I miss being younger where you would get so many presents it would fill the entire room. Now I'm lucky to need more than 10 minutes to open them.

Thai/Chinese.

Don't know what subdivision of Chinese. I don't think they were Han majority. Probably one of the southern groups.

Merchants and Rubber Plantation owners and (it has been implied) some kind of gangsters. The dividing line between crime boss and landowner/upstanding member of the community was not so clear cut in the 40's and 50's in Thailand.

Example: when my Grandfather lost an entire farm in a card game (a farm that he had received as dowry), his father in law put a hit out on him.

>> No.7362613

>>7362590
I assume whoever was carrying the hit failed?

>> No.7362657

>>7362613
Yeah, they aparently made up later or something. But right after the hit was put out my grandfather went into hiding with my grandmother. They treked through the jungle on elephant back to this tiny flyspeck ethnic muslim villiage in the south.

That's where my mom was born. She would have been born in the night but they had to wait for dawn for a midwife because there were communist insurgents in the mountain caverns near the village and they enforced a curfew... anyone out after dark could get shot.

>> No.7362693
