Fear & Loathing In Sungai Golok

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.

Fear & Loathing In Sungai Golok

Post by wackyjacky »

It's A weird mix of Pattaya & Kabul in the party town of choice for Malaysians & Jihadis in the deep South of Thailand where 'getting bombed' has more meanings than one. LINK: http://theweek.com/article/index/273839 ... party-town

I saw that article on Yahoo. Looks like an interesting place to visit for a few days.

Islam, what a lovely religion Not! What a crazy bunch of God Fobbers.

Thirty some years ago when I first visited Thailand they had a bad problem with the Islamic jerks down south. The King said, lay down your arms and the next year I will give you land. Well, there was pictures in the news of big piles of weapons and the next year he gave them land. It now looks like there idiots are the children/grandchildren of the people that got land for peace. Maybe it would help to start offing the Imams in Malaysia and Thailand that are starting this BS.

Its kind of like the Islamic A-rabs around Israel, about every 30 years they forget that Israel can kick there ass's anytime.

what a crazy post
the troubles in the south have been going on since Thailand stole the land from the sultans way back in 1785
The former Sultanate of Patani, which comprised the southern Thai provinces of Pattani (Patani), Yala (Jala), Narathiwat (Menara)—also known as the three Southern Border Provinces (SBP)[8]—as well as neighboring parts of Songkhla Province (Singgora), and the northeastern part of Malaysia (Kelantan), was conquered by the Kingdom of Siam in 1785 and, except for Kelantan, the area has been governed by Thailand ever since.
