You're not forgetting all the old western men arrested around Thailand for 'illegal' gatherings of late I hope.

It's surreal as you drive bast the massive new shiny Bang Su Grand Station and see the dozens of decrepit trains lined up near it..

Rumours abound that he works for someone bigger. THat he will either get a suspended sentence, or be sent to jail in 'name only'.

A shopping street if done right, could be a nice alternative to over abundance or sterile malls, especially if they try to keep/enhance the current character. At least they don't appear to be knocking everything down *fingers crossed*

Let's play a game? How many inaccuracies can see you spot in Thanakorn's statement?

"Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said today (Thursday) that a censure debate is a mechanism for opposition parties to keep a check on the government, but urging people to vote against the government is not, adding that, if the opposition has valid evidence of alleged wrongdoings by the government or any ministers, there are other legal channels through which they can proceed to take action." Let's play a game? How many failings can see you spot in Thanakorn's statement?

That looks like murder to me.

Buy, not produce.

Koh Phangan is full of 'alternative' lifestyle foreigners who believe their lifestyle means Covid is a non-issue for them. Perhaps they are right, but their non-issue is an issue for for everyone else. There are laws/rules, and they have to follow them just as your average Thai or I do. Their self-centered detachment with a large dash of moral superiority is troubling, and potentially dangerous.

Do what I saw, don't do what I do.

I simply love it when the rubbish spouted by local officialdom gets called out by the international community. It's just so satisfying.
