Never trust a maid in a resort hotel

Judging by the photos she needed the money for a face lift.

I'd recognize her anywhere, was she picked out from an identity parade?

I dunno, certainly better looking with that head on than some of the munters I've woken up with!

News travels fast, we live in Rawai and the other day I told my cleaner about it, she knew all about it, she also said it's not good for Burmese people when things like this happen,

No harm done. Most Thais, even the highly educated ones, think/claim that (I am quoting what I heard) "all Burmese are thieves and dangerous"... (Again, none of this is my opinion.)
