  1. Thailand showed a degree of maturity in easing the laws against the use of cannabis. The reasons being given for going back to the previous legislation are pious garbage. If sensibly but not over- controlled this is good business for Thais and for Thailand.
  2. It is stupid beyond belief to use violence against the police in any country, whatever the circumstances. This is bad for the reputation of all Westerners in Thailand.
  3. No idea why you want to help someone who uses violence against women, however, first step would be to tell him to apply for a visa with a new passport and see what happens.
  4. Poor English, poor spelling, and boring. Find something else to do.
  5. Easier to go in person. Last 90 day report at CW I was number 16 in the queue and out by 0930hrs.
  6. 'Over a million people are on the edge of bankruptcy'. Over 10 million plus more like.
  7. The concept of a 'sacred statue' is entirely alien to Buddhist philosophy.
  8. Expect a cover-up regarding the extent of the injuries suffered by the sailors who were caught in the firing line.
  9. 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.
  10. All clear now. Despicable, but hardly surprising.
  11. 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"
  12. ...or a place to head for if you enjoy 'disgusting places'.
  13. That's the way things are in Thailand. If foreigners don't like it better to find somewhere else to live or visit.
  14. Problem is too many males on arrival in Thailand depart the airport with their testes in place but without their brains.
  15. First step, become fluent in spoken and written Thai. If that is too difficult, forget about assimilation. You will never achieve it.
  16. 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.
  17. Unfortunately we are let down by a few of our number who are thuggish, rude and thick.
  18. A dictatorship pretending to be a democracy...and getting away with it 'election' after 'election'.
  19. What has happened is that with the passing of time since your last visit you have joined the ranks of us oldies.
