Tourist jumps from 5th FL Khaosan Rd - and walks away.

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Eight men have now been charged in connection to an armed robbery at a mall jewelry store in Langley, B.C. this week.

The men were arrested Thursday after robbing the Golden Tree Jewellers in Willowbrook Shopping Centre. Shots were fired during the robbery, and a mall patron was sprayed with bear repellant when he tried to grab one of the suspects.
