I don't think it is a simpler view of life. We had our issues in the 70's as well Gay men, aids, black white, native Cdn and immigrants. The big differences are that in those days you had to be accountable for your beleifs. There was ot the disparaty of media we didnot have social media that you could hide from. If you sent a text it was from your phone under your name not some unknown that you could hide behind. people back then were also more willing to discuss issues and not label people just because we slightly differed. Vegetarions were strange but we did not label them nor did we hear them calling us murderers. Gilrs that played road hockey, climbed trees and played war were not misgendered they were just tomboys that liked playing with their friends. Businesses ran on making money and providing a good service and good product for a fair price. This de4cade is going hrough it's own version of the summer of love and glower power, The one thing they have not figured out is that like they will once they get into the real world work force and try to raise a family a lot of what they are preaching about disappears.

Car accident, who should pay the excess?
kingstonkid replied to sanook 1's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I agree but would also sue him. In this country it is illegal not to have I'd the cops know who it is if you called them to investigate. If you didn't then it is your fault so just pay. -
Canadian Military GUYS will kick your assets. It is the politicians that are pussies. None of the Liberal following of Petit Pierre ever served in the military. The Trudeau family has been trying for decades to castrate the military. He sees what Joe is doing and is trying to out woke him. 40 years ago the liberal government put a separatist in the minister spot. The idiot refused to talk to Anglo or bilingual Anglo soldiers. in order to ensure that he had the base commander send us all home. Since it was a Friday, we all went to the mess and started beer calls early. Talk about a lot of pissed-off Franco phones as they had to stay at work and talk to the idiot. the local MP invited me for a beer after a town function because she wanted to know what happened. The Base Commander came to sit down and join her but she told hm to leave. My Monday morning was interesting to say the least. Enrollment will decrease, and it will be interesting to see what happens to these machines. LOL Surprising what can happen in a room with no cameras.

Masks were widely used and sold here prior to covid during the winter months against the PM2.5 and flu season. I think that was part of the reason that it was so easy for people to start wearing them with covid. most of them already were.

The Democratic Party was the military elite's arm of power. Unfortunately for them, the military decided that they wanted their own party and that killed the Dems. The next blow to the party was not reading the tea leaves. When they realized they were being abandoned unfortunately the old guard said they could march through. The prognosis for this party is that they will become like a lot of other Thai parties just a vehicle for a couple of old men to get more money out of the system and maintain a semblance of power. When you court and vote for your long-time rival PTP then you are admitting you are done and dusted and do not really mean what you say. Then you bring in an old fossil that said he would quit if they lost as your leader instead of someone younger who understands where the people are going.

on here it is not his mouth lol

My understanding is that for you to register your business it has to be in a majority Thai ownership. For the company to legally employ you you need 2 thai employees who are actually on our payroll and are being paid a legitimate wage. As an aside what will you tell your clients about this? Another option would be to have your business use an address in your country but then you are going to have to pay taxes in your country.

The courts do not side with the rich against the poor. They side with those that help the cause and those that do not. The power in this country has been and always will be with those who are loyal to the dollar and the betterment of the elite. There was an article in a newspaper not discovered here that outlined the history of the country and showed that the elite and the military have always controlled the country and when they start to lose it all of a sudden there is a riot and protest that needs the military to resolve it. The next election can, in fact be the most contentious yet in the history of the country. Some experts think that MFP will be hurt by not taking power. I think that it is a smart move not to be in power because they can train their people and get rid of the kinks and loopholes that have haunted them. Also, people are going to remember the deals that were made (PT joining with the military, DEM voting for a PTP prime minister and of course the military giving special treatment to Thaksin after all their screaming) People are going to vote on a 1 party agenda so that the Senate does not have the power to control the country.

Transgender woman accused of 200,000 baht gold theft in Pattaya
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The other catch is this idiot got so drunk that he passed out in the street. I am sorry but rolling a drunk was an easy way to make money before CCTV -
I would look at a Muay Thai facility. Especially a Thai one that has lots of yourng Thai students. I am sure you will get volunteers and help. You might lsolearn a few things LOL

How long an actual 60 minute be actual massaging?
kingstonkid replied to DonniePeverley's topic in General Topics
Did you mention it when you were leaving. I hve run into that a few times. Once mentioned it to the lady in charge told the girl she was short. I know that with a oil massage time in shower is part of it. I agree though the farther away from tourist traps the better also if you go to the same spa just mention it and ask why it seemed so short. Usually, they will tell you and you can move on from there -
Bars can stay open until 6am on New Year’s Day
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Then peyhavs to drive back to cities for work on Tuesday. Yep great plan. Will be interesting see how many bars are open at 6. -
There's so many issues you need to blow the whole thing up. Change the rules in one school. Have tests that matter Get rid of social pass. Create a test that's mandatory for students to pass. Give it to the teacher to see who is capable.

Why not train at muay Thai I am sure you will find someone there by

Siam is still trying to figure out automobiles and democracy. The challenge is that you have a small group at the top and a large but relatively quiet group at the bottom. In between you have the people who have no idea how to do anything but play solitaire or WhatsApp on their computers or smartphones. That still believe in the good old days when Thailand was a power in SE Asia. Where the monks were to be revered and held to high esteem Anything that was not in the true sense of the Bhuddist life they were brought up in was wrong. The oldest son was responsible for looking after his parents as they got older. Basically, the good old days. The small group at the top may not be that smart, but they hire people who are and know how to use ignorance or nostalgia as a means to keep control. Consider why so many people support the military and revere it. It is going to take a few decades to get over this. Many countries are in the midst of this in Asia and I fear in Africa also. India is gong through this change. Pakistan is going through it as women get access to the internet and thereby the world. In the 90's the 3 biggest letters feared were M T V.
