Yes, the culture shock exists in both directions.
Often blinded by the 2 week vacation millionaires, the prince turns out to be a normal worker in his small dwelling.- 1

Ministers from the 27 other states took just two minutes in Brussels to endorse new instructions to their negotiator Michel Barnier,...
Only 2 minutes, this must be a new record. -
The Anti-graft seminar attracted about 50 people.
The event was observed by at least 20 policemen, including some in plain clothes.
This already has North Korea level.
Sad.

Between soldiers it is an honor to maintain friendship and brotherhood until death.
This applies to soldiers in the war field.
On the other hand, in politics, it can be deadly not to drop such a hot potato, immediately.

Since the coup of 2014, a reelection has been postponed several times.
Does anyone know the exact number of election shifts?
At some point, the lack of credibility Begins.

What is wrong with that.
The poor guy has only some cold ears and just get them warmed up.

Stupid law.
1. The amount of the punishments are in no relation to other offenses.
2. Not the smoking on the beach should be punished but the throw away of garbage. The environmental awareness of many tourists is far higher than that of many Thais.
Many tourists collect their garbage and bring it to the garbage bin.
If there are any at all.
3. Some smokers roll their cigarettes themselves without synthetic plastic filters. From these cigarette rests there is less danger to the environment than from every 7-11 plastic bag.
Thailand should choose more smarter law makers.

In the history of all the governments of Thailand another shabby low.
Before I was glad that the army had stopped the riots and has promised to fight corruption.
Now they should better go and make place for more honest people.

Over a decade now koh phangan was absolutely full of tourists, you could easily find a basic wooden backpacker bungalow on the beach with a bed and a hammock on the porch for 150-250 baht and people could stay for the long term. It was all you needed to see out the European winter.
Somewhere along the time line greedy locals saw many resorts in samui and phuket and thought they could make more money if they thought they could attract a higher status tourist, cutting down the natural surroundings we come here for and building concrete monstrosities 10 times the price of a wooden bungalow, trashing what we came here for. was it any surprise no one could afford to stay there for the winter?
Haad rin is now a ghost town, a shadow of its former self destroyed by greed, granted 3-4 days around full moon time it's busy again but quickly goes dead.
Smart operators set up backpacker hostels further inland than the beaches we would stay on prior so no one status for the long term but they are a lot of fun for young backpackers and it's laughable that the locals are livid.
I recommend they should go back to basic wooden bungalows with a mattress and a fan inside with a hammock on the porch and charge a realistic price then the island could be busy all year, air conditioning and lcd tv's in concrete bungalows in the beach are a curse for local tourism.
Spot on.
I know this island for 25 years and the development is sad.
Haadrin, with one of the nicest beaches has got lost 15 years ago, when many owners have started to built concrete row houses on the beach properties. Today Haadrin looks more like a slum then a Holiday Destination.
The same has happened years ago with Mae Hat, prior has national park Level in front from Koh Ma. Now there are spread ugly concrete resorts which have bolted the beach accesses with high walls and barbed wire.
Now the same happens with Chaloklam, formerly the last nice and natural fishing village of three islands Samui, Phangan and Tao. Now with a illegal high built Hotel construction, which looks like a toilet.
The last development are concrete houses near the beach with 4-metre-high concrete walls around.
At Tong Nai Pan Noi is the same.
Nature shaved away and concrete in poured.
Soon also Koh Phangan will be destroyed by corruption, greed and money laundering.
And often the big Investors coming from the mainland and give a s..t for the Island born natives.
In Thailand it is all about money. -
Ashes on my head. I only read the title line. But nong nat is not a pornstar. She has played in a few B movies.Not more. There are completely different calibers in Bangkok and they have not made films.

They should skip this Project and
giving all involved a free wristwatch.
Problem solved.

Why he does not just say that he forgot to declare his watch collection in the value of 30 million. As you can see in the case of Tarit the penalty is only 5000 Baht if you hide 37 million.
The judgments for the possession of unexplained wealth are here rather a reward than a punishment.
-
Concealing over 37 Million Baht.
Fine: 5000 Baht.
That's a joke.
Obviously breaking the laws is worth it here. The honest people are the stupid ones. The criminal and corrupt are the winners.
Sad social model.

Anti-graft officials have made an appointment with four unnamed individuals
Unnamed?
Why are not the names mentioned? The case is of the greatest public interest. The institution that should ensure transparency, veiled here.
Maybe some chinese friends from the weapons and railway industry?

His sympathy and poll ratings must have slipped a lot. In the beginning there were some published surveys. Since last time nothing.
Due to the many scandals and increasing restrictions on many fundamental rights, the mood in the country has changed.

I don't think any sane person could believe this lot are clean. In fact the military are probably the most corrupt of the lot. However, what was not expected was that they would be so in your face with their corruption. I doubt even their supporters could find an excuse for Prawit.
This watch thing is only the tip of the iceberg. The bank accounts, properties and various other assets held by the generals and their relatives (if revealed to the public) would make Prawit's watch collection seem the equivalent of mini lego set. But out of sight is out of mind. So we have to hammer on about the matters we know about - which makes me wonder why there is no further news on Prayuth's brother's house. The fact of the matter is this will never be pursued. And Prawit will not lose his job. These men have no shame. And the irony is that most Thai people, and even many ex-pats have no idea what is going on, and have bought into the fake narrative they have created about cleaning things up. Talk about deflection. Maybe these clowns are smarter than we give them credit for!
Anyone who pays or must pay taxes in this country can only be annoyed with those thieves who claim to be good and honest.

He borrowed 20 watches from a dead friend? The military government should drop this hot potato to preserve a bit of credibility,

In retrospect, she will certainly think, that a job as an escort for fundraising, would have been better.

I wish the Thai people would once get a honest and sincere government. Corruption is like a cancer, if the ulcer is recognized it needs to be cut out immediately and consistently. Unfortunately, that does not happen, and so thailand will stay at the intensive care unit for infirmity patients for decades.

What an idiot.
He can not only drive, but is also mentally unstable.
Such idiots belong in a psychiatric prison under lock.

The Russians have recently been very much interested in the transatlantic overseas cables. The whole global financial and communications system depends on it. Tapping, listening, manipulating or blasting.

Thailand just can not get rid of this corruption. It is a shame that state officials can steal from the population with impunity.
