Do you like the Thai language or the Cambodian (Khmer) language better? Just in general what sounds better to you?
I personally think the Khmer language sounds better because it is stronger and sharp, but my friends like the Thai language better because it is softer. You can tell this difference from their music styles too.
So Thai language or Khmer Language? =)
Thanks.

Dear friend,
You want to know why Khunying Photdjaman went to see Pa Prem, and what they talked about?
Khunying had a message to be passed on the King of Thailand through Pa Prem. The bargain of Thaksin is:
•As for the hidden shares, he will return ten billions to Thailand and pay penalty. In return, no jail sentence.
•As for other small technical mistakes he will pay compensation to the State, five billion baht.
•As for causing disunity and division among the Thai people, he is very sorry. He was well meant. He will create a Foundation for Peace and Unity in Thailand with five billion baht.
•As for having created heavy concern to the King Himself, he is extremely sorry, promise to wear the yellow shirt all his life, and ask for Royal Pardon. Besides, he will contribute to Royal Projects ten billion baht.
•As for the Thai Rak Thai, he will dissolve it into thin air. He and his former associates will not have any role or activity in politics for five years.
•He loves Thailand and the Thai people. He is home sick. He wants to live in peace, play golf, go shopping from time to time to Paragon and eat khuitiaw in a normal restaurant. He will do normal business, pay takes by the new rules, and visit monks. (Since his wealth has greatly diminished he will not be able to make much merit in thambuns for a few years).
•Briefly: he pays, he gets Royal Pardon, and no jail for him. He promises to be a good boy from now on.
That was the message of Mr. Thaksin to Pa Prem for the King.
Khunying Photdjaman only said she khit thing Thailand very much, was not pleased with Harrods, and did not like English tea. Therefore she hoped to be back soon in Thailand with 100 pieces of luggage and another 100 of small shopping gifts for the new government members, to show their gratitude.
This simple request took only fifteen minutes.
Pa Prem did not say anything, only that he would pass the message to the King.
End of the visit.

If so…Sawadee krap! ^_^

Have you ever met an old friend that you just realized…..changed? I did.
There was this best friend of mine when I was in high school and early college who are very nice, and we did everything together. Especially since we both are such a geek and flirty as well.
I just met him again today after a long time. He was very busy with work and all and we never chat anymore. I also saw his profile in many sites like myspace, facebook and all, and from his pictures, his lists of friends, and all, it looks like he changed, to become more…..club life.
Yeah, apparently his new life consists of having fun in Thailand with friends, getting drunk and all, which he would never done previously. I don’t know. I wanted to say that he has changed, turning into something……unapproachable to me, but I felt like it would just turn him further. He also changed, from nice and chatty, to quiet, and seem uninterested in everything.
I felt so sad after I saw him. I don’t know what should I feel about him, I just felt…..lower than him. Have you ever feel this way?

I like country surroundings more than cities. I know Pattaya is bigger but people say it’s less commercialised. I did find Patong not too commercialised.

I saw the new year party photographs of Thai office girls. See the pics at http://www.bangkokbaby.com/bangkok-city/…
I thought some girls pretty. But other? What do you guys and gals think?

I was working in Thailand a while back and the only English language channel on the TV in my hotel was Fox News. It was like watching a non-stop infomercial for George W. Bush. And the antics of that Bill O’Rielly character almost made me gag.
I wonder how many Americans actually sympathize with this guy, because it would be easy for many foreigners whose only glimpse of American culture is Fox to actually think all Americans are like him. If that is the case, no wonder so many people around the world want to take a crack at the US.

Taksin and His Wife are defind from Thailand’s law court has
to evade tax but he and his wife are immigrate in london
and them tring to many people , he and his wife are pleaded innocent
but Thailand’s law court have double standard
for to threaten he and his family.

Well, I am talking about bar girls, escorts, prostitutes in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, etc.
Do you really think they have no choices? Why they choose to be prostitutes rather than sell food on the street like normal people?
Well, please don’t tell me they were kidnap and were forced to be one because I don’t buy that, 500,000-2,000,000 protitutes in Thailand all were kidnap. I am a Thai lady and born and raised here and never seen such incident????

I’m American born in Hawaii but have some Thai ancestry and while visiting Thailand I have to say that the beaches there in Phuket were arguably even better than many Hawaiian and Australian beaches and a lot cheaper too almost like a traveler’s secret.

Prof. Tejatat Tejasen*
“I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means.”
He Makes Shahadah!
Professor Tejatat Tejasen is the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy at Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Previously, he was the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the same university. During the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Professor Tejasen stood up and said:
“During the last three years, I became interested in the Quran…. From my study and what I have learned from this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran fourteen hundred years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means. Since the Prophet Muhammad could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who relayed this truth, which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the one who is eligible [as the] creator. This creator must be God. Therefore, I think this is the time to say La ilaha illa Allah, there is no god to worship except Allah (God), Muhammadur rasoolu Allah, Muhammad is Messenger (Prophet) of Allah (God). Lastly, I must congratulate for the excellent and highly successful arrangement for this conference…. I have gained not only from the scientific point of view and religious point of view but also the great chance of meeting many well-known scientists and making many new friends among the participants. The most precious thing of all that I have gained by coming to this place is La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah, and to have become a Muslim.” http://scienceislam.com/scientists_quran…

I have just returned from a month long trip to Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
During my first week in Kuala Lumpur on my second day I had the unpleasant experience of stepping on a broken beer bottle I didn’t really pay attention to it at first till I got back close to my hotel I noticed the bleeding, I went to clean it up and saw a piece of skin in the wound which was brown and I am white this made my stomach turn a bit good thing I had my tetanus, Twinrex and typhoid shots before leaving I told my self.
But then about 3-4 days later I started to feel strange it started with extreme sweating while sleeping follow cold chives, shaky hands and feet/legs and after consuming alcohol my neck would get very warm to the point where it felt like it was burning up and sweating, and when I would be in bed my mid abdomen would be in pain right across.
I had sharp muscle pains in my arms and a local spot on my lower spin and dry mouth.
10 days later I was in Bangkok, I still had these strange feelings but my hands were shaking so much that I decided to start my Malaria medication just to be on the safe side I thought, since during my time in Malaysia I had travel to the lower and more forest parts of Malaysia.
Now a month later I am still sweating while sleeping but it’s not every night and my neck also feels warm most of the time and sometimes shaking hands.
History: My mom is diabetic and during my time in Kuala Lumpur I did share food and drinking glasses with friends’ form Malaysia which I know is not always the smartest thing to do! I have been checking for fever through oral and keep getting around 36.6 C
and my weight seems steady too.
But this whole experience makes my head spin and I feel like I am not my self.

I think we are freaks as we tend to make bad things happen to people when we are angry. My brother can curse somebody while I can cause physical hurt to somebody without touching them.
My brother, 1st time: Our family had to move house and my brother didnt want to. We had this house before and knew our neighbours really well but we decided to move back in. My brother didnt want to and got really upset. Then when we came, after a few weeks, my brother flew into a rage because of my parents and on the same day, our neighbours started to hate us because we always slam the door, but we dont.
My brother, 2nd experience: We wanted to go for a holiday to Thailand. My brother didnt want to come because we have been there 8 times. My mother dragged him along. When we were at the hotel, he got so upset and he only talked to me. On the same day, we were told that both of Bangkok’s Main airports had to be shut down and all flights were cancelled because of the Thai Protests.
MY experience: I was doing my homework at night and it was due on the next day. My father started shouting at me for doing my homework so late in the night. He yelled at me and yelled at me to grow up. I flew into a rage and I did a tantrum in my room, so nobody could see. The next morning, he had food poisoning.
So … I think we are freaks. My brother can jinx people while I can cause physical hurt without touching them. Help ?

I was out for a walk one day, and while I was sitting on a bench enjoying the view of the ocean, a beautiful woman sat next to me and was asking me questions about the area. She was wearing a short miniskirt, and I soon realized that she had “extra parts”. She noticed me looking at her, and she asked me if I wanted to go back to her hotel room to talk some more. I went with her, and we had a really really good time. We made out, and well, it led to sex (the best sex I ever had). She asked me questions about my sexuality and if I would ever consider marring a ladyboy at all. I have been bi for a long time, ever since I was 12, and I always was attracted to ladyboys. I just don’t know how this long distance relationship will work out though. She lives in Thailand, and I’m in the US. We chat constantly on yahoo, and we send each other emails. But how do I get this relationship to work? Or is what I am feeling not real due to the one night we had together? I NEED HELP AAAAAAAH!

I love fruits and vegetables much because these are good for my diet especially banana. I will share you something about banana. I received this e-mail from my friend in Japan.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a ‘cooling’ fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking & Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassiu! m and ma gnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in ‘The New England Journal of Medicine, ‘eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

BANGKOK - Much like the character that made him famous, David Carradine was always seeking, both spiritually and professionally, his life forever intertwined with the Shaolin priest he played in the 1970s TV series “Kung Fu.”
Just as the character, Kwai Chang Caine, roamed the 19th Century American West, Carradine spent his latter years searching for the path to Hollywood stardom, accepting low-budget roles while pursuing interests in Asian herbs, exercise and philosophy, and making instructional videos on tai chi and other martial arts.
Carradine was found dead Thursday in Thailand. The 72-year-old actor appeared to have hanged himself in a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel, said Lt. Teerapop Luanseng, the officer responsible for investigating the death.
“I can confirm that we found his body, naked, hanging in the closet,” Teerapop said. He said police were investigating and suspected suicide, though one of his managers questioned that theory.
“All we can say is, we know David would never have committed suicide,” said Tiffany Smith, of Binder & Associates, his management company. “We’re just waiting for them to finish the investigation and find out what really happened. He really appreciated everything life has to give … and that’s not something David would ever do to himself.”
Carradine had flown to Thailand last week and began work on “Stretch” two days before his death, Smith said. He had several other projects lined up after the action film, which was being directed by Charles De Meaux with Carradine in the lead.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, said the embassy was informed by Thai authorities that Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday.
“I was deeply saddened by the news of David Carradine’s passing,” said director Martin Scorcese. “We met when we made ‘Boxcar Bertha’ together, almost 40 years ago. I have very fond memories of our time together on that picture and on ‘Mean Streets,’ where he agreed to do a brief cameo.”
Carradine came from an acting family. His father, John, made a career playing creepy, eccentric characters in film and on stage. Half-brothers Keith, Robert and Bruce also became actors, and actress Martha Plimpton is Keith Carradine’s daughter.
“My Uncle David was a brilliantly talented, fiercely intelligent and generous man. He was the nexus of our family in so many ways, and drew us together over the years and kept us connected,” Plimpton said Thursday.
Carradine was “in good spirits” when he left the U.S. for Thailand on May 29 to work on “Stretch,” Smith said.
“David was excited to do it and excited to be a part of it,” she said by phone from Beverly Hills.
Filming began Tuesday, she said, adding that the crew was devastated by Carradine’s death and did not wish to speak publicly about it for the time being.
The Web site of the Thai newspaper The Nation said Carradine could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the rest of the film crew on Wednesday, and that his body was found by a hotel maid Thursday morning. It said a preliminary police investigation found that he had hanged himself with a curtain cord and there was no sign that he had been assaulted.
Police said Carradine’s body was taken to a hospital for an autopsy that would be done Friday.
Carradine appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby. One of his early film roles was as folk singer Woody Guthrie in Ashby’s 1976 biopic, “Bound for Glory.”
But he was best known for “Kung Fu,” which aired from 1972-75.
Carradine, a martial arts practitioner himself, played Caine, an orphan who was raised by Shaolin monks and fled China after killing the emperor’s nephew in retaliation for the murder of his kung fu master.
Pursued by revenge assassins from China, Caine wanders the American West in search of his half-brother Danny. His conscience forces him to fight injustice wherever he encounters it, fueled by flashbacks to his training in which his master famously refers to him as “Grasshopper.”
Carradine left after three seasons, saying the show had started to repeat itself.
“I wasn’t like a TV star in those days. I was like a rock ‘n’ roll star,” Carradine said in an interview with Associated Press Radio in 1996. “It was a phenomenon kind of thing. … It was very special.”
Actor Rainn Wilson, star of TV’s “The Office,” said on Twitter: “R.I.P. David Carradine. You were a true hero to so many of us children of the 70s. We’ll miss you, Kwai Chang Caine.”
Carradine reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine’s grandson in the 1990s syndicated series “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.”
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga “Kill Bill.” Bill, the worldly father figure of a pack of crack assassins, was a shadowy presence in 2003’s “Kill Bill — Vol. 1.” In that film, on

Apart from the specialized dance / rnb or drum and bass clubs, it seems like the paylist for most London clubs are stuck in 2001, I’m sick of hearing the same old tunes every single Friday or Sat night, you can practically predict what will be playing! Seeing as we’re paying extortionate prices for drinks and door charges we should at least expect to hear some different music for a change and little bit of originality.
In my opinion, London nightlife is turning into one big rip-off with bar/club owners getting lazy and booking the same djs who are too scared to experiment pumping out the same tunes night after night…I hate hearing the same old commerical crap! In Thailand some nights I heard much better music…stuff that hasn’t even reached here. I’m not sure if London deserves to be considered as one of clubbing capitals in the world anymore, seems like its stuck in the 90s right now! What’s your opinions?
