Excellent post Villagefarang. Best I've read on this forum in ten years. At last someone who knows what's going on.

In Topic: British Man, Wife Murdered In Thai Resort

It was the front page story in the Thai Rat newspaper a couple of days ago.
According to the article the intruders used the spare room key which they sneaked in and got from the check in desk in the middle of the night. They strangled the woman and later bashed her with a piece of wood, probably a piece of a broken chair. They wrestled the man onto his stomach and then bashed his head to pulp with a hard object. This is how the incident was described in the article.
They made off with 5,200 baht which was divided as follows: 3,000 , 2,000 and 200. The money was to be used to buy methamphetamines (yaa baa). Staff remember seeing the couple wearing gold but apparently none was found.
The killers used the term," phu dii" (upper class types) to describe their victims.

Thanks is due to Thanong for articulating the PAD view of western foreigners in general. A couple of years ago Sondhi wrote that Thailand should seal its borders and isolate itself for at least five years to give it time to sort out the threats from outside the country and below, down in the lower red shirt wearing class and their revered leader, Mr Thaksin.
Incredible isn't it that the PAD enjoys such strong farang support.

I've lived in a village for the last ten years and honestly I haven't heard anyone this year complaining about the air quality. It doesn't seem to bother them even if it makes them cough and have sore eyes. It's beyond their control like everything else.
