This would allow you to have a two way link. Cool!

Since when can a Farang be trusted? On top of that, it was a very inconvenient truth for the powers that were at the time being

MMM, missed those Waerth, Berlin isn't too bad tho, it seems to be a pre-reunion German map is being used.

Stuttgart and Munich also have interesting locations. I see your point a bit better now.

Besides an odd location for Madrid and the names Biemingham and Mascow, I don't get it. Who cares, to a degree, what country they're in, as long as the location is right, right? Also looks like here's not much space for country names.

Do you really think that the stops at the underground map for London are at the exact location the underground map tells you, or any underground map with stations on it for that matter? This is about 200% more accurate than any underground map. Just my 2 satang worth

Needed to transfer on a regular base between DM and SVNB, only once had a cabbie not turning on the meter, but since I was talking Thai all the time, once we arrived at SVNB, she asked for a normal price.

SVNB is a lot better than MNL for instance, that must be one of the worst airports in the area!

It may have been this one. I vaguely recall something about burn marks, unless I'm just imagining thing.

That's the one! A far cry from JTH :-)

Jim Thompson didn't come to Thailand until shortly after Japan surrendered. He built his home later from 3 or so old houses. Maybe one of them had been damaged? Never heard that though.

 

p.s. Both the RAF and the USAAF bombed Thailand, hitting targets of military use. The Allies agreed to spare Hua Lamphong, since the Free Thai underground was helping them, though the railyard was plastered and area around it (mostly wooden houses) were almost all burned. The Makasan and Bang Sue yards were major targets, and the station on the Thonburi side was obliterated. The Seri Thai were making regular weather reports to India to help the bombers on their missions. They guided them to Don Muang, where they were only supposed to strike the Japanese warplanes. But the pilots got a bit gung ho and destroyed the RTAF planes as well. Also, they were supposed to leave one of the city's 3 power plants intact. Instead, the bombers destroyed all three - leaving the city without power or water. The Seri Thai weren't too happy about that.

OK, fair enough. During one of my first visits to Thailand, I visited some tourist destinations in BKK and one of the wooden buildings had burn marks from a bombardment, just remembered this as being JT house, but that obviously was a mistake.

American bombs? Jim Thompson house got damaged and some burns can still be seen there, if I remember correctly.

Animal is awesome!

Four Lions 2010

Probably already mentioned here but a funny movie, touching on the current attacks in Paris and the Boston marathon. Hilarious at times and serious as well

Four Lions

from a trusted source it has been revealed that two Burmese workers escaped quietly from Samui prison, hanged the Frenchman and as quietly went back to prison, to avoid any consternation.

Major General Captain Admiral Cheerleader Vice Consul General Secretary Colonel Somchai neither confirmed or denied the story, since otherwise the foreign press might see this as a confirmation that the RTP might be looking for a scapegoat.

My fave version of this song, initially rejected by the Coasters and made into a smash hit by the Clovers.

The picture is ace!

Alcohol ; legal drugs

Well you make a good point, where does respect whilst in another country for other cultures beliefs and customs begin and end.

How about start and end at both sides?

Yep, typo

Not so famous, the original, first flag over iwo Jima

Very famous, the 2nd flag over Iwo Jima

It seems the British families of the two victims have been shown 'convincing' evidence by the UK police.

Hi,

 

"The Uk police may come under pressure from the FO to tone down any criticism because of tne diplomatic consequences."

 

 

I seriously doubt they will come up with any evidence that contradicts the Thai police's conclusions.

 

Sanuk!

Yes in eye of the 'officially party' line but a think a big no no from what evidence they really gathered
