Or maybe someone reported it to the police, they got a warrant and raided the place.

I realize reality doesn't always fit the Farang Fantasy Factory perception of life in Thailand, but not everything here follows the script of some B-rated Chuck Norris movie.

Gambling and sex is strictly forbidden in Thailand, but every Thai made TV show/soap opera/ crying TV shows somebody shooting somebody. Weapons as firearms are loved all over Thailand, they even show the kids how to kill, on TV. Sow the kids to make love is strictly forbidden. This does not make sense for me. What is wrong here ? Thais, so-called Buddhists loves firearms and killing, but not love and what`s following the love.
