Mr. Vibol is often up against NGO lawyers, who represent virtually all child abuse victims here. His strategy has featured assertions that his clients were set up by rapacious NGOs eager to catch a predator to win foreign donations – not help victims.

“NGOs know that the girl is a street prostitute, but they don’t bring her to the center for the government to take care of her,” he said. “They let her stay in the street and work as a prostitute.”

How long will it be before we start seeing the corrupt NGO's prosecuted and sent to prison for a long time.

There are enormous number of foreigners who have been setup and victimised,

Why do elephants wear pink shoes?

So that they can creep up on mice in strawberry fields.

The culture of Cambodia is Indian. Angkor Wat was built as a temple to Lord Shiva. There are many Shiva lingams and yonis where milk or ghee was traditionally poured. Only in later times did it become a Buddhist temple. The Hindus have adopted Buddha as a god. So what is all the fuss about?

"ID cards or passports if they are foreigners"

the text is obviously ambiguous and could be read as

either:-

"Aliens are required to show either an ID card or passport. Thai people are not required to show anything."

or:-

"Thai people are required to show an ID card. Aliens are required to show a passport."

Obviously the intention is the latter.

Maybe just the addition of just 2 brackets would make the meaning clear:-

"ID cards (or passports if they are foreigners)"

Now try writing that in Thai,

บัตรประจำตัวประชาชน (หรือหนังสือเดินทางถ้าพวกเขาเป็นชาวต่างชาติ)

(translate.google.com)

But that simply can't be true, because God tells us so.

So what do you think was there before the big bang? I'm not saying it was an old man with a beard, but if you go back far enough there must have been a beginning, or did all the components of the universe just happen to be lying around, and there will be big bangs for ever and ever and ever?

I don't know if it was God or not, but neither does anyone else.

It is not possible to talk about before the big bang since space and time were created at the big bang. God is the filler that we use for the parts that we do not understand. Our god is mostly a christian concept which has held back human development for 1000 years from 600 AD to 1600 AD. Without a Christian god we would now be colonising the galaxy. That is not to say that god does not exist only that he is greatly over-rated. Cynical Christians will reply that those who do not believe in God have never loved anybody. The latest theory is that big bangs are happening all the time like big plates clashing together. The physics of these other universes may be completely different to our own. This so called reality that we all experience is not real at all but an illusion or Maya in the Buddhist faith. i believe in the holographic nature of our experience. There is no matter. There are no particles. There are only waves or vibrations in a firmament. This is difficult to prove since we cannot stand outside of it and look at it from the outside. The Victorians had the idea that something came out from the eye which caused light to be emitted to the eye. There must be an observer for anything to happen. This idea is now being looked at again in the light of the double slit experiment and certain brain experiments. We are what we are and we alone are responsible for our present situation. It is interesting that where we live is a very special place, very supportive to life and where we are shielded from many destructive forces like radiation. As a great supporter of SETI it must be stated that by the Drake equation states empirically that the number of planets with intelligent life equals the number of years that intelligent life can survive after the discovery of the atomic bomb. In our case that is 70 so far.

don't forget that general Prayuth probably reads these posts.

remember that thai people find white western skin very beautiful

and darker skinned thai ladies ugly by comparison.

try Stanfords in London. they do air navigation maps of most of south east asia from the vietnam war and after.

if you are looking for a bartholomews type map forget it. they are even older than that and really inaccurate.

you bikers. can't you just use satellite navigation.

this thread has certainly brought the cockroaches out of the woodwork.

the visa price at the koh kong border is not $37 but 1500 thb or about $47.
"john you be quiet. we need to earn some money."

the christians in my country england behaved in the same way.

second commandment:-

thou shalt have no graven images before me.

or

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

most of the stone circles built by the celts (we think) were destroyed.

St Columba in Iona and Lindisfarne.

it is christianity that needs to be examined.

muslims are no worse than christians and in many cases better.

it is religion itself that must take the blame.

' Assaulting cars ' ? If Thai law recognises animals can assault inanimate objects would Attempted Murder not be more appropriate but since these elephants are supposedly sexually aroused maybe it should be Attempted Rape ?

the cars are all under 10 years old so it must be trafficking.

this story is hard to believe.

since when does a customer ask a taxi driver to turn off his meter?

there is no reference to this story anywhere else.

furthermore Uthit Fahmeeta exists neither on facebook nor on youtube.

bit creepy the information that fahmeeta operates a sort of gestapo/stasi network of informers in thailand.

next time do not use any detergent at all. the residual detergent in the clothes may be enough to wash them.

looks to me like the elephant is in musk. do you see that black line running up from the mouth?

power to the people.

right on.

ngo - human trafficing - looking for small children.

they only go to falung houses.

don't be fooled by the uniform and the id badge

anybody can do that.

Paedos need to be exterminated like cockroaches. Surprised there aren't more vigilantes about, especially in Thailand.

there are plenty of vigilantes in Pattaya and in Thailand. they don't go after Paedos because they cannot find enough of them to justify their expenses so they go after just anybody even you and me.

1985 fortuna hotel sukhumvit soi 5

300 THB per night.

i was used to paying 30 THB in India.

taxi driver brought me there from the airport,

it has a swimming pool.

it is still there (i think) but not the same.

The fee for the car sounds quite reasonable. Going back via Poipet I think you did well not incurring any 'out of province' charges.

Your eating experiences are exactly the opposite to mine - but then again, I mainly avoid Cambodian food and opt for good quality western food at a fraction of the price in Thailand.

I would never use a car to visit Angkor Wat, a far better ambiance is achieved when traveling by tuk tuk - especially later in the day.

I traveled from Siem Reap to Angkor Wat and other places last year when the temps were around 40c! Hired air conditioned car with driver - only way to go IMHO. Was not going to sweat it our all day in those temps and to hell with the "ambience". alt=wai.gif width=20 height=20>

when angkor wat was operational they did not have air con.

now with all that hot stone the place becomes unbearable.

it cannot have always been like that.

it must have been a cool place with lots of water.

the theory is that angkor wat was abandoned

when the water ran out.

you can see high water marks on some of the temple walls

caused by flooding about 15 meters above ground level.

cutting so many trees cannot have helped either.

when i went there 10 years ago tuktuks were $6 for the day.

the entry price for one week was $60 so that is similar.

but they had security checks at the entrance to each temple

which made it very difficult not to pay.

a group of 3 khmers, 2 in blue and one in brown police uniform.

some were relaxed about it and some were very aggressive about it

so much so that i declined to enter one temple after the pass check.

Disgraceful.

The elephants have neither passports nor visas nor work permits.

Since the aliens are all on overstay they should be fined 20,000 THB each and returned to their country of origin.

The Mlabri are the remains of a stone-age culture living in the jungle in small family groups, hunting wild animals for food. There are now less than 500 of these tribal people living in the jungle in this small area of Thailand and Laos.
