  1. A very sad time in Cambodia's past.
  2. He was already using a Thai woman's bank account to run the financial end of the business. Should have just registered the business with her to keep it all legal. He should have just stayed quietly in the background. Just fine him, deport him, and blacklist for 10 years.
  3. I met my Thai wife when she was a graduate student in my home country in 1979. We got married in 1982. We also have two luk krung sons. Spent 12 years living and working in Bangkok. Unfortunately, wife passed away from brain cancer in 2005.
  4. Six people arrested. Five Thais and a Ghanaian. Yet only the Ghanian showed up for the photo op. Were the five Thais camera shy?? Or perhaps those four Thai guys in the photo are part of the gang?
  5. From looking at the video it wasn't much of a "brawl" at all. One big punch pretty much ended everything.
  6. This is a messed-up system. You paid into it for all of your working life. Now that you are of age to receive it, you should be able to receive it wherever you live in the world and collect all of the steps in the system when they occur. This includes anytime that the benefit you are entitled to receives an increase.
  7. From the two photos that are posted it is very difficult to tell just what is going on and if there is some lewd behaviour. As to the female, she doesn't look like an African with her long straight hair and light complexion. The man's leg appears to be darker than her. Maybe he is African??
  8. It makes me wonder what kind of "brief and seemingly innocuous exchange of glances" were exchanged between the two groups. It obviously provoked this young man to pursue this group away from the restaurant and inflict serious harm.
  9. Still a lot of speculation on how the condo market will react.
  10. Nice to see the Americans attempting to keep up with some of the other nationalities found in Pattaya,
  11. Suan Son Pradipat Beach, also known as "Sea Pine Tree Garden," is a popular and relatively quiet beach in Hua Hin, Thailand, managed by the Thai military and known for its clean sand, shady pines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suan_Son_Pradiphat_Beach
  12. This group of despicable young males need to be put in juvenile prison for a few years and then deported to their home countries.
  13. Correct! If he was born outside of Thailand to a Thai mother you have to apply to get Thai citizenship. It's fairly easy to get issued a Thai passport for young children. Then when they turn 15 you need to apply for a Thai ID card. This what we did for our two luk krung boys.
  14. Not gonna happen. A very wide canal would be much better. This idea has been talked about for over 40 years. I doubt that would happen but with Chinese financing and some brown envelopes you never know. Thailand is always concerned that the restive south will break away from the country if such a canal were built thus dividing the country.
  15. I'm not going to hold my breath that this is going to work out as planned.
  16. I think there is a lot more to this story than what has been revealed so far.
  17. A good reason to avoid Bangkok but many parts of Thailand suffer from very poor air quality.
  18. I'm sure that this change back to only 30 days will upset a number of people that are "snowbirds" from the northern hemisphere winter.
  19. I believe there is a VFW Post in Bangkok. If not, you could contact JUSMAG and they might be able to help you.
  20. In watching the video, there was some excessive force in the beginning by what I would call "western standards". Not sure if that is considered excessive force under Thai Law for police officers in Thailand. Of course, there is a lot leading up to the incident that was not on video.
  21. Oh darn. I was so looking forward to spending a nice relaxing spring holiday in the land of The Great Leader. Perhaps I can book a holiday to the beaches of Yemen, Iran, or Somalia.
  22. Perhaps the UN Council for Human Rights should take a closer look at that.
  23. Hopefully international sanctions against Thailand will be forth coming.
