Anybody who allows an obese person to encroach on a seat you have paid for is off their head, it happened to me once on a bus, this big fat guy tried to sit down beside me. I just told him to keep off my space and made a chopping gesture with my hand, he had to turn sideways and put his feet on the passageway. If anyone is too fat to sit on a normal size seat, especially on a plane, should have the decency to buy two seats.

I wonder how much a farang would have been charged, just shows you again the greed of the medical profession in Thailand.

and you are sure about that? Give people to much power and anything can happen.

What about all the rich people with their offshore accounts etc? Are they not committing crimes? Why is their money in offshore accounts in the first place? Would avoiding tax not have anything to do with it?

Lets just see what happens when/if the unelected soldiers go back to their barracks and parade grounds and there is a proper elected government again.

Can you imagine the soldiers government in a cashless society? How are they going to collect all their brown envelopes?

True, but surely that applies to Thailand itself. What is the chance of Thailand moving with the times? Can you imagine that in the country of low IQs? All the unnecessary paperwork, people working in offices who are not computer literate, etc, etc.

Not recently, and not for any medical treatment, and please note that I am not referring to nurses or medical staff. Over the years I have heard stories from other farangs and read lots of negative reports about doctors here on TV/AN and especially since the beginning of the pandemic. One example. the very first time I got my temperature on entering a Lotus store I registered 38, when I told my wife she told me I would need to go to the local hospital (government) I went back to the local Lotus store and took my temperature again, and registered 35. obviously a fault in the temperature thingy. I just knew that if I did have the virus, I would have been kept in and charged thousands as I was a foreigner.

Right on. The greedy people you are referring to would be most of the doctors, the cash registers start ringing in their heads as soon as they see a white face.

There they are, the unelected PM and his sleeping partner. Politicians?? ???? ????

No one on my ignore list, I find that the biggest majority of TV/AN users to be OK, though that is not to say I don't always agree with them.

Sorry I do not understand the question.

I have not been here for that long when Thaksin was PM so I cannot comment, But it would seem that OneMorefarang feels the same way about Thaksin as I feel about the unelected soldier posing as a PM today.

"but I detest driving here, especially in Bangkok," I have driven and rode motorbikes many times in Bangkok and never had a problem with bad drivers, yet I cannot say the same about Pattaya, Nakhon Sawan, Phitsanulok, Rio Et, Khon Kaen, etc, etc.

True, but that may be the chance you have to take when you are in combat.

If you are unfortunately from a country who invades another country and you disagree with it but are conscripted, you don't have to kill, murder or rape anyone, what would stop you from shooting to miss instead of shooting to kill and keeping away from women?

How would Farangs want to show any support to an unelected government official who says we are dirty and don't shower?

I have said this time and again, only police officers above a certain rank can ask to see your passport, don't know which rank though, and no one has came on to say I'm wrong, though I suspect I could be.

Full time. Musician, Bass guitar, Keyboards, Vocals. Part time. Bus driver, HGV driver, Taxi driver. Private investigator.

I would say it is the UK government who are committing the fraud.

They seem to get good reports, but in my experience they are not very good at answering emails.

You mean you have started getting plastered and it's still well before 5pm.

As a PM he should know how to greet people from other countries, don't forget that he took over the country with the army at his back, no previous knowledge of greeting people from other countries. If he was a politician he would soon know the correct protocol. Do you think Thaksin or his sister would have known the correct procedure? Of course they would just like any other proper politician.

It just shows how enept the unelected PM is. Proper elected PMs are real politicians who know all about this protocol.

The unelected PM is a Military Academy educated soldier with about the same low IQ as his countrymen who forced his way into being an PM with soldiers guns and tanks behind his back who is way out of his league amongst real elected politicians, so he is bound to get snubbed. Anyway, was the also unelected Burmese PM at this conference?
