Certainly not a sh!thole country...

Apparently, it's actual news when a Thai man ISN'T a bully or coward...well done, Thailand.

in the usa, there is some evidence that about 30% of rape/sexual assault reports are fabricated...not implying that the woman is lying, but it is a possibility.

ok...so please defend the actions of the punk cowards...please explain and justify their actions...in your own unique and persuasive way.

Sek Loso is just a pu$$y...isn't he the same punk that beat his wife/gf?  And now he is crying because he tested positive for drugs? Just a pu$$y, far too typical here in Thailand...do anything to avoid responsibility...he looks even moreso, in light of Bodyslam's recent accomplishments...

It seems that Trump is a roll now, withholding, justiciable so, billions in useless aids to bodies and countries that take these kind helps for granted and a matter of course, The Palestinians use some of these funds and others donated to them to pay salaries to dead terrorists families and to enshrine and glorify martyrs, while crying to the world of being the under dog....

agreed...the us has provided enough welfare to the nations of the world...and far too many un members hold the us in contempt...what's the worst that can happen? muslims in the middle east hate the us? muslims in the middle east hate israel?  terror attacks from muslim extremists? i'm not a big trump supporter, but this decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital is long overdue...

Killed for a like on FB by a pathetic Thai male ego. Another reason to relocate my daughter before she hits puberty !

i met someone, from greece, who moved his daughter out of thailand for this very reason...when she turned 14 years of age, she was getting all sorts of attention from the local guys, most much older than his daughter...rather than kill someone in the future, the dad decided to move his daughter...probably the best thing he did as a parent in thailand.

it could be bad timing my part, but i've seen russians skip out on their bill numerous times at restaurants, bars, doctors, attorneys, and even massage shops...there is no shame, stealing from thais. their poor reputation is earned.

As ive said, this guy, if he so chooses, could be a huge political force in years to come..And I would guess his security detail would not only stay as is now but increase in the future if he went that way.

seriously...this guy needs to contemplate a real future in politics...he seems to be genuine and sincere in his desire to help thai people...the problems of this country are obvious and could be solved pretty easily by one individual who was accepted by the populace...this country needs an icon to lead it to an amazing future...i really hope he uses his public embrace to make a difference...this country aches for a leader who is simply NOT corrupt.

"trickle down" is a term of disparagement used by liberals to diminish the real importance of "supply side" economics...supply side economics works quite well...if businesses are left alone to flourish, they will do so...and employees and public will benefit...just think...which is a better investment for society...give 1,000 usd to 1million people or give 1 billion usd to a few "bill gates and elon musk" types...which will better the economy and society...the difference that exist in a thai economy is pervasive corruption...this is why the united nations and other organizations are worthless...if you give a billion usd to a corrupt country (e.g., thailand or south africa), then you have only lined the pockets of the few corrupt...trickle down or supply side economics works, but only if the economy is a meritocracy...

Who knows what really happened? The current "war on men" has gotten so extreme in the US, that one does not know whether or not an accusation has anything behind it. 

 

Like what? Trying to kiss them? Wow. Big deal. Since when is that a big crime? Men have been doing that for millennium. So you do not want to be kissed. You push the guy away. You do not make a federal case out of it. This is all about money. 

 

An accused serial child molester, and probably statutory rapist just lost an important election, and the deflector in chief is a guy who has said he grabs strangers by the pussy, on tape, and that those strangers are basically willing to do anything because he is famous, while a guy who tried to kiss a few grown women, is resigning? Something here really stinks. 

 

The bottom line is this. Teflon Don has created an environment that is so toxic, so putred, so horrendous, that standards no longer apply to most Republicans. Especially the ones he supports. And he alone has created this environment, where it is nearly illegal to possess a penis. 

it's probably more accurate to state that trump didn't create this environment...but that his liberal critics are willing to sacrifice members of their own in order to attack trump with any credibility...after all, their criticisms of trump couldn't be taken seriously with all the b.s. the libs have been doing for decades...so they have to first attack/clean house, so when they do attack trump, they will have some validity to their hyperbolic arguments...trump didn't start this mess...liberals did...and now they are trying to clean up their own long standing dumpster fires so they can attack trump with some sense of perceived integrity in the media...because it's so obvious that this is really a drawn out political ploy, i hope it doesn't gain traction...the us population has a terrible memory (e.g., why would blacks align themselves with democrats, a political party that historically has tried to crush their social advancement?)...but with the terrible memory of people in general, plain stupidity, and the selfish nature of the citizenry, the dems may have a reasonable chance of success...lots of careers will be ruined by the political bulldogs on both sides...just look at sen franken...he's an ass, and a terrible senator (has not passed a single piece of legislation in years...his real political purpose was to be the jerk who asked insulting questions of conservative nominees that could be soundbites on the news), but he certainly did not deserve to be a target for allegations of sexual abuse...there are going to more accusations for sure...the dems have a slash and burn mentality when it comes to trump (and anyone who disagrees with them)...if they were smart, they would mount more reasoned arguments, and try to pass noteworthy legislation, instead of clutching their pearl necklaces and running to a fainting couch  at every perceived slight...it makes them appear as though the liberal agenda has no real substance...instead they can only cry racism, sexims, and homophobia...which are mostly just stupid allegations with no real merit.

a likely corrupt cop gets killed after drunk driving...and two worthless youths go to jail...time to buy a lottery ticket...

she could have been in the Special Olympics...personally, i wish she died or was paralyzed...jail for idiots just means that thais have to spend money to feed her.

Trump has to be fuming!!!!!  This just made my day.  Trump and the Republicans are going down.  This goes to show the people do care about the issues and won't just vote a single party ballot. 

 

What a huge defeat, and huge loss of face for Trump.

 

Lovin it!

First, you shouldn't equate being a republican with trump...trump is much more of a dem...Second, if you dislike repub, then this is the worst thing that could have happened...if moore had won, he would have been a constant reminder to everyone about voting a party line...with this win, the dems have a chance to really screw things up...just remember, it was dem policies and attitudes, not repub ones, that propelled trump to the whitehouse...trump was elected as a reaction to dems race baiting/selling out the country/needless provocation and the repubs apathy/reluctance in addressing the real issues of government...it is a genuine defeat for trump, but you are simply wrong if you think repubs or conservatives really care about trump...just watch and see if anyone challenges trump in the upcoming election...there will be tons of candidates...dems will only trot out sanders, who is a joke, albeit an entertaining one.

Then you have no clue about the Khmer Rouge.  However much you mourn the loss of one 61yo prison inmate and alleged child abuser, and however hyperbolic that makes you think you need to be to make a point, it hardly amounts to the class extermination of as many as 3 MILLION Cambodians.  Seriously.  Get a grip.

 

i think he was just making a joke, or trying to...he wasn't being serious...

kudos to the police for making this effort...please continue and clean up the temples...

Orchard Road in Sings, have a look there for her.

in bkk, there are plenty of sports bars/english pubs that employ servers...the girls do not engage in bar fines, etc...there's an american sports bar near the nana bts, as i recall, called the game...start there, as the manager is farang, and does a very good job of actually training the staff...keep in mind that "real" jobs require "real" work...so your gf may not want to actually work...

It would indeed be a historically AMAZING upset if Jones can pull it out as the election system is totally rigged there by the white racists that dominate Alabama politics.

 

How is that you may ask?

Racially motivated strict voter I.D. laws and then the republican controlled state closed the DMV offices in heavily black areas of the state so that it would be much harder for black voters to even get the I.D. that they need to vote.

 

 

You are remarkably ill informed...you appear to simply hate Whites simply because they are Whites...there's nothing wrong will voter id laws...indeed, it's stupid not to have them...as for the horrible Whites, would you please offer your amazing insight into the crime disparity across races? or rates in child abuse? or poverty? please please please help me understand how white people in 2017 are systematically keeping blacks oppressed?  I want to be a good white guy...so please offer your reasoned insight into this issue...please explain to me how i contribute to a system that forces 80% of blacks to be born out of wedlock...or how i force blacks to spend more annually, on the average, on hair care than they do on education...or how my asian wife is 20 times more likely to be raped by a black man than a white/asian/hispanic man...or how 90% of murders in chicago are committed by blacks? btw...i didn't conjure any of those stats...they are easily available from the us department of justice website, so please forgive me if i rely on data...please illuminate me and all the other whites who are racists simply because they are white...we want to be enlightened in this modern world...i feel so bad for being born white...perhaps that is a good start?

It’s clear, though, that imposing traffic discipline on Thais is as difficult as getting them to meet in the middle ground of politics.

It would be more successful if police actually did their job reliably. The problem doesn't rest only with the public...

It's begging for people to lazy, or too unskilled, to work.  When I see monks paying cash for expensive Pentax cameras, iPhone and iPads, and other high end items, which I have seen many times, using the money donated for the temple, all I can do is laugh at the stupidity of the people who believe in this Thai hogwash. There are no true Buddhist in Thailand.

 

A long time ago I quit supporting the temples in any fashion...besides all the reported sex and drug crimes, it's pretty common to see monks sitting in first/business class on international flights, scrolling though their iphones...I'm sure there are sincere and genuine practitioners of buddhism, but I think they are the exception now, and not the rule...

These gays needed to go to jail...it's appalling to disrespect history and culture as they did...I"m sure they would get offended if someone pissed on the "gay pride" flag...

That being said, it would diminish Thailand's sanctimony and hypocrisy if they did not grant "work" permits to the scum that come here and film porn/fetish crap that only exploits the dismal life of poor Thais...as it stands now, being accused of cultural insensitivity in Thailand is tantamount to Kanye West criticizing one's grammar...

Of course there was more than just a discussion.   There would not be a ethics probe without more and since he has chosen to resign before it is concluded, you can bet your sweet bottom that there is more.

 

 

Nope. Ethics probes are opened with little or no evidence, usually. The process is a political cudgel. More than 95% of these probes find nothing inappropriate. There have been more than 600 ethics probes in the past decade, with very very very few people actually disciplined.  The only thing in this story that seems to lend validity to the notion of inappropriate behavior is the man's resignation, which could be for a number of reason, only one of which is inappropriate/illegal (i.e., be a surrogate or lose your job). He may have resigned because he didn't want this aspect of his or his family's life being on public display...he may have resigned to spend more time with his family...he may have resigned because the republicans want a younger individual in the office who can serve for decades...or someone who can undergo an election without an ethics probe in progress...or this probe may lead to other issues that are more substantial (e.g., affairs, diversion of public moneys to pay for personal matters, etc). Sure, there may be a scandal, but there is actually a greater possibility of political machinations. Because both parties hold an almost equivalent portion of the congress, there is quite a lot of scheming behind the scenes by both parties to secure a strong majority next election. Example--the evidence against Al Frankin is pretty weak, but he needs to resign so the Dems can go HAM against Trump on matters of sexual harassment.  So Frankin offered himself as a sacrifice to the party. That is why the Dems are retroactively criticizing Clinton for proven rape.

Extortion  / sexual assault which are you more comfortable with?

Accusations is a more accurate term...if she were to provide the facebook posts, I'd lend more validity to her claim...

Hello,

Does anyone know of a club, venue, or bar that has live Luk Thung music in BKK, Chon Buri, or Pattaya?  I'd like to find a place that offers Luk Thung on a regular basis. Also, are there any upcoming special events that may feature Luk Thung?  Thanks in advance.
