For those benefitting from their money maybe, but for everyone else? Bring back covid!

Tens of millions? Really? Be hard pushed for there to have been 10m since the place was a thing. Granted, still not a huge amount of deaths, but nonetheless many iffy ones. Nomsod & co no doubt. Perhaps compare with how many dodgy deaths there have been in Koh Phangan or Phi Phi for instance.

I’ve encountered bad manners from Americans too. Randomly asking for the time on the street with no thanks etc. Must be a cultural thing. Not a patch on the Russians though, and they don’t need defending. That you got a smile off a random bit of skirt for oddly settling her bill does not make up a million other antisocial acts. They do not fit in with the rest of the world, expecting everyone else to bend to their ways, much like the typical Chinese. Planet earth would be better off sans either.

Nope. I take everything they say and do with a pinch of salt, much like the RTP. They’re full of it and do all this blathering for face and job justification. Donkeys.

Also interested in this. Hoping he’s mincemeat already. Anyone elaborate?

Nice, no chips on your shoulder. Article is not bad advice. In the past, have found feigning ignorance of Thai and anything they say in English can cause them some frustration and move you along out of their hair. Sort of like: Q. Where you live? A. Eh? Q. Where come from? A. Wot? Q. How long you stay? A. Huh! Tried this many moons ago and was eventually told to go away lol.

Bangkok police offer public apology, but do not admit to extortion We are very sorry that you got inconvenienced and had to pay all that money for nothing. However, we did absolutely nothing wrong. Never. Not us. Honest. TRUST US! lol ????????

Yep, asking for it. Guessing first time in Thailand. What a donkey!

Roider ????

Agree in part. Bent as a nine bob note, but at least Thailand moved forward and the palms of the ordinary man got greased. Anyone who fancies the current political climate is either thick, deluded or just lost.

Can believe it. Amazing place. Only wished I'd revisited just after covid... before all the hordes from 'that place' rediscover it. Yuck.

Folk who say screw Google are one step away from flat-earth territory ????

You or someone on your network have likely been compromised and are sending numerous requests.

Lol indeed. This guy cannot debate. He is not a politician. He is a supposed soldier boy with very limited brain power—not that politicians have a brain of course, but they are generally good with words. This character will just shut you down when he is losing. Would love to see him in a live ‘debate’ on stage with his nemesis Thaksin so he loses maximum face.

Maybe not in this case, but urotherapy is apparently a thing. Personally haven’t done it—it does sound gross—but know folks that have… dabbing pee and fixing a festering wound when nothing else worked, eg. Also wouldn’t take the words of some medical body as gospel, whose vested interest is to make money pushing pharmaceuticals. The body should know how to sort itself… proper fasting has some big benefits etc.

One hears what one wants to hear I guess. It’s a shame the average hooman is so detached from nature and the universe. Certainly preferable over the constant din of those clanky, smoke-belching metallic things known as cars. These guys are likely calling to others in their flock to make sure they’re there. Mass gatherings: safety in numbers. Likely the myna or starling yes. I miss CM’s birds.

5 4 3 2 1...

Unlikely she’ll want to visit again anyway.

That’s only a part of the answer. It’s the whole police system that needs to change. They buy their way in and then, just like the mafia, are required to ‘bung up’. It’s essentially a Ponzi scheme and the more you bung the higher you will go for a proper piece of the action.

Easy to mock the Thais on this one—be able to see other countries etc, I get it, that’s funny. But good luck to em. There’s some brilliant minds here and also a ton of money for good stuff like this… though typically hidden away in army coffers,

It is what it is, about right actually, we’re not in Kansas, but what’s that gotta do with the price of fish? If it were the same as your home country, would you be able to afford it here? How’s about the average Indian wage while poverty reigns supreme and Britain still sends them billions every single year. They have a huge space industry compared with Britain. All irrelevant.

What confidence? What trust? Lol Everyone knows Thailand has a price. While tempting to jump all over the Chinese, this carry on can apply to all visitors with clout. Only reason it is a thing is because it’s out. Nice one, Thailand. Don’t worry, we all know the score; your reputation remains untarnished. > irony filter off >>

You’re barking up the wrong tree and have misquoted since I was replying to the guy that was referring to how people comment on these events… yours included which are in bad taste. Good chance his family are reading this. In all my years riding here, never once have I had an altercation with another biker. Maybe he said something to them.

Jeez, how old is he? Thing is, general, that’s what 99.99% of this country says to the other when your name is mentioned.

Can’t see that happening. The gorilla in the room likely has a few cards up his sleeve.
