  1. I have many friends that have shown interest in buying Thai businesses and properties but they always balk when told they must give up 51% of their investments. 

     

    I also know many who would happily take advantage of this offer if it wasn't temporary, or if it didn't herd them into a subdivision. I doubt any would want to live in a subdivision..  That's probably why they left, to get away from neighbors so close by and find a peaceful setting.... 

     

    Seems's most I've talked to want privacy and their own piece of private land, to build their dream home, then retire.  Few want to worry about having to sell, or rules changing on them a few years out... In America, anyone with the cash can buy any property. There is no prejudice against who can buy.

    With you and probably better that way as the masses have been brainwashed and could be in the violent stages:  According to 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.”

    Give it a rest please.  Many studies out there say the opposite and The Who has Backtrack on your claim of saying asymptomatic cases are rare.

     

    Study: Up to 80% of COVID-19 Infections Are Asymptomatic | Time

     

    WHO expert backtracks after saying asymptomatic transmission 'very rare' | World news | The Guardian

    Of course they backtracked..  How could they impose control and sell vaccines if they didn't?

    I know they say the vaccines distributed in the USA do not protect against spreading, or transmission of Covid.  It also does not protect one from contracting Covid. They say it will only reduce the symptoms of Covid.  I don't know if the vaccine used in Thailand is the same or not...?

  5. Hi is very correct as children rarely even have symptoms.  Nice to see someone using logic in their assessment.  Also, I have recently seen on google searches that there has never been a single "documented" case of an Asymptomatic transmission, meaning if you have no symptoms, you do not spread this virus.  Does anyone know for fact, of documented Asymptomatics spreading Covid?  Even the WHO says it is very rare, if it occurs at all. all..   https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52977940

  6. Thank You Greenpeace for trying to save Thailand! As an American, almost everyone I know, is sick to death of being basically force-fed GMO's. No one I know craves them or has ever asked for them to be served up.

    It seems Greenpeace has quelled Shiploads of GMO's from making it to the soil in Thailand. GMO manufacturers have some very unscrupulous practices such as this... http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/press/releases/greenpeace-exposes-dumping-of/ ... Anyone saying that no one will or ever will die from GMO foods, is quite blatantly spewing non-founded information.

    A recent study published in the journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology is proving genetically modified organisms (GMO) may cause kidney damage, liver failure and early death. http://draxe.com/genetically-modified-foods-gmo-linked-tumors-allergies-early-death/ Eating genetically modified corn (GMO corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto’s Roundup chemical fertilizer (commonly used in GMO) caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death.

    The study has been deemed “the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GMO crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats.”

    In a 2011 review published in Environmental Sciences Europe, 19 studies of mammals, fed GMO soybeans and corn, were evaluated. The 90-day long trials indicate liver and kidney problems as a result of GMO foods. Kidney’s were disrupted by 43.5% and liver by 30.8%.

    With cross contamination pollination, GMO's are nearly impossible to eradicate, as we still find GMO papayas in Thailand 10 years after the move to eradicate them.. It's a very slippery slope to be on and any testing should be confined so cross contamination cannot occur.

    I sure hope Thailand doesn't blindly follow America, as American shipments of Corn and other GMO's are being rejected by the billions of tons and costing American billions of $dollars$. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/16/syngenta-corn-costs-idUSL2N0N82DF20140416

    http://naturalsociety.com/biotech-outraged-china-rejects-several-billion-tons-gmo-corn/

    THese studies of GMo's causing early death have been done in Norway, France and elsewhere. http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2012/09/study-herbicide-and-gm-corn-may-cause-tumors-early-death/#.VNNmLWjF-KI

    Also, the very sad repercussion to all this is that Thailand can kiss their honeybee population goodbye as the Neonicotinoids used in fungicides are proving to cause honey bee populations to plummet 90% in America. Colony collapse disorder is so out of control they are now talking of making robotic pollinators or creating Genetically Modified Honeybees as a result..

    Massive die-offs of several other species are now believed to be taking place from extensive use of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and other poisons related to GMO production. http://e360.yale.edu/feature/behind_mass_die_offs_pesticides_lurk_as_culprit/2228/

  7. Born 1985 and she is 31?

    Which girl, that is forced into prostitution, is going to raise her hand when her pimp stands right behind her?

    I have never seen a Thai girl with a pimp. I have also never seen what looks to be an underage worker in any massage establishment. and... thrid of all, I have never witnessed a girl who says she is forced to work in any massage parlor or even on Soi Bang La or anywhere in Thailand for that matter. I feel most of the women actually enjoy their work and I've noticed on many occasion they would rather work in the nightlife scene than have a standard boring day job. Alot of Thai girls just like to PaRtY and associate with farangs.. I don't think they'll uncover anything of significance with more raids but they may chase away the girls or the clientele if they persist in doing this.

  8. Freedom for Mr Snowden !!!

    thanks to him !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pity its not the same for the people who have been killed and are in danger because he chose to open his mouth , but that's ok then

    Would Love to hear about someone who has been killed by him exposing the Truth and corruption... or how anyone could be in Danger from his exposing that the USA is unconstitutionally and illegally spying on all of it's Citizens ... Please explain.

  9. as an American i side with the Swedes on this one thumbsup.gif

    +1

    Snowden exposed something that the US Government (NSA) was doing illegally to the American people and without the knowledge of the American people. He did not expose secrets that actually put the country or its operatives in danger. They were spying on American's without court orders. We need more like him. Unfortunately that issue, like so many others was exposed and nothing done about it and no one punished. If the local police wiretapped my phone without a court order it was be illegal. It seems to be alright now for the government to listen to my telephone conversations and read my email. Sorry but that is not what the Constitution allows, national security or not. Sorry, but I am willing to live with some risk to keep my freedoms in tact under the Constitution. If they violate one part of it what stops them from violating other parts?

    Thank you for explaining that to those who don't understand that our freedoms need defending! Great post! Obama (who said, "It will be the most transparent Government in modern history) Is nothing but a psychopathic liar constantly and consistently doing the opposite of what he campaigned for. He has now arrested more Whistleblowers than ALL other Presidents COMBINED!!

    This will not save the tourist number of this year. The image of the country is damaged already. Who after all wants to spend his holidays in fascist military dictatorship?

    Actually, quite a few of my friends from different countries around the world are coming here next month (plane tickets have been booked!)

    Two of them are even bringing their eight month old daughter with them. They are all flying into BKK en route to USM but I'll go up to meet them when they arrive in the country and we'll spend a few days there shopping.

    As for those who decide to rebook or cancel their vacations because of this, I say good riddance! If you are dumb enough to believe the crap the foreign press is shovelling, then you should stay home and lock your doors. I'd be more worried about travelling pretty much anywhere in Detroit or insert any American city here than I would anywhere in Thailand... Even in the deep South.

    Oh and your reference to fascism... have you seen the militarization of the police in the States? The image of this country is only damaged by the corporately controlled media in the West; now there's your fascism.

    I grew up in Detroit and I'd have to agree with you Chach, about everything you stated.. Nice Post!! I also have several friends coming in, in the next month or so. They all seem to be the well informed type and have no fear of what is taking place here.

  11. Excellent video,

    Before this video. I am sure the US intelligence community had no idea what was going on in Thailand and this video set them straight.

    John Kerry I am sure, after viewing this video is now in total support of the military coup, and is probably running over to the White House Yelling " Hey Barack , have you seen this video?"laugh.png

    I enjoyed the vid also... May your take on it arise from your keyboard.. to the Heavens krap. ... and to John Kerry, of course.. wai2.gif

    Gosh, i feel quite the opposite.. I think Tourism will flourish now. Anyone informed of the real situation, will be chompin at the bit to visit or live here. So many Countries in the World would benefit greatly, if they learned to do this, as the Thais do. When we have alleged corruption in the US Politics, it almost always goes completely unaddressed and is constantly swept under the rug. The corruption there is never-ending. The People in the US have no power and the Military and Police are brainwashed to be against the people.. Other Countries seem to have all out Civil wars in an order to try and end corruption.

    Thank the Heavens that Thailand knows how to have a peaceful "reset" or "revolution" and restore order ... The world should learn from them. It has seemed like a huge comradery here to me since this started. Thais love and trust their Military and the military loves the People.. I'm very impressed with the way this has been handled. Suspected corruption in Politics does need addressing and this is one place it gets dealt with. :)

    .

    It's Totally unlike what my Western Friends say they hear from the MSM. Many have said, "how is the war that is going on over there" or "are you locked inside your house" after hearing CNN and others spin and exploit it. I sure wish the US military would assure "We the People" that they'd stand against corruption. In the US the Military takes an Oath, to defend the Constitution against Domestic enemies, but I've surely never seen the Military act or follow that part of their Oath. The US should stop creating so many foreign entanglements, mind its own business, stop criticizing and learn to handle its own problems. Believe me, they have enough problems that need working on.

  14. its only what the US Fed has been doing since 2008......................

    Great post but I'd have to say it started in 1913 or at the very latest in 1971 when Nixon took the dollar off the Gold Standard. coffee1.gif

    Please explain the logic of US coming off the gold standard causing counterfeiting of dollars.

    Well, I'd think it's pretty self explanatory but I'll tell ya, Before then, our money said, "will pay the the bearer on demand, redeemable in silver or gold." A 50 dollar bill at that time bought more than an ounce of gold which costed about $41 in 1971.. today a 50 dollar bill will barely buy a "gram" of gold... and if it wasn't taken off the standard that same $50.00 bill would now be valued at aprox. $1,500.00. Instead of the "Dollar" greatly appreciating it has greatly depreciated. I'd hope you can see now the difference.

    btw, I actually didn't even get to the part about the FED printing more Trillions upon Trillions of dollars on top of this already giant Ponzi Scheme.. Some wise minds say that our dollar has lost more than 98% of it's value, since 1913, when the Fed was created.

  16. I gotta be honest with you Scarpolo,

    I was actually going to delete my post to you,as I try not to be a "Thaivisa Grumpster"TM,

    but you answered so politely that I am simply going to doff my imaginary hat to you and leave you to it,

    just get a few survival courses under your belt(and learn Chinese wai2.gif cause BOY are they kicking you asses) for when that illusion collapses and your country winds up looking like the set of "the book of Eli"

    good luck,enjoy it while it lasts.

    Lets agree to disagree.

    the problem is, the US goes down this road with their creditos every few decades,

    in the 1980's, it was the Japanese, who were buying up America, and all was lost, and they were soon going to win WW2 all over again,

    in the 1970's, it was the Saudi's

    now it is the Chinese,

    big deal,

    they are dependant on us, and it is the history of the US, to continue this way.

    the dollar losing its value?

    not here

    55555 the dollar not losing it's value? So many just don't understand the inflation tax or that Dollars are backed by Zero, only our military.. When the Petro dollar loses its status you will have to pay 1 million for a single share of Apple.. just because the stock price goes up, doesn't mean the value increases. Why do you think a pouch of tobacco is only 15 cents in Thailand and it's $20.00 in the USA? Or why is a meal at a restaurant in Thailand $1.50 and $15.00 in America? Why is a Pineapple 50 cents here and $6.00+ in America? Because dollars are becoming worthless already! Lose your BIG head about the U.S., no one is dependent upon them anymore. The Chinese are quite smart and just trying to get rid of their worthless dollars before the rest of the people realize it is only monopoly money. In the process they will own alot of the U.S. and Americans will be forced to pay them rents for eons... and just maybe in RMB. wai.gifwai2.gif

    Pineapples?

    I know you sold yourself all that manure to justify your decisions, so, go back to your dream,

    Why is a six pack of Hogaarden $7.89 here in the USA,but in Thailand it is $40?

    duh.. because it's imported.. We can live without booze, we cannot live without food... Pineapples grow quite well in Florida and Hawaii.. But I guess their GMO pineapples didn't help reduce price much. enjoy your GMO's there.

  17. Thailand is becoming more like the west everyday, Fines and restrictions always increased, If the authorities dont watch out they wont have a tourism industry as people could have more fun in their home countries.

    No, what you mean is, ' if they shut down what Thailand is infamous for, the sex tourism will decline'. So, given that Thailand has very little else to offer than overpriced beaches. They invited you to partake, and now, once again, they're pulling the sex'n'booze rug from under your feet laugh.png

    they want Chinese and Far Eastern business and commerce, and their families

    they no longer want pensioners and back packers

    they will also become smarter on real estate taxes

    they have american guidance, and, they have an expanding FBI here now too

    they mean to clean it up, and they will,

    that sex workers will have to back home, or go inside, is not their problem

    Hey! I'm with you on cleaning up the sleaze, I'm on Phuket and it's embarrassing to see families having to walk past ugly beer bars full of equally ugly farm girls and screeching katoeys. However, where you and I part company is on yet more boring corporate infrastructure. And what the hell's wrong with backpackers? They put more into the local economy and don't frequent ho bars, thus tad thin on the ground in this neck of the woods anyway. There is room for middle ground you know huh.png

    BTW 'Expanding FBI'??? The yanks getting even more of a toehold then? Why?

    Nightlife in Patong is almost unparalleled in this world. Nothing wrong with backpackers at all.. and nothing wrong with those who want to see Katoeys and Pretty Thai Ladies.. Everyone wants to draw their own line where they think Freedom should end and it's quite sad.. There are about 2 streets in Patong where they exist and if families don't like that, they are free to walk the other 1000's of streets and beaches, they don't need to participate. Bang la Rd. is World Famous because MANY people like to enjoy incredible nightlife, even if others don't enjoy it or want to call it sleazy.. Many think the farm girls are beautiful and bars are creative with wild lighting, abounding smiles and fun games, etc.. Live and Let Live.. Would be nice to see people Stop judging others..

  19. they just need better drugs,

    meth and yabba? thats no good,

    quaaludes, thats what thailand needs

    that will make everyone happier

    overpriced alcohol, I just dont understand thailand at all I guess

    Everything you've ever posted on this site is utter crap. You have not got a clue about the real Thailand. Your Thailand is malls, bars, condos, areas where tourists hang out, money, the stockmarket, money, money.

    Wa#nker.

    However, you have just posted your first sensible quote "i just don't understand Thailand at all". Excellent.

    I don't know much about Scarpolos history of posts except for the past few days but I'd have to agree with Thaiguzzi as every post is #%*$!.. It seems all his info is from the propagandized MSM in the U.S. and he just may not know how to dig a bit, for real truth... excellent assessment Guzzi! Many Thanks!
