The concept of a 'sacred statue' is entirely alien to Buddhist philosophy.

Expect a cover-up regarding the extent of the injuries suffered by the sailors who were caught in the firing line.

Best to hold fire for now on the Thaksin issue. The MFP is walking a tightrope and will probably be disbanded however the debate goes. Amazing to think of the MFP's success in the election compared to where they currently find themselves. Never mind, the time will come for their supporters. A combination of patience and resolve required to see them through to that point.

I'm sure he'll make a fist of things in prison.

All clear now. Despicable, but hardly surprising.

If someone hasn't mentioned this already, Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now " I love the smell of napalm in the morning, it smells like.. victory"

Sick, sad comment. Seek help asap.

...or a place to head for if you enjoy 'disgusting places'.

That's the way things are in Thailand. If foreigners don't like it better to find somewhere else to live or visit.

Problem is too many males on arrival in Thailand depart the airport with their testes in place but without their brains.

You are unwell. See a doctor.

First step, become fluent in spoken and written Thai. If that is too difficult, forget about assimilation. You will never achieve it.

In Taiwan for 5 years my neighbour had three male pitbulls. They were a delight. Friendly, and full of fun. They were, however, properly cared for by their owner. In this case the death of the owner played a part, no doubt, and we have not been told what triggered the attack.

Unfortunately we are let down by a few of our number who are thuggish, rude and thick.

A dictatorship pretending to be a democracy...and getting away with it 'election' after 'election'.

What has happened is that with the passing of time since your last visit you have joined the ranks of us oldies.

Who do you think you are ? Your rudeness in asking a stranger such a question is beyond belief. Or maybe this is just a silly, made up story ? Find something else to do.

My advice is do not get involved in this in any way whatsoever.

I suspect not in the Universe, but maybe in the Multiverse.

Utter rubbish.

Correct.

Double negative.

We are let down in Thailand by the appalling behaviour of a few thuggish, thick westerners. Don't blame the Thais for their attitude. People in most countries don't take kindly to foreigners conducting themselves badly.

Who wrote the report ?

Notwithstanding the 2014 coup, the manner in which Srettha came into office was hardly democratic.
