indeed, in our village they are always asking for donations for "the temple"  but why it is always via the poo yai ban?   We also see "monks" from much further afield  , usually accompanied by unsavoury looking characters on the scrounge for cash or rice,   she always gives a small amount "just in case its genuine" 

that  " ginger" aussie guy should bin the shades and buy a hat   lol

The event was overseen by provincial governor Mr Chusak Ruaying, district chief Mr Ekaphop Sophon, and provincial development officer Mr Ong-art Songthummin, who joined hands with local officials to coordinate, sort, and dispatch the relief supplies to.........

their friends and family.   (must be the good stuff judging by the thumbs up by the uniformed guy)

Where is their military ration they are supposed to get on daily basis?

Probably sold by the Generals in charge to the Cambodians.

 

I suspect that, due to corruption, the military stores of MREs were long-ago poached and sold off to line someone's pockets. 

This is what happened to Russian troops when they invaded Ukraine, their food stores were either empty, or packed with rotten food 10-years past their shelf life.

What are you hiding? Why are you wearing dark glasses?  

Low self-confidence, or just a poor decision?

 

I could not get past the hair !

He would still get a pull if his visa was not renewed.

I remember when the Tsunami hit Phuket and some bright spark said the needed Work permits jing jing, 

I think as well when the Wild Boars were trapped in the Cave the uk rescue team were delayed due to work permits or visa issues at the beginning.

Looks like the Generals will be dining on some rice dishes tonight.  Now that his picture is in the media, I hope the Aussie doesn't have any plans to visit Cambodia any time in the near future.

As it happens, myself and Mrs. T, took supplies to a collection point where we live...🤗

 

Can I get a headline, yes, I am in a photo.......?   🤭...................:clap2:
