off road pat

Hm,...When I cam to Thailand, more than 30 Y. ago, it was a well known fact that Buddhist temples were a refuge for criminals as well as for real Buddhists. Criminals on the run took refuge in temples far away from the places were they operated and became monks !. At that time they could change there identity while been monk. this has changed years ago, as the practice was widespread. Now Monks have a special ID card. But once and a while you still can see monks with Tattoos to be meant to protect them against knife or gun attacks !!!, mixed with Buddhist tattoos !! PS: The photograph is not mine ! It's just a example I Down Loaded long time ago

The meaning of XENOPHOBE is one unduly fearful of what is foreign and especially of people of foreign origin. !!!

Hm,...I rest my case !!!

..."Up here in Isaan, most labourers earn less than 14,000bt/month, but manage to support a wife and family on that!",...??? And how many are in debt with lone sharks to support there family! ??

An apology and a slap on the wrist !!!

This is the main problem now in this world !!! people reading what they want and not what is written !!! There is no mention of sexual assault !!! only sexual advances !!! and you make it as a sexual assault already !!!

Hm,...My wife graduated from University and had a law degree. She knew nothing of the world ! and spoke bad English ! I took her on multiple trips around SE Asia, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam,..She knew very little about those country's. Except the negative things the Thai government wants them to know. We also traveled all around around Europe, half of the country's she never heard about !

Hm,...That is, If he can't buy his way out !?? .. T.I.T.

People in this government are only making deals for themselves !, whatever they do, will always be in there own interest ! And Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin al the lover of Thaksin's sister Yingluk, will look for the Thaksin family's interests as well !!!.

She already payed dearly for her crime !!!

The humanity and compassion just drips of you,....you are soo full of it,...

Hm,..One doesn't have to exaggerate the horrors of Thai prisons !!! they are widely known !!! and others have written books about it ! I wish her well, she made a stupid mistake in life and payed dearly !!!

I hope she has a happy life from now and that the book sells well !!!

Humane treatment in a developed country vs inhumane treatment in a developing country !!!

The language barrier,....he could not speak English.

In just 2 minutes I found articles in medical journals that state the contrary !!! https://www.health.com/condition/chronic-pain/marijuana-benefits-risks https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK425767/ https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240404/Study-shows-positive-impact-of-medical-marijuana-laws-on-mental-health.aspx

Hm,...Taking effective measures is not there strongest point,..."Talking" is !!!!

Hm,...In my more than 30 winters in Thailand,...I have never seen any inspection or Maintenance of anything, except for a few Thai friends of mine that check there 4x4's thoroughly after every off road trip.... Usually Thais wait until something brakes and they repair it,....or try to,...
