In my land in Uthai Thani I have loads of fire ants. They have nests every where when we have water and they bite so painful. They build the nest in the leaves and one way we do to kill them is to cut of the branch and let it fall in water. Some time I put the three on fire to kill the ants but it’s difficult to make the leaves catch fire. I have not try any chemical yet but I guess its time soon.

Some English tourists have been attacked by 30 Thai men including some Thai soldiers. The mean were eating in a restaurant in Nakorn Sawan when according to some Thai witness the Englishmen Thai friend and the larger group had a fight. The Englishmen was then drawn into the fight.

The Englishmen was taken to the hospital but the mob of 30 people attacked them inside the hospital as well.
The Police and Military are investigating and have already arrested the military personal involved in the beating.

The Military government spokesmen said they he did not think this will make Thailand look worse since it was a single incident.
Sure we agree who could blame some Thai men having fun beating some up Tourists in Nakon Sawan, a Thai police dragging a tourist after a car in Kanchanaburi and a Thai girl kicking her boyfriend of the balcony in Pattaya.
