Yes I am USMC stationed in Okinawa for 2 years. I leave July 2008 but I'm in korea for 5 more months. If I get go to Thailand for the exercise, I'll just take a vacation for 3 weeks to go there to train in one of the muay thai camps. But i read about how we train with the Thai Marines all the time and it gets me more pumped for next year.

Indian, Thai armies to hone counter-terrorism skills in September

By ANI
Thursday August 9, 09:00 PM

New Delhi, Aug 9 (ANI): Indian and Thai armies will be conducting a joint exercise near Ramgarh in Jharkhand next month, which will focus on counter terrorism tactics.

The joint operation involving close to a total of 100 soldiers will closely follow Indian Army's first ever joint military exercise with China and will be an effort to "coordinate measures in a comprehensive and sustained manner" towards combating terrorism.

In June this year, Thai Prime Minister Surayut Chulanon, during his visit to New Delhi, called for increasing defence ties with India as part of its 'Look West' policy.

Both countries recognise that terrorism constituted one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and had resolved to strengthen bilateral cooperation to combat terrorism.

Meanwhile, Visiting Thai Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on Thursday met Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee and discussed bilateral issues.

The Thai princess is on a daylong visit to New Delhi to witness Thai cultural celebrations marking 60 years of India-Thailand ties.

She is scheduled to preside over a performance of the Ramakien, the traditional Thai version of the Ramayana, to be performed by Thai artists here. (ANI)

Sirikittong love you XD
thanks for all picture
i'm very proud of thailand now1!
my land my country

CHAI YOO

[slammer]

Sirikittong, if not personal, May I ask you about your profile, family background?
I am merely curious to know since obviously, many of your topics related to Thailand Military subjects.

Additionally, seeminly, you are highly ambitous about marine, military and particuarly Thaialnd as a whole, just in my opinion according to my observation.

According to the pictures above, the Thai military looking fairly strong.

sirikittong is a female navy officer in Thailand.
According to the picture shown by sirikittong, Thailand Marines and Army are already outdated in equipment. Mostly are second hand except those Stingray tank .

StingRay tank is the only tank that is only use by one country and that is thailand. No other country adapted the stingray. Too sad about the logistic and spare parts/

[slammer]

Indeed. The Thai Army is a humble yet VERY DEADLY one. No one has yet to see the Thai Army completely unsheathed. Our neighbours have felt the taste of our blade, but not the entire sword.

Actually, im rather afraid to see the Royal Thai Army in open total combat. Its already brutal as it is in 'peace keeping' missions, imagine if its released? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_redface.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

dont talk bull s--t. You talk like the Thai army is the most deadliest in ASEAN region when in fact it is not.

You forgot that there are other country in ASIA like Indonesia, Vietnam, Sri LANKA ,and Philippines who have soldier that has far better experience in war than your Army. Thai Army and Marines are untested in real combat.
You also forgot that Taiwan and Singapore has an impressive array of weaponry and when it comes to the best special forces among ASEAN, Malaysia and Philippines has one of the toughest.

Not all of them are second hand.

Just curious, is touching the bowl disrespectful? He is putting something in the bowl I suppose.
