Bangkok - A 76-year-old Malay Muslim woman from southern Thailand who got on the wrong bus 25 years ago and ended up living at the other end of the country has been reunited with her family, officials and domestic media said on Tuesday.
Unable to speak, read or write Thai, Jaeyaena Beuraheng boarded a bus in Malaysia thinking it was bound for Narathiwat, one of three Muslim-majority provinces in Buddhist Thailand’s far south.

Been to Bangkok a couple of times now, first time was in February 2005, then back at New Year 2009. What a awesome place! It supplies for everybody: if your searching for cordial locals there is masses of them, if your looking for good thai food there is a good deal and nightlife is astonishing. If you want a low-priced holiday, you can have it - if you desire a pricey vacation, you can have it as well. My mom is totally in love with the place and has just bought into a hotel over there. My kids love it as well. What a wonderful place to celebrate Songkran!
