Bday Prang

Well firstly how could the tourism authorities know , and secondly its hardly an online "campaign" just a few whinging bed wetters, it will all be forgotten about by New Year

me too, but I'm happy its stopped as I live only 10km from the border, although it might be a little bit further now

surprised it took so long, , for an anti Trump comment I mean

Most of the alleged outrage will be generated on line by the professionals employed by the Cambodians there must be a few unemployed scammer and hackers at a loose end and looking for work.I haven't had a phone call since it started I'm starting ti miss them

Win ??? well they would if they were but they're not so they won't

No more barbaric than planting a landmine with the sole intent of blowing somebody's legs off, Or blasting civilian villages with BM 21 rocket launchers. It was just a lump of concrete Anyway would 500bt and a wai make it better

Why would they worry? Anyway are there any countries these days that enjoy 5 star global standing,? What does the phrase even actually mean? and who gets to decide the ratings. Its a phrase as ridiculous and meaningless as "international law "

Exactly,and just like the rest of social media, this forum is fast becoming a haven for quite a few members of the "permanently offended on behalf of someone else" community. with all the associated virtue signaling . I'll bet there is not a single Indian or Hindu amongst them. The same sort of self loathers who have "renounced their white privilege" and hate their own counties , have now started to hate the country they now like to call home, It is or was a war, or at least a battle , people have been killed and maimed, their houses have been destroyed, and hundreds of thousands have had to suffer 3 weeks in makeshift refugee camps, and here we are listening to them moan about a statue it was hardly an ancient religious relic barely over 10 years old , its no great loss to anybody, Lets get things into perspective Some have decided in their hysteria that it might have been demolished for "religious reasons," (shock horror) utter rubbish but even if it was , so what

Nah that's not how they are brought up, from a very young age the inherent superiority and entitlement of being Thai is drilled into them along with the sacred status of the land they occupy , Look at the comments under any you tube clip from Thai Tv discussing the cease fire, very few pacifists amongst them, and how many street protests calling for peace have we seen ?

I'm sure india has its fair share of mega wealthy billionaire tycoons just like any other country, and just like those from other countries they have little interest in holidaying in Pattaya. The ones that do end up in Pattaya, and, as you say ,are ,mistakenly thought to be typical of all Indians, are of course not However, assuming your talking about groups of mostly single young (ish) Indian males who are here for a 2 or three week blow out, they are pretty typical of all the other foreigners from that demographic who gravitate there., and who are probably considered as typical examples of their own nationalities by the indians Anyway Just like christians , not all hindus are "devout" and those that are, probably don't holiday in pattaya very often. Those who are screaming "boycott Thailand" have probably never been to Thailand and probably never intend to . and those of them who do come here certainly wont be listening to them Billionaire investors do not normally experience knee jerk reactions to a bit of social media fury,so no worries on that score either, People used to say it'll be "tomorrows fish and chip wrapping" about stuff like this ,, now its the contents of tomorrows recycle bin

The phone number is required for the courier company who will be making the delivery

I would not trust the chinese as far as I could throw one regarding anything to do with this conflict, they are involved up to their necks in the conflict, This has little to do with any border location issues, that is just a convenient distraction designed play on the nationalistic instincts the authorities have force fed the population for generations It works too, that's why there have been no public protests calling for the conflict to end Look at the comments attached to any you tube video concerning the current cease fire, most Thais are not exactly in favour of it, most are calling for the Thai army to continue fighting until the cambodians are well and truly beaten The added complication of a looming election here also has a bearing on the situation, no prospective leader can afford to be seen making any concessions to the "despicable" cambodians "threatening Thai sovereignty" that would be political suicide The chinese involvement is a different matter try watching the attached vid its definitely food for thought it gets to the reasons at around 12;40 but is worth watching from the beginning

a candle in a guinness bottle

lol and we both forgot, lack of number plates the blue coloured indicators and the flickering brake lights, where do they get the money from, and why when they often run out of fuel are they allowed to ride in close formation with their mates pushing them along with their feet? its a crazy world out there

who are these so called "experts" and in what field is their expertise? I mean anybody with half a brain cell could make a statement like that , even me,

we'll just have to make the most of it, but not sure if I'll bother returning home yet

I did not suggest one was needed for this or any other foreign fugitive, I was enquiring as to when they are required

of course those of us who live near the border are sick of this The higher ups could not care less

72 hours? whats the point? just enough time to reload and stock up , maybe thats what its for They will be at it again for new years eve then?

wonder why his was locked for 6 months, he must have been furious

I hope even the turkey sandwiches had run out.

Can't say I am particularly bothered about North Korea, why did you mention the country in the first place

What on earth are you talking about ,? are you feeling OK.?

Britain is itself a fine example of how things can and will go horribly wrong

ideal for your grandchildren then, at least they don't have hunger strikes over there for you to cry about, well not voluntary ones
