This one is my favorite: "the less contact they have with others, the easier it will be to manipulate them."

One such 'poor, undeveloped' country blighted by 'organized religion' and a plethora of buffaloes having passed medical exams is the USA.

Something in the name...

Why nobody want to marry in Bangplad district hall?

This guy got off easy. Well done, Cambodia!

Ya think?

"whichever way your pleasure tends, if you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind."

May the souls of all those he murdered, face down in the mud, summary execution style, take some cold comfort from what is about to ensue. Alas, it would have been sweet revenge to have him turn up inside a Thai jail, where survivors of his genocidal 'anti-drug' pogroms could have given him a 'hot' luk thung welcome, complete with his prefered 'nang yang' (sit the burning tire) ending, but this will have to do, for now...

Good luck to you and your clients, PAPPA

They should tripple their prices. Those that don't like it should stay back at Bondi. Those that won't pay should 'bpai nang yang.'

Surely, Trond, you are well positioned to cash in on all this activity...

OK Bergen, call off your hounds and get back to the cafe!

Requiat in pacem.

You were always an inspiration through my darkest days up Nam Yuen way, old friend. "Fare thee well now; you let your life proceed by its own design."

Errrr...isn't the TOT supposedly such a 'body or bodies,' at least in theory?

This issue was resolved over 40 years ago at Den Hague. The temple is on Khmer territory. Nothing to resolve anymore.

Blue Cross will work well though you may have to front some of the fees. They will be more than happy if you opt to have your medical services in Thailand as its much cheaper for them. (More important, you will be more than happy as you'll get much better medical care, full stop). I had major surgery at the government hospital in Ubon Ratchathani about eight years back. I had a UK-trained surgeon, a pristine facility, nurses, well, you know THAT score, and then a bill of maybe THB16,000 all in, and way better work than I've had done in either US or Hong Kong (private) hospitals. Reimbursement by Blue Cross came quicker than my minimum payment was due to the credit card I used to front the bill. Another option for excellent worldwide coverage is AIA out of Hong Kong, which has a Thai operation, and also offers a 'rider' to cover you during time actually spent in the US, as opposed to paying Blue Cross, which bases your premiums on the assumption that all your care will happen in the US (and which profits obscenely from your decision to have some of your needs taken care of in Thailand). I hope to hear how you get on. Good luck!

Wonder if that would work on bin laden

After 15 years in various places in Thailand, most of SE Asia, HKG & Taipei I chanced to live in Pakse, Lao PDR for a while and I have to say the place might be the best of the lot. Techno I hope you do make it permanent so when I move the family back to Pakse in a few years we can look you up for current intel & a few beer Lao!

Way cool, Timeoutgelato, thank you! Please keep it working. And maybe the staff could occasionally come out and 'wai' for us on cam? KKMK!

What a pack of self righteous t_wats! Most especially the w_anker who brags of having 'locked up drug dealers for years.' Here's hoping he meets up with one of his former supplicants on a dark, deserted soi some night on his way home from a pleasant meal

Brilliant post. Please keep them coming. Thank you webfact.
