Me surprised at your insensitve wording.

Pls to not be insulting Buhddist rituals or observances.

How do you think a SOuthern Baptist "dunk em in da river" baptism might look to a native Asian?

How often have any of you seen king cobras or tree vipers? I would be worried hiking or something away from the city.

Lol, I literally lived in the jungle and didn't see any snakes. I saw plenty of geckos, some toads, and even a walking stick. Nasty stuff.

Ugggh. I'm pretty sure I'd rather see king cobr everytime I go pee rather than another douchey, tatted up, "sokopo" farang.

PS I'm assuming that's not you ofdabeat.

Just read that :

Saudis Ban Thai Tourism...
Due to wine, women & crime

Based on an article from Arab News

Travellers and travel agents were not informed of a ban on Saudis travelling to Thailand and so many Saudis, who visited the country at the beginning of the summer, have returned to face questioning from the Kingdom’s authorities.

Thailand has for the past 12 years been on a list of countries that Saudis are not allowed to visit. The list includes Israel, Iraq and Bosnia.

Many Saudis still continue to apply for tourist visas to Thailand, which are easily obtainable. There are no direct flights from the Kingdom to Thailand. Connecting flights are available in Dubai and Qatar. The Thailand Tourism Commission states it received 9,000 Saudis tourists in 2006. People this summer have once again been asked not to visit Thailand unless for business reasons, a rule that many members of the public are unaware of.

People believe the ban has been reinforced because of men who visit Thailand to drink alcohol, visit prostitutes and then be robbed and at times murdered.

The administration has stressed that those who have travelled to Thailand as tourists and come back will be questioned about why they travelled there. They would also be prevented from travelling for six months to three years and fined SR5,000 for breaking the ban.

However, not all visitors to Thailand have been questioned on return but an employee at a travel agency said: Those who have not been questioned will most likely be questioned when they renew their passports.

LOLZA hadn't seen this.

ESP LOLZA since an uber drunk Saudi guy bought me a beer at one of the "after hours" beer cooler stands on the beach a couple of nights ago. As soon as he found I was 'Merican he couldn't stop saying "FK Bush and FK Saudi gubment! We, the peoples of the countries be friends!" He was also uber thankful that I informed his super drunk son that the "Lady" he had chosen for the evening was in fact a katoey.
