People pay attention...once they perfect this delivery system...and they will...there will be no place safe on earth...

This is a "North Korean Lives Matter" nut case...a loose cannon...that can not be trusted with a nuclear weapon...

The world is in serious danger of annihilation...

Just imagine what an old and cranky N. Korean leader with dementia might decide to do...

They should deport him to a ME Muslim country...beating and raping women are protected by a good ole boys club there...

Wow, who knew! A Thai Soap Opera being played out in real life in the halls of government in Cambodia...

Must be the talk of the town...how exciting for a Cambodian who lives an otherwise ho-hum life...

This is not just an Isan problem...fake gold is showing up most everywhere in the world...seems fake coins are showing up more frequently in Western countries now that gold is on the rise...

When one buys gold...there is a fairly standard premium one will pay above the stated price of gold marketed worldwide...the shop needs to make some money on the sale...

When one sales gold...it is a different story...there is no guarantee you will get the best price at a particular shop...one should shop around when selling gold...just like when buying...one is at the mercy of the shop owner...most know this...and will low-ball you if possible...give you less than the going rate...then sell it the same day for the much higher premium...

After all, the shop is in business to make money...not just exchange gold for baht...

This is the plight of holding gold as an investment...

Kitco.com buys gold from the public...I do not know if they will purchase internationally...but they paid me the exact amount gold was selling for on the world-market when I sold some bars a few weeks ago...you will have to follow strict guidelines for shipping...if they will do it at all...

Good Luck!

This investigation will also fall into that bottomless pit where all Clinton misuse of government property, emails, bribes and extorting money from foreign governments go...

Will be swept under the run as a partisan attempt to discredit this wonderful Presidential nominee...

Clintons rule...or there is hell to pay...

The landscape from Arkansas to Washington contains bodies of those fallen for doing no worse than having information and being in the firing line of the Clintons...U Huh.

U Huh. Right.

The conspiracy people are all over it I see.

They love their conspiracy bullshit. You just have to sit back and laugh at these incredibly silly comments by the the tin foil hatted wingnuts.

They cannot swallow that there was nothing there in all this email server nonsense. They had everything bet on Hillary going to prison and Trump waltzing into the White House to save America.

Now...nothing.

Right wingnuts will be glad to leave the swallowing up to you...you are much to in love with yourself and the Liberal Left to reason with...

Create separate bank accounts for each employee...where they are the beneficiaries...you supply the savings...they will run thru their saving quickly once you pass on...

So what!It's their money to use however they please.Would this happen in the West.This is racism,taking care of the little brown people because they can't take care of themselves.It is their money and their life,not the op to micro manage.They are not your children.Pull some money out of your own pocket if your feeling generous,but i can't see that happening.

I love you Louise...realism is not racism...there is a difference...learn to recognize it...

Having worked and lived in Vietnam during the 1960s...was a bit apprehensive as an American returning to the place where the US was involved in so much unnecessary human strife, misery, and destruction...

I was not certain how the Communist Regime would accept a former enemy...

Could not have been more surprised when people's faces would just light-up when they found out I was a returning American...they seem to go out of their way to assure me that all had been forgiven...yet not forgotten...the biggest tourist attraction in HCMC (former Siagon) was the Vietnam War Memorial...I attended of course...and after viewing the captured US Military arsenal...and especially the pictures of people who were born deformed from the criminal use of agent orange to defoliate the Vietnamese forests...I could not put my mind around how they could now be so accepting of Americans...

..

ggt,

I lived in Saigon for 7 years. The so-called "communist regime" was and is just another kleptocracy. VNese communism was in large part: "if someone has something you want, you steal it from them."

Property was one of these things. And after stealing the house and/or property you sell it for profit.

Many Southerners do not like Northerners nor the VNese government. The Politburo is entirely composted of Northerners. The traffic cops you see are usually Northerners.

The VC did a lot of the work, only in the end to get shut-out by the Northerners.

As for the "war museum," yes bad things were perpetrated by the US and it should be remembered. And the VNese were killing VNese as well. But don't expect the state run media, education system, or even people to every tell you the truth about it.

Thanks for the input...

My exposure was strictly cursory...every place I have lived for any length of time...tends to expose it's worts over time...

As a tourist I had the advantage of enjoying the culture...without getting embroiled in the day to day politics...

Somewhat like a tourist who views Thailand as an adult Disney World...then lives there for a few years and has an entirely different take on the place...

The result of this survey will not sit well with Republicans. They hate Obama enough for the entire rest of the world. He's a negro, you know.

Next up on the hate list, Hillary Clinton. Take it away, boys.

Moronic to throw race into it...he was elected twice because whites bought his pack of lies...it is about his divisive politics...targeting political opponents for special Obama treatment by his henchmen...lack of securing the borders...interjecting his personal views in active investigations...and bringing the whole government to a new low...totally ignoring Constitutional mandate to include Congress in his decisions...to become a one man show...some might say the first dictator of the US...these are the reasons Republicans find him repugnant...he does not pass the smell test...his color is irrelevant...

Throwing out the race card does nothing to increase your chances of making a point...IMHO

We don't know how much we will miss him yet.

Priceless, thanks for the unintended humor...made me laugh out loud...

This investigation will also fall into that bottomless pit where all Clinton misuse of government property, emails, bribes and extorting money from foreign governments go...

Stories like this do remind us that some Thai police take their jobs seriously...kudos to these crime fighters...job well done...keep up the good work...

Hey...we finally have something to cheer about...don't muck it up!

So sad...so frequent...no relief for these mistreated young women on the horizon...

Being disrespectful when conversing with immigration, police or most any Thai official will cause one to come into direct reality...you are here at the pleasure of Thai officials...if you piss them off...you may find yourself leaving the country quickly...

Most everyone has thought the F-bomb at one time or another...but thankfully most have enough moxie to keep their rage inside until they get to where they can have a cold beer and simmer down...

"The Luck of the Irish"...has just run out...

This is an example of the mind set that separates generations...

Older generation were willing to work hard and study hard...doing menial tasks...while waiting their turn to legitimately enter the workforce and become a productive citizen...

New generation wants instant gratification...no hard work or education...just give me money for showing up for work so I can have a good time with no thought to the future...

Does not bode well for the human race...

Create separate bank accounts for each employee...where they are the beneficiaries...you supply the savings...they will run thru their saving quickly once you pass on...

Keep your windows rolled up...make sure there are no non-smoking passengers and children in the car...

Chain smoking with a plastic bag over your head is most effective...

Do these critics of the New Russian anti-terrorist law have a better solution...please step forward and give us your best shot!

Yeah, the Cookie Monster, Santa Claus, and Peter Rabbit are all real...

The FBI director was given his part to play in this dark comedy drama...most of us...and especially H. Clinton...knew what the outcome would be when the investigation began...

The US is becoming more like a vassal state...Lords who lord over you and do not follow the rules...and vassals who are punished by the same laws the Lords ignore...

Sad day for all people...especially America's law abiding citizens...

Wonder what the boy's crime was...that a father would lockup his teen son and make him suffer so?

Where was the mother while this was going on?

We...the human race...appear to be morphing back into the animals...from which we came...

Dang...now I think I know what "karma" is all about...

He was taken to be defrocked

Will this interfere with his ability to collect gifts, food, and money from the public?

What the hell difference does a bar closing at 4 or 3 am instead of 5:30 make?

Go Home! Give it a rest...get a little more sleep...do not become just another statistic...
