Yes that is a very good idea. Tell everybody how he started his career as a Khmer Rouge officer. 

The rest you can find in Wikipedia.

Its a shame and beyond disgusting that a man responsible for so much killings and suffering, violence and unjustice still can be the head of state....everybody should know about this!

"

Hun Sen came to power with the Khmer Rouge and served as a Battalion Commander in the Eastern Region of Democratic Kampuchea (the state name during the Khmer Rouge government). In 1977, during internal purges of the Khmer Rouge regime, Hun Sen and his battalion cadres fled to Vietnam.^{[14][15][better source needed]}

Hun Sen became one of the leaders of the rebel army and government that the Vietnamese government sponsored when they prepared to invade Cambodia. When the Khmer Rouge regime was defeated, Hun Sen was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Vietnamese-installed People's Republic of Kampuchea/State of Cambodia (PRK/SOC) in 1979. As the de facto leader of Cambodia, in 1985, he was elected as Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Prime Minister, after the death of Chan Sy. As Foreign Minister and then Prime Minister, Hun Sen played a pivotal role^{[citation needed]} in the 1991 Paris Peace Talks, which brokered peace in Cambodia. During this period Prince Norodom Sihanouk referred to him as a "one eyed lackey of the Vietnamese".^[16]

In 1987, Amnesty International accused Hun Sen's government of torture of thousands of political prisoners using "electric shocks, hot irons and near-suffocation with plastic bags."^[17][18][19]

After the UN monitored elections he refused to step down from the post and negotiated a transitional government agreement that allowed him to remain as co-prime minister but he retained the chairmanship of the CPP.^{[citation needed]} From 1993 until 1998 he was Co-Prime Minister with Prince Norodom Ranariddh. In 1997, the coalition was shaken by tensions between Ranariddh and Hun Sen. FUNCINPEC began to discuss with the remaining Khmer Rouge rebels (with whom it had been allied against Hun Sen's Vietnamese-backed government during the 1980s), with the aim of absorbing them into its ranks.^[20] Such a rallying would have rebalanced the military power between royalists and the CPP.

In response, Hun Sen launched the 1997 Cambodian Coup, replacing Ranariddh with Ung Hout as the First Prime Minister and maintaining his position as the Second Prime Minister, a situation which lasted until the CPP's victory in the 1998 election, after which he became the country's sole Prime Minister. During that year the media broadcast him as the Strong Man of Cambodia which he later said was premature, and that the July 1997 coup was merely the government taking action against the paramilitary anarchy that was sponsored and brought to Phnom Penh by Norodom Ranariddh.^[21] In an open letter, Amnesty International condemned the summary execution of FUNCINPEC ministers and the "systematic campaign of arrests and harassment" of political opponents.^[22]

On 6 May 2013, Hun Sen declared his intention to rule Cambodia until he is 74.^[23][24]

The controversial and widely disputed elections of July 2003 resulted in a larger majority in the National Assembly for the CPP, with FUNCINPEC losing seats to the CPP and the Sam Rainsy Party. However, CPP's majority was short of the two thirds constitutionally required for the CPP to form a government alone. This deadlock was overcome and a new CPP-FUNCINPEC coalition was formed in mid-2004, when Norodom Ranariddh was chosen to be head of the National Assembly and Hun Sen became again sole Prime Minister.

Hun Sen rose to the premiership in January 1985 when the one-party National Assemblyappointed him to succeed Chan Sy who had died in office in December 1984. He held the position until the 1993 UN-backed elections, which resulted in a hung parliament. After contentious negotiations with the FUNCINPEC, Hun Sen was accepted as Second Prime Minister, serving alongside Norodom Ranariddhuntil a 1997 coup which toppled the latter. Ung Huot was then selected to succeed Ranariddh. In the 1998 election, he led the CPP to victory but had to form a coalition government with FUNCINPEC. Hun Sen has since led the CPP to victory consecutively, and is currently serving in his fifth prime ministerial term.^[3] In June 2015, following the death of Chea Sim, Hun Sen was elected president of the CPP.^[4]

Hun Sen was 32 years old when he became prime minister, making him at that time the world's youngest head of government. One of the world's longest-serving leaders, he has been described as a 'wily operator who destroys his political opponents',^[5] or as a dictator who has assumed authoritarian power in Cambodia using violence, intimidation and corruption to maintain his power base.^[6][7] Hun Sen has accumulated highly centralized power in Cambodia, including a personal guard said to have capabilities rivalling those of the country's regular army.^[8] The former Khmer Rouge commander has consolidated his grip on power through a web of patronage and military force'.^[9]

Some political opponents of Hun Sen have in the past tried to accuse him of being a Vietnamese puppet.^[16] This is due to his position in the government created by Vietnamwhile Cambodia was under Vietnamese military occupation and the fact that he was a prominent figure in the People's Revolutionary Party of Kampuchea (now known as the Cambodian People's Party), which governed Cambodia as a one-party state under Vietnamese military occupation from 1979 until elections in 1993. Hun Sen and his supporters reject such charges, saying that he represented only the Cambodian people.^{[citation needed]}

Hun Sen's government has been responsible for the leasing of 45% of the total landmass in Cambodia - primarily to foreign investors - in the years 2007-08, threatening more than 150,000 Cambodians with eviction. Parts of the concessions are wildlife protections or national parks even,^[43] and the landsales has been perceived by observers, to be the result of government corruption. Already thousands of citizens had fallen victims of forced evictions.^[44]

Hun Sen was implicated in corruption related to Cambodia's oil wealth and mineral resources in the Global Witness 2009 report on Cambodia. He and his close associates were accused of carrying out secret negotiations with interested private parties, taking money from those^{[further explanation needed]} who would be granted rights to exploit the country's resources in return. The credibility of this accusation has been questioned by government officials and especially Prime Minister Hun Sen, himself.^[45]

Hun Sen’s Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) has placed bans on public gatherings, driven opposition supporters from the site of former protest meetings 'Freedom Park', and deployed riot police to beat protesters and detain union leaders.^[46]

Hun Sen and his political party, CPP, have held near total dominance over the mainstream media for the majority of their rule. Bayon Television is owned and operated by Hun ManaHun Sen's eldest daughter. Apsara TV is joint-owned by Say Sam Al, CPP Minister of Environment and son of Say Chhum, CPP secretary and the son of CPP Deputy Prime Minister Sok An. CTN, CNC and MyTV are all owned by Khmer-Chinese tycoon, Neak Okhna Kith Meng, one of the State's "Okhna".^[47]Okhna is a title granted by the Prime Minister or the Royal Family to high-profile businessmen, and signifies a very close friendship. Okhna are regularly summoned by the Prime Minister to provide funding for various projects.^[48]

CPP officials claim that there is no connection between the TV stations and the state, despite the obvious prevalence of nepotism. However, CPP lawmaker and official spokesman Cheam Yeap once stated "We pay for that television [coverage] by buying broadcasting hours to show our achievements,"^[49] indicating that those TV stations are pro-CPP because they have been paid for by the state for what is effectively advertising.

A demand for television and radio licences was one of 10 opposition requests adopted by the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) at its "People’s Congress" in October 2013.^[50]

Dont worry guys. Im about to set up a online club and a course how to meet rich thai women, how to get them to spend a lot of money on you and I will also give a special lection about how to behave in bed with such women. 

The fee to join this club will only be 300 USD - so slightly less than my counterpart in Khon Kaen. 

I will be back with more details later.

Says a spokesperson from a country that have chopped down so much forest illegally that there are hardly any forest left.

Take a ride from Siem Reap to Stung Treng and have a look for yourselves...

A great idea that should have been implemented long time ago. Intensive care units in hospitals all over Thailand, even upcountry are having heavily injuried farang patiens in ICU care for weeks and months without getting paid for it. 

Thai citizens going to get a Schengen visa needs a medical insurance. Other countries such as Russia also have a mandatory travel insurance policy for persons applying for a visa to the country. 

It goes without saying that traveling abroad without insurance for possible medical issues and accidents that can happen is extremely stupid. For those who are that stupid - a mandatory requirement is the best solution. If you cannot afford an insurance - stay home!

Why are Thailand so deadly for motorbikers?

Could it be that most motorbikeriders in Thailand dont wear a helmet?

Could it be that of those few who actually wear a helmet - the helmet they wear is better suited as used for a bedpan than actually protecting a head of a human?

Could it be that 99,9 % of thai motorbikeriders dont wear anything else for protection than flipflop sandals, shorts and a T-shirt? (Hint - protective jacket, pants, boots and gloves)

Could it be that many motorbikeriders dont have a driving license for a motorbike?

Could it be that for those who actually have a motorbike driving license - the process of getting it didnt include proper training in how to ride a motorbike, how to understand traffic laws and regulations and traffic signs, how to interact with other traffic, how to avoid accidents etc?

Could it be that riding a motorbike in a drunk state seem to be totally acceptable for most thai citizens? 

Could it be that making a phone call or a text while riding a motorbike in jammed city traffic seems totally normal for most thais?

Could it be that brakes and tyres often are neglected items on motorbikes in Thailand - not to mention lights and indicators (and the use of the last mentioned item)?

Could it be that thais often sit 3-4-5 persons on one bike that are made for maximum two persons?

Could it be that thais often load their motorbikes with ridiculos amounts of load of various amounts that severly change the mobility and handling of the motorbike? 

Could it be that riding in severe rain or total dark seems quite normal for most thai motorbike riders?

There are of cause car drivers, bus drivers, truck drivers and pickup drivers that drive drunk or recklessly - so even if youre take all precautions - youre never 100 % safe. But that goes for all places and countries around the world.

The biggest problems for thai motorbikeriders are their own attitude towards riding a motorbike.

Thai roads and thai traffic is not that bad compared to other countries around the world - its most of all in the attitude of the thai motorbike riders...

Perhaps read the linked article in the OP and it would be obvious.

It's about people with a good degree of wealth. 

Unless their goal is to leave a large legacy, generally it means spending enough to enjoy your money while you are ALIVE and not "waste" it by dying without spending it motivated by perhaps irrational worry that you don't have enough.

I've met older people, and heard them here, that are quite wealthy but are determined to never spend down a nest egg at all. Not to nothing, that would be a disaster of course, but at all!

The article talks about many people even growing a large nest egg after retirement. For some people, worth a look at these attitudes. 

If eldery people with a certain degree of wealth dont want to spend a lot of money - it must be up to them!  

Hey bigmouth - leave them wealthy elderly alone.... ;-)

You have no idea of the workload and low pay these nurses do and the shit they put up with, (a-hole illiterate god complex doctors for one) !!!!!! Every gov hospital is swamped with patients. Of all the gov jobs nurses are the most overworked and underpaid civil servants in the system. All they want is fair pay and some regular working hours, not 80-100 hour weeks at 8K a month (even less at some hospitals). My wife has 26 years as a nurse here and we never see each other it seems and she cant say no when she is tired and wants to go home. The big problem is even with the low pay and long hours the gov quit giving new nurses civil service contracts that at least give them some xtras like pension to make their hard work and long hours a little more acceptable. You are a ignorant simple minded typical falang that prob never did an honest days work in his life and got paid quite well for it, well good for you. okay mods you can ban me now.

I stayed there a few years ago when it was new, it was very bright and clean and they changed the linen every day, it was a very clean and nice bright big room with a nice toilet and shower and air.

I did not find it uninviting it was quite laid back, I stayed there for one year.

I don't know why if this man stayed there for a long time that he would not use the toilet which is next to the door that opens to a very small balcony.

What ever happened there is a possibility of foul play, I hope the police reviewed the CCTV, the place used to be very well managed and friendly nice management.

Very sad RIP.

I agree, a quite good place to stay while in Udon. Although the later years after most of the nightlife has moved to the same street its a bit too noisy there for me.

Stayed in this place a few times. Depressing and uninviting feeling about it. 

Maybe not a 5-star hotel but blaiming the incidense on the accomodation in stead of the man - well thats a bit off...

Well the opening posts example is about a thai woman who couldnt get an ambulance for her mother to a statly hospital ans then phoned a private hospital and got help - albeit very expensive. I belive that thai citizens should be entitled to free emergency care.

For us farangs on short or long stay in the kingdom it still is a very good idea to have an medical travel insurance with a good coverage....

So now theres no more sex-business left in Pattaya? Great - I can now invite my parents there for a holiday.... :D
