Surprised no one mentioned the South of Thailand. A lot of unrest and people, cops, officials get shot regularly. Has that changed?
Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa ConnectI think they target specific people such as soldiers, monks, teachers & other Govt officials. I don't think foreigners are in danger unless just catching a stray bullet or bomb.

Nikon D800, 200mm, 1/250 sec, f:8, ISO 200
Why is the DOF so short at f8 ? It looks like using that effect to replicate photos of models.

I just shooed it out the door with a broom as I don't kill anything if I can avoid it.
I remembered that Thai song by Mai a few years ago... Puuying muan nguu pid, mai yark ja tam lai cry... women are like poisonous snakes, they don't want to hurt anyone.

Just a few days ago a small snake came into my house. About 15 inches long I never looked at markings but it had a big hood and stood up and hissed loudly when I was trying to get it to leave with a broom. Was it a Cobra as I believe even baby ones are fatal?
True and Proper Buddhist teaching
in Buddhism
Posted
To the OP.. everyone believes that they are right, that their religion is the correct one, that they are wise, etc. Few people have the wisdom to listen to criticism and admit to themselves that they might be wrong. Trying to tell the Buddhist leadership here that they are doing it all wrong would be a waste of time. A monk might advise the correct practice but to tell people they are doing it wrong would only get him ignored.
The ego is the biggest problem for most people and its asian aspect of 'face' is very strong here. If they really understood the teachings of the Buddha about annatta then they would abandon the need for 'face'... even thai monks do not understand this and still try to preserve their 'face'.
