Trivia - Thailand has Gold in the Beijing Olympic Games
Although not the first gold ever won by Thailand,
This is pretty big deal.
Yesterday, Nong Kay (Premwadee very-long-surname) has won gold in the women's weightlifting breaking the world record in her weight division (56kg class). She will now be the subject of a media frenzy and become the hotest girl in Thailand (in a manner of speaking) ;) I would be really scared of a girl that strong.

Normally I think of Thai girls as little things that you can lift with one arm. Now here is a little Thai girl that could carry me with no problems at all.
Nicholas Cage movie in Bkk
Just happened to run across a trailer for an upcoming Nicolas Cage movie call "Bangkok Dangerous". It looks interesting. From the trailer I would say it is about a hit man who falls for a Thai girl while doing a job in BKK. Sounds like what happens to a lot of us on this forum.

Thai King top Forbes List
Thai King Bhumibol is said to worth about $35 Billion, making him the world's richest royal. He is getting up there in age so hopefully some more of his wealth will be distributed out in some form to the masses, especially to those people with thier young kids sitting on the sidewalks of Bkk begging. Like the good ole USA and other opulent nations, there may be a lot of poor people in Thailand but this country is far from being poor.
