Yep alot of people enjoy Pattaya's nightlife but too many scumbags resident there, needs a good culling of scumbags

But long live the nightlife there

Have recently been wondering what has happened to all this, personally after seeing all that violence on tv sometime back has been a big contributor to what has now kept me away from Thailand. Something that deep does not go away where half the nation wear red shirts the other yellow, makings of a civil war if i have ever seen one. Would not like to be caught out there when it really kicks off!

The impression that half the country is against the other half is part of the general PR campaign.

The yellows and the Reds are rather small groups EACH taking credit for numbers way beyond their reaches.

And so after foreign editors get their hands on the text it reduces to a even simpler equation.

I live here and it's nothing as bad as some make it out to be from abroad

It's much bigger too, a rally in one part can't even be heard in another.

Except when the pundits earn their bread stoking things to talk more about.

Well last time I was in BKK, neally two years ago now, I not see any red shirts but 1000's people walking around in yellow shirts.

I appreciate there are probably alot - the majority who are center(better things to think about in there life),

but it only takes a minority to ruin it for everyone.

Its a shame that in this age, it does not take much of a disagreement for people wherever they are from or whatever side of the fence they sit to then turn to unconstrained violence.

I don't think a global bust is coming, nor do I believe this fed intervention (which was anticipated and pointed out yesterday by me)to bail out their member banks options desks is going to put a floor under this market for very long. It might though, and it would be instructive for you to look at the events of Oct 15, 1998 to confirm that.

Funny reading the thread from the beginning - looks like things are falling through the floor to me.
