ALHOLK Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you want to read some good crime tales about Thailand, look up the books on Charles Sobhraj, the mass murderer who was killing people here in the 1970s and '80s. If I recall correctly he was from India and had killed people in other places as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 The biggest fallout from that was Thaiâ??s could no longer work in Saudi. Hence the Filipinos took over the ME completely. The Thais got Israel. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi, "The biggest fallout from that was Thaiâ??s could no longer work in Saudi. Hence the Filipinos took over the ME completely. The Thais got Israel." Reading some of the horror stories about what happens to Filipino maids in SA this may not have been a bad thing. Sanuk!

Flashermac Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 If you want to read some good crime tales about Thailand, look up the books on Charles Sobhraj, the mass murderer who was killing people here in the 1970s and '80s. If I recall correctly he was from India and had killed people in other places as well. Sobhraj was wanted for murder in Thailand, India, Nepal, Turkey and possibly some other countries. He may have killed as many as 32 people. It came out that he lived in an apartment complex only a block or two from the old Bangkok Post office. I must have walked past his place many times without knowing it! p.s. Never heard the Bahrain story before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Was actually referring to construction workers, there are many thousands of Filipinos at various sites all over SA. Not so much an issues these days as the construction business in Thailand has been booming over the past few years, but in the early 2000â??s it was a problem that Thaiâ??s could not work in SA.

cavanami Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 The Bahrain thing must have happened after 2004 or 2005, as the Thai ladies were going 120% when I was there bit have not been then in 4 years. My buddy keeps in touch with various ladies and that is the story coming back to him, that the Thai ladies are no longer welcome in Bahrain...anyone been to Bahrain lately to confirm/deny this?
