This I so wrong, it's only 2 empty magazines. Yes it is easy to miss such items especially if its every day items you use. I remember finding a couple of 7.62mm rounds in a box years after they had fallen out of webbing (that box had crossed a couple of country borders. I was lucky and took then to the ranges and fired them off. It is easy thing to do. God I had drill rounds for years and tail fin of a mortar from the Falklands oh and a couple of empty magazine's in that box for years.

If this is just two empty magazines then this is way over the top.

As many eventually do myself included.

Two Burmese lads who were working in Kow Tow. That popped into my head straight away.

I've carried more cash than that but it was around my waist and with me all the time. Infact any money I carry on me (I have a reason and am not hiding anything). I do not understand anyone putting valuables in luggage unless they are hoping it gets stolen or lost and its well insured.

I think not. A funeral is very rarely a financial burden unless you go overboard with the time spent eating and what you have on the menu plus drinking before the ceremony. The money collected from everyone even the poorest leaves the next of kin in profit.

What else are they going to do? No one disputes there are tourists but there is plenty of speculation as to the true numbers.

I'm sure Siddhartha Gautama would object to Buddhism being called a religion and his spirit saddened by statues placed everywhere as he objected to both. The way you are living is correct, Buddhism is a way of life and a philosophy and from what I've read my take is its about your inner being.

Why is everyone saying this? I'm quite certain that Russia & Ukraine are not the only suppliers in the world. What we are experiencing again is that 1% using the war to increase profits as they did with cov. I've noticed in the UK 20~30% rises in lots of produce and some a lot higher. This means I've lost a third of my income. This is my fact and I can't be the only one.

The UK government's own figures shows this to have always been the fact. More data = more accuracy that's why annual flue/influenza figures are always adjusted down. Uk .gov believe it or not gives great information. I just don't understand why people believe politicians and media without first doing a .gov search.....

You need to keep up with government body and established medical journals/researchers. A very different story is starting to come out (almost the opposit in fact).

Yes they did! I am sorry but doctors and government around the world were saying this and it was used to push digital ID's. Presenters on TV in the uk especially Dr Hillery who was advising people to wear masks while swiming in the sea....... The Internet never forgets.

You have confused me (which isn't hard). I miss remembered or confused the territories gifted to thailand by the japanese for being their allie WW2. However I am correct that America prevented war retribution Thailand should have paid (they wanted influence in South Asia). Yes America ploughed vast amounts of money into thailand which I believe should have made thailand as prosperous as Japan and South Korea but the thai elites did what the thai elites do best! I still can't get it out of my head as I'm sure I've read some territories land remained the same (gifted) by Japan.

Maybe 1:45 then!

Shouldn't all tourists be treated as if they are highly welcomed visitors? If I were a millionaire I don't think Thailand would be that high on my holiday list. Roads in Thailand do not differentiate between rich or poor!!!

Assassinate is a bit strong I think. If I killed/murdered a rabid dog who had killed hundreds if not thousands of people I would be inclined to be generous with the term euthinise his ass!!!

I've read so much over the years and the glee in which many on here cheered when the tanks rolled in. If use all think taksin was currupt then he was a meer novice to this crowd. Facts scream the truth: Taksin drove the country to prosperity, one just has to look at the figures. Apart from GDP growth in double figures (I seem to remember 14%), English language skills and literacy were far higher (just look at the rankings). Under his watch the poor were far better off as were farmers plus us foreigners were treated better (English teachers pay has crashed). The attempted theft of a certain gold mine that backfired and will cost the country billions in compensation then there is the mass exodus of foreigner investment from the country in its aftermath but wait there is more shakedown of toyota over the prius which toyota just pulled the plug on. This cost the country dearly. An auto motive industry that is only one more stupid action away from leaving Thailand. Give me the Taxsins any day of the week over billionaire generals with this fact prove how currupt they are.

It's called corruption. This one is right in your face.

I never let my children out of my site even our babysitter/nanny was tole to physically watch the children ALL THE TIME!!!

Maybe im wrong so I will apologise but I'm sure I read that in the 1930's The south was part of Malaysia then Japan walked into Thailand and because Thailand joined them they thanked Thailand by giving them the southen provinces. These should have been given back to Malaysia at the end of the war but USA prevented it (declaration of war was lost in the post excuse) as well as war retribution the uk wanted. Think this post well be deleted!!!

You missed smog!

Never would as there is not many options for women who are left with a child/children: earn or starve so I will never ever decry them. My personal experience of village life was a very high percentage of the village males never seemed to work but not as many women didn't work. I would have put the figure well above 30 percent closer to 40. Just my experience (I also never worked or my wife).

This breaks my hart. Thailand used to have some of the best scuba dive sites in the world. My favourite in the gulf was Sail Rock. In my 250+ dives in the gulf what I saw was thai destruction of the seas and corals and the life there of. Anchors getting dropped on dive sites as divers below dragging across corals, discarded nets caught on coral, long-tails and boats crossing dive sites and divers below and rubbish in the sea.... I last dove there in 2007 and it was really bad then. You used to beable to see 30/40m+ on a good day. Last dives did on a good day it was but a few meters to a couple. So very sad.

The question I would simply ask is after seeing roads in Thailand being built: is that the level the road should be with the correct levels/amounts of each layer ie seal coat, surface course, tack coat, binder course, prime coat, base course, sub-base course, compacted sub-grade, and natural sub-grade. I've also never seen a road in the uk meing resurfaced with a micro sprayed layer of tar.

What has that got to do with my statement? Unless you mean prostitution is informal Labour? However, there is no prostitution in Thailand and if there were it is illegal hence criminal.......
