  1. People have to get used to the Shin in Thai politics. They are here to stay, but at least this one is quite pretty. Certainly a step up from that general bloke.
  2. The country’s health minister blah blah? Don’t make me laugh. The cannabis industry here has been a resounding success. There are not mass casualties or extra drunkenness on the roads, are there? The country has not regressed to third world status, has it? It has given the average Joe massive release from pain and anxiety. I have not indulged for months, but it is nice to have the choice without being hamstrung by governmental bs. This crap now has dinosaur written all over it. Lay off, you sad demented old men. Don’t do it if you don’t like it but stop pushing your bs view on others. These a-holes would have it like my own pathetic country if they could.
  3. She is lazy and you are enabling her. Did you guys (dudes on TV who struggle with women) not have relations with the fairer sex before you came out here?
  4. What a donkey. Perhaps smiling donkey’s mate? Embrace it, old dude. Why would these airports be on such a list? It would hardly be vindictive. We are not allowed to do stuff like that in the west anymore. Perhaps, shock horror, those airports really are poor? These things are based on criteria like average queue length (lol), immigration effectiveness (lol), facilities (mmm), duty free (lol), gates & buses (lol) etc etc. Don Mueang is ancient and Suvarnabhumi was always unfinished. Neither is a hub and neither is fantastical.
  5. That’s a short hop. Try booking say Hat Yai to Chiang Mai near a holiday. Could be 5 or 6 grand. Relatively speaking, that is a lot and the airlines rake it in. They know what they’re doing. / sorry, meant to quote your flight example //
  6. Folks feeling there’s a conspiracy against farangs because of the spotlight on cases like this need their head read. We’ll all probably be looked on in a lesser light because of the actions of a few, but first and foremost what this nutcase has done is cowardly and disgusting. Let the prick consider his actions (hitting defenceless women is the lowest of the low) in a nice Thai prison for a few years, then send him right back to his home country along with a permanent Thai blacklist.
  7. Exactly! It’s only governments and the proper rich that take real issue with it. Has continued economic expansion helped us over the last few years? Everything is more expensive, and life in general has only gotten harder for everybody but the rich. Peoples the world over should be aiming for half their population and China and India should get the ball rolling. 😉 Regards Thailand’s pop halving in a few decades, I’m sure smiling donkey’s brothers will make up the shortfall when they eventually invade.
  8. Why not go on a third class train to show he’s one of the people? Sorry, I forgot, he’s got a sore neck/back/arm/wrist/spleen/brain etc etc etc. 🙄
  9. Change up where you live. If Pattaya, I could understand why. Nothing like going ‘home’ for a couple months to put things in perspective. After living here, you will not handle the staid, overbearing left-leaning lifestyle.
  10. And Swiss. This is not a bad thing since there is less focus on dodgy Brits 😋
  11. Gawd, here we go. Smiling like a hillbilly at the fires won’t help, old bean. You gotta get your police force to actively chase down the arsonists, issue over the top fines and throw them in prison.
  12. In all my travels around the world, I’ve never had much joy with them. Find them pretty arrogant, but then I could have just been unlucky on every occasion. Thailand does tend to attract the dregs of western society, however (along with decent folk of course) and this a$$ has done us all a disservice. Deport the first, jail the second.
  13. The F-35B in particular. Got pretty close to one at Yeovilton a few years ago. That is one loud dude.
  14. Trudeau has degraded Canada. This is what happens when a certain political persuasion is given free rein.
  15. Undermine? If you’re a someone with clout in this country—and unless there’s a price on your head—the rules rarely apply. But, at least where Yingluck is concerned, she was nobbled by the army. If she goes down, so should all the illegal coup-makers.
  16. Yes, there's some detailed posts on the above combo on the weed forum. Personally found CBD tends to make me groggy/sluggish and gives me pretty intensive (not of the fun kind) dreams. Prikpot does a capsule.
  17. If the Thais want millions upon millions of tourists, they'll have to expect crass behaviour like this. Not everyone is a Mary Poppins type.
  18. Shock, horror. Thais up in arms because flag has been stolen, though hardly desecrated. You'll see young Thais sat on the Stars n Stripes or Union Jack on the shorts they're wearing... ask them if they have shorts with a Thai flag on... "No! Cannot!"
  19. Poor little laddie can't help where he comes from. Guess that goes for all of us.
  20. ... back to the world of dreams. Srettha will be on the news shortly to label Thailand the hub of meteors. 🙄
  21. Two guesses, and it is not the installed smiling donkey no matter how much cheesy grinning he does. Pathetic.
  22. Bit ott all this. If only the Thais were so gung-ho about changing their illegal governments.
  23. Thai banks suck. Crapola interest rates for foreigners, excessive annual atm card charges, ridiculous out of province atm transaction charge, outlandish transaction charge for foreign cards, rubbish mortgage options, worthless insurance policies. Pretty much garbage all round… but the girls are cute!
