Thanks Puuchai and Judas but I'm still pretty angry about his death.

Because he thought that living in Thailand with Aids is just not possible.

He just could not live with the ostracism he was facing on a daily basis.

And I'm pretty sure he did not take the medicine we bought for him for that reason.

He just kept repeating he wanted to die, and he was only 27.

Another low for Thailand.

He wanted to die because you just can not live with AIDS in Thailand.

You're just worth less than a dog.

Nobody will approach you or touch whatever you touched.

Makes me angry and sad.

Just wanted to give the final update on this thread.

He died at 4 p.m. today. He was 27 years old.

Second wife in Thailand is just for sex.

Coming from Chinese culture, I think, and was legal up to the 1930s in Thailand.

But well, if they want to call it boredom

To a poor country girl you are well off, but to an educated urbanite you're nothing. That's why wealthy Thais stick together, and poor Thais leech off the stupid farang

Well, I know quite a few educated Thai girls, and a few over-educated ones, from the best universities in Thailand.

They're from Bangkok and the rest of the country.

Their problem? They want to marry, and nobody wants to marry them. Too old for most Thai men (>25 years old), too smart, too..., whatever

And marrying a farang is sure something they would consider.

And do very often these days.

But I'm also sure the 0.1% of really rich Thais stick together.

And so they do in most countries.

Good for them.

Though one but well, I'd go for this one.

Suwannaphum Airport in Bangkok

I'll make sure I'll go next time and will take a few more pictures.

I indeed forgot about it also and so did not go.

So no pictures from my side.

Maybe next year.

I think the point is that there is a concerted PR effort to make that Kuhn T. look more important than he is.

There is indeed a concerted PR effort to make Thaksin responsible for the incompetence of the present Thai government.

Oops, I sure did not read the OP post carefully, because some of the answers in this thread do not make sense to me...

Did I say irrelevant, Animatic?

Waste of time discussing about Thaksin and missing the big picture.

Not a pretty one for Thailand actually.

Well, people in Thailand should care more about Thailand than about what Thaksin is doing.

What Thaksin is doing is irrelevant these days.

But what the Thai government is doing, is.

Thailand is probably heaven for short time sex.

With quite a few other countries.

But a relationship with a Thai girl requires as much work as any relationship with any girl in the rest of the world, if not more

And indeed abortion is illegal in Thailand, as riding a bike without a helmet is, or as corruption is...

So?

Wait for the child to be born.

At least you will know whether it is yours or not...

But well, most clinics and hospitals do it.

Just contact a gynecologist in a clinic/hospital of your choice.

Buying land in Thailand is reasonably safe for Thai people.

As for foreigners, they can not buy land in Thailand, so it is safe also.

Not to buy any.

Not too sure I understand the OP.

Because the foetuses end up in a wat for cremation, you're questionning Buddhism?

This is actually respect of life, they want to give a proper burial to the foetuses that were aborted.

Not sure it is the same in most countries, where they are just discarded as garbage.

And as far as abortion is concerned, no woman wants to have one, but well, where is the father?

Everybody makes his own paradise, or hell actually.

So Thailand can be both

Had a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya river quite a few times recently and you can take quite a few pictures.

But not easy to get a good one, for whatever reason they overdo the lighting.

Here is a Christian church along the river

If he keeps on like this, I might actually end up liking Suthep.

He sure got a few bonus points in my book.

But he is starting from a low base, so won't be the winner of the most likeable politician in Thailand anytime soon

Not really.

It went wrong when I thought things could change.

We had big hopes, Thaksin was so corrupted and Abhisit sure looked good in comparison.

He was going to make Thailand a democracy the world would envy, kind of a Scandinavian country of the East.

No corruption, good welfare, education...

Ooops, where did it go wrong?

You can find very good managers in Thailand.

What is more difficult is finding international managers, i.e. Thai managers able to manage other nationalities.

The 3 matter actually, in this order:

Photographer, camera and software.

Where was it taken?
