With the latest new about the castrate of the testicles, it comes up with the decision which is made by the government that the boys’ age fewer than 18 will be banned from doing the operation of cutting off their own balls. Nowadays, there are many illegal clinics in Thailand have the service to cut the boys’ testicles off even the boys’ age are under 18 years old.

The clinic claimed that most of the boys’ ages under 18 years old that come to take their service have the permission from their parents already. But anyhow, the government has already banned the boys to take this service. The number of the boys who need to cut off their balls are increasing every day and if you never been to Thailand before, I would like to give you the advice that look hard enough because the girl you like may not a girl.

I told people this over and over Thailand is not the country where you want to hide if you are on the most wanted list by Interpol, DEA or the FBI. I guess Mr Butt does not read my blog because they just caught him in Bangkok.

The Russian “merchant of death” was arrested in Thailand after American agents have been under cover for a long time telling him they want to buy weapons.

The “merchant of death” was the inspiration for the movie “Lord Of War” with Nicolas Cage.

Personally I think it was carefully planned he should be arrested in Thailand since the Americans know very well the Thai government will let him be sent off to the USA in a swish.
