all these farlangs thinking they know better, it is for the thai people to decide the outcome of there own country, not just a hand full of farlangs that know nothing.

True except those who make the decisions are in the minority population wise but part of the majority Baht wise.


Ever has it been the case.

hardly any Thais know what happened in Cambodia. None of my wifes university educated friends and none of her family or others who are a part of very poor, none of thais I know or any of the forang I know wives or their friends . Its truly amazing that the mass genicide that happened just over border is totally unknown im sure to 99% of thais. Its a perfect example of their blinkered view. We had a business in BKK and workers around did not even know what business 2-3 doors down did even though they worked there fro many years. SImply ask a Thai for directions to a place a 5 minutes away most dont know. I put it down to education system which totally suppresses any questioning or thought . That and ridiculous obsession with never loosing face. Maybe next generation will be better I certainly hope so for my families sake.

I was surprised that my missus knew about Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge - and the Killing Fields.

I was even more surprised that, on a recent visit to PP, she insisted that we go to the Killings Fields. She said that it would be wrong to come to PP on not make the visit as this was part of her (Asian) history and happened in her lifetime.

Couldn't agree with you more and no-one would argue with you on this score. What you say is old news and every Farang is aware of it.. We are as inconsequential about Thai politics as "Tits on a Boar". Doesn't prevent us Political junkies from spouting off, because that is what Political Junkies do, but we are insignificant to the max.......I have no problem with that.
