Chuwit: Bigger Gambling Network Than Macau888 Run By An Inspector
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The part that many of us forget us that SEAsia is not a 22 century countries. Yes they have many of the tools but the thinking process is still early 21st century at best. Look back in history at government and corruption in the 1920- 1960 when corruption was rampant with organized crime. People then that had money did what's being done now. -
New Rule: A Woke Revolution | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)
kingstonkid replied to mania's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Wokeism is a more radical version of flower power and the left right world. The major problem is that if you disagree with a liberal person you are a racist is the bi argument. It is a huge problem in the u.s. because it has removed the ability to have a conversation and discussion. Note that universities now have snowflake rooms. A good example is the hockey player that didn't agree with LGBTQ and said for religious reasons he would not wear a pride jersey or rainbow tape. -

And tell me with a serious face that there isn't and never was corruption in your country's police The mob comes to mind as well as policians that owe their wealth and status to other countries or people lobby groups of shady businesses -
Downtown was developed because people used to travel down towards the waterfront. Toronto Canada downtown is Yonge and south of bloor Montreal is the old city again near the water. When people moved they moved up to higher ground or area. There really is no downtown in Bangkok hence they use city center but then again that doesn't seem to fit either

In Canada I rented a lot of units and used the cheapest Materials when I could Plywood and 1x1 are your best things to strengthen integrity. All you have to do to waterproof is paint the plywood. I would use wood glue and screws to connect. I would also not trust those stupid stick male in female turn connector

Immigration Officers Charged Over Illegal Visa Malfeasance
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
old news and really not much there -
The challenge here is that TS is hoping that enough of the young people don't know who he is or what he did. Then they will vote for him as he was a wronged person. This country's election system is screwed up on various levels. First is the fact that people are not told to vote for a party or a person but for a number, Second the people really do not care and have no idea who or what the local candidate stands for because a national popularity contest overshadows it. Third, because of Lese Majeste and slander laws, candidates can not attack their opponents or outline what they have done in the past or not done. fourth, and this is one, maybe someone can explain how it is a good thing t have people at are not elected but had enough money to get appointed to being an MP or, better still, a cabinet minister. The young people need to start their protests again outlining their desires as well as what the different people' parties' issues are.

Buy insurance: British tourist issues warning after moped crash
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
OOPS worded it wrong. Should have said there is a lot of explaining I agree it is not up to her but on the other hand it was not up to her to go to the media with this. I just wish all media would tell the whole story of things not just n this case but in all neews. -
Buy insurance: British tourist issues warning after moped crash
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How does a 20k baht bill become 20k pounds She still has a lot of explaining to do. No offence but I think there is more to this story like what happened to the house and the people that live in it. -
The one thing about this site is that we can agree to disagree. I am not sure where you come from but I was raised that if a friend was doing something dangerous to himself or others you told him and let him make his own decision after that.

The fact is that for every cop that is on the take and it is usually the older ones there are cops that are trying to do their jobs. He is right though that the police at the bottom are not paid enough to be able to live let alone support a family. I am a firm believer that they should be paid a living wage and then if they get caught doing something wrong be punished. A senior member of the police should be paid well but if found being corrupt not only do they get charged BUT if found guilty they forfeit everything they have as well as their pension.

It is what friends do Especially if asked. If you were to get in a car that had iffy brakes and were going on the highway if a friend new about them would you not be <deleted> after you wrecked on the road?

CanadaSam The inactive post is the same here as it is in Canada. If you are thought or charged, or the police want to investigate the first thing that any business has to do is move the person being investigated or charged somewhere that he cannot be involved. The last time I checked the innocent until proven guilty is still in play.

Goat my 2 baht First warn him just as an aside. Get him to get protection and talk to a lawyer here so that he can cover himself as much as possible in the case. hey do pre nupt here. Second thing You never know she may be on the level and want to get out of the business. I know a lot of girls roughly her age that are working girls, and if the right man came along and was willing to support them and show them the affection they would jump at the chance. Depending on where she is working she may not be making a lot and sees all the young hotties taking her place. My worry is the 22 year old son. Anyway you look at it you can be in trouble. If it all goes pear shape and yo did not warn him he will be upset. But as a friend, if you tell him what you think and do it as a friend over a pint then let congratulate him and tell him that you really hope t works for him then you have said what you had to and let it drop.

There is no way they could be protected. Too much is happening with imm also when they arrest the people with the fake Visa they have to take out the source -
Chuwit claims "brothel" owned by well known businessman set to reopen
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The questoin though is why is he doing this? And it is not to make Thailand a better place. -
It is more a big city problem than a Thailand problem. To put it in perspective, does anyone remember what it was like in your home country? I live in Pathum Thai, and everything here moves quite quickly as we do not have the huge numbers ll wanting it now. People here go prepared with books, friends or phones.

It's actually interesting. If the police have a reason to keep Suk clean they can do it. Just had to be there for ASEAN summit. Cops all over and all the stalls closedi have also noticed that the street bars are gone.

Taxi Scams Remain Top Complaint Among Foreign Tourists in Thailand
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If tourists are going to be stupid enough to get in taxis with no meter they deserve to get fleeced. These are the same people that will argue and want a lower price for a t shirt then walk out and get a tuk tuk with no concerns. -
Just imagine what Nana would look like if they enforced all the rules about vaping sex toys and prostitution. Wow would it be quiet.

The only girls he us going to find that can travel and look after him are uni students if classes are out or working girls in bar or spa. No matter what or who he gets it will cost him for their time and clothes and meals and possibly a generous donation to mamasan favorite charity. If he was in bkk I would say take him to nana and see if any of the girls in the street interest him. He can always take it for a test run.
