Police Bust Illegal Poker Operation in Koh Samui, Arrest Five
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Koh Samui News
The raid resulted in the arrest of five individuals: four foreigners and one Thai citizen. The foreign nationals were identified as Mr. Aleksandr (Russian), Mr. Ruslan (Ukrainian), ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back home, they are at war. Here, jointly operating underground gambling site. They are kind of ultimate War Protesters? LOL. -
Probably knowing better than you, at least. Lists of the phenomenon that can cause sea surge: Eruption of the undersea volcanos. Undersea quake(cause of the Tsunami on Dec.26, 04). Crustal movement on the ocean floor. Very rarely, mass landslide from the mountain can also make it happen(just like the case of Lituya Bay, in Alaska). And the max speed of Tsunami travel is 800km. Deeper the ocean, faster they become. It will travel as fast as 800km max. Often several waves hit the coastal regions, not just once. So stay alerted after the first one, it's not the end.

Hello, Rob, Thank you very much for your kind reply with up-to-date details. Proof of flight-out, means the boarding pass of the plane you used to temporarily leave PHL(short for the country name)? Regarding Cambodia, I have also studied requirements for their retirement visa several years ago. I was quite surprised to find out I only have to be over 55; only need to produce my passport (other than ID photo, application form and fee). Also learned Cambodia govt encourage foreigners to lodge their paper through travel agents(rather than in-person application at the department). Very glad to know the condition has not been changed at all. Since I am already over 55, looks quite easy to move to Cambodia when something wrong might happen here (no longer able to stay on in Thailand). I thank you again your advice. Wish you have a good day, from Thailand.

Flood of Crack Reports Follows Bangkok Earthquake
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Hi, bamboo houses like this? I bet their light weight waived the tremor. Heavier and taller the buildings are, greater impacted by the quake. Just like a little child has better chance of survival in case of plane crash, than bigger heavier adults. -
Flood of Crack Reports Follows Bangkok Earthquake
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
It is amazing that quite a few newer buildings in BKK damaged while nothing happened to my apartment in Chiang Mai(over 50 years old). Chiang Mai is a lot closer to the seismic center though. -
British Man Dies After First Muay Thai Fight on Koh Samui
black tabby12345 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Koh Samui News
Hi, thank you for posting additional information related to Muay Thai. Several years ago, a friend of mine(young man in his mid 20s, from the N/America), was attending M/Thai school nearby. He said that K/Boxing comes with greater danger(even more than western boxing), so that the whole match has only 5 rounds(instead of 8-12). After he completed his course, he stood on the ring as the "professional" a few times. Fortunately, he won all of the matches involved, and safely came back without injuries. Even though I have never done any boxing myself, I still know about its common aftereffects; punch drunk syndrome(caused by internal brain damage). Symptoms are: chronical headache, nausea, numbness, loss of memory and balance, and dementia etc... I thank you again for good talk with you. Have a nice day. -

Clinton sounds off about donald stupidity

Her husband, the 42nd president, was the man of loose flyer, and the gun-grabber (banned detachable magazines for semi-autos over 10 shots 1994-2004). But never exercised this much lunacy as DT.
