this from a country where the population do not even trust their own government.. you can't make this stuff up...

and Britain was 11th.. well that might not be a joke in the not too distant future...

was thinking about setting up a give-a-little, to employ Mossad... I bet they would find him in a week and bring him back to Thailand...

I just skip straight to the comments... for the real story....

Take a look at the news from Russia, UK (where there is a new and even more infectious covid variant) and even Singapore... it took more than 2 years for the 1920 Flu epidemic to subside... why not just try and face reality...

To see the UK on here is interesting, giving a new mutation of covid, one that appears to be even more infections, is now circulating in the UK...

Elder abuse is not restricted to Thailand...

meanwhile, in countries like Australia, there is concern that Chinese owners in Australia will be forced to sell up to cover their losses in China... "speculators able to liquidate their properties".. and who will the buyers be ? - other speculators ?.. are you paid by the Chinese government ? then you have China's demographics.. where will all the new young Chinese come from who have money ?

Parrot speak, quality tourists, quality tourists.. squark, quality tourists....

"This century".. which runs from 2000 to 2021... what other viruses have killed so many this century ?

If it had been a Gold watch, there would be no misunderstandings...

and what will the owners who bought at the "list" price be feeling ?

whatever you do, do not mention Evergrande... possibly the most spectacular failure in Chinese current economic history..

Khmer really don't have a clue.. some of the least productive people.. but have been conditioned that it's someone else's job to make their lives better. They are competing against people in Bangladesh where they earn a lot less. If they get their increase they will be complaining that they don't have any jobs. The $64,000 question, is why are they not creating their own businesses ?...

Silly foreigners, they should not be holidaying in Thailand...

yes, I know the bombing led to the rise of the Khmer Rouge.. before the US started bombing Cambodia, Pol Pot were just a rag bag band of bandits in the North East.. Pol Pot said he fought for the Vietcong, but all he was was a cook... when the B52's dropped from above cloud, the farmers didn't hear them and the next thing that happened was bombs were going off around them, not surprisingly they literally <deleted> themselves.. and were ready recruits for the Khmer Rouge.. I am not sure if by population or land area, Laos by I think at least one of these measures was the most heavily bombed country... there are some pseudo real time videos of the bombing missions over the period of time.. you can see how they start off small and isolated and then progress rapidly to the whole country.. I did read when it all started that the B52 crew were not given their co-ordinates until they were in the air... so they didn't really know they were bombing Cambodia, that must have been early on when they were trying to take out the Ho Chi Minh Trail - which was the original justification... so that if American factories make bombs and sold to someone, and those bombs are used against some other enemy, does that give a right to this other enemy to come and bomb America ?

and from someone in the USA, who dropped 3 1/2 times more bombs on Cambodia than they did on Japan in WW2.. and this was a country that the USA was not even at war with.. oh the utter hypocrisy.. who in the USA ever went to prison for this ? oh, and what about Agent Orange which still affects people today... ??? you want to comment or run for it ?

Meanwhile in China.. for those who might not have been following the news.. One of the biggest Chinese property developers China Evergrande faces potential collapse as it buckles under a mountain of debt, and it could have serious consequences not only for Australia’s iron ore prices but the economy too, an expert has warned. There are fears that should China Evergrande, the country’s second-biggest property developer, collapse, it would make raising debt more difficult for other property developers, which in turn would impact China’s construction industry and reduce the demand for iron ore used to make steel. But why would I want to spoil some real estate sales person's breakfast ?
