Thai Sub Division Might Get Subs After 7 Decades !

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.

I bet their wives and families are very good at business, too.

Haha, why would you cripple your own navy by taking away their subs? I can understand taking away planes and such, but subs? It's not like they'd be very useful in a coup.

I've heard that Cambodia has 4000 generals, is this true?

I think that's inflated. Sounds unbelievable, even for Cambodia. Probably a few hundred though, which is still a total joke. Last I heard was 400 or so (I think that's what is quoted in Chandler's book regarding the mid 90s).
