..."Via TASS, Putin issued a list of countries he deemed unfriendly because of sanctions. In my view it was a badge of honor to be on it. Thailand, sadly, was not."... Apparently Thailand made the right decision and stay out of this mess,... that badge of honor, might be all you have if Putin is pushed far enough and decide to push the proverbial red button and pull the plug ! PS, I'm ready to be banned, couldn't care less,...

I was waiting for a human response like yours,.. ! Respect !!!

And all over Europe,...

The Russian Ruble has lost 30% of it's value from yesterday.

A country that has 50 kinds of toilet paper to chose from in it's supermarkets,...but only 2 party's to chose from as president !? has a serious problem !!!

Indeed, And strawberries in Thailand have no taste,... compared to those I buy in Belgium or France !!

Corruption: dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. !!! Corruption has nothing to do with salaries !!! In every country there are people with high salaries in a position of power that are corrupt as well.!!!

Thank you for posting this link, I followed the story at the time. It's a great plot for a movie !

Thank you for remembering us,...I followed the story at the time...It's a great plot for a movie !

Bu** shi*** article,...full of stereotypes,...."("Many Western wives meanwhile are obsessed with keeping up appearances")".... same goes for many Thai women,....Even more so !!!

Hm,...One of my friends was living with a beautiful Lady boy on Koh Samui. One day we were some friends together, one asked him why he liked that lady boy when he said he was not gay !? He answered "you can't possibly imagine the pleasure shaving together in the morning" !!!

Nah,...The message is don't post pictures of you touching coral on the net !!!... I have dived several times in Thailand and have seen multiple tourist boats drop anchor on and near corals,...Even where authority's have assigned places marked with buoys away from the corals,....And have let the tourists walk on corals,...

Exactly what I do, 6 months in Europe (Summertime) and 6 months in Asia (European Winter time) !!!

Many beautiful places i could live in Vietnam,....been there many times.

If you read the article you might have seen this !!! "....the attack occurred while she was relaxing on the beach before her return flight...."

Don't underestimate Thai cops, they never say everything to journalists and the professionalism quality of those journalists is not that good either !!!

,...."Naew Na reported that behind the wheel of the Mazda was a Norwegian man Mr I.W. who had lived in Thailand with his Thai wife in Amnat Charoen for ten years."...

Hm,..But they have policemen (corrupt/honest) building up cases against someone who might be innocent !

..."Why is is this so hard for you Thai apologists to believe?"....Now you have explained it I could believe you.

Hm,...This been Thailand?... these people knowingly gambled with there lives by ripping of that guy. Now this case has been explained, I start to understand him,..
