I do love stories with a happy ending.  Thug is lucky he was not shot to death.  Hope mom and children have no permanent injuries or emotional scars from the ordeal.

Aside from phu quoc - which for sure has tarnished in the last 5 years - can I ask to what beaches are you referring?

 

Try Nha Trang for starters.

For Thais, Thailand is a place where dreams come true, all things are possible for Thais who are willing to share in the bounty. 

Some of the youngest, most attractive, hijab wearing Muslim women, blow themselves up in crowded restaurants to show their appreciation for being allowed to enter infidel country.

There, there now sweetie, this to shall soon pass.  Don't get you panties in a wad.

I am having a difficult time mustering up sympathy for these men.  Who among you has never been cheated by some of India's finest businessmen?

Everyday would be perfect in your world, as one navigates the zoo of life in Thailand. 

This mad exodus of ME immigrants into Europe and soon many more into the US will go down in history as the single most important event to cause the destroy of centuries of Western civilization, art, history, economies and culture.

Some would say, "This is a good thing, you have had your turn, now it is ours." 

What they can not see is the fact that if their culture is so wonderful, why are they leaving it all behind?

Europe and US will one day rue the day they did not encourage ME people to remain in their own countries.

The world in general has become wary of any US proposal, trade agreement or assistance.  The US has a reputation of running amuck in countries who let them have free access to their politicians and infrastructure. 

There is a good reason to suspect that the reason this is still going on, is because it brings in a good income to a number of people.

Over 7' tall, surprised some women's basketball team did not sign her up.   HBP (High Blood Pressure) is a very treatable disease.  Sad that no one picked up on this young woman's health issue before it was too late.  RIP

"general election is still far away"  No truer words were ever spoken.

Of course not.  It will be the overwhelming support and will of the people that will force him to stay in office against his own preference to return to military service. 

I find myself quite capable of performing all household chores, including ironing, but choose not to do them all myself.

My only dilemma is I can neither scratch my back without assistance nor apply sunscreen lotion evenly.

So far, I have not decided to commit suicide over my inabilities.

The problem is not with the perception of danger.  The problem is that the Southern Region of Thailand has been smoldering for years.  The problems brought on by Muslim separatists has not been reduced or controlled.  On the contrary, the area of danger has expanded.

Good Luck!  You may convince a few naïve tourists to risk it all to visit a militarized zone when most of the rest of the country is comparably much safer.  

Why do so many of these young women come up with these stories of sexual abuse in Thailand?  Are they fantasizing after watching too many Thai Soap Operas?  Is there a concerted and wide-spread effort to demonize Thai males? 

Foreigners should just go home.  They do not understand the historic privileges of a male in a SE Asian country.

Are we saying that this is abnormal behavior in Thailand?

Unless you are personally a questionable eye witness, then it is pure conjecture to assume either suicide or attempted murder.  Either way it was a botched effort.  The result of the investigation will likely be as botched as the failed attempt to end a life.    

Dang, if he keeps this up, he may become likeable before he leaves office.  Naw! 

Every time I feel the urge to exercise, I recline on the couch until it passes.  Works for me.  Stress free and happy as can be.

Unfortunately, this particular politician was actually trying to do something about a serious problem.  His death will only increase the danger for all involved.

Sad day when those looking for a solution are attacked and killed in such a way.

Making Bolivia off my bucket-list.

Picture of the keys left in the ATM machine, priceless!  Made me laugh out loud.  Thanks for the bit of unintended humor. 

She was bored and wanted to give herself a raise without having to ask.  She took the money because, like a kid with a candy bar on the table, it was just too irresistible.  In the future do not test your low income help with leaving money around the house.  This test will fail most often in any country in the world.

You should be ashamed.  Hire her back, give her a raise, and keep your money secured.

Lochte should be given an IQ test and be declared mentally unfit to stand trial.
