, I have ended up with a 'why bother' attitude when it comes to the more controversial news which should matter. Anyone remember the not-very-smart ID cards that cost 888 million baht and which, to this day, are not fully utilised?

    » Never in Thai history has a story that didn't happen so dominate the news and clearly emerge as the Technology Story of the Year; just before the New Year, your TOT flipped a switch that started providing bandwidth of the third-generation kind in a couple of obscure corners of Bangkok, but in truth, 2009 was the year that Laos and Cambodia totally humiliated the telecoms state enterprises by leaving Thailand a far, distant last among Asian countries providing 3G service to yuppiephone subscribers.
