I have allways found it difficult to understand the huge contradictions in this Buddist country where the great Budda gave away all material things to reflect on the true meaning and perhaps meaningless of life. Yet people demonstrate greed for the material things to improve their lives and then show no regard whatsoever for themselves safety or others or others. I can only try to understand this beautiful addictive country. 

i think taking gifts to the Wat exonerates their actions, maybe same as confessional

maybe the Shins should play the Ace card,  both fly back to Thailand. cats and pigeons then comes to mind

So let me get this straight:

She vanishes like a puff of smoke from under the watchful eye of the junta. Who have not prosecuted anyone in connection with her 'escape'. And who don't know where she is but she is in Dubai. Yet she has promised not to be involved in politics, despite there being no communication. And we are expected to take all this at face value?

I mean, is it just me or what?

its Thailand dont you just love it

The problem seems to be that they still do not acknowledge that dabbling in slavery was wrong.

 

Maybe a bit of contrition and facing up to what they did would be more helpful rather than trying to blame others.

You'll also see older gentlemen, maybe early 60's, with much younger Thai wives with babies/toddlers/youngsters. I can't understand these guys. What posses them to start a family at that age when there is a good chance they will either be dead or incapacitated before the kids start high school, leaving a relatively young woman with nothing but a few kids, and leave a few kids without a father.

I don't believe all these guys are wealthy and the wife will be taken care of all that well financially when the pass on.

I know that there will be many posters jumping on this statement and insisting they became fathers at 70 and it was the best thing they ever done.

 

My comment is not about the father...its about the kids. Tantamount to child abuse in my view.

 

There should be a requirement that anyone over, say, 45, should have a certificate of vasectomy before being permitted a long stay via/extension.

 

Flame on guys!!!!!

when they get their mans pension all becomes good
