Why aren't we having this conversation in Thailand?  Illegal mean just as it implies.  Do they all need to be put in jail to understand they have acted against the laws of the US?

Oh, that's right, Rule of Law has become obsolete under the present US administration.  It is now selective prosecution that rules the land.

If I am reading this correctly, Thailand "may" be ready for democracy in about 20 years.  Whom, might I ask is the best person to lead Thailand while She struggles to prepare Herself for democracy once again?  Let me think.  Give me just a moment... 

When you are a regular user of MJ it is difficult to see the dangers of prolonged use thru the fog of smoke. 

This is just another in a long list on Right Wing Nut conspiracies to denigrate the first woman to become President, following the first black-man to become the US President.   Knowing what we now know about the Obama administration and H. Clinton's past behavior, what could possibly go wrong? 

It will take much more than going into the heart of illegal immigration country and telling them he is going to build that dad gum wall and yes the Mexicans are going to pay for it, to get him elected after all the gaffs and foot-in-mouth moments.

Score one for Donald:  Trump - 1    Mexico - 0

Soi 6 and Jomtien Beach are miles apart, have you actually been to Pattaya?

Actually I have lived there for years.  Soi 6, oddly enough, is situated between Soi 5 and Soi 7.   Imagine that!

The "immigration" issue is just an excuse to meet with Mexican officials and explore the possibility of moving his businesses South of the border since Clinton will raise even more taxes on businesses and middle-class Amerikins.

This headline could be the topic of conversation in many countries, including the US and other countries we know and love. 

Be thoughtful and considerate when reporting on such observations on this Forum.   

While walking to Jomtien Beach, I often took a detour to Soi 6, where beach-bums, weirdoes, and aggressive Soi dogs were quickly forgotten. 

All of the expressed challenges lead to one BIG challenge, maintaining good mental health.  Many resort to dulling the pain by drinking too much or some other over-indulgence which leads to other problems.

When does one face reality?  Thais are not going to change, either learn to accept the cultural differences or move-on for your own personal well-being.

Let's face it, the Obama administration has stonewall every investigation into Clinton's misdeeds for a reason.

They have determined she will be President!  The FBI could produce video and eye witness accounts of H. Clinton involved in criminal activity and it would not make mainstream news or become a topic of conversation, not to mention never be seen in a court of law.

Regardless of which side of the political spectrum one aligns one's self, this is bad news and a sad state of affairs for the US and it's citizens.

What I find immensely humorous is that France is being targeted for destruction by Muslims and their response is to ban the burkini on French beaches.

Take that you Muslim terrorists! 

Oh boy, seems like an invitation to more trouble to me.   This is not a generalization, just look at their track record around the world. 

This is not about deckchairs, it is about the belligerent attitude of the vendors working the beach.  On Jomtien Beach, none of the local vendors would sell me a drink because the woman where I rented a deckchair had them all scared to death of her wrath if they sold to her exclusive customers.   Her prices for drinks was higher than her competitors.  At 4pm she ran everyone off the beach and closed up shop. 

Have not rented another chair.   Let them starve.

You wouldnt recommend the whole of thailand based on that comment...

It's an inside joke, the vendors in soi 6 are all masseuses or at least pretend to be.  

Duh, since you say this is not an act of terrorism, does this mean that when a ME man kills innocent people and shouts "Allah Akbar" that this is now normal behavior?

I was surprised to find that this article was not about Chinese tourists.

"That is the pussy pervert"  title to this article gave me angst and pause, but relieved after reading the article was not about me. 

I do not recommend soi 6 in Jomtien, vendors there do not wash their hands after serving customers. 

Me thinks, Clinton and Trump could both benefit from this proposal as patients. 

Please God!  You know I seldom ever ask for anything.  Just make this election go away.  Can the self-proclaimed world leader and super-power continue to rule the world and overturn governments with either a career political criminal or a game show host as President? 

There they go, breaking with tradition.  What's next?  No more beating of wives and female children in public?  No more beheading of women in the town square?   What is this world coming too?  What kind of future can I leave for my sons?  Allah be Praised!

A Middle Eastern man was seen leaving the seen of destruction.  Santa has cancelled his annual Christmas Eve trip around the world indefinitely until suitable reindeer replacements can be found.   I wish some countries would do the same with their leadership.   

It is a good thing that she sued him first as the animal rights people would have for demeaning animals by association.
