  1. Looking back in the 181-year old relationship, there were lots of mutually beneficial achievements and proud moments that have been cited time and again. For instance, the US signed the Treaty of Amity and Commerce in 1833 with Thailand, the first in Asia; King Rama IV offered a pair of young elephants, which was subsequently rejected, to US President James Buchanan; Their Majesties' historic visit to the US in 1963, to name just a few.

    Examples of the foundation of a 181 year long friendship: a treaty over 181 years old, a rejected gift, a visit over 50 years ago...must have dug deep to find these gems...did not mention Thailand's Declaration of War against UK and USA in 1942 - that would be against the point of these pointless scribbles, ja na!

  2. "However, applying for a seat means competition. We lost the competition but the support we obtained accounted for about 70-80 per cent of UN members, meaning many countries still trust and believe in us."

    ...down from how many countries in the period 2010-2013, when Thailand did win a seat?

  3. Earlier this month Thai Immigration Police discovered he was on the island, living in Plus Condominium in Kathu. They alerted the Russian authorities, who cancelled his passport on October 13, allowing him to be arrested for being in Thailand illegally

    why not cancel his passport in April when he skipped the country?

  4. I once went to the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi. There was an even mix of foreign and Thai visitors, however, I noticed that none of the Thai would got near a tiger, only the foreigners would go close up and touch the animal. So I thought, the Thais lived together with tigers in their country for a long time, maybe they know a thing or two about them...and so I declined the monk's offer to hug the beast.
