A video of the first stages of Mahidol's unique auditorium construction. The dust has been oppressive at times, but its really a beautiful design.

Chulalongkorn's Sasin School and Mahidol's College of Management are top flight. My wife got her MBA from Mahidol. It was not a lightweight degree. Excellent teachers and a great deal of benefits.

Everywhere, same same but different.

Many places - but not, for certain, everywhere.

She said she works at an institute within an academic facility - if I read that as being a university - universities fall under a different set of regulations and are not covered by the labor department.

Where did I put my tin foil hat....

Nobody needs cigarettes...you want them.

Why is a politician drinking with buddies late at night, considered news? Who gives a flying fig?

1990-2008 A.D.? I have a time machine I can sell you..

Oral Sedation - sounds kinky.

The usual suspects, spouting the usual blah blah blah. When you guys get tired of going around in circles and come up with some original points, wake me up.

"Dancer" - i.e. hired thug for the Russian mob.

Of course they check computers and hard drives when entering the USA. They are checking men coming from Thailand/Asia for evidence of child sex tourism. There is a possibility of having your digital material searched.
