Iron Tongue

So the police are so lazy now that they want the victim to summon his attacker?

...as you type into your "Made in China" device, phone, PC, laptop, tablet.

Now I don't smoke, nor have I ever committed murder before dismembering, and then bagging-up an entire human body, but I have to think it'd certainly take longer than the time needed to smoke one cigarette.

Rather than a telescoping baton, which is not legal, try a wooden or rattan cane. You can carry that everywhere, and can even learn some Martial Arts forms for them. If you don't want a cane, a strong umbrella, either full or telescoping will work. This guy sells them out of Poland. I can attest that the collapsible one works. https://unbreakableumbrella.com/unbreakable-telescopic-umbrella/

Thailand has always placated stronger warlike and aggressive countries, it's how Siam has always survived without being colonized. This is just a modern version I would suspect. But the Thais also had the habit of turning on anyone if they showed weakness. I suspect this happening too, if given the opportunity.

Now if we could only figure-out a way to promote China as a tourist destination to the Russians, and Russia as a tourist destination to Communist China...

So you want to blame your laziness on me?

If you had read the article, you'd know that he was the buyer, caught in a police sting.

I have a credit card that doesn't charge foreign currency exchange fees on my purchases. It is very useful for travellers. Or, you can get a card that does not charge for foreign ATM transaction fees.

Wow, a police Sting to sell this transvestite 0.3 grams of cocaine for personal use. I guess they have nothing else to do now that planting/busting tourists for one marijuana joint is no longer possible.

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.

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.

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.

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!

From their supposed surnames and how they looked in the video, they are likely SE Asians, maybe Chinese.

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.

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.

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.

Roids + meth will do that.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Don't know what they are, but you'd better take them. Unfortunately, they are suppositories!
