yes, the too often recurring murderous violence and corruption within Thai armed forces, police and other security personnel is the elephant in the room that must be addressed before it threatens to tear Thai society asunder!
thank you for this sensitive and emotional piece, David- my experiences with Isaan, while not nearly as numerous as yours, are also of peaceful times and wondeful, giving people- there were many Isaan people working on Koh Lanta, which was my main interaction with them; i traveled through Isaan once, on the way to and from Chiang Khan on the Mekong River
Until reading this, it was easy to file the massacre under "over there, soon forgotten". You've brought it home and thus allowed us to grieve with Isaan.
nicely done!!!......a terrible and tragic act and loss of beautiful lives ... we are grieving with all the people of Thailand and pray that this never happens again here....or anywhere..... we live in peace in Thailand and it will remain so.......น้อมกราบสาธๆๆ หลับให้สบายนะครับ

Thank you for your article, it is heartbreaking what has happened, but it is not the Thailand we all know and love.
