East Turkestan or as the occupying Han maoist empire calls it Xinjiang, is actually a separate country, independant until the Chinese noticed "it has always been China, just like Tibet, most of the Pacific and and and...", ethnically NOT chinese, language very very different, not even same language family, and a long history of it's own, including an Indo-Iranian part that goes back min. 3500 years. An estimated 2 Million of them are currently in concentration camps for wearing beards, praying in public, standing on street corners or just looking suspicious, then working as slaves in the Chinese run cotton industry or at a VW factory in Xinjiang, a fact VW does not like published. Their flag is a bright blue with a white halfmoon and their language and ethnicity a turkmen-kasach origin. And if caught illegal or semilegal in Thailand they get deported to commie China where in general they are sooner or later sentenced to death for ....hmmm, usually being Uighur is enough. Maybe not if they wave the little red book .

Trying hard to remove all that made Bangkok charming and unique and all that made one feel freer that elsewhere will not turn it into a new organised and fair Singapore. The corruption, the pigheadedness, the xenophobia, the pollution and dysfunctions, taxi and meth criminality and bureaucracy especially for expats remain and will always................now simply without charm compensation.................soon all bargirls will be banned to brothels and taxed (never forget the mulah!) , CCTV will be stuck to every corner including automatic reports to the Chinese embassy and China will demand more market for casinos and cars (with automatic reports back to the embassy) and triads and dumped bads, sorry, goods, and and and......

CHIANG MAI ??? How long have you been here. Just give it a week until the floods have dried out and the mud is dust for a first taste, then wait for December and the succeeding months.................enjoy AQI up to 600 ......................does wonders for one's COPD or bronchitis.

.....every parliament on the planet, just in most they have already got so used to the "material" they are letting out uncontrolled that it does not make news headlines, actually I wonder if..................................naw, can't be...........

the last I heard on that was that the rather substantial reduction of the 360% tax and duty on wine (being the preferred liquid of the foreign devil......and a certain x-PM - if over 100k/bottle) would go out the window right away...........well 1) right away is not really translatable and 2) the supermarkets will have a say in the end price. They do it in all western countries, raising all consumer prices way beyond the inflation rate and forgetting to lower them again when inflation is down. Oh what joy to be a neoliberal capitalist today, licence to print money and we all buy the paper and ink and provide the labour too.

...........Happy Ending..............?

No, surely not.

Chinese? Because if European or Yank the article would say. If he uses a public or hotel toilet the deed would land more or less in the same spot, only later because it has to wind it's way through the canalisation. A clear Monopoly playing card: "Do not go past the sewage clearance plant, go straight to the pipes and out to sea".

Probably a Palestinian whose house and facilities have been bombed because Hamas was hiding in the toilet.......oooops, was only his kids, but who cares, right?!

sentence should stop after "job" period.

.........and there aren't many nice farang around any more either, the easy going, open pocketed, slender good looking youngish single with humour and tolerance...............

None of this nonsense was ever neccessary before the floods of Maoist and russian triads, mafia or lone misrangers . Not neccessary now either but TIT and as most cou7ntries tell their citizens to distract from government misdeeds : the foreigner per se is bad. As we can not put them on chains we must find other methods . To all normal tourists and expats ( est. 98% of them) : choose destinations with your feet..........and wallet.
