Thailand braces for influx of 100,000 Myanmar refugees
herfiehandbag replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I don't want to be pedantic but if these 617 are in Myawaddy, and the city is now under the control of rebels, it is a bit late to try and flee. As far as I can make out the Government forces artillery base, which provide covering fire over the city and its approaches has been captured by Karen rebels. Add to this, due to the air force being unable to operate because of the threat from rebel anti aircraft missile systems, and the result is that probably the garrisons in Myawaddy are now pinned down in their bases. The 617 which the Junta want out, are in these bases. Their hope is that as part of a negotiated capitulation they will be allowed into Thailand, and flown out. -
To a very large extent it is!

Extended Songkran Festival Set to Boost Tourism Revenue

There were a small group of teenagers playing with water in our village for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon. Some dodgy spaghetti tops and shorts combinations, but I decided not to complain, young people need to be allowed to unwind and express themselves. Mind you, I wonder if the parents (who I know) of one of the young ladies there knew how she was "expressing herself" dancing, then they may have had other views! -
No fleas on Trump - they have decamped already!

Of course it is crooked. If Donald Trump swallowed a nail he would <deleted> a corkscrew!

So was I. -
Well, that and the bodies of young girls, their pelvises broken because they had been raped to death by the noble warriors of the religion of peace. Foul apologist that you are!

Myanmar seeks permission to land aircraft in Tak

Intern them. They are a defeated army which has fled across the border. If they are allowed to fly out then they will go back to fighting. And given that they are Officers and Senior NCOs they probably have good reasons for not falling into rebel hands. Some very nasty people likely!- 54 replies

Are Thai men getting tired of foreigners with thai women?

You can always put loose covers on an old sofa - come to think of it... -

They may well take offence at a blundering drunken fool wandering around the place trying to hit on their girlfriend's! -

Well if he was a pilot then he would have made sure everyone knew he was a pilot within 5 minutes of entering. What is the old joke - how do you know the man at the cocktail party is a pilot? Don't worry, he will mention it as soon as you meet him! Back on topic of course, the real solution is for white foreigners to avoid losing their tempers and attacking passing waitresses, bar girls, taxi drivers, shop assistants, people whose dogs bark in dog cafes, doctors sitting on the beach and so on. Very amiable drunk me! -

Used to be common in West Germany to mark the consumed drinks on a beer mat, which you took to the waitress at paying up time. -

Obviously never spent time living in an RAF mess! -
Time, and it's delineation is culturally very different to the Thais. For them, in all activities except those driven by "worldwide norms", notably aviation and broadcasting, the hour and not the minutes are what matters. So something which is supposed to happen at "10 o'clock" means any time during that hour. Time does not seem to bother them, and they can be remarkably patient - except when driving!

Well, he was allegedly waving an axe - but then the normal pistol on a coppers belt would be sufficient! As for the SWAT overalls, ballistic helmets, and assorted weaponry; over the top, but when it is your turn to hold the keys to the dressing up locker it would be a shame to waste the opportunity!

My heart pumps purple piss! -
Yes. But there does seem to be on this board a small but determined cohort who enjoy the mechanics of deporting those less fortunate than themselves. They can always justify it of course - but then schadenfreude is always so much more fun if it is justified! I sense a business opportunity - a viewing gallery at the Airport Immigration Detention Centre. Perhaps premium customers could pay for accompanying the expellee on their walk of shame to the aircraft? Could be a money spinner!
