I've been her long enough to see the hypocrisy in the Thai culture. this is the same culture and government that says in the news we are going to show there is no prostituion on walking street announces whenthey are going togo there and loudly proclaims to the media with them that as they have seen there are no prostitutes on walking street let alone any scantily clad ladies or bargirls. An hour after the media and the police an government have left it is back to normal. Itis a country where mom in issaan is quite happy at the end of the month when her daughter sends her 5ooo baht which the money that she made as a waitress in a restaurant. Thai culture is one thing but when you look at it it is the same as a lot of religions in that is has it's faults and they are starting to show. A girl can get on a stage and stand moving from one foot to another and be called a dancer. It is ok that she then goes to a table and massages the customer and goes with him for bar fine and 3k. If this was a true bhuddist country there would not be scantily clad ladies working in bars for money. There would not be Pretties that go to parties as eye candy and to get drunk. Notice tha the country was up in arms about ilegal online gambling. BUT a lot of people do it. Now even though they say it is bad and it hurts families what is the government doing legalizing it for the eliltes to make more money. If online gambling is so bad and we know it is because of the addiction and money that is spent families ruined then what is so bad about a person that goes online in a private forum that does not allow underage and creates a living for the girl other than working at bars. Would you rather have your daughter doing only fans or would you be happier if she worked in a bar?

The challenge is tht so many girls want to be famous and make money with their bodies as either Pretties, bar girls or models that they will do anything. Personally I think if a person wants t do a page to make money then it is a good thing. let them do it as long as they are respetful and don't film outside in the parks or public beaches. Thai governemtn can not tax this so they want to outlaw it. This is too bad but again we hae to treat the people of Thailand like little children and protect them as such.

Heartbroken Irish mum honours ‘special son’ lost on Koh Tao
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yu hve to assume that if he was a member of a dive club in Ireland that he knew what he was doing. Hopefully they are able to find out what happened. I am sort of surprised that thee was not an autopsy. The cause of death must have been really obvious. -
Driver Dies in Multi-Car Collision in Nonthaburi Parking Lot
kingstonkid replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
The question is though how many people are out there in all countries that have conditions that render them dangerous and do not report it or ignore the rules. how many Thais are driving without a licence or insurance. My father had a heart condition and actually passed out in an intersection, Got taken to hospital and told he could no longer drive and that the government was taking his licence away. The only thing that stopped him from driving was that insurance would not insure him and he could not renew the vehicle lilcence. No sticker it is a red flag for cops. How often do Thai cops check veh licenses -
Tourists Detained After Vaping Mid-Air on Nok Air Flight
kingstonkid replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
In a restaurant, BTS MRT or bus, you can get up and get off. It is challenging to do that on a plane. Would you feel the same if you had an allergy or were on the Vancouver to BKK flight and had to smell that crap the whole trip? It has very little to do with 9/11 but has a lot to do with self-respecting and respecting others around you. -

Fined and blacklisted by that airline -
What embassy are you doing your passport at. I ask because some of them will keep your passport, so you should book into accommodations and plan not to do much travel or any activity that requires a passport to be shown. If you are using a CDN passport, and I imagine all the others are about the same, there will be a step in your old passport that tells immigration that it is part of a new passport. That being said, unless you want to take a quick trip to immigration offices in BKK to get the change done in your passport, then I would strongly suggest that you do your exit through DM or Swampy so that you can be assured that someone the\at knows is there to help you.

Lazada, Why so much stuff "Out of Stock"
kingstonkid replied to Beachcomber's topic in General Topics
Most of the people selling on Lazada tick tok Shoppee are individuals who purchase a quantity of an item and then sell it. Therefore, at times, they may run out of stock and have to order or purchase more. It is part of teh issue and the reason why there are so many different prices. Joe sells unique golf balls and seems to be selling a lot Fred sees that they are a hot item and decides to sell them also but instead of buying th large volume that Joe did he just buys from Joe and sells them at a few baht more. -

Not a chance he is going to get time as they already determined the amount and style carried was not personal. -
Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
kingstonkid replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I have the opposite. It is when they don't check to make sure it works They don't ask if I need help because they fear they must speak English. As far as the bow on the bonnet, all the bonnets I have ever seen have a bow wither on top or where they are tied under the chin. -

Bangkok Traffic Innovations Cut City Congestion by 25% in Two Years
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Ontario came up with a better traffic control system although now it's back to where it was. I durance companies almost doubled car Insurance if you drive into Toronto and parking was way over expensive. Looking at NYC which just did the congestion tax I am not sure it will work. Sending a bill that can be ignored doesn't make sense. -

Fears of Chinese New Year Tourist Drop Amid Human Trafficking Alarm
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is TAT trying to downplay the economy that could start to affect Thailand. Bottom line is Chinese are not doing as well financially. Many Chinese companies are probably also a little worried about what is going to hapen on 21 Jan -
That would probably do what he needs unless he wants to watch them on his Notebook. as to recovery of HD try ATL recovery at Asoke Took my HD into them they wre not able to recover anything but were quick and expalined.
