If the dress code is against the federal law, then by all means, enforce and take action. But if a lady's short skirt is giving you a boner, you need to be checked properly. Again - focus on my point - extreme religionism policing and racism in Malaysia. Don't drag Thailand into the argument.

My contention is focussed on racism and extreme religionism in Malaysia. Don't deflect by mentioning other "laws". Argue on point if you want to argue.

Why should it be practised more in Thailand? Go ahead and practise it wherever you want. Just leave Thailand alone.

Thailand's lese majeste law, is at least not rooted in racism and extreme religionism. Even traffic accidents posted on social media turn into acidic racial arguments. At least there is no racism and extreme religionism in Thailand.

This professor has no clue what he is on about. Port Dickson? It's not even in the shadows of Bang Saen and Bang Saen isn't even the best Thailand has to offer. On food alone, Thailand trumps Malaysia. Langkawi? Apart from the cheap duty-free booze, not much. Pantai Cenang, which I suspect has been modelled to emulate Pattaya's Beach Road, is just an empty street that offers not much. Again, not much variety in terms of food. The Chinese street/hawker food in Langkawi is "meh" at best, and quite a few Chinese restos don't serve pork to pander to the "halal" crowd. Haven't been to Redang and Mersing but on accounts from friends who have, they're also nowhere near what Thailand has to offer. The other problem in Malaysia is the religious and racial segregation and sometimes its overzealous policing, and not by official authorities at that. There has been reports that tourists were "harassed" and reprimanded in Langkawi for wearing shorts. On an island with beaches, FFS. The segregation and discrimination against "non-Muslim" and "non-Malay" is so obvious, it leaves a bad aftertaste. Sure, it's their country and their rule, But, and without disrespect, I am also exercising my own rights to share and inform about Malaysian based on my own experiences. I travel to Malaysia often, so I know. There was a place I used to like to go to in Malaysia - Cameron Highlands (about 5,500 ft above sea level) but, apart from the weather, the place is now run-down and unkempt. Overall, Thailand has better and cleaner facilities - cleaner public toilets (most in Malaysia reek, and Malaysians don't flush, for some inexplicable reasons) and better service attitude. The Thais in general are also more fun to be around. And don't get me started on beer and alcohol prices in Malaysia (bar Langkawi). I am not putting down Malaysia completely, but it certainly isn't 400 times "more beautiful" than Thailand. Maybe the other way around. A lot of their "tourist destinations" are not kept properly, are messy/dirty, unkempt and not properly managed. Most started off with good objectives, but lackadaisical attitudes and lack of pride of ownership have undermined these "destinations". This is in sharp contrast with Thailand, where everything must look good. Look at it this way - there is a reason why more Malaysians brace the drive, traffic and queues to holiday in the southern towns, cities and provinces of Thailand than spend weekends and holidays in Malaysia. It's all over the news, so this "professor" is really quite dumb to say what he said. Malaysians thronged places like Haadyai and Betong during the recent four-day weekend, while businesses in Malaysia cried for business. "Professor"... 55555

Not just this dumb puppet. The entire Shinawatra clan should go. And, as much as I don't like Hun Sen, I have to say "thank you sir".

Wednesday's headline was "Thailand's Tourism Soars with 20 Million Visitors in 2025", with Khun Sorawong Thienthong, Thailand's Minister of Tourism and Sports sharing the "impressive figures,". Today, Thailand is losing its "tourist edge". Do these muppets know of each other's existence?

He and his brainless daughter.

A loooooooooooooooooooooooong way of saying the (probably half-@r$ed) technician screwed-up.

Can't wait to see this Puppetongtarn go. Bring daddy along, please.

Thaksin is connected, influential and powerful so it's going to be difficult to get rid of him. But as long as he, his clan and all his clingers-on are around, Thailand will never move forward (no pun intended).

Se-can (scan) dai mai ka?

Alcohol in Thailand isn't the cheapest in the region, but it's way cheaper than Malaysia. A large bottle of Singha in our local Thai seven is still cheaper than one can of Carlsberg (~330ml) in Malaysia's seven. A case of Singha here is what... THB 6xx? In Malaysia, a case of Carlsberg is around MYR 14x. That's around THB 1,1xx. Ditto their wine prices. Prices at restos are even higher. It's surprising that Malaysia still has an 'alcohol industry' given the prices vs average wage in that country.

This is wrong. 'Moral standing' should never be in the same sentence as 'Shinawatra' or anything related to this 'clan'.

Months to investigate? For people to forget, more like. Reeks of a cover-up. The 23rd (or 24th, depending on which side of the divide one is on) Chinese 'province' has to tow the Party-line. Can't upset the mainland masters, right?

And again... 'influencers', 'youtubers' etc are all bywords for people with no real professional or life skills. Add 'tiktok star' to the list.

Maybe because it's assumed that most people are asleep from midnight onwards and not many people drink in the morning, except tourists maybe, while most people may start drinking during or after lunch, or have an early 'happy hours' hence making the 2-5 ban more obvious? Just guessing.

I'm with this Somchai 🍻

Good riddance. Good luck Japan.

Maybe Thailand kept them as bargaining chips with China, who knows? I read that this not-so-secret secret deportation took place after some high-level meetings between the two governments. Maybe this is Thailand cashing in their chips for some Chinese favour? Can they be this foul? I wouldn't put it beyond them, if I'm honest.

Agreed. As they say, you need a bully to deal with a bully. It's as simple as that.

By the way, the images and videos of people greeting and hugging the returning refugees could have been just a show. The CCP is perfectly capable of putting on a show like this, and it is nowhere near 'beyond them' to do so. For all we know, the people hugging them are actually CCP members telling the refugees to 'you're back, you won't be going anywhere so do yourself (and your family) a favour - shut up and do as you're told or face worse consequences'.

If it was all above-board, why didn't you make a pre-event announcement and clear the path for this 'exercise'? Tell the public the refugees want to go home, let the refugees speak, then send them off properly - not in taped-up buses under the cover of night. Why is there a need for secrecy (not that you lot can keep it well anyway!). The way you guys are clutching at straws now is just so amateurishly pathetic. Sought intervention from PM Puppet... 555555 This puppet wouldn't know where Xinjiang is if nobody pointed it out to her. So it seems PM Puppet's father isn't the real puppetmaster. It seems he's just an older puppet and the real master is Master Xi. A lot of Thais are outraged (and this time, rightly so) when people say Thailand is the 23rd Chinese province. I told them 'direct your anger at your government, because ultimately they are the ones who brought this insult and shame to your country'.

This is what I've heard from some people. Unverified and may just be hearsay, but somehow it sort of makes sense. China is practising a form of 'genocide' (don't know if there is a better term for what I am about to share). But instead of openly murdering people, they are sending hordes of Hans to mix with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. The Hans are 'encouraged' to live with the Uyghurs, brainwash them to tow the CCP line and, ultimately marry and start a family with them. This way, it will dilute the Uyghurs' genes, culture, identity etc. to a point where Uyghurs will simply cease to exist in the future. Maybe this is why they want them back in China - they do not want even one to be spared of this 'conversion'. Maybe this is just another conspiracy theory, I don't know. Just sharing.

It boggles the mind doesn't it? Every time someone spills a bit of tea, everyone is 'outraged' and worried about how it will affect the 'clean' image of Thailand. And then they do this...
