The use of taxation (legalised and government endorsed theft) to incentivize an alteration in behavior is the equivalent of beating a child with a poker to achieve the same.

Another case where the right hand don't know what the left hand is doing.. nothing new here, and as for not mentioning foreigners, again, nothing new here, we got used to it...

Dude, the right hand doesn't know the left hand actually exists, and vice-versa.

That's the principle reason for excrement occurring in Thailand as frequently as it does.

if you include all the trees not just the ones cut down there are 1000s, try again

This is getting repetitious.  <deleted> go and count the firewood in the wild and give me an audited and verified quantity.  Oh wait.....

(insert user estimated number between 15 and 1,000+)  straggly trees doth not maketh a forest (or even a jungle), it maketh firewood in the wild.

The irony is that you're debating the quantity as opposed to the philosophical argument that trees may, or may not in fact be firewood in the wild.

And now that I've extracted the appropriate amount of urine I will exit stage left.  Apologies to Snagglepuss.

Link - There will not be a karaoke service, dance floor, promotion and alcohol for the customers who share glasses.

 

Not being a visitor to nightclubs and bars anymore, it is common two people go to a bar and order one alcoholic drink and two straws ? 

Only if they are from the Indian sub-continent.

Pre-paying for anything in Thailand is a recipe for disappointment.

I'm in Patters - how many times will I have to refill my Click 125 to get to Chiang Mai? 

"Rape" and "regret" are now synonymous. 

I refer you to my quotes below.  These quotes are the only wisdom you need in today's world.

Covid is here for decades. Vaccinations and learning to live with it or lockdowns, restrictions and social and financial destruction.

but when you have the elite making the decisions with little affect on their lives, the poorer the majority become, the more they be used in the future

Colditz-19 will technically be here forever and until the end of the universe.  Mankind in all his (hers/zers/zim....insert your pronoun of choice to suit your self identified gender) wisdom and modern medical science has only ever eradicated one virus (smallpox) and that was only because the virus was not a zoological virus and shared by animals.

Colditz-19 is a zoological and can never be eradicated with current known science.

But otherwise you are correct - Colditz-19 is the current fear du jour being used by the oligarchs to control us.  Climate change wasn't working as well as they'd hoped as  a control mechanism so they used the colditz-19 event as a more tangible, immediate and imminent crisis as their weapon of fear.

Meanwhile they're ramping up efforts on climate fear and the new hatred towards energy and the powerhouse of the world's economy.  The shift away from colditz-19 fear to a heightened climate fear and energy outrage will be almost seamless.

Coldita-19 is the ultimate weapon of Pavlovian "conditioning". The "conditioned" normies that are now so fearful of colditz-19 will be easily convinced to adopt the climate fear mantra.  

Unfortunately the world is run by those that know how gullible and fearful the Pareto's 80% of the population are.  Always have and always will.

The buttons work as follows:

 

Yellow: I'm lost

Green: I ran out of water

Red: There's a gang of LadyBoys approaching

Are you discussing the buttons at the park or the buttons on Pattaya pedestrian crossings?

The shacks look OK to me.

I mean, give them a lick of paint and the village could be easily be passed off as  a "Ree-zort".
