PHUKET: The body of a man was pulled from the water at Rassada Pier in Phuket City about 6.15am today. A wound, possibly from a knife or a sharpened steel reinforcement rod, could be seen in the man's neck. Police from Phuket City say he was dressed only in blue jeans, aged 30-35 and floating face down, with no means of identification. Officers speculate he was most likely a Burmese fisherman, killed in a dispute.

Dean, I fail to see any really reason for your comment, except to see your name in print. I don't know where you get you "proof" to say that we perceive Burmese as lesser than Thais. Certainly Thais see Burmese as being lesser. Perhaps you live in a world of perceived misconceptions. You see what you see, but what "you" see in not necessarily the truth.

Why are expat lives perceived (by many expats) as more valuable than a Thai, with Burmese at the bottom rung? After all, the end result is always poop, and who can tell the various human species (feces ) apart at that point? I guess certain groups think theirs don't stink eh? In the end, when will all human lives be deemed worthy of comment by the "expat elites", those whose poop has no odor? Because the victim has more melanin, from a poor country, he don't rate a fingerprint, or dental records check?
