    Watching the mayhem in the US from Thailand , I love it. Hopefully President Trump declares martial law across the entire country and does a full power grab. Tear down that democracy, Mr. Trump!

    Still working for the man in Thailand, about nine years already. Keeps me occupied and gives some direction to my life. In the meantime I managed to visit most provinces, as well as Malaysia multiple times. I still like my home country but cannot imagine moving back there permanently.

    Looks like a pretty chill idea. I remember there used to be BKK-Penang trains back in 2014. Good to see this is coming back.

    Why would a train need to be?

    After the Betong fiasco I have zero confidence left in the viability of either new airports or expensive refurbishment of existing ones. International travel? Don't make me laugh.

    Right on, dude! Us British guys have done a lot of 'soft' (LOL) power ourselves with them Thai chicks. Ain't no celebrating just the official deeds of our great nation.

    Dudes, be careful what y'all say about these animals. Before ya know it, ya could be arrested for LM and be taken to the BK Hilton. No more chicks for you there. MAGA 4EVA

    Caucasian farangs generally do NOT visit the deep south. And that's a good thing, or we'd be hearing about whiteys being chopped up and done all the time. I suggest you visit Patters instead.

    Finally a decent salary for those folks. Now hopefully they'll expand the salary increases to include foreigners too.

    It's not for everyone, but I'm happy living here, surrounded by mosques and the Muslim culture, instead of scantily clad girls and farangs in singlets. No celebration of songkran, buddhist holidays or other festivals, but only Eid al-fitr and Eid al-Adha are celebrated by beautifully dressed Muslim women and their husbands. To each his own. Alhamdulilah

    After a few years in the Muslim deep south of Thailand, I stopped drinking alcohol instead. In an environment where next to no one drinks, it's pretty easy not to feel tempted. There is no cannabis culture here either. Not that I would ever start using it in the first place.

    Not everyone here is a Muslim. There are Buddhists, Christians and people of other faiths. As a farang living in Narathiwat, I am a Christian too. We actually have a small community of missionaries here. And they wouldn't be here, if there outreach efforts were completely in vain.

    My wife is from Yala too. And, yes, she is a Muslim(ah). Not many buddhists living around these parts. In her village, in fact her entire district of Bannang Star I don't know a single Buddhist.

    He crossed in Narathiwat. I live in the province, and it's not exactly hard to cross the river separating Thailand and Malaysia. In fact, until recently locals used to do that semi-legally every day. Nowadays, because of concerns of terrorism, the Thai side tries to enforce border security much more strictly. But where there's a will, there's a way. The border is over 100 km long and easily passable.

    Exactly, dude. The politeness will be those folks' undoing. It's about time Canada became our 51st state. We'll teach them how to be REAL men instead of the woke liberal sissies they are now. And Canadian resources are a welcome addition to our economy btw. USA USA!🇺🇲
