Confuscious

Here is a "katoi" for you. Not much different.

Thailand remains the biggest sex destination on earth. Since the upcoming of social media and other digital channels, the sex industry in Thialand has found other ways to sell their products. But it is now far more than it used to be. Visit a few bars, even locally, and see how many girls are steadily communicating with potential customers on their mobile. Ladies and ladyboys in meeting sites are offering their nude pictures/videos and life shows. Take a few moments of your time to browse websites like Twitter (X), YouTube, Instagram, and si in and you will see how many people are logging in these sites. Browse a few hashtags like #sexinbangkok, #sexinhuahin, etc. As long as there is a demand for this, Thailand will not change. And there is a huge demand for this worldwide. The "woman" in this thread would not get 1 customer a decade ago, and she has now on her Twitter account over 100K followers (she has also other accounts like "Line" where the number of followers are far more. Times changed but not the people.

Her Twitter / Line accounts are still fully operational. I think she has been released after giving the RTP free accounts.

Weither it's bad or not (for the IMAGO of Thailand) is none of my business. But to pick out 1 person for selling sex pictures/sex videos while there are thousand others on the same site and sellling sex is like doing a walk with the whole police force of Pattaya and claim that they did not see prostitution. Hilarious. The Thai police and the Thai leaders need to clean their act up and start admitting that Thailand is 1 big whore house and most of the tourists come to Thailand because of this.

Tastes can differ ...

I have a few of these plants growing out of nowhere in my garden. Looked up in Google and it seems that this plant would be good against high blood pressure and Diabetes. But could not find how to prepare the plant. Are the benefits in the leaves or the fruits? Do I need to crush the fruits and make a tea out of it or can I eat the fruits? TIA

99,99% of these scammers are supported by Facebook and Facebook received complaints from users. The Thai authorities should prosecute Facebook for he scam too. Allowing somebody to use the social media channel for practices that are against the law is cooperating in crime. Time for Thailand to step in into that social media channel and bring them to court for allowing criminals to use and support their social media channel.

Sex trafficking in Thailand is human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and slavery that occurs in the Kingdom of Thailand. Thailand is a country of origin, destination, and transit for sex trafficking.[1] The sexual exploitation of children in Thailand is a problem. In Thailand, close to 40,000 children under the age of 16 are believed to be in the sex trade, working in clubs, bars, and brothels.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_trafficking_in_Thailand

How long are you living in Thailand? You never see complete families selling their young daughters to auction their virginity? Crawl back under your stone and argue with somebody of your own level.

Never read about old man marrying young kids from 7 years old in Jemen? A practice that is going on now? And, no, I don't fancy having sex with a kid. Although many people coming to Thailand like that and I can see many retired foreigners walking with a girl who has barely finished school.

Who was the youngest wives of Muhammad? A preponderance of classical sources converge on Aisha being 6 or 7 years old at the time of her marriage, and 9 at the consummation; her age has become a source of ideological friction in modern times. Aisha had an important role in early Islamic history, both during Muhammad's life and after his death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aisha#:~:text=A preponderance of classical sources,life and after his death. Bible: Child Marriage in Ancient Israelite times – Paedophilia? In Biblical times people were married at a very young age. Girls were usually betrothed before they reached puberty – majority of the time the marriage would have consummated when the girl reached puberty, and that was usually between the ages of 8, 9 or older,(Note: when a girl reached puberty prior to the 20th century, she was considered to be an adult in most cultures/societies). In this article I will mostly quote Scholarly sources to prove that marriage in ancient Israelite times took place at a very young age, sometimes the girls who were married off were pre-pubescent. There was no law against a pre-pubescent girl being married off. Actually as you will read further, you will come to realise that the Mishnah gave approval for a Man to have intercourse to a betrothed girl, any-time after the age of three years old. https://discover-the-truth.com/2013/09/14/bible-child-marriage-in-ancient-israelite-times-paedophilia/ According to my knowledge, the Chinese are not the only ones who fancy to f..k young girls.

I remember a few weeks ago, cars on the way to terminal 21 were parked hundred meters away from Terminal 21 and inside terminal 21 there was so many people that the 6 floors were full. People screaming and applauding wildly. Later I found out that a TikTok influencer with his dogs was on stage and everyone came to see these dogs.

Bush and Blair got nothing for killing millions of innocent citizens and destabilizing a complete regio, Moral of the story: If you want to kill, do it big and you will not be punished.

Drivers License SCAMMERS ผู้ดูแลเว็บไซต์ กรมการขนส่งทางบก <webmaster AT dlt.mail.go.th> Wed, Nov 1, 9:04 AM We are not complacent about the actions of criminals. We are continuously reporting to Facebook because the Department of Land Transport have received a lot of complaints about cases like this. Therefore, if you want information from the Department of Land Transport Please follow the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/PR.DLT.NEWS/ Regards, Department of Land Transport <webmaster AT dlt.mail.go.th> <https://www.dlt.go.th>

I got my driving license (cars) in Belgium in 1971. No test, no questions, nothing of that at that time. Just pay 500 Baht (500BFR) at the police station and get your driver license for life (Cat. B). Drive the first year with an "L" sticker on your backscreen. 5 years later I went for an upgrade for buses and trucks and had to go to a driving school (2 days theory amd 2 days practice with a teacher). Paid 1,500 baht (1.500 BFR) at the police station and got a Cat "F" driver license (for life). But these Driver License were FULLY LEGAL, where the Facebook Scams are ILLEGAL!!!

I wouldn't say that it is a "Thai" or "Asian" thing. The responses to the cheap and fake "Amazon" sales, are from anywhere on the globe. I have fun reading these posts and it is amazing how many people fall in that trap of a "super duper electric mountain bike for 29.99 USD". Anyone with a single working braincell would know that for that price you can not even ship that thing. Still may people asks "Do you ship to Venezuela" and get a "Yes" answer. Incredible level of stupidity in this world.

You, me and some others will smell a scam and not fall in that trap But if you see the numbers of people who type "interested (in Thai)" or buy a "Super duper electric mountain bike from a fake Amazon site", the question begs if the majority of people on the internet have evolved to the human level?

More or less inhuman being who the man who murdered his 2 year old stepdaughter? This society is rotten to the core.

A few days ago, there was a topic about a 16-years young girl that was "raped" much elder man on social media. I will not go into that discussion, but ask the question if we are not heading to a disaster with the social media? Example 1. A decade ago, nobody would have thought of publishing sexy/barely dressed/naked pictures on the internet. Surely not of children who are barely mature and sometimes even not at the mature age (< 16 years). Nowadays, we can see in several social media channels (Facebook, Tik Tok, YouTube) pictures of children and others in sexy poses trying to make as many "Followers" as possible. Most of them with the sign "Give". Looking at the number of people watching these movies and the numbers of people "Giving" money, one can assume that many of them would make a decent income of it. A few years ago, I would hardly see any 16-21 old girl on a meeting site. Nowadays, I receive at least 3 messages per day from these girls asking for money. Sometimes, they propose to send naked pictures/movies of them in exchange. 10,000 Baht is assumed to be a fair price. See figure 1.jpg Is this not asking for trouble? Now and in the future when these girls will be mature and their pictures are all over the internet? Example 2: In Facebook, ther hundreds of advertisings of people selling "Driver Licenses". See figure 2.jpg. Looking at the number of people (mostly Thai) responding to these advertisings (100 to 1000) a quick count would give a "side income" of 3,500 x 1000 = 3,500,000 baht. A lot of money for the average Thai citizen. There is no fear of prosecution, because the DLT is too lazy and has not the means to sue Facebook. And the "Driver License" scam is only 1 example of this scam. Others like selling a 100TB memory stick for 599 baht (even on Lazada) or a Super-Duper electric bike for 29,99 USD can be read many times. Why would anybody start to work when they can make so easy money out of "stupid" citizens? Is this the "New Normal"? What are your though about this "New Normal"?

Could be worse.... They could come with the idea to make full size cardboard of tourists spending money at Duty-Free shops like they did with the cops.

So, you assume that they have "brains"? Wrong assumption .....

Sure, a lot of negative posts about the RTP can be read every day. But I have got also many times help from the RTP without asking me any money. All depends on your attitude and how you treat them. Not everything is black or white. A lot of gray shades between them.

Maybe a stupid remark, but why didn't you settle the payment with scan-me on your phone? Easy and no scamming possible.

Common fault in all these threads about incidents/accidents is being hospitalised in an expensive private hospital. I go every month to the Military Hospital to do a checkup and medicine prescription (blood analyse; X-ray; 2 doctors consultation and 6 medicines) and pay about 2,500 baht for everything. Last time, about 1 year ago, I was rushed to the Military Hospital in a critical condition, and stayed there for 9 days. 4 days ICU. Total bill: 18,000 baht. And for the records, I am alone and don't have a "walking translator" with me. If you are not sure that an insurance will cover you, REFUSE treatment in a private hospital and ask to be transferred to a Government hospital. If you are still able to speak, tell the hospital that you REFUSE to be treated there and ask to be transferred to a Government hospital. Just my 2 cents into this discussion.

The educational system is in a change worldwide. The old educational system with subjects like history, maths, language, science, etc. is making place for REAL skills like Marketing, Publishing and Economics. Nobody is interested in History or maths anymore. That can be done far better by AI and computers. What counts is "How can I make a successful business"? Even without business ethics. We have entered a new and most of the things we had been learning is Stone Age now. It is not a piece of paper (Grade or Diplome) which is going to pay your bread and rent at the end of the day. It's finding a good niche (even a scam of FaceSohit or whatever social media and know how to maintain the money flow that pays your wealth. The way we think about education is not relevant in this century.
