Temple fairs, deafning music, young girls dancing, drinking, rubbish for sale. Thai Buddhism at its best!

Who tells that there are no attractive religions? Can you let me have the address.

When you have been in Thailand for more than 5 minutes you will come to understand these things.

Been many years and still am amazed at things possible here and anywhere for that matter.

I personally went to one of these "temple" fairs and came across an exhibition of really young Thai ladies dancing provocatively with very little clothing on and I did a double take. Could not believe this was taking place on temple property. It had one of the largest audiences of any display there.

Living here you take the bad with the good. Its like that around the globe today. Young people have to see more in their future than what is seen today to give them hope. I have no desire to change places with them.

Happened at a temple fair.  How ironic in an extreme  Buddhist country!!!  Pride in your school is one thing but in many cases these are fights between competing technical colleges where there brats are meant to be training to get jobs.  About time a few teachers went to jail for 10-20 years for inciting some of this violence.

From the Army! why would you bother going to Cambodia for something you can get down the street. It's been that way for over 50 years.

 

This is a picture from authorities show Red shirt weapons seize after April 2014 from Khon Kaen terrorist model.

In red circle you can see a french made weapon PM MAT 49, in the region only Vietnam and Laos have use it. These weapons come from outside of Thailand

Thanks for that.  I looked and it does not give a motive, however  31 & 24 are a bit old for tech college kids who frequently do this sort of stuff.   Be interesting id\f any journo bothers to report any more on it.  Or will it be "Next story please?"

I hope the dummies are using dummy grenades. Would not like to witness a repeat of this sad affair.

That´s what I always been saying. Teenagers are inventive and prepared people in Thailand. Who knows when a hand granade in the pack pack can come in handy.

Indeed. Don't take a knife to a grenade fight.

Did you test to see if it worked ?

Probably not.  Might have sold it to some guys from Chacheongsao.

Dodgy area, according to the missus, who comes from the province, where shootings and serious violence are not uncommon. 

My wife agrees.  Her employer put her there about 20 something years ago and it was a very dangerous area.  Even more violence and shootings then than now.

The old worn out "Thai Buddhism" thing again. Are you really that dull? Of course none of this stuff goes on in Christian countries.

 

The Church of England at its best! French Catholicism at its best!

 

Meathead.

Don't think i can ever recall a shoot out, rape , grenade attack or even a fist fight at my local village fete, where everybody respected each other and had fun.

Yes, although the local media rarely report the fact a quick google search and an article on this troubling problem is easy to find. Read and be enlighten or pretty scared as I am after reading it.

in Bangkok u find several gunshops...i think it is easy to just walk in and buy a gun no blackmarket needed....where government does nothing to protect its citizens and police spend 90℅ of their time to collect bribes from criminals so they can operate in the semi open ( boiler rooms, child prostitution, drug rings etc etc ) in a place like this u need to have a gun to protect ur home...sideeffect is a high homicide rate a natural outcome...signs of an archaic  society structure no nanny /gay/ lefty /greeny / newspeak / political corectness / state here...thats why many are loving it... better a few homicides a day than anything Europe has to offer 

[phantomfiddler]

This guy was 18 years old and had been in jail 20 times, a total sociopath ! Take him round the back of the police station and send the parents the bill for the bullet !

Lights on motorbikes are not required as this comes under the heading of road safety

Road safety was cancelled some years ago due to lack of interest

Note to self: Avoid Temple fairs until they screen everyone through metal detectors. ?

Well my daughter's uncle (about 30 years old) just built a rifle out of bits and pieces for shooting game out in the rice paddy fields. Making a grenade would be simple for him. The way of the world
