By all means have opinions but cheap jokes and slurs are hardly fitting in a thread about a family's death. Please show restraint. Thank you.

Yesterday is over and now this topic can be closed.

A flame post was removed along with some troll posts

A sur post removed along with a reply quoting that

Admittedly a bit off topic but somehow related .....

Many years ago in my ad exec days I was a consultant for the agency in Bangkok that handled Makro - who did and do advertise.

They were going to have a party for their 2,000 of their local suppliers and their senior staff.

Proposal after proposal was submitted until finally we were told that the budget was 100 baht per supplier attending (not including their staff) which was around 200 in total.

We had to surrender the project because we could not find a venue, supply food and entertainment that cheap for 5,000 people !!

A slur post and reply quoting it were both removed

Off topic troll post removed

A post purposely re-naming a poster in an insulting way was removed

Should be a great event !!

Indeed. Normally a police report is needed for insurance or other reasons. Nothing unusual in having police involvement.

A previous attempt to post this topic was closed and this one is too.

A potentially libellous post was removed.

A troll post also removed.

Praying is a Western concept whereas my understanding is that practitioners of Buddhism are simply seeking understanding or whatever in a way that is humble in its portrayal and although the action seems like the Western prayer hand clasp, it is not really that. That similar action in front of the Buddha's image or a monk etc, is a simply showing respect not worship per se. even if some wish may take place at the same time.

You do realise this is a light hearted forum and sometimes not meant to be looking for the meaning of life.As you get older hopefully you will become less of a deep thinker.As I was told when I first came here ( by many Thais ). You think too much then you get brain cancer( I am sure there are other natives who have been told the same).

Thanks, I guess I need another 47 years here to acquire any wisdom

A "flame"post and a reply to it both removed. Please keep it civil.

a general slur post removed
