  1. I agree with you... most county jails and prisons here in the US are way to comfy for the prisoners, Most let you have cell phones, cigarettes, pretty much anything you want.
  2. The TOT is always talking about how many visitors Thailand will have for this or that event. Houston Rodeo and Livestock show had 2.4 million visitors last year. Jus saying.
  3. Exactly.. Farlangs have this fantasy where all monks live in caves, starving to death, contemplating their navel. I'm saying if the local population who regularly visit these monks at their temples, have no objection with monks owning computers, cell phones, cars, then who are we to complain and tell them how their monks should behave.
  4. police investigation that suspects involvement of someone close to the victim. Really?
  5. Interesting that almost all the e-cigarette paraphernalia here in the US is made in Thailand.
  6. He's going to have long lost relatives coming out of the woodwork like termites. ha ha ha ha
  7. The incident has prompted Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt to order the temporary closure of the hotel to ensure the building meets safety standards. A little late.
  8. I'm surprised they weren't charged with stealing jobs from Thai women. Isn't that one of the Thai people only jobs?
  9. Pretty sure I was in the same hotel and felt that sway. I had got lucky, myself and a friend was in Bangkok and undecided whether to go to Phuket or Pattaya for a couple of days. We picked Pattaya for the golfing. Whoa..
  10. I find it totally amazing how good those doctors are at the Police Hospital.. they take a man who's dying and bring him back to the peak of life. They probably deserve Nobel prizes for this miraculous event.
  11. $10,000 baht isn't going to go very far.
  12. Me... every time I hear that word, I think Mobsters.
  13. Women touching a monk is a no no, men is ok.
  14. Becoming a monk for a week or 2 to make merit for your dead grandfather should be looked at. About half the problems brought into a temple are from these quick in and out monks. They virtually don't learn anything about how to be a monk or the Buddhist religion.
  15. I think there are a lot of the Buddha's teaching's that are always going to be confusion for us. Since the Buddha didn't speak English and it was a hundred years or so after he died before anyone thought to write down these teachings, I'm sure a lot of them were misconstrued. Same as the teachings of Jesus.
  16. Wouldn't have happened if this had been a Shao Lin monk. 😁
  17. "violations of donation laws" what the heck does this even mean?
  18. In Texas also. I live out in the country, shotgun blasts going off is nothing. Usually shooting at crows.
  19. I think half is too much,, but he should have paid the guy something for his time.
