Burma Bill

You must be joking - avoid like the plague!! Lanna and Isaan were ideal for me during my 20 years in Thailand.

Is he the fat man wearing the blue floral shirt? Surely he would be more at home on a film set for "Snow White and the......!

Maybe this is the reason (from ATTA): Thailand’s requirement for Chinese tour groups to apply for individual visas, instead of group visas as in the past, may discourage prospective visitors from China, the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) has warned......... Starting from May 8 (2023), every Chinese tourist is required to apply for an individual visa to Thailand, with no exception. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/tourism/40027075

Amazing to read many of the comments. When my 3 pensions are credited to my bank ccount, my priority is to pay my landlord his rent money, knowing I have a decent place to live. All remaining funds are used according to my needs.

This maybe so if you are a "southerner" with your roots sunk in Bangkok or the seaside resorts, and not familiar with Lanna entertainment. Boy was well known in Chiang Mai. RIP and keep playing in Paradise. This photo is appearing on Facebook pages:

With the greatest respect, not quite true. Since 1964 the Shan State Army has been fighting against (and still does) General Win's Junta Tatmadaw. The Burmese Junta now fear democratic support for the civilian Burmese NLD (National League for Democracy) Party formerly lead by Aung San Suu Kyi (now in prison), whose current members live in exile, now the National Unity Government, outside Burma. They are negotiating with "friendly" countries to re-establish democracy - sadly, a hard task, but one lives in hope. The NUG supports the Shan Army and other ethnic groups fighting against the Tatmadaw. Without Thailand, the only support comes from China which is plundering natural resources. Of interest: The Burnese Ambassador to tne UN is still a former NLD member and votes against his own country in defiance of the Junta - brave man! Kyaw Moe Tun was appointed ........ months before the military overthrew the elected civilian government.................. The military junta tried to fire him from his post, but he refused to leave, and so far, the United Nations General Assembly Credentials Committee has refused to recognize the military's appointee. He is also backed by Myanmar's National Unity Government (NUG), ......................... https://www.voanews.com/a/myanmar-s-un-ambassador-reportedly-renewed-for-another-year-despite-junta-s-opposition/6873801.html Stock photo of Shan State Army:

Bangkok's ever expanding monstrous concrete jungle!

Send Thailand plastic construction kits - just 28$ each!!!!

But not wearing yellow T-shirts like one individual shown - usually black!

Plenty in the UK (photo taken in Devizes, Wiltshire)

How about giving the BJT the Ministry of Funny Walks, its promotion of marijuana would be an advatage!! (for those who do not know - a UK TV Comedy show)

A dinosaur trying to avoid extinction?? Too late mate!!

Was the famous high school local to Chantaburi or was it in another province and some distance from the scene? Maybe a "sex game" gone wrong? Whatever, as a former UK forensic scientist, visiting the scene would have been interesting. RIP Gym Shirt Man.

Many shot by a certain Thai construction business tycoon??

From the link: These were 3 Thai touchline staff........................................The committee viewed that they are senior staff with long experience and a duty to train the players, so they should have set an example................................. they got involved in the brawls themselves, so the committee issued the maximum penalties. Well I never - the likes of Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp???

Wrong! IMO the terrorists are the like of General Win, his Junta cronies and the Tatmadaw.

The early Khmer Civilization also worshipped a phallic symbol called a Linga. Many can be seen in the Angkor Wat complex.

Here we ago again - all the pro and anti mask/vaccination brigade will be having a field day, from their favourite bar stool??

Possibly, the family construction business is SINO Thai.

Yes it has - very much so! Much infrastructure redevelopement and modernisation since the shutdown due to Covid-19. View of Siem Reap from "The Eye" and the riverside park with view of the Raffles Grand D'Angkor Hotel (yes a Raffles hotel!)

I bet he did not offer humanitarian aid and sympathy to the ordinary Burmese people who have suffered at the hands of the Tatmadaw, his Junta buddies!

For reference: Phu Pha Man is 107 kms west of Khon Kaen City. Take Route 12 to Chum Phae and continue beyond to 2nd major set of traffic lights where the road bears right. Take right fork Route 201 to Loei. You will soon enter Phu Pha Man District where you can also visit the Bat Cave (at sunset when millions of the creatures fly out) and just further on Phu Pha Man National Park with its scenic mountains, forests and waterfalls. Photo taken at Bat Cave.

Some monk-ey business with intent??

RIP Burmese lady and man. Possibly on their way to market to sell their fish and then taken out by a speeding thai lunatic. IMO the Fortuner driver got what he deserved!

Thank you for your comments. For those unaware, the Killing Fields are located in Choeung Ek, about 17 kms south of Phnom Penh. They are now a memorial to the victims of Pol Pot and his evil subordinates. Even today, due to soil erosion, one can see pieces of clothing and bones protruding from the ground. Special boxes are located around the trails to deposit these remins - if you so desire! They eventually get the reverence they deserve.
