Take your pick. Sir Gustav Nossal, Noel Pearson, Julian Burnside. I suppose Bob Brown would be unacceptable to you.

Yes, we disagree. I've never been one for living in the past. As another poster has said, do you really think the UK cares about Australia? They have enough problems of their own, the Commonwealth has served its purpose. It's an anachronism.

You're reminding me of James Barrie.

 

 

I'm almost disappointed you didn't nominate Mel Gibson, Edna E. or Crocodile Dundee.

A well known politician ? An infamous Thai politician residing in Dubai comes to mind

 

Or did the well known politician assist the press to get the information?

Yes, exactly. And what kind of assistance? Assistance to the boss or assistance to the police and to the people of Thailand to get him back to face Justice? Usual <deleted> journalism or translation of Thai into English in news articles commonly encountered on these pages.

so all that fan fare about Thailand have a vaccine a few months back was just buffalo excrement ?

 

Did the HIV cure Thailand invented ever hit the market ?

Yes just before the abola vaccine did.

What do you suggest, use the commonly used "dubious" at best PCR tests that have a 88% chance off a false negative, that should help further the agenda 

"Covid cases" doesn't mean "people ill with Covid",

Its just a means of furthering the "controla" virus agenda ???? 

False positives are annoying but they're better than false negatives

That is the theory.

 

They never pick on the own people. Always blame foreigners!!!!!

Well, if they start  penalizing the Thai agents then they are dealing with ( picking on ) their own people.

My prediction of outcome will be that the offender in question will withdraw his and other  solicited  protracted vendetta style comments or agree to have them removed in return for the  Hotel  owner withdrawing  charges as a result.

 

As long as Thai law allows people to sue for defamation even though the complaint is genuine, these will re-occur.  The hotel will have taken the opinion that they cannot lose because, true or not, they were defamed and the dirty foreigner will realize he is not back home.  But really, a 500 corkage fee,???   Really?  But I would possibly be miffed too.

In the same vein we might even suggest to make a diving destination out of a certain redundant Aircraft Carrier.  p.s Does the definition and the list of similes for the word  redundant encompass "never used?"

There are reports from the original wood sailing ships telling of constant wild fires along the California coasts.

Apparently the climate is exactly the same as it was nearly 300-500 years back.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_California_wildfires

"from a historical perspective, it has been estimated that prior to 1850, about 4.5 million acres (17,000 km²) burned yearly, in fires that lasted for months."

 

https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-fire-perspectives-20171022-story.html

"on Oct. 8, 1542 — 475 years to the day before the wildfires began ravaging Northern California — the Spanish explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo saw smoke in the sky above Southern California. Cabrillo’s pilot, Bartolomé Ferrelo, dutifully recorded the phenomena in the ship’s log, as the explorer christened the San Pedro roadstead “Bahía de los Fumos o Fuegos.” (Bay of smoke and fire)"

Ah!  So they weren't raking and sweeping the forest floors even then, Huh?

Scrapping GPS is a bad idea.  Ban Lyft ? Then require taxi meters to be used every time, regardless of race of passenger. Require mobile payment and credit card services installation also ideally cash fares should be banned over time. There should be a large QR code on the outside/inside  of every taxi that passengers can scan for safety and reporting issues. All of this had been in effect around the world for years, no excuse. 

Installing GPS and a QR code sticker is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new one. If they let them keep the old ones even one year longer, make them pay for these two customer safety features.  On another subject, I guess LOS will not be one of the first counties to adopt Robo  taxis.  If for one reason only; that they will all suffer some form of severe damage within the first 24 hours, keeping them off the roads.  Rinse & repeat.

"I hate all dogs except the one next door which never barks and looks like a sheep"

By the sound of this you like sheep ..there's no shame in that own up to it.I wish you and Baaa bara a happy time.

 

That aside 

 

I like dogs .. Thai people just shouldn't have them they  simply are not qualified!! the dogs are either pampered beyond belief or treated cruelly, both of which is totally wrong

 

This one OP states is a  caged one will go mad hopefully bite owner... Now in closing .....which chronic imbecile buys a dog on line!!!

I agree with the opinion that (many if not most) Thais are not qualified to own dogs.  My wife was born on a farm with dogs and had no idea of the psychology of handling or even approaching dogs under any circumstances.  Now she trains other Thais about basic dog behaviours and interaction.   In nearly 6 years i could count on the fingers of one hand the number of Thais who visited our home in Chonburi North and had any clue at all about how to "read dog behaviour" or interact with dogs in any way at all.   Dog owners included, almost all of them.  Utterly no idea.

Another post in today's TV Forum email update.     I rest my case. 

I apologise for not having any useful advice for you.  I feel sorry for you and the dog.  Pitbull "types" take a lot more managing and I inherited one as a day old puppy whose mother and siblings all died at his birth and the owner (a brother of my wife) was and still is a useless dog owner.   He was and still is a handful.  (both the dog and the brother in law.)  I have not had any experience with a pure bred dog of that type, only mongrel " pit-bull types."  Soi dogs I have experienced are a mixed bag.  From delightful nature to untrustworthy, just like people.

That´s great! Then everyone here have a new face to dislike and continue to tell all the fabels how their embassy don´t help them. 

Let's hope he sees the position as a job, not a non-working holiday.  There is a lot of truth in the bad reviews given of many Consulates, if not also the Embassies on levels of enthusiasm shown to assist "their electorate", so to speak.   I have had problems with my own lot at times, And I am not even a "Moaning Pom" Brit !!!!!!

ho... it should be something like methamphetamine drug. It was legal in USA long times ago and stop due to the same problem... people die and can not stop to eat this sh...t. But they were more slim.

The problem about the big city population to start to be fat in Thailand for some of them is that young people start to eat the same bad food as USA people do (and what they see learn in TV show commercial efficient propaganda)... fat dirty burger, sugar pizza, hormonal-fed chicken, sausages, colored food and drinks, lot of sugar every where (because sugar is very addictive as a drug, if you can not have it, you feel unhappy next), etc... it is as if they assimilated by copying the worst of what they see happening elsewhere. Very strange, but i do understand some big bad food companies how much money they do by the image they provide to be so... cool and to make their products so easily accessible (even if very expensive) while making believe that they are luxury products enhancing their image (which is quite easy with gullible people who have no level of study to understand and worry about what they are eating). It's so cool the world of Disney... it is not like it is new now... but for some country it is new and an idea of modern life to go with (and for Thailand it is very not good because they have a so good national food... maybe the best of Asian food).

 

I think, because of now they start to make Thailand forbidden to access for normal and respectful foreigners people due to scammer business with 5 stars hotel 2 weeks jail and 2 times expensive Thai insurance for half service you can find other places (at price they will never paid for and will make them leave Thailand), it should have soon more and more scammers people to try to survive by sale strange magic killer products then the jail will be full.

 

They will, soon, have to paid Laosian cheap workers for new jail to build.

I am not so sure that traditional Thai food is that healthy. Lots and lots of sugar even in the spicy foods and lots of deep fried food frequently fried in less than suitable oils.

In some countries they put corrupt government officials to death. I'm afraid if Thailand did that half their government would be dead.

Doesn't scare me at all.  Most of them only receive the money to attend and not do anything productive or beneficial to their country, so it would be no loss to the country.

Can you blame them, the esteemed advice on TVF has been to dig out existing reservoirs, make them bigger, deeper, if they had followed this advice they would have wasted billions of Baht and ended up with even emptier holes than they have now ???? 

A lot of the ones around my family area are abandoned quarries 

May I respectfully suggest a few submarines worth of social support. No question mark. Rhetorical question only.

flood and drought seem recurring predictable problems and little seems to be done the alleviate the problems by successive governments. maybe it's a daft idea but how about building reservoirs in areas with rain to support the drier areas? as happened in victorian times in the uk when haweswater reservoir was built in the lake district to provide water for mancheter. and how about getting dutch experts to help with flooding prevention?

We won't let falangs think they can tell us how to do anything
