Busy week. But thankfully the Dragon is off to an undisclosed European location this weekend for a well deserved holiday. And as Mr Muscato noted, no response from the Blue City people on the recent further downgrading of Blue City bonds on the expected default - perhaps 'John' (a previous commenter and Blue City supporter and probable employee) wasn't too happy to learn they had difficulty paying his salary last month!
Meanwhile, as we all know, it is the holiday season, and there is unfortunately a
huge sex tourism trade between Oman and Thailand. Lots of Omani males go to Thailand, many of them married, and not for the temples and beaches. How much AIDS is being imported back to Oman from these people having unprotected sex? Plus, of course, the direct support being provided for the horrible trade in flesh. As far as I know, Oman have not made it illegal for Omani's to go overseas and have sex with minors either.
One 'vacationing' Omani gentleman, alledgedly a
Mr. Sulaiman Saifthani, was reported in the
Thai press yesterday as being drugged and robbed by an underage prostitute in his hotel room. Shame.
Perhaps the bigger shame was travelling halfway around the world to have sex with 15 yr old girls...

Pattaya police station received a visit from Mr. Sulaiman Saifthani to report that he had just been drugged and robbed of his possessions by a beach prostitute.

The incident happened on the evening of the 21st July when the 41 year old tourist from Oman took a woman to his room for fun and games. In all the excitement, she somehow managed to drug him with some substance causing him to fall unconscious, only to wake up to find that his wallet containing 9,020 US dollars, 8,000 baht and an expensive wrist watch valued at 30,000 baht were all missing. After searching through the criminal record file, he identified his perpetrator as Miss Thanya Kongpira, aged 15 from Khon Kaen in North East Thailand. A report was made and a search is now on for the young lady from Esarn.
I'm hoping that as well as taking his complaint of robbery, that they also busted him for having "fun and games" with an underage minor...
