  1. Freudian slip? The S and the N aren't even close on my keyboard.
  2. Hoping they do a proper autopsy "back home" to determine the exact cause of death. I wouldn't know the guy from Adam, but a tourist died in Thailand before his time. If (as posited in previous posts) he had just gotten off a long flight, it may have been a clot from a DVT. In any case, it would be good to know the exact cause, if only to prevent the same from happening to other tourists in Thailand.
  3. No further explanation needed! Touché... Pretty sad though, how many posters are less tolerant than a Texas redneck.
  4. My favorite weekend getaway in Jomtien catered to Russian and Eastern European families. I found them to be delightful. And I'm a redneck out of Texas. You must hang out in the wrong places to meet so many troll like oafs.
  5. It was happening for years before any of us got to Thailand, and will continue for years after they plant us 6' deep. If you want western values and customs, you're going to walk around Thailand angry a lot. "We allow it". Priceless. But go ahead and tilt at all the windmills you can stand.
  6. I'm sure they'd investigate themselves and find that they did nothing wrong. Except members of the opposition parties... who will simply be banned from running for office.
  7. The oligarchs are salivating at the prospect of buying on the dip. And buying up abandoned western assets in Russia for rubles on the dollar. Just one more massive transfer of wealth... It's the proletariat that will suffer.
  8. You ever wonder why the same vendors are set up in the same spot, day after day? And why the best spots don't go to the earliest arrival or the toughest vendor? If it was first come, first served, there would be blood in the streets fighting for the good spots each day. Bottom line, you were sitting in a spot that the vendor had paid for. Public road? Yup. Corrupt? Sure. But you're not in Kansas any more.
