It seems to me that lots of crimes are not reported in the media. That gives many people the idea nothing happens.

The election is over, a new round of "war" begins What a stupid headline! It seems some people want to declare this a war and that a war and something else a war. Stupid! There are lots of things which can happen in politics. That is nothing unusual. There is no war!

It's interesting that you think you know me better than I know myself. But then again, this is Asean Now, experts like you always know better.

Before the election he said he will return to Thailand in the week after the election. Where is he? Did I miss the news of his arrival? I don't see him coming back anytime soon if ever. With Move Forward there might be a new start, relative clean, and without much baggage. If Thaksin would return, we can be pretty sure that he wants the be in the center of the stage. And people who want peace don't want that. My prediction is Thaksin will cry in the desert how unfair this all is. How sad. ????

Tilac, I don't want to work in the bar anymore. You know that I am a smart girl. I want a coffee shop and then I earn money to support my family. Please tilac, you can afford this little investment.

If you would have read my posts then you would know that I hate Thaksin and I am grateful to Prayut that he helped to remove the criminal. That doesn't make me a fan of Prayut and it doesn't make me a fan of the military. The enemy of my enemy is not automatically my friend. It's not really that difficult to understand. I am happy that the people clearly voted for something new and not Prayut and not Thaksin. Great!

No. That is not what I see. I see that he is trying to lick someone's feet so that he doesn't have to go to jail. As usual, it's all about him and not about the Thai people.

Why don't you go to embassy in Phnom Penh and apply for a tourist visa? If you get one, then you know they will let you into Thailand. And if not then you know they won't let you in.

Maybe the sponsor of the red-shirts should learn from that and tell them to stay home in their red villages.

That reminds me that I have an orange motorcycle. I guess I have to be careful now.

Lots of soldiers died. The soldiers died while doing their duty. RIP to all of them. If the fugitive criminal wouldn't have organized those thugs, then nobody would have died.

They should have declared those red-shirts a terrorist organization at that time. No red-shirts, no problems. And never forget!

I just drove along Central World. I saw a lot of police and some red-shirts in their full "uniform". What is going on?

I think there are two possible problems with the chain (or maybe more). A) It was lubricated and after a lot of usage the chain stretches and that will also make the sprockets bad, because the chain doesn't fit anymore into the groves (or whatever those things are called). Then the chain and sprockets have to be replaced. Because a new chain on the bad sprockets wouldn't be new for long. B) The chain was not properly lubricated. The chain is not stretched, but the links are not "flexible" anymore. Then, I guess, only the chain has to be replaced and not the sprockets. My issue is B. I didn't lubricate the chain as often as I should have.

It seems I have to explain it again and again. The guy made the video to make money. He didn't make it to show the Thai fruit seller. If he can make double the money showing a monkey or snake then we can be sure that is what he will do. Is that easy enough to understand? Or which part do I have to repeat?

This is why I only link to quality videos from people who deserve the money. ????

No, he was not showing the kindness of the Thai fruit seller. He published a video to make money. Imagine the Thai fruit seller would have told him to f@# o$#%, together with his camera team. Do you think he would have just deleted that? Or would he still have shown it to get some clicks? The Thai fruit seller is just an object to make money for this TikTokker.

Yes, times have changed. I noticed that. And I am not suggesting TikTok should be banned or anything like that. If people want to spend their time with that, please, do it. And if some people make a lot of money on TikTok because millions of people watch what they are doing, ok, I accept that. But obviously it's also up to me what I like and what I don't like. Some videos are funny or informative, fine. Some are just stupid. I like some and I don't like others. And if I feel like telling the world, or in this case the AseanNow members what I don't like then that is part of that whole game.

You can like whatever you want to like. Go ahead, be happy and like and subscribe to everything you want. TikTok idiots like this guy exist because people like you support them. Be proud of yourself!

Ok, let's try this again: Why did the Aussie TikTok guy do what he did? Did he do it because he was hungry? No Did he do it because he wanted to see how this food vendor would react? Maybe Did he do it so that he can publish that video and make money with it. 100% sure - otherwise he wouldn't have published that video. From time to time, I also give money or goods to people in need. I don't play silly games with them. I don't take pictures or videos of my generous behavior so that I can post it somewhere to show what a good guy I am. If anybody feels the need to show on the internet what a good person he or she is, then maybe they should think again. And if people make money from views on the internet with such video, then they should think even harder if that is decent behavior.

Anybody who paid attention in Thailand would not be surprised at all that the food vendor gave a supposedly hungry man food without payment. I am pretty sure that is what most food in Thailand vendors would do.

I would definitely avoid any party with TikTok idiots, influencers, and such crowd. If you want to play the idiot in a video, then please go ahead. But don't expect only because you like it everybody likes it.

I guess next someone will make a NFT collection out of it and try to sell it for millions.

No surprise. The USA is the best democracy money can buy. That's a well-known fact.

How would you feel if some rich guy would do something like that with you? And obviously he films it and publishes it to make money. If he would want to support people, he could have bought fruit and give the vendor some tip - without running camera.
