  1. Eating many small meals was the norm for people living in high temperature, humid environments back when there was no refrigeration or electricity. Preparing too much food caused rot & wastage. Also helped regulate the carbs load to maximize energy needed for farming. Unfortunately, the habits of a mostly agrarian society didn't change with the introduction of refrigeration, sugar, packaged foods, and a more sedate lifestyle.
  2. Doesn't matter. The Kazahks now think positively of the Borat movies and have used it to create a world awareness campaign to promote Kazahk culture and tourism. Those images above ^ were filmed in Romania IIRC. Kazahk villages are better organized, not shabby-looking, and are clean.
  3. There's a lot of good, decent Chinese people. Unfortunately, the bad ones catch the headlines and creates the prejudice against all. Same reason why so many Thais think Brits are a lot of fat, pink, male pattern balding, drunken, whoremongers.
  4. I've travelled to Kazahkistan before for business. Because of their oil & mineral exports, they have a relatively high standard of living. And, they're much cleaner than the Russians!
  5. From their supposed surnames and how they looked in the video, they are likely SE Asians, maybe Chinese.
  6. Y'know, I'm thinking that perhaps the Thais should export Songkran festivities to other countries. I'd love to see hundreds of thousands spraying water on the Streets of San Francisco, it'd be a way to finally wash-away some of the human feces & urine all over the city.
  7. Coroners and hospitals that issue death certificates simply charge a fee for every official copy. My experience was that they cost me US$10 per copy. Just spend the money and have more issued.
  8. Were they really Russians? I heard some English being screamed. I'd be perfectly happy if they were Russians, but I did hear English. Then again, if they were Brits, Americans, or Aussies, they would've already been at it.
  9. Simple enough. He's a Big Shot in Thailand. Runs an elephant sanctuary. Lives a luxurious life on the beach. He thought he could wriggle-out of this by greasing the right palms. He probably has nothing left in Switzerland except missed alimony payments.
  10. My unsolicited guess is that the real Peter Smith never reported his passport as stolen, and never got a replacement. This helped Richard Burrows became 'Peter Smith' in Thailand and was able to get away with this for so long. As a successful businessman playing by the rules, the Thais wouldn't have scrutinized his renewals after entry. My thoughts are that since he is an offending pedophile, and sex predators have the highest rate of recidivism, what has he been doing during the past 27-years?
  11. What a dumb article. So if Russia invaded Romania, Thailand should send troops and material to fight and die in Europe? I doubt that most Thais could name 5-members of NATO, they certainly shouldn't fight for them.
  12. No there isn't. You are just regurgitating Chinese propaganda. The Taiwanese wish to remain free and Taiwanese, and have never considered themselves as part of China. The results of multiple elections in democratic Taiwan, from local to Presidential prove you are incredibly incorrect.
  13. Don't know what they are, but you'd better take them. Unfortunately, they are suppositories!
  14. From how little he looks next to the car & Thais, I'm guessing he was rolled-up in the spare tire well.
