Thanks all, it got sorted.

So there's no business for the Nigerians now I guess because the Thais themselves are selling.

Actually, I hadn't thought of Line.

I just don't want to use websites and banking, etc.

If I can reach someone on Line and they deliver I would go for that!

I used to buy off the Nigerians on Sukhumvit. I would get their number and tip them for meeting me at an unrelated Skytrain station to do the business away from trouble.

I left Thailand some years ago but I am currently back on a trip and things have obviously changed.

Last week I went into a place on Sukhumvit 22 and they had all these designer imports for 450THB to 800THB per gram. I bought a gram and smoked it all that evening.

Actually, I am not into the commercialised side of things, I don't care for all these fancy strains, I prefer to have something that will last me a few days that simply gets the job done and isn't so expensive.

Are the Nigerians still selling the brick weed on Sukhumvit these days?

Anyone know where I can get a few days supply for 1000THB?

P.S. No ordering online. I want to go physically.

Cheers

What does this mean?

Sustainable = to ensure the elite's ongoing grip on the purse strings.

Thai = Project Thai, a highly successful form of pre-internet mass brain-washing.

Idealism = gobbledygook as "culture" and "security" in order to facilitate the sustainable and the Thai.

Then why the comments about the people removing corrupt officials in votes while this clearly is the job of the judiciary. Only when corruption cannot be proven in a court of law but is highly likely the people might think about it in the election and get rid of those officials. But that has nothing to do with this case where the guy was caught red handed by the judiciary and the evidence is overwhelming.  Unless you mean he should not be prosecuted because he was voted in and popular. 

They must have a vote to choose who governs them. If they don't like someone because they think they are corrupt they can use their vote.

These silly, time-wasting strawman comments are boring. Supporters of an oppressive military government consistantly do this: they talk about now with no context with regards to underlying issues. They treat everything as though it is as simple as prosecuting the bad people who are 'clean-able'... it's an extention of junta propaganda that doesn't want questions beyond their chosen bugbears.

"I guess you think this...." - putting words into people's mouths - is just one of the games they have to play.

I guess your one of those guys that thinks a government can do as they want break the law as long as they are voted in.

You guess wrong, that would be silly.

So now you show very clearly your bias, well done.

You have no intelligent answer to my point:

What matters is for Thai people to have a democratic process so they can remove corrupt people themselves. If the Thai people choose Thaksin or Prayuth it's up to them. If they get cleaned up or not, it's up to them.

Your guilty of the same, you overlook why the junta came into the whole mess.

 

[Aside, to the peanut gallery]:

See? Time-wasting nonsense posts that go round and round. Here I am obliged to point out the flippin' obvious (what I really think of why they snatched power and how it is everywhere across the forums) or he somehow thinks he scored a point. Might as well argue with a chimpanzee, and thus it's preferable just to point and laugh.

I just don't understand why the mods don't delete most of the posters. This is not about red yellow shirt army or any of that. There are other threads. 

This topic is about if boonsong deserved 42 years. Most of the posts don't even refer to boonsong. 

It's pathetic the biasedNess in this forum. 

The story cannot be taken separately from its context. The forum posts cannot be taken separately from theirs.

It's impossible to discuss stories like this without a lot of time-wasting posts to negate misleading bias or propaganda. It would be lovely to simply come here and comment on how a corrupt politician got his due, or how this is not proper justice for whatever reason - but however you look at it there are more fundamental underlying issues that inevitably will keep playing out until enough hearts and minds have changed (and they do sometimes) one way or another.

I guess we all have our own idea of what is important in life. For you it seems to be the temporary and rather mild oppression of political rights as some remedy is sought to the governmental disasters foisted on the minority of voters.

Others consider that keeping the peace, prosecuting those who have betrayed the trust put in them, and reducing the opportunities for corruption as more important.

I suppose what really makes you sick to the stomach is the acceptance by Thais of the current regime. tough TIT.

As I said, unreasonable: "Temporary" is not the system they are putting into place. You come across as dishonest as they do for parroting their propaganda....

A "minority" of people comes across as deceit since you have never adequately justified your position that Shin votes were bought.

Your claim they are "prosecuting those who have betrayed the trust put in them" is their propaganda again, it certainly doesn't reflect reality, like your basic failure to explain the junta amnesty for themselves and their lack of transparency with regards to finance and nepotism. So what is there in your words to be taken seriously?

Your final line: "I suppose what really makes you sick to the stomach is the acceptance by Thais of the current regime. tough TIT" - that is just stupid talk.

So... ridicule.

And your conveniently ignoring lots of details about the paymaster and his paid company yes men (the pt red parliamentarians) none of whom every make a speech in parliament because they were forbidden to do so, and more, is that what democracy is all about? 

None of that matters.

What matters is for Thai people to have a democratic process so they can remove corrupt people themselves. If the Thai people choose Thaksin or Prayuth it's up to them. If they get cleaned up or not, it's up to them.

Crucial factors - what does that mean?

Like claiming the junta government are keeping the peace and working against corruption. For not recognising the oppression and for patronising and disrespecting normal folk who should not have their right to vote, assembly or free speech taken away.

Stupid, time-wasting argumentlike "They never had true freedom anyway" and suchlike are rather disgusting apologies for supporting an oppressive regime.

And it is so boring and unnecessary to have to keep repeating these basic points.

Ad nauseaum. Ad nauseaum. Ad nauseaum.

Im disrespectful because the other side is too. If you post bad things about the shins your a junta hugger or opposed to democracy. Your remark was not really respectful either and never touched the facts of this topic. Just a ohhh so nice to see all those in favor of the junta in one topic. One can condemn the Shins and junta on actions they did both sides did some good things too.

Posting bad things about the Shins whilst overlooking the junta - who are actually in government, wrongly by any law in any land - shows your bias and lack of reason. Not much to be taken seriously there, I'm afraid. On the contrary, you alienate people by calling them 'reds' and it makes you look silly. The implication is you can't maintain a position without deflecting or misrepresenting.

I was commenting on your statement that " pro-yellow behave unreasonably ". What is unreasonable about demanding your government is not corrupt?

1. That is not the case. That's what 'pro-yellow' means. They actively support the junta government and/or overlook crucial factors.

2. It is unreasonable to demand a government to be not corrupt in the current situation: the only way forwards is to be civilised and allow people a voice in order to work towards a better tomorrow.

Yes, it is SO unreasonable to point out that the government is corrupt. How dare they! Don't they realise that a minority 49% lose all rights when they lose an election, and that the majority 51% have given their criminals a mandate to steal as much as they can.

I don't understand your point. You seem to be being sarcastic. Is that an anti-democracy rant or are you complaining about The Shins again?

Here's me meeting you half way....

O my, that's awful.

I hope your going to apply your 'rule' to both camps.

I would, but in this regard both camps are dissimilar in that pro-yellow behave unreasonably whereas there seems to be fewer instances of pro-reds being so unreasonable, partially explained I think precisely because of the problem highlighted in robblok's silly reply to me: most of the time, it is not 'reds' posting. It's tiresome stuff and I don't believe they (rob and others like him) are completely unaware they are doing it, thus the disdain.

You could try to dispute the facts of the thread.. but I know how much those on the red side hate facts.

I don't dispute "facts" with stupid people. Precisely because you are disrespectful of others to say "on the red side" marks you as unworthy of a reasonable debate. You deserve ridicule.

Aww, how cute: a thread that supporters of oppressive authoritarian governments can come and feel safe together.

How lovely.

Lead story on the BBC website. For a society that places so much value on face, they really do have a knack for washing their dirty laundry in public.

 

The Junta hounding after the incredibly popular, democratically elected PM that they removed via yet another coup. Whatever you think of Yingluck, it's not a positive image for Thailand.

The disconnect is at Thailand's borders. Face to Thais in Thailand is what it's about. However the world perceives Thailand's face is, of course, dictated by Thai face.

Of course he thinks that: this is His Master's Voice.

She got drunk and killed someone whilst driving, and if that wasn't bad enough, went drink driving again.

Anything she says cannot be trusted as she's shown what kind of person she is: one that gets drunk, kills someone and continues to drink and drive.

She shouldn't have done it the first time, she shouldn't have done it the second time, so why should anyone listen to her now?

Nothing she can ever do will bring back that life she took. She needs to shut her mouth.
