Poor sucker.  So young, and his life is over.  Are his chances of avoiding the death penalty any better in Malaysia than they would be in Singapore?

I say hang him for stupidity....the penalities in both Singapore and Malaysia are very well know and it is known the sentances are carried out, so why would someone be so stupid enough to even try it on

Wouldn't it be nice if his remorse went as far as to paying for a holiday like he won for the cheated students?

Thaksin Sinawatra yesterday reiterated his wish to end his life in exile

Can't one of his bodyguards lend him a weapon, so that he can make his wish come true, or should they give him the phone-number of 'The Samaritans' ? Posted Image

My general observation is that in case a Thai is presented with some sort of criticism from a Farang, they usually think we're utter idiots. Don't get me wrong here now, I'm just stating my opinion, but I have been in hundreds of business situations where completely inexperienced people dispute experts, who bring 30 years of experience to the table, with comments and ideas so utterly stupid one wonders of there's even a brain inside the skull. I have been in situations where people begin to look around for hidden cameras to see if they're in a bad episode of the candid camera. This is in the banking world.

It's not only about face in these business situations. Countless are the moments I have overheard Thais talk about experienced skilled people as if they were complete morons, when in fact it's the other way around.

I have lived and/or worked in countries all over the world. In no place have I experienced the same kind of unmotivated arrogance towards foreigners and their knowledge as I have done in Thailand. In many cases it's been almost farcical. I'd say this obvious unwillingness to listen and accept others knowledge is the primary reason this country will remain a development country.

If you've lived here for a couple of years you know exactly what I mean: Thais are superior in every aspect. Farangs are stupid morons.

+1

Bendix had a point about governments keeping the masses down but he has picked on the wrong governments.......it's not the West that is at fault here, it's the Thais.....and they compound their lack of knowledge with gross stupidity and arrogance of a breathtaking order.

why only American warning , any other embassies sent their warning ? soundds strange !

The Americans looking after themselves again! What's that saying again?......"When the going gets tough, screw you"..
Oh come on now. The mailing list for the US embassy is to Americans. Would the Russian embassy be sending messages to Brazilian citizens?

I will stick up for the Yanks on this one. Call your own embassy and ask them if they have heard about this warning from the US embassy. It's not the US' Embassy that is supposed to notify Brits, Australians etc...
