Why the complaint about it not being broke down by race? Muslim is not a race. The percentage of women in Thailand who are not Thai or Thai/Chinese is so low it wouldn't have any statistical bearing.
But forgetting all that, it is a complete BS Online Survey by a freaking condom company looking to sell condoms.
Yep. And not to mention that 4.6% of Thais are Muslim, so half of that is Thai Muslim women. Hardly representative.
So it's three fifths of nothing talking about nothing.

"they couldn't yet confirm if the person died from a gunshot or the victim's sex"
I think "nor the victim's sex" may have worked better.

Sad, but a routine business in that part of the world. I lived not far from Baan Phai from 2001 to 2011. Sorry to say it, but it really is savage up there in parts and I do feel for all the nice normal people (including Thais) stuck in that situation.
To all of you blokes thinking of marrying and moving to Issan, really, just stop and think. Upcountry is not very safe.
My Isaan wife says, "Do they know that sometimes Farang husbands treat their wives very badly? Still going to bars and seeing other ladies. I don't like this Thai Visa, why do they all hate Thailand? There are good and bad people everywhere."
I know a load of people who have lived there for many years, most happy, some not. The odd disaster but hardly routine. Large age gaps (I'm 19 years my wife's senior) and cultural differences mean these relationships can tend to start behind the 8 ball as expectations are so different. Some blokes come here and expect their much younger Thai wife to behave exactly the same as the spouse they bailed out on in the west, except be much prettier of course.
And before anyones asks, only married 3 years, so I supposedly still have the rose coloured glasses on. But I've lived in a 3rd world country for 20 years (PNG) and have seen many, many large age gap, cross cultural relationships. They aren't all bad and the overwhelming majority of blokes married to Thais are in good, mutually loving relationships.
I'm not for one second condoning or making excuses for the alleged murder in the OP, just going against the trend of this thread in that it is the rare exception, hardly the rule.
Casting general aspersions on Isaan people or Thais in general (though popular on TV) just isn't fair.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, but we are missing something here. Was it night time? If it was day time then surely there would have been witnesses to a horrific scene which would have taken some time.
I don't get it.

People drink insect repellent and munched up mozzie coils?
By God, what a sheltered existence I've been living. I suppose the question then is did these ladies know what they were drinking?

Statistics show that 100% of divorces started with marriage.

The report stated that the divorce among Thai couples was caused by current economic and social factors.
In times of such uncertainties, rent - don't buy.
The old, "If it flies, f^cks or floats" line. Very true.

Is divorce such a bad thing? Should a marriage last a lifetime?
Divorce is a terrible thing! I believe in marriage as a pact of love and stability between 2 people that lasts a lifetime. I also believe in monogamy and trust.
I believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny.

The Dr. is right. The arguments used don't make too much sense, but the point about investing in rural hospitals first, before promoting foreign travel for medical services, makes a lot of sense.
Totally agree. The private hospitals should be self funding. In fact they should contribute some part of their profits to the public health system.

I find it hard to understand that people are rubbishing him. I know he's a pollie and shouldn't be telling the truth.
All of my wife's single friends and cousins etc always say, "Can you find me a Farang husband like yours".

A survey from a condom maker? Hardly a credible sample.
Another slow news day it seems.

Spoke to the missus several times yesterday, in Ban Dung, UTH Prov, no problems. Maybe we missed the outage.

I was going to write a satirical response and see who jumped on it, but Huayrat beat me to it.
Or did he?

They are Muslim countries. There are no Thai sex trade in those countries, as it is against the law.
Ok then. Thanks for clarifying that.
Nothing to talk about here folks. It isn't actually happening!

Win or lose, you never act like that after the results are announced
Very poor loser
Not sure what is worse for Thai image
1- This boxer and his crying and actions on TV
2- Or some lady saying she is going to buy a fake rolex
Did you watch it? This wasn't a sore loser, it was outrage at being robbed. When the Chinese boxer's hand was raised the crowd erupted in boos.
Boxing refereeing is always dodgy but this was ridiculous. The British commentators couldn't believe it either.

Mr. Jonis Mamood, 18, from Sweden. He was sitting in the room with his girlfriend, Ms. Jeeranan Tathong, age 18.
The Swede and his girlfriend
Khaosod newspaper (article in Thai)
Pictures are worth a thousand words. This just makes the story more tragic. Good Lord...
She's 18? Missus doesn't think so either.

Well let me add this to the list of reasons I cancelled my FarceBook account, sad story that happened over Silly facebook
How did you cancel it, I would like to but found I can not, tried but the <deleted> emails, and pages keep coming up on my computer. Seems like once signed up on Facebook you in forever.
If you can enlighten me, and maybe others on how to totally delete your account in it please explain here.
Thanks-
Facebook itself has detailed instructions on how to opt out. They are also very cooperative if you are being harrassed.

A good point. In America we even have the Government supplying weapons to the Mexican drug cartels, who have used them to kill American agents! See'Operation fast and furious' It always makes me chuckle when i see posters on here slagging off Thailand for this sort of thing, some of them probably American nationals, who cannot see the irony. But then Americans don't get irony!Thailand: Transit hub for illegal products and human smuggling to Australia.
How Australia restrains itself with Thailand is laudable. Other countries would have reacted with trade sanctions,and additional self defense measures when faced with years of such activities.
If the US, UK, Australia or any EU country is not able to stop the import, export or transit of illegal drugs, why do you expect Thailand to be the exception?
If Australian drug addicts didn't want the drugs they wouldn't be sending them. There's no chicken and egg dilemma here.
Demand leads to supply.

Drug hub, Health hub, Sex hub. Tourist hub. Hub hub hub.
I'm hubbed out.

What is it with the hub thing?

most plausible is...
she was buried somewhere, then taken out...
the few remaining body parts where washed a few times and then put into some sort of "acid", to remove insects and dirt...
finally, the box was placed at doskets house... how convenient...
and - as the victims gun and 58 bullets were found next to that box in doksets basement bathroom - we can assume, that she was shot to death with her own weapon...
and - as the victims family found blood stains in her car (and these were so much and many, that they assumed from then, she had been murdered), lets assume, the victim was transported in her own car to her initial burial/hiding place...
And that's your most plausible likelyhood?
Your least likelyhood must be a real flight of fancy.
