Some one has abducted the Karen Long Neck people from North Thailand. In the same week I saw that the long necks are coming to Pattaya, coincident?

I do not know really how you kidnap 11 Thai people and the Thai police start a manhunt with no borders. Well the problem is that the Thai government never wanted to give the Long Neck Thai passports they only want to use them for tourist money.

Now that the Long Necks are gone the people that used to make profit from the Long Necks are crying for the government to bring the Long Necks back to them so they can make more money from them.

Let’s see if they went to Burma or Laos or are we will see them as a tourist attraction in Pattaya and if you want them to stay in Thailand I suggest you give them a Thai passport that they really deserve.

A new cyclone is moving in on Burma coast even if it’s not as powerful as the last one it will hit hard on the people that not have any food or shelter now.

Charity Oxfam thinks that maybe 1.2 million people will die in cause of the old Cyclone and urge Burma to let aid and aid workers more quickly.

Burma’s government is also forcing people to buy water and food that should be free and ask people to take old food and keeps the new food they got from USA and UN.

The Thai government has gone out with travel warning for the same eastern region as last time:

Tak, Kamphaengphet, Phicit, Nakhon Sawan, Prachin Buri, Chachoengsao, Chumphon, Ranong, Phangnga and Phuket.

If you are on any island in the region and also Samui and need to travel in the next days go back to the main land now or you might risk to get stuck for a few days.

The UN thinks that as many as 120 000 people have died during the storm that hit Burma last week.

The government of Burma does not help things by blocking foreign aid and confiscating aid shipments and selling it for profit.

Many people that survived the horrible storm are now dieing by dirty water or staving to death in the wait of help that never comes.

People should put much more pressure on for example China and Thailand that support the government in Burma to accept aid.

But now the worlds eyes have change target and people are now looking at China where 12 000 people died so far during the worst earthquake in 30 years.

Over 200 people have died in Burma close to the border of Thailand from the hurricane sweeping in from the sea. The power and water has been out in Rangoon when the winds turned into 190 km / hour. Cyclone Nargis is now moving into Thailand but when it moves over land its losses power but there is still a Travel warning.
