I've got an ex girlfriend who is pregnant with my child. She has convinced a German guy, now living back in Germany that my child is his, he is sending her money. 😮

 

Some foreigners are very lonely, when they get into conversation with a conniving, pretty, petite young Thai woman these guys go to pieces 

 

My SIL did that with her Thai ex boyfriend, so it's not just lonely foreigners...

It never went away. 

Records on reported cases stopped over a year ago. 

So could have been unreported a long time. 

 

I know in Issan that many people especially elderly would not have Moderna vaccine. 

Or come to think of it, any vaccine at all.

 

Very low rates of actual vaccination. 

 

Maybe time to introduce a reactivation of vaccination. 

Very low rates of COVID too, funny that...

Human Rights:

"Vote the wrong way and you are a terrorist!"
"Pray on the streets and you're breaking the law and will be imprisoned."
"Criticize the government at your own peril."
"Men who say they are women - are women - and if you say different you'll be locked up."
"There are only two parties: Tories and Labor.  If you are in a different party, you are a terrorist."

"White people are bad people.  If you say anything different, you'll be thrown into prison as a racist."
"All Palestinians are terrorists.  Say anything different and you are a terrorist too."
"Ukraine is the most Democratic country in Europe.  If you say anything different, you'll be press-ganged and sent to the Eastern Front."
"Putin is Hitler.  Say anything different, and you're Putin's Puppet and a terrorist."
"If your daughters were gang raped by migrants, shut up and get over it.  They are invited guest of the government.  Complain and both you and your daughters will be imprisoned as racists and xenophobes.  Gang rapes and grooming gangs are just "boys having a little fun. Stop complaining!"

"Orban is a terrorist.  If you agree with Orban you're a terrorist.  We're working on getting rid of him."

"If you don't like the unelected European Union and your unelected leaders, you'll be put on a List.  By the way, this is called "Democracy" and if you call it anything else - you're a terrorist!"

Beat me to it, well done...

No surprise, the UK played an instrumental part in the founding and drafting of Human Rights Law.

 

Human Rights Laws are something the UK can be very rightly proud of:

It's a shame that our present government ignores human rights if the humans are Palestinians, Lebanese or Syrian then...

I had a German Neighbour a few years ago,  best Neighbour u could ask for, he bought a House in his Thai wife's name  bought her a Car, and her Daughter a Car, what he didnt know was the wife  was  a Gambler,  playing Poker in undercover places, she  gambled, and lost  the house  on a poker table, the Car too. she told him she was going back to her Village for a weeks holiday, a few days after ...... A Thai man arrived at his house demanding that he leave as the House was now his, (poker winnings)    she had already trasfered the house into his name,  the German man now lives in a Room, iI see him regularly, he looks like a down and out, unshaven,  messed up clothes, the whole experience appears to have damaged him mentally....She's never to be seen again...

I think you are right. Thai QR code cannot be used by my overseas bank apps. All 4 of them. It said  Thai QR code is not recognized by bank apps scanner so I guess each country’s bank app for QR code payment is localized only. 

Of course, the banksters couldn't charge you more for changing countries otherwise...

Not allowed to charge in the UK to the best of my knowledge too but once cash is completely gone, you're at the mercy of the banks and they could start charging for every transaction like they did back in the 70s/80s/90s.  Hence why I was always try to keep cash alive.

Could, and would...

Is there a police force in the world whose serving or former members are in the news almost daily for poor behavior?

 

If they're not shooting their colleagues over some perceived slight, then they are drunk driving and road raging.

Surely you cannot be guilty of tampering with evidence without some incentive being given to you to tamper. So, I assume the court knows who bribed these guys (otherwise they wouldn't be able to prove tampering and rather just negligence of duty). Therefore, why isn't anyone else being charged in this case i.e. the people that paid the bribes/"requested" the tampering with evidence?

 Guess...

I lived with my exwife and her family for years.That helped alot even it took long time to learn it.

Sitting and listen to people speak thai all the time is not for everybody because some live in tourist areas where english is the daily langue.

Everyone around me speaks Isaan/Lao, so my pidgin is as much Lao as Thai, just for added confusion...
