Quite likely. Most government positions have a price tag on them. Even entry level positions come with a fairly hefty price amounting to well over a year’s salary. There’d be some serious dosh up for a Governor position (x77 provinces)

Looking at the video I think the lights were on but there was nobody home. His glazed-over eyes suggests he was either drunk, high, or mentally challenged. Not a good look whichever way you look at it.

I know of a pedo who, within a few days of incarceration, was in hospital with a broom stick inserted into where the sun don’t shine. Sleep well Richard.

No mention of Taiwan as a candidate. Now, that would be interesting.

And may their fingers turn to fish hooks and their armpits be infested by the fleas of a thousand camels.

How? By responding to an obviously corrupt and obscene bribe attempt? By seeking a proper judicial outcome to the violence she was subjected to? You seem to be pushing your lady hater views into the spotlight with little or no logic to your claim.

It’s now becoming more common that to pay using your phone incurs an extra fee. Someone is making money from this convenience and I think you’ll find it’s the banks. Don’t kid yourself, it’s just another way of the banks milking you to increase their profits. A few years ago very few businesses charged the surcharge in Australia but now almost all do. At least with cash if something costs a hundred bucks that’s all you pay. Not $101.60 using the phone. It adds up over a year and it all goes to the banks. No wonder they are pushing for it’s uptake

Even more so in the early Eighties. By the end of the 90s it was already turning to crap

Someone is going to get rich from this and it ain’t gonna be the punters. I see a lot of pain and grief ahead for a lot of families.

Yikes. There goes the neighbourhood. A bit of due diligence will be required if one is buying into a condo down the track sometime.

Yeah. It wouldn't have anything to do with the number of incoming tourists jumping to the millions. Yeah. That too

If the call doesn’t show up as a contact from my list then I don’t answer. If it’s important they can leave a message. I find this approach reduces the chances of getting caught up in these phone scams.

820. Probably the equivalent of 50 cigarettes a day.

She was just being a “prick”.

Best thing I ever did was to give up smoking. Healthier and safer in so many ways.

It seems now everyone is kicking her in the guts whereas a month ago she had almost unanimous support on this forum. Seems to be big dose of victim blaming going on now. My take is that if she doesn’t keep the incident in the spotlight this POS will get off scot free. If his actions weren’t acceptable a month ago then they aren’t acceptable today. People should stop defending him and making this woman out to be the bad ‘guy’.

I believe this to be the case also but have no real proof. Just my gut feel of what is going on.

I concur. These people are the product of Putin’s Russia. Both ignorant and arrogant with a strong belief in their entitlements according to what the Russian media feeds them. Six months in the monkey house then off to the front.

So much easier for men

I wonder if he ever made video contact with her or was it all audio communication.

Hats off to them. Very progressive and understanding approach to equality. I give credit where credit is due.

Good luck but I believe he is pi$$ing into the wind with this one. It will bring it back into the public forum but once again will lapse in the face of a lot Baht.

Phuket Dave will be shouting "Double Standards"

With almost 5000km of porous land borders with neighboring countries it’s no wonder. I’m not sure they are a threat to the Thai economy insofar as most of them would not work in tourism and are being exploited and used in many of the crap jobs not wanted by the average Thai. Thailand’s economy would be much worse without them.

Quite likely. Par for the course
