I don't know someone who want this as a present!!! When you consider the copious selfies with persons famous, and the accumulated face and barami back 'ome, it's probably worth it to a certain type of status-conscious Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the German immigration officers would be laughing. Hey Hans did you hear the circus is in town? Franz, who are they and where they from? Oh, they are from that laughing stock of south-east Asia Thailand who brings 13 people to arrest 1monk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that Thais in general (or those in government) are aware that so many people consider them to be a complete joke? It's just that to me, they seem to take themselves ever so seriously...

Well looking at that 13 people to collect 1 Monk you have to be scratching your head would you not? Considering in most countries if they want to extradite a mass murderer to another country or state 2 detectives seem to handle that ok. The mind boggles why do they need so many?

I believe that people who have the choice should refuse to live in what is palpably a delusional state and at least try to be more mainstream in their beliefs. That after all, would be normal outside of the 3rd world (or 'developing' world to use the more modern and politically correct expression). It's a genuine concern I really cannot tell, and that vexes me, hence the question. Share and learn - right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
