You get better bang for your buck if you jail them in Thailand,

A needless, senseless death. Why is it that when some people come to Thailand, they do stupid, crazy things they wouldn't even contemplate in their own or most other countries? Although he never meant to kill the poor woman, I can't feel any empathy for his situation. Some people are just plain stupid, and the world is a safer place with him off the streets.

Whilst these requirements make Cambodia an attractive option for retirees, surely it must also be a very attractive option for every undesirable looking for a safe haven outside their own country. I’m not sure it’s a sustainable model going forward and eventually it will impact on your expected lifestyle in that country. Be careful what you wish for. It won’t be long before you are surrounded by a massive influx of undesirables à la Phuket and a few other places in Thailand.

How dare he!!!

These tourism numbers are making me dizzy. They’re up and down like a honeymooner’s bum. Do any of these people know what they’re doing?

.....or at least a 500 baht fine and a compulsory, heartfelt, apologetic wai.

181 would be a drop in the ocean. It is a widespread pandemic within the monkhood. Thailand’s version of the Beagle Boys.

The monkhood is a dumping ground for shady characters evading the long arm of the law. This sort of behaviour is not uncommon but there are some good ones who are doing the right thing and living in accordance to the Buddha’s teachings.

Don’t underestimate this piece of slime. I see him as one of the most dangerous people in the world, promoting his nonsensical ideology. The world would be a much safer and better place without him.

Or more correctly…. for those, whose necks have been put on the line.

Teachers only work as hard as they get paid. Schools, in many cases, are nothing more than day care centres.

Nevertheless, true.

What about to foreign visitors???

My sentiments exactly. Vote with your wallet. As far as the subsidies for hotel accommodation for locals goes, I have no issues. I wouldn’t think there’d be too many governments around the world offering subsidies to foreign nationals. This is a scheme specifically for the locals and we, as foreign visitors, shouldn’t expect to be included. Dual pricing for entry into national parks etc… is another issue however. But it’s a free country and if you don’t like the price don’t buy it.

I agree. No one else wants or welcomes them.
