I was told by a teacher, that due to the shortages of foreign language teachers, the school was reluctant to get rid of anybody.

the shortage of foreign language teachers is hardly surprising. while this teacher may be guilty many of those accused are not. there is big money involved.

khmer movies are quite good with elaborate costumes and plots.

the CD's sell for 30 THB each and some even have english subtitles.

look out for them on your next visa run.

knowing how APLE operate how do you know that he did anything at all?

Keep out of Burma. It is not yet a safe place to be.

i know an older cambodian lady who gave me her telephone number

and asked me specifically to look out for a care job like this.

she must be about 35.

pm me and i will send you her telephone number.

where does all the ngo money go? surely they should be helping these people.

it all depends on what you want to do. if you are like the majority of people who don't understand it at all and don't particularly want to then run microsoft windows 7, 8, 10 or whatever but if you want to code something then run a linux operating system like ubuntu, debian, fedora or whatever which are all open source meaning that you can change things. you can do some of the same on windows. try it and then you will understand the attraction of linux.

Talk about big brother,what a joke and as in the west it will be used against you,

i wonder how many people reading this understand what shirtless is saying.

and an especially big kick to the ngo's who sit for hours spying on white people.

Such a pity that NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will only fly by Pluto and not go into orbit around Pluto. The problem seems to be that to get there within a human lifetime a very powerful rocket, the American Atlas 5 fitted with the Russian RD180 engine, was needed. It would require another powerful rocket to slow it down ond go into Pluto orbit insertion. More weight and hence more expense. Let us just hope that all goes well and the cameras are working well for the few days viewing we will get after 9 1/2 years. The cameras worked well for the dress rehersal, the fly by of Jupiter.

i am told that such checks have made it very difficult to find people to work with children anywhere in europe.

on my first visit to thailand in 1985 i experienced this scam. i like buddha and wats and outside is where the scammers hang out. they took me to several wats which i would not have visited otherwise. then to the shop where they taught me the 4 c's colour, clarity, cut and carrats. they also explained that blue glass is more beautiful than a real saphire which is a very dark blue. next to me somebody was buying many boxes of saphires. they kept talking about harrods and the profit to be made. even if the story was true i enquired in london and found out that there are heavy taxes at every stage. 100% on the value of the gems. 100% on the value of the finished item, like cuff links or a ring. plus the cost of the gold and the manufacturing. one of them kept explaining that he was a student in switzerland and that he and all his fellow thai students took their money in saphires. of course coming from india where the scams are more i saw though them immediately and enjoyed the experience so much that i did it again with another group. but beware about scams, even when you think you know them all there is always one that you don't know.

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.
