so if a drunk or addict forces his way into your home - you would feel obliged to watch him beat your son to death and rape your daughter while you wait for the police to arrive?

Not sure he did any of this unless I’ve not properly read the story. 

A taste of things to come me thinks. With every Tom Dick and Harry growing weed there is a lot of potential this will become a regular occurrence. An unfortunate consequence of the liberalisation of the cannabis laws. 
Careful where you stray.

They should be banned everywhere,  that would send a strong message to the Kremlin.

If banned it only bolsters Poo Tin’s potential conscription pool. Invite them in that may send a stronger message.

The 2010 world cost me 100,000B when my travel agent scammed me to either place a bet or to pay off her debt for earlier losses.
Victims of such actions extend well beyond the gambling individual and their families. You won’t stop it but be very wary of where you park any large sum of money during this time of World Cup football.

Doesn't Thailand literally have a monthly lottery

Twice monthly 

I’ve found the medical services in Thailand pretty good but they don’t like delivering bad news. So it might be that you’re going to have to ask a lot of questions to get it out of them. The care is good but communication of bad news is poor. 
My experience at least. 
Dental very good. 

Please just say no. Do the right thing by your people. 

Not sure I'd be brave enough to jump headlong into this offer. No sir-eeeeee Bob. All I see is risk, risk, risk, a truckload of red tape and a whole lot of "gotchas"

What is BC?

The lesser known associate of AD

He has a big brown paper bag full of baht he wants to convert. He’s kicking himself he never did it when the rate was 30

I tend to agree. If there was not the threat of lethal reprisals you would see so much more anti- limited military operations protests and activities in the streets of Moscow. We need to be careful not to tar everyone with the same brush. The average Russian is also a victim of Putin’s crime albeit unknowingly. Putin is the real villain here not the powerless people.

the wholier than tho western attitude is pathetic. willing to bet your own nation is as guilty if not more of the same things. 

 

but keep barking on dont let me stop you. 

Woof woof

It’s one of the things that make Thailand interesting. Adds a little colour to what otherwise would be a dreary gray but this then has to be reconciled against all the damage and pain caused to the victims of this corruption. I think it has got to the point where it is now etched indelibly into the DNA of the people and will take many generations to reverse. In the meantime the gravy train will roll on with impunity and payments will continue to be made to those who demand them. 
Change will not be supported or tolerated by beneficiaries of the system and little can be done to change it within the current setup of things in this country. Uprisings against the system will be short-lived and will not be tolerated by those in power. There is little people can do without great risk to themselves and so it goes on…… and on. 
 

And on.

Saw these prods a few years ago in Guangdong, China, kept outside shops every few hundred metres to control the population.

Contraceptives might be a better option

I can think of many others, much worse injustices around the world and he comes here to paddle his twisted view on Thai politics... Go to the Ukraine sir, planty to protests there...

Using the logic put forward by many that have posted he still wouldn't, as a guest of Ukraine, be able to make a political statement.

We all know who and what Prawit is and we all know that a spade is a spade and should be called out as such. Not sure his view of Thai politics is twisted. Perhaps your defense of Thai politics is twisted. Hats off to this man and I just hope he is ready to leave soon.
