Glad you understand about pol pot. still trying to be right? Please provide a link to where Thaskin tells the police to go out and kill people. I recalling reading about a watch list, which I'm sure in reality could be the same as a kill list, but again never read or heard that Thaksin told the police to kill people. He did use words like enemies referring to drug dealers. and to make it clear, I'm not defending Thaksin or his actions, this is about you claiming he told the police to kill people, which I dont believe ever happened. I dont recall ever reading any comments like that in the paper nor heard anything on the radio or TV at the time.

I understand completely what happened I was hearing about daily. Are you agreeing with mileandow that Thaksin was as bad as pol pot??? Read what I posted. I didn't say Thaskin was good or that I even liked him. My statement was about his comparison of pol pot and Thaiskin which it's not even close to being the same. Maybe you guys need to read some history on pol pot 1.5 -2 million people killed.
-
I dont need to read up on it as I was here at the time. Yes, many innocent people were killed (almost half), but again it's nothing compared to pol pot.
-
you're really trying to compare pol pot to Thaiskin?? do you even understand what pol pot did?? 25% of the population was killed I'm no fan of Thaksin as he started the stricter visa/overstay rules, but Thaksin didn't tell the police to go out and kill people. That happened for various reasons, mainly being the typical shootouts between drug dealers and the police. Others being the BIB protecting their own interests, but the police said it was self defense which all know was BS...

I had a friend that used an agent for a few years, loved the agent...until there was an issue and it turned out the agent had fake stamps. just a few months ago there were some agents that did the same thing. I'm not saying all agents are bad, but to be safe I take care of things myself. -

I would say theses pictures are more of a normal funeral in the small villages. This was one of our neighbors a few years ago.

This was for one of our workers several years ago. Our company did pay, but this was a poor temple so it was still an outside ceremony.

Get a visa and enter Thailand, make sure you have equivalent of 20K thai baht, onward ticket etc. If you dont want to do that, get you GF to come to Vietnam and bring your stuff. -
