Fed up of gender equality? Western food? Soft living? Men without beards? Deodorants? Health care?

Come to Syria. ISIS understands you. ISIS wants you. And ISIS knows what you want:

Bearded, stinky men with halitosis, more than you can handle. Goats, rocks, sand, camels. Air strikes, drone strikes, train strikes.

Come to us, we fulfill your dream of becoming a living slave to Muslim psychos until you're dead. And then you're not going to Paradise, because you are not a virgin anymore...guess where you will be going according to the Koran...

when going on holiday abroad should you declare any valuable item before leaving, so you don't get hassled on your return? and where would you do that?

The article says it's purpose is rather as a status symbol and not for defense...much like a handbag..., then again, handbags have been known to fight off would-be aggressors...so, I keep an open mind about it even if it hurts from repressed mirth...

Deputy Ayutthaya traffic police chief Pol Lt Col Chanin Winin said he would consult other government agencies concerned how to deal with the issue.

Which other government agency you wanna consult? The Agency for Thainess? The Agency for I Don't Know What To Do? The Agency for Judicious Application of a Digit to a Nasal Cavity? The Agency for Scratch my Butt?

The costs of the visit will be covered by the German government.

just wondering if them officials will claim expenses anyway...

Thais as a people have to mature and grow up. They need to understand modern interdependencies and correlations. That's usually achieved by having a proper education system, a stable family/society, and by social interaction when growing up.

A culture that shuns taking responsibility for own actions, a society who is told they are perfect and can't do anything wrong, governments who are clueless on what drives development (or hamper development on purpose)...these are the wrenches in the works, pull them out and maybe the cogs start turning (if you wear the correct amulet)

I like the presence of street vendors, I just don't like the lack of planning, organization and I really don't like the filth and litter. There are other ways to do it if people care. But they don't seem to care.

There's no litter. There's no reason for it. If someone dropped litter, someone else would pick it up. The fine for dropping litter is $250 and enforced, plus it's cultural.

, plus it's cultural. You nailed that one.

Here, everybody loves Thailand to the max, it's just the culture of decorating what you love in trash.

China has right-hand traffic in contrast to Thailand’s right-hand one

that's quite the contrast

Now which one is Chalerm's head, ah, the one with the flask!

A woman offered 300 severed pig heads on platters to a Buddha statue

...then the statue spoke: "Thanks, dear woman, but I am full already, I can't manage another morsel, let alone 300 pig heads..., well if you insist, I'll give it my best shot - did you bring any ketchup?"
